Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."
The thing is that (and here I'm going to invert an old canard here) the reactionaries believe the same thing as the radical left RE: the founders of this country and the nature of its people. They think that Americans are hollow voids of belief besides racism and rape.
The entire ideological basis of fascism is "I can hurt you if I want" and they are completely helpless when the person they threaten says "And then?"

Virginia Democrats are planning the first step toward redrawing congressional maps, a move that could give their party two or three more seats.

NEW: Trump has pardoned Binance founder CZ, wiping away one of the US’s most significant crackdowns on crypto crime.
The pardon is emblematic of Trump’s approach to clemency:
CZ hired lawyers & lobbyists with Trump ties, while Binance struck a business deal with the Trump family’s crypto company.

If people genuinely believe that you can't find rural white guys without some nazi affection, and thus we can't afford to have a high standard here, then we have much bigger issues than just one candidate.
apropos of nothing a good reason to be even /excessively/ punitive against displays of nazi iconography is quite simply that it sends a message that it's unacceptable in and of itself

The Framers constructed a fairly complete system of checks and balances but they could not have predicted the modern Republican party.
see the control on pardons is supposed to be "if the president blatantly pardons a criminal ally, he gets impeached"
all of this comes back to the failure of the Republican Party and Congress to have even a modicum of public decency.

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history
There are people on here saying "well maybe it shouldn't be rebuilt/maybe it should be changed/maybe this is an opportunity to build a whole new presidential residence", and I respect some of them very much and think they have valid reasons for that position. But they're also wrong imo.
