Honestly, an unqualified, racist 30 year old who self-describes as having a streak of Nazism wanted HIS IRATE MOM to confront Democrats and defend him is soooooo on the nose. Both of them are exemplars of entitlement.

While lawmakers seem out on Paul Ingrassia, the Trump nominee with a self-proclaimed “Nazi-streak,” there was one person on Capitol Hill willing to go to bat for him: his mom.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Somehow it will be Biden’s fault. Or Obama’s.

Same dumb deflection that Trump uses

The extent to which GOP legislators will go to prevent voters’ representation is infinity.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Do the Republicans have a health care plan yet? It was coming ‘in two weeks’ through Trump 1.0. Then he had four years to think on it. Now here we are and not even a concept of a vague thought of an idea of a plan.

Deliberately arranged riot in Portland, Oregon?

In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras.
