this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

Everyone should listen to this.

It’s easy to blame Rogan for understanding the situation far too late, but the important thing is that he’s using his platform-with his millions of listeners-to talk about it now.

This one show will reach more normal GOP folks than we ever could.

The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

JD Vance trying to distract from the “Young” Republicans Nazi worship and rhetoric by bringing up Jay Jones text messages from three years ago is weak. The GOP continually incites and carries out violence against the American people.

Trump kept his business interests

Then used public office to enrich himself

From foreign money to crypto schemes

I call it what it is: corruption—& the most corrupt presidency in modern history

Florida has 7 cities with worse rates. Even Orlando, home of Disney World, is more than twice as bad as NYC.

And Chicago, at #22, is better than 21 other cities.

In fact, Trump's "tough on crime" in blue cities REALLY means unhinged attacks on Latinos by unidentified ICE agents. The most flagrant lawlessness in these cities is committed by these guerilla wannabes, almost all White. It is a shame we will not live down.
