In 1996, Donald Trump crashed a gala fundraiser for a pediatric AIDS charity and took a seat on the dais. He wasn't invited. He hadn't even contributed to the charity, and never did. He just wanted to be at the front of the room, receiving honor and applause.

Trump boasts about his philanthropy. But his giving falls short of his words.
The Republican has not followed through on many of his promises to give to charity.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Not enough, but it's a start...
In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests.
Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here."
It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...

ICE Nativity scenes: Churches reimagine Christmas story amid deportations
(RNS) — 'We know that Jesus was born into a Roman imperial occupation, and pretty much immediately becomes a refugee in Egypt, has to flee and faces political violence,' the Rev. Michael Woolf said.

Don't smear Kagan, Sotomayor or Jackson. They're effing hostages to 5 manosphere freaks + Amy "Dominate me" JesusDoll.
I could weep for Justice Jackson. Rising to this level of her career to be met by a racist-misogynist douche-fest majority? May she live to see their legacies reduced to ashes.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

"I was shooting the remains of the boat, the people just got in the way." Again, worth noting that this was exactly the defense that U-852's captain used in his post-WW2 war crimes trial for the Peleus Incident. He was found guilty and shot.
Won't the whole SOF community be relieved when doing water survival training that properly packed cocaine acts as a flotation device. Bradley "I was shooting the remains of the boat, the people just got in the way."

Also, most importantly: It was an attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government of the United States.
Reminder about Jan 6:
it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached
