Trump is online positively wailing about this picture, because he is weak and vain and cares exponentially more about himself than anything else.

Nigel Farage must be the world's unluckiest man.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
