funny to see this clip of an anonymous chud who needs white supremacy to feel like his life has meaning just after attending an event honoring a brilliant black scholar for her brilliant book
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Under that 2010 treaty, each side is capped at no more than 1,550 accountable strategic nuclear warheads/bombs. The United States presently arms 400 Minuteman III ICBMs with 1 warhead apiece. But starting tomorrow, up to 200 of those missiles could carry 3. Vladimir Putin will also be unconstrained.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
