Worth noting, we're basically dealing with an overtly fascist Reagan now.
Trump's dementia has grown so extreme that a select group of advisors are now running the country without his input. To find who those advisors are and what their plans are, buy my new book, which will appear in March 2029.

Perhaps Donald Trump should sign an executive order declaring June 14 (his birthday) to be National Racial Animus Day.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

How many people are they killing with these rules, how many people are they torturing with these rulings? These people are so fucking cruel
"The Department of Justice has instructed inspectors to stop evaluating prisons and jails using standards designed to protect transgender, intersex and gender-nonconforming people from sexual violence...."
The pain this will cause, the violence...
This level of hatred should be criminal.

Guess trump doesn't want American blacks to be able to enjoy our national parks. Biggest reason behind it is he does not feel MLK or black Americans should deserve a holiday for their sacrifices. It is beyond racism. He would deport every black American if he could.

It's not even a new idea. Ru has had this aim since Soviet days. Even Yeltsin assumed the US decided Europe's fate alone and told Clinton he wanted Ru in on it. Now Trump's obsession w a Ru-American reset gives them hope the US will finally share and let Ru dominate a chunk of Europe.
Russian state tv is propagandizing this idea all over the place:
“Perhaps Russia and the United States will decide the fate of Europe without it. This is a very possible prospect”
