it requires someone to ignore literally everything his son, who the entire christian faith is based on, said for the entirety of his life
One of the most perverse things about the right wing generally is this belief that God, the actual ruler of the universe who loves us all, wants everyone to be armed to the teeth with deadly weapons that can kill dozens of people in seconds.

I will repeat: It is not obvious, based on the data, that campaigning on the economy in Nov would be significantly more effective than campaigning on immigration. Gov. policy is dramatically out of step with the public on immigration/deportations, and executive overreach is a potent motivator

The is not a new deal - this is Trump surrendering. For now. They have always said that the US & NATO is free to do what it wants in Greenland from a military perspective. Trump said that wasn’t good enough because he needs the US to “own” it. So this is simply Trump backing down

The one and only time NATO has invoked Article 5 and waged collective defense was when they came to *our* aid after 9/11.
That's a fact, no matter how dumb our current president is. Just saying.

Trump: "The big fear I have with NATO is we spend tremendous amounts of money with NATO and I know we'll come to their rescue, but I just really do question whether or not they'll come to ours. Just saying."

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Trump didn’t flood Minnesota with federal agents because of undocumented immigrants — he did it because he lost there, hates its leadership, and wanted to remind a blue state what power looks like when it’s unrestrained. Texas and Florida, with millions more undocumented residents, were ignored.
Trump’s Immigration “Crackdown” Is a Political Occupation, Not Law Enforcement
3,000 federal agents in Minneapolis — while Texas and Florida, with far larger undocumented populations, see none. This isn’t about immigration. It’s about vengeance, intimidation, and power.

The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society.
But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do.

He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.
