"OK, quick follow up, do you realize when you say locking up a five-year-old coming home from preschool is 'making America a safer place' that normal people will think you're an insanely racist piece of shit?"
Q: Do you have any moral or ethical qualms about detaining a five-year-old on his way back from preschool?

We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding - The American Prospect
While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.

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.

I really think the judge should consider whether the statements from Halligan and Bondi saying Halligan served the full 120 days of her appointment constitute a violation of their ruling. The whole point of the ruling was that they had to stop pretending she was lawfully appointed in the first place

I love this idea so much
The reporters should just try to keep him talking for as long as possible. Keep nodding along and if he ever slows down, ask him about the details of the ballroom or whatever, just keep him talking and talking and eventually he'll become dehydrated but he won't stop talking he'll just keep on until

Trump wants the rich to be richer, unions to be weaker, and everyone else to be easier to exploit.
He's not ushering in a New Golden Age. He's taking us back to the Gilded Age.

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.
