ICE Is Nothing Like the Brownshirts, Because the Brownshirts Actually Identified Themselves

He has a contract renewal coming up…

I'd like to think he's rich enough to not need to bastardise his principles for someone like Trump. And we all know Disney will cower if they try it again.

Still, I do understand where you're coming from.

Sadly, the path has already been planned out by Vought and the groundwork laid.

You know the fix is in when Republicans do NOT want mail-in ballots (and they usually win the overseas Armed Forces mail-in votes hands down) but DO want to rely on the new voting machines THEY NOW CONTROL!

Someone has already testified they can DIRECT VOTES using the computer code that runs the machines, even if the “printout” you see for your own individual vote looks correct!

Musk didn’t spend 1/4 Billion dollars on Trump’s election to have there be any doubts about the outcome!

Read an article about Vought in the NYT last night. It's frankly terrifying.

If Kimmel was really as edgy as he says he is with regarding attacking Trump. He'd leave late night and follow Conan O'Brien into the you tube podcast sphere so he could give this administration both barrels with no censorship from Disney.

He has a huge fan base that would move with him and he could monitise to earn more than his late night salary.

Check the senators stock buying app and give it two days until they dump for a profit and a 'deal' is agreed.

Wait, they wouldn't do that because the IG's would be all over... Oh, never mind.

The Suspect in the Michigan Church Shooting Was a Trump Supporter – and Suddenly Trump, Vance, and Patel Are Silent

On ‘Ask the Editor,’ Mehdi and Prem call out GOP hypocrisy, as the domestic ‘War on Terror’ comes to Portland, Oregon. Plus: is it time for Schumer and Jeffries to resign?

Apologies

The sofa shagger said it before this tragedy occured.

I was half listening to morning Joe mentioning it today.

Surprised they even followed up on it. They seemed more bothered about the Ryder Cup yesterday

How has their government shut down when both parties can’t agree on funding? Isn’t their treasury awash with $17 trillion dollars of extra revenue Trump has brought in through his tariffs?

Probably trying to protect Trump.

Probably not.

Either way, he meant it.

Worth remembering that during a gov shutdown most federal workers are on enforced unpaid furlough. Essential workers have to work unpaid. Both these groups should get back pay when the gov returns. Trump? Oh yes he gets paid.
Congressmen? Oh yes they get paid.
A few congressmen refuse their pay but I particularly laughed at the senator who said he had a mortgage to pay and three kids to feed, so he couldn’t give his cheque back! He failed to mention the plight of his constituents who have mortgages and kids.
