Coulter has a point, especially when you consider that upon receipt Cleveland began using the colossal neoclassical sculpture as a nonpublic personal transport—including trips to and from political fundraisers—and post-presidency used it as the primary ticket-sales driver at his presidential library

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...
“The reason they’re doing [this] is to try to create an environment of fear, to try to get people like myself... to shut the fuck up,” Piker said on a stream recounting the details of the incident.

It is unbelievable the level corruption in this regime. Out in the open and Republicans are completely fine with it
It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar!

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

“They feel no weight of the law & no restraint. That was shown in broad daylight when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? TO ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY.” 🔥
Alina Habba tells Fox News that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and is being held in a secret location right now.
Martha MacCallum: "Where is he being held?"
Habba: 'I'm not going to speak to that right now. He's obviously in New Jersey."

You can have 5 pencils
Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."
MAGA is a death cult.
We knew he believes he doesn’t but it is wild for him to say this out loud
WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree?
TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.
WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution?
TRUMP: I don't know
What a dolt
WELKER: When does it become the Trump economy?
TRUMP: It partially is right now. I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy
Hey RickyP. Saw your high scores on Aer Lingus’ in-flight version of Tetris. Just want to let you know that I have fucking embarrassed your ass so fucking bad dude.
This is outrageous!
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. First Trump illegally sent a child’s father to be imprisoned without trial or due process in El Salvador. Then ICE grabbed her mother to be deported to Venezuela.
But despite the mom saying she wanted to leave with her daughter, ICE is keeping the baby!
ooo she sounds smart and hot wonder if she has a name!!!

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.
Very powerful.

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you
“In the case of the other family, a U.S. citizen child suffering from a rare form of metastatic cancer was deported without medication or the ability to consult with their treating physicians–despite ICE being notified in advance of the child’s urgent medical needs.”

A Pope Who Preached Decency in Indecent Times
Pope Francis’s death leaves a spiritual void at a moment of great stress.
Hopefully it holds

I am not a Catholic, nor do I believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. But Pope Francis has always struck me as one of the people most willing to work hard to live the life of service and humility preached by Jesus, and was therefore an example to follow.
Rest in peace, Pope Francis.
