Trump calls Ilhan Omar 'garbage' and says Somalis should 'go back to where they came from' The president, who has a history of disparaging African people and migrant communities, launched into a tirade over Minnesota's Somali population at the end of a Cabinet meeting.

An absolutely deplorable man.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.

He served for 37 years.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Imagine being a career officer in the chain of command on Trump's boat bombings. You have deep moral and legal concerns about them. Your faith in leadership is shaky. Then you see Pete Hegseth tweet out a sadistic cartoon about it. Must be awful.

MAGA is a hate movement. Megyn Kelly said:

"I not only wanna see them killed in the water...but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out"

Opinion | Why JD Vance keeps trying to help Russia win the war with Ukraine The vice president pushed a Russia-friendly peace plan — which tracks with his far-right worldview that sees Putin as an “anti-woke” culture war ally, says Nicholas Grossman.

JD Vance pushed the recent Russia-friendly "peace" plan, effectively trying to get Ukraine to surrender.

It didn't work.

But it's hardly the first time. Why does he keep trying to help Russia win? Because he's a far right ideologue who sees Putin as a culture war champion.

New from me, in @ms.now

He lacks Trump's charisma and cult-of-personality, so he's less of a political-electoral danger.

But he's smarter, and ideological instead of personalist, which would make him more dangerous with power.

Yeah this is why as much as I hope ~really good things~ happen to Trumр, I fear Vаnce more, because he's an ideologue. He's much smarter and he's not going to be swayed by whoever he talked to last. Zelenskyy's charm offensive has no effect on him.
