Hello?
Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.
Enough of the false equivalence.
One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.
And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.
They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.
