Re Minneapolis: There is no justification for this on any level. ICE is mostly comprised of untrained thugs who have no clue about what they are doing. By what authority? Straight out police state shit!Quoting mayor of Minneapolis. “Sorry if I offended your Disney Princess ears”

Reminder: Susie Wiles told Vanity Fair's Chris Whipple: "If he were to authorize some activity on land, then it's war, then [we'd need] Congress."

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

June 14. A few months after coming to power, the regime orders a massive military parade in the nation’s capital, on the regime leader’s birthday - symbolizing the regime’s claim that the leader embodies the nation.

I lived 17 years on this earth before I realized IHOP stood for International House of Pancakes. I thought IHOP was a family name who started the restaurant, and that International House of Pancakes was just their slogan.

Gonna be a wild time when other countries start reciprocating by revoking American visas and deporting Americans because of the policies of this administration.

I mean it when I say there are influencers whose businesses in cheap-shit hauls are going to be very very much affected.

“My opponent Elon Musk” is perfect.
