You made this bed, boo. Georgians are not fooled by your recent β€œchange of heart.” You will not become our governor!

WELKER: The US doesn't shoot people at the border who are bringing drugs in. Why should it be different at sea? Are you saying we should start shooting people at the border?

This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

When an ICE agent fired the tear gas canister, it hit 55-year-old nurse Vincent Hawkins in the face, shattering his glasses and concussing him.

As he was rushed to the emergency room, he wondered if he'd ever see through his left eye again.

not so much uncharismatic as anticharismatic. all the charisma within a 10 mile radius ups and leaves as soon as he starts speaking.

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

So the new version of MAGA is that Marjorie Taylor Greene is a traitor, Rand Paul is a RINO, and Zohran Mamdani is great.

Got it.

I do like opening with William Pitt. Such a fascinating character. His unabashed spending and willingness to humor the Americans in ways Braddock, Loudoun and others would not in the late 1750s helped turn the tide of the Seven Years' War....and create the problems he would later lament #HATM
