Rachel Maddow observed this evening that the brazenness that many in this regime are acting out and communicating seems to indicate they aren’t worried about ever having to run for office again…hmmm.
https://whitehouse.gov is rapidly approaching the class level of a troll farm instead of the official communication channel for the “shining city in the hill”. After the former NRA comms director posted the vulgar image of leg irons, they are scooping the gutter.
One of my brothers & my SIL were there for the weekend & were evacuated to the upstairs but no one was allowed to leave. They got the all clear after @ two hours. They decided to head out since it’s a 4 hr drive home. Tarrio needs to be locked up!🤬🤬🤬
Does this moron work? Where is his income coming from. For him to come out of jail and travel around stalking people means he doesn’t have a job , so who’s financially supporting him.
It's not as if we didn't know the (low) caliber of the members of the Trump administration. They seem determined to never let us forget.
But I guess immature & embarrassing was exactly what MAGA voted for.
These patriots should have a group of volunteers accompany them to events and when these neo-Nazis start to harass them and shoot video, this group should stand in front of them and chant something like traitor, traitor, traitor, and let them tape that.
I hear ya, and I agree to a point. On the other hand, when you immerse yourself enthusiastically and completely into an agenda as cruel and vile as the current festivities, all bets are off.
What is going on with his forehead? This looks like there is a serious neurological issue going on there. Seriously! This guy might want to get a cat scan or MRI before he unexpectedly drops dead!
It's weird that he's gravitated to the incel caucus. He looks like a happy, healthy, well adjusted man with meaningful relationships and good friends in his life.
It’s the sheer disintegration of public discourse that enrages
me.The lack of decorum, the use of intemperate language,
the nastiness which would, in better times, have been unthinkable.
They’re flying high, powered by their feelings of invincibility,
They should ponder the fate of Icarus.
Is there anything the Marriott Corp can do against Tarrio/PBs for his actions in their hotel Sat? They had innocent guests, incl young kids, checking in and witnessed this provocation. Their staff, too! Given Tarrio’s violent background + now this can’t they bar him/his group from their hotels?
They should bar him and any of his notable members from staying at ANY Marriott. If they don’t take any action on this, I will reconsider staying with them in the future. They are allowing their property to be a spot that is open to violence if they choose to let this continue.
How many times exactly does it take for you to pardon criminals who assault police officers before the FOP stops endorsing you? The idea what this was ever about “law and order” is ridiculous.
Why isn't the Dem "Leadership" out there condemning Trump for this and tying Tarrio even tighter to Trump? Just one of a million examples of opportunities squandered by the cowards in the "Leadership."
There is no "Dem Leadership." That's the problem. Hakeem ain't cuttin' it. And the others are running around in circles desperately needing Leadership.
1/ There is a shift going on in the country. Americans are finally waking up to what’s happening, their realizing the peril that we now face. The Trump administration is getting pushback, not from the politicians from either party,
2/ but from the courts and Americans citizens engaging in the process of democracy. Activist groups using the courts to file suits against the administration along with Americans protesting in the streets, demanding their representative actually represent their interest.
3/ I think of this in terms of the German Blitzkrieg. In the early part of the war, they swept across Europe, through Poland, France, eventually they had the British army trapped against sea. It was every day civilians, fisherman, laborers, that used fishing boats
4/ coordinating with the British government that saved the British army from being wiped out. Gave the army a chance to get their footing, to stay in the fight. It did not have the importance at the time that it should have,
but there is no D-Day without Dunkirk.
5/ I think that is what’s happening now, Every day Americans and advocacy groups across this country, have become the citizens in fishing boats to save our democracy. No longer sitting by idly as spectators.
Our D-Day will be the Supreme Court weighing in on what’s happening.
6/ Do they give Trump everything he wants or do they push back at this authoritarian administration. Honestly, I don’t know the answer anymore than you do. But we have to get there first, and that doesn’t happen unless we fight now. Our freedoms are only as strong, as the shoulders It stands on.
Among many sickened feelings … I feel deep shame to see this come from the official White House communications office. No dignity, no honor, no class, no tact, no intelligence. Just thuggery, meanness, and boorishness. What an abomination.
I am not being petty but Stephen Chung should not leave the house without a bag over his head. He is the very definition of “ugly as fuck.” I think his inner environment is such garbage his looks caught up.
Steven Cheung (and Stephen Miller) is the 'Sammy the Bull Gravano' of the Trump-Musk-Mafia family. It seems everyone in the MAGA-Crime-Family likes to make 'nice event (group) you have there, it would be a shame if something happened to it' threats. These thugs better end up in prison some day
Seriously!! These people have NO LIFE!! They have absolutely nothing better to do with their lives???? That’s the problem with these people! They have nothing better to do!
Perhaps a reporter might ask at a future press conference: "Is it common that WH communications staff use the word 'cuck' to describe political opponents? And what do you suppose it means?"
The White House is calling people "cucks" and pretty much telling the brown shirts to "stand back and stand by"... it's really hard not to advocate violence against these assholes. If it comes to them, they more than deserve it
They are smug pieces of 💩 who need to go to jail for their traitorous actions and rot there. Is this harsh? No. History has taught us what happens when seditious men are released from jail. Example: the evil man with the funny mustache and his friends in the first half of the last century.
I’ve lost all interest and faith in the commentary class. I’m no longer giving my attention to people who are just offering opinions. I’m focused on actions and solutions. Opinions, -as they say- everyone has one and they all stink.
Right-wing talk radio changed perceptions and coddled certain notions for decades. This redefined things in culture as bad and obscured reality. Now its just politics to own the libs and/or voting for cathartic figures that say theyre going after these- by definition- enemies
We now have the criminals harassing and targeting police officers? Thanks asshole trump for those pardons. Never want to hear him say anything about law and order. Or any of his sycophants and I do mean sick o Fants
The MAGA GOP cult thinks it’s an appropriate use of gov’t communications to lie, personally attack, threaten, and harass citizens. Embarrassing and disgraceful-
Yes. They are urging their "flock" to run for school boards and other civic positions so they can FORCE FEED their warped dogma on everyone else. It is the Year of the Snake in Chinese New Year and Donald has returned. Not a coincidence.
I’ll take whatever derogatory name Mr. “make sure you know I’m an alpha male” Cheung wants to call the Principles First event over the NAZI salute parade at CPAC. Waiting for the day when NAZI salutes will become required of the WH press corps along with only saying Gulf of America.
Everyday another bit of proof that Trump’s people align themselves with the worst of America. I am surprised that Cheung et al have not openly praised their soul bros in Nazi Germany. That’s next week, apparently.

They are standing back and standing by! 😡 he opened the prison doors!
Actually you don't have to be that old, GWB at the 2017 inauguration.
But I guess immature & embarrassing was exactly what MAGA voted for.
Trump got re-elected & has avoided prison in spite of convictions & pending serious charges.
The MAGA GOP controls Congress.
Elmo is doing whatever he wants even though it's illegal.
The good thing about Cheung is that whatever comes out of his mouth you can safely assume the opposite is true.
I'll allow it * bangs gavel *
He has no existence outside of his owners.

Jerry Springer -ish, but not as respectful and classy.

Trump really raised the bar for all politicians.
I wonder if their families ever feel ashamed.
Maybe cuz he assaulted the cops there, and those same cops now have a 1600 name long list of reasons to hate the guy that pardoned him.

Perhaps they’ll find out the hard way who the real “cucks” are?
He hits every bullet point.
That's the whole origin story.

NOTHING he ever says is accurate or true.
But I am still naive enough to feel disgusted that someone in the White House used the word Cucks to describe their fellow Americans.
Their fellow humans.
