Trump is alone, humiliated, surrounded by loser supporters, and extremely angry. This is when he'll be at his most dangerous and will do as much as possible to hurt America and the world.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Mike Lee shouldn't just be expelled from Congress, he should be expelled from public life, just completely shunned by everyone he encounters like in that episode of The Twilight Zone. He is unfit to hold public office and his party should take action. The party won't, but it should.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

One of Trump's first actions was to pardon Jan 6 insurrections. He offered a “get out of jail free” card to people who committed violence on his behalf. And he continues to spew hateful rhetoric towards his political opponents. This will only fuel more violence.

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info.

Can a president can pardon himself? The Framers knew that "one can't be a judge in one's own case." A POTUS shouldn't be able to pardon any of his own agents that he has commit crimes on his behalf either. An agent is an extension of oneself. It's like a Godfather pardoning his hitmen. Reform now.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Boelter seems to be a fair representation of how political violence melds with mental disturbances in lone wolves. Those, like Trump, who use public platforms to incite violence make it more likely that mentally unwell people will channel their feelings of rage toward specific political figures.
