Kinda weird how the government’s crackdown on antisemitic speech never seems to impact actual Nazis…

Not to be pedantic here but if they’re US citizens, it’s not “deportation”. There might be a word for this idea in German.

Just throwing this out there, but perhaps we should reconsider some aspects of a system where the global economy rises and falls on the whims of an impulsive 78-year old whose most distinguished achievement in business was bankrupting a casino.

Again, worth at the last considering the possibility that he’s a malevolent idiot who has no idea what he’s doing.

Don’t forget! They’ve also fired tens of thousands of federal employees and eliminated the grants and contracts that support the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands more!

My long-running hot take is that Val Kilmer played Doc Holliday better than any actor has ever played any other character, period.

Dunking on Elon is actually a healthy societal response. Ridicule and opprobrium are part of how we safeguard our society against assholes and bullies. It’s important that there be social costs to pay when you do a whole bunch of odious, anti-social shit. Do right by society; be better liked!

This is, among other things, a ghastly use of federal resources. Trump promised he was going to hunt down violent criminals who were here illegally. Instead he’s sending ICE after an unarmed college student, who’s here legally, because she wrote an op-ed he didn’t like in the school paper.

Nothing less than an independent special counsel with the authority to bring indictments free from DOJ interference will suffice.

Some Democratic presidential aspirant should declare their candidacy today on a platform promising the arrest all of these losers, and prosecute them for the data leak, the perjury, and also the war crimes.

The thing to remember is that these are crimes and the participants are criminals. At any time prior to January 20, 2025, their homes would've been raided, their electronics seized as evidence and they would've been marched out in cuffs.

In a functioning system, these people would all have resigned now in shame, and they would be under an active criminal investigation not only for mishandling top secret classified information, but - at least in the cases of DNI and the CIA Director - now also perjury.
