    I mean, they’re surely complicit. They just agreed to more funding for ICE. Any further killings will be on the democrats’ hands equally as much as on the republicans’.

    JFC. The projection is so “on-the-nose”, it’s laughable. It’s like the most basic game of word swap possible.

      Taxpaying

      Last I checked, the people buying our elections have many methods to avoid paying the taxes they should be.

    The Nuremberg trials established clearly that following orders is no defence and that the people at the top are responsible for. All the way to the top as if they pulled the trigger.

      “And all those little kiddies I raped? That was their fault too. If they didn’t want it then why were they so young and nimble…and so so.”
      “Sir.”
      “What?”
      “Y…you are getting ‘distracted’ again.”
      “What. Oh yes, but it was their fault that I raped them… again and again and agai.”
      SIR!!

    The shit gets wilder and wilder, and yet I know there’d still be a dwindling percentage of people that believes it.

    Like, eventually the claim is so absurd, it’s hard to fathom any individual to not immediately disregard it. But even then, there’d be some dumb ass saying, “Ya know what? It’s just as Trump says, this is because Thomas Jefferson was a gay panda robot that still controls us from his statue and the Dems are protecting him!”

      Most of the people who believe it are stuck in their own echo chamber where anything Trump says is gospel and questioning him is blasphemy.

      I think that there’s some pretty heavy lifting done by self-segregation into news sources. There are a relatively-small number of Republican-leaning sources.

      https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2025/06/10/the-political-gap-in-americans-news-sources/

      Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic Party are much more likely than Republicans and GOP-leaning independents to both use and trust a number of major news sources. These include the major TV networks (ABC, CBS and NBC), the cable news networks CNN and MSNBC, major public broadcasters PBS and NPR, and the legacy newspaper with the largest number of digital subscribers, The New York Times.

      Republicans, meanwhile, are much more likely to distrust than trust all of these sources. A smaller number of the sources we asked about are more heavily used and trusted by Republicans than Democrats, including Fox News, The Joe Rogan Experience, Newsmax, The Daily Wire, the Tucker Carlson Network and Breitbart.

      Fox News only really has competition on the further right for TV news, from Newsmax and One America News Network. I’m actually kind of surprised that there hasn’t been a challenger from the center-right side.

        One could argue that the sources you listed (broadcast and cable news networks, major outlets like the New York Times, etc.), are the center-right.

    Is this blackmail or extortion? I always forget how they’re different. “Why won’t you let me cheat? I’m the king.”

    Trump said he’s asking Congress for “immediate” legislation banning sanctuary cities.

    Trump also called on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and “EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor” in America to “formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence.”

    I’m frankly sick of everyone being shocked and surprised when it’s been blindingly obvious what the goal was since 2021-01-06.stop fucking appealing to his better nature. He doesn’t have one.
