Oh so guilty. The lack of empathy doesn't shock me anymore. The immaturity is no surprise. The celebrated cruelty is expected. This shit needs to be stopped, before their deeds become the accepted norm, which is their end goal.

That post looks like something your snotty thirteen-year-old would do with your morning paper before you got to it. Except your snotty thirteen-year-old doesn’t have their finger on the launch button.

And that's the issue, isn't it? Grown-ass people will sometimes act like assholes and snotty 13-year olds, but most of them do not have the nuclear codes.

After watching Mr. Abrego Garcia’s wife and family during the briefing yesterday, it broke my heart seeing his wife trying to keep her composure while listening to Sen. Van Hollen. It has to be so difficult to have a spotlight placed on her and her kids for her husband’s abduction when all they tried to do was live their lives in peace.

And I sincerely hope she didn’t see that NYT altered headline. All this during the holiest Christian week in the calendar. There is no bottom for the cesspool that is this administration! ⚔️

Thanks for posting the briefing! I was in a Good Friday service praying for Mr. Garcia, Sen. Van Hollen, and the Garcia family. We all need to keep up the pressure to return him and continue refuting the administration's lies.

Well, at least Team Trump is doing this as an expression of Christian values. He truly is the best Christian, like no other Christian you’ve ever seen before, willing to stand up for fellow Christians around the world as he did at a “prayer service” earlier this week:

“Trump also took the moment to tout his recent accomplishments in-line with Christian beliefs, and slammed efforts to move the country away from its Christian foundation.”

What am I missing that so many Americans are still okay with this cruel hypocrite?

I cannot answer that. It’s enraging and confounding.

I’m repeating myself but we should remind these so called Christians that Jesus (that empathetic weenie) was so woke, he woke from the dead.

Watched most of the briefing yesterday, sadly Van Hollen was not accompanied by EVERY other Senator!

Even by their lofty standards, the hubris there is breathtaking.

(...and about that SCOTUS ruling in the wee hours?!? huh.)

The Trump post is appalling. It's potential use in court delicious. Thank you Susan Campbell for the wonderful news!

What a strange thing to post on Patriot’s Day. Please read today’s Heather Cox Richardson’s post. She details small acts of courage and a grown determination of the citizenry to gain independence from a government out of touch with the needs of the people. Patriots Day is a good day for each and every one of us to take a small courageous step. Many drops of rain become a torrent. Let us restore a government that is ruled by law and addresses the needs of the governed people.

Stephen Miller would my guess as the author of that crap. Karoline Levitt probably did the actual scrawl with the usual ugly smarmy look on her mug thinking it’s clever.

How did Levitt get so obnoxious in 27 short years? She must be a quick study.

The lack of empathy saddens me. But it reinforces efforts to resist. It is going to be a long 4 years, (maybe 2 with the mid-terms) Can't wait to join others today, marching at noon! Swords Up!

And today's announcement that Harvard shouldn't be so mad, the letter to them was sent by mistake. Even though when they reacted to the mistake, Felon47 threatened to take away their tax exempt status. A lot of mistakes. A LOT of mistakes, it's not my faults, I'm just reading what they handed mes, as in "It says on this paper hes a terrorist so even though we admitted sending him to CECOT was a mistake, it wasn't!"
