    A good friend of mine is a Mexican-American, he says he's Mexican, etc, and he's proud of his heritage.

    He absolutely hates Cubans. He says they 'think they're better than us' and that 'they think they're white'.

    I don't think he's right to profile an entire nationality, but I think this is a good example of a group of people grossly misunderstanding the perception of another group to their detriment, in this case, elite white conservative people. Obviously elite whites don't think Cubans are white, hence they're subjected to Icestapo.

    If I were him, I definitely wouldn't put my info into the public, since to ICE agents, he's just a walking deportation bonus.

    An excellent interview by CBS with Governor Beshear of Kentucky, who's in Davos:

    “The Press Secretary is not telling the truth. Trump referred to Greenland as "Iceland" multiple times, not only as a "piece of ice" as she falsely claims. It is not relevant what "written remarks" say; Miss Dean did not claim to be talking exclusively about written remarks.”

    It must be EXHAUSTING being Trump's press secretary. You are in constant crisis mode. LIterally 24/7/365. No wonder he's the only POTUS to have 4 different press secretaries in one 4-year term. By contrast, Reagan and W had 4 over TWO terms.

    The things you are constantly forced to do.
    1. Sean Spicer - lied about the crowd size at Trump's inauguration and said the photo was fake. Suddenly resigned after only 6 months.
    2. Sarah Sanders - lied about Trump promoting violence at a campaign event and Trump's confrontation with reporter Jim Acosta. Dealt with it by just not having press briefings anymore. Resigned to save what was left of her credibility so she could run for Governor
    3. Stephanie Grisham - lied about a botched execution saying it was "quite peaceful." Dealt with it by never having press briefings. Reassigned during pandemic due to actually gaining a conscience. Resigned on 1/6 after a text exchange with Melania Trump asking her to call for peace during the attempted coup (she said no). Now a Trump critic
    4. Kayleigh McEnany - defended Trump's suggestion that injecting disinfectant could dure COVID and compared him to Winston Churchill after he forcibly removed George Floyd protestors so he could pose for a staged picture of him holding a bible in front of a church

    How long will Karoline Leavitt last? She's only 27 so she's still pretty naive and inexperienced.

    Pardons for sale is just one of his many side gigs in his power grift. Add in all the family investments for policy favors and government contracts at home and abroad and the grift is out the roof. It's why he loves pardoning the richest fraudsters, and embracing them, as he and his family travel around the world wheeling and dealing with foreign leaders who won't hesitate to cover up a bit of tit for tat corruption and money funneling.

    The only thing missing from that scene is the MAGA politicians standing around applauding and telling him how amazing his aim is.

    Well, to look at one positive, Trvmp II has supercharged the once-tiny snuff film industry.
    Several never-before-discovered auteurs have suddenly sprung to viral status, in just a matter of weeks.

    Yeah, not Astrodome actually, IMHO. He's not much of a lapper, while definitely in no way liberal. We can agree to disagree, but I just don't want to push every decent person on one side of the line, even though we may be quickly approaching that point.

    Okay, let's try it. Arguably we should be able to draw the following line or lines.

    1. Either you are okay with are not okay with federal agents killing someone with no honest follow-up investigation and no real consequences to the agents. They can go to work the next day as if nothing happened.
    2. Either you are okay or not okay with top federal officials calling a citizen with no major prior offenses a "domestic terrorist" minutes after they were killed by federal agents.


    Notice, I didn't say "murder," which is a conclusion that should come after a real investigation. I said "killed," which is painfully obvious to everyone on any part of the spectrum.

    Anyway, I am firmly team "not okay" on both 1 and 2. I bet some of our non-liberal brethren (maybe just one or two?) are also on team "not okay," though more quietly.
