Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. Robert Frost

Spot on:
The thing to remember is that the president got where he is in life not by being a master businessman but by schmoozing with famous people. It shouldn't surprise us that he'd get starstruck by a dashing mayor of the city he once swanned about in.

This is an astonishing thread: Please read every word. It outlines how the Trump administration has systematically and repeatedly lied about its use of force in Chicago. I don't know what the remedy is, but if federal agents assault civilians, shouldn't they be held accountable?
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Do you remember "Comical Ali," the Iraqi spokesman for Saddam Hussein during the Iraq war? He became a global laughing stock and won the nicknames Baghdad Bob and Comical Ali because he said such absurd and outrageous things....

Always remember this. THIS is sedition, the attempted overthrow of a fair election. And the man they committed sedition for pardoned all of them. Never forget!
Trump screaming sedition because democratic Veterans made a message that the military can disobey and unlawful orders. Conveying the Uniform Code of Military Justice is NOT sedition. January 6th was sedition and Trump pardoned them all.
