"I love the smell of deportations in the morning...Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR"

trump this morning on lies social. So everybody's okay with this? Not even worth mentioning on MSNBC, let alone countless breathless NYT front page headlines? It's a direct quote.

Aaron Rupar says this is "one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something."

can't smell anything in the morning other than the odor from his dirty diaper. He just won't admit it.

Not an exact quote - it never is - something else is sustituted for the original napalm. And whatever it is tells you something about who the speaker is.

Looking at coffee mugs recently, I noticed there is one showing Joe Biden saying "I love the smell of democracy in the morning."

And declaring war - to him, the Nobel *Peace* prize is a trinket to be a prop at his Merde a Lardo social director events *and* to market for money making.

I don't think trump is going to come out ahead on this one. But I would like to hear more anger and urgency from other Dems.

I’d say the afflicted city has the right to use every means at its disposal to repel, capture, and in the case of resisting, and if deemed necessary to protect the safety of the local citizenry and constabulary, armed/lethal force to defend itself.

It has been a while since questionable characters showed up in Chicago claiming they were musicians on a mission from God, and even they had more credibility than Noem’s shadowy mercenaries. I’d say Chicago has every right to resist unidentified armed invasion with like force.

changes a defense department to a WAR department...
threatens an American city with an apocalypse...
tried to spirit immigrant children away under cover of darkness... told Bibi to 'finish it'...
blew an alleged drug smuggling boat out of the water...
and ensured the deaths of an estimated 4 million MORE children by killing USAID.

And this so-called "peace prize worthy" fuck is just getting started.

It really takes a while for what he is saying to sink in because it is so beyond the pale. I hope to see outrage from more Dems about this.

as he gets further emboldened to do so.

So those of us who've KNOWN who/what he is aren't surprised. Told em so.

He's pulled his fascist shit in LA, in DC (pulled similar during his first occupation) and the market hasn't crashed, mass protests haven't occurred, the media remains cowered, the justices, complicit, military leaders remain mum, Congress has become accomplices, and mass boycotts and work stoppages hasn't occurred...

i.e. all the things one would THINK would've happened if any FOREIGN enemy tried the same.

So yes, at this point he can say and do whatever the fk he wants.

Adolf would be proud.

in support of Pritzker and Chicago. His statement was pretty good, and I hope other Dems join in.
