Donald Trump: "They were very strongly involved in all of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs, no arms, a face that's been so badly damaged."

I need this in my life.

The sun rises, the sun falls, the earth freezes, the earth thaws, but one thing remains the same: Ross Douthat will have the most impossibly stupid take on the pressing issue of the day.
gods help me, but I think I'm really coming to enjoy Python.
With all the respect I can muster: you dumbshit.
Yesterday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a press briefing: "One of the individuals we arrested recently in Portland was the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa."
Does anybody *NOT* understand why this is a profoundly ridiculous thing to say? I'm happy to provide clarity, if so.
Could ICE possibly be any more cartoonishly evil than this? What the hell happened to America?
She's at the beginning of a stellar career -- very much looking forward to seeing how far she goes. Just stupendously talented.
