David Ellison and the billionaire-funded CBS News are destroying what’s left of real journalism! They just KILLED a massive investigation into the Trump administration’s deportation scandals because they are terrified of the Radical Right! DAVID ELLISON and his father LARRY (a huge Trump donor) bought the network and now they are using it as a personal PR machine for the White House. DISGUSTING!

Why are ya'll surprised that people are anti-immigrant when in the last week alone in LA they ran over an American citizen, collectively beat down a respected Union leader and American citizen, & then were caught repeatedly trying to kidnap children out of schools....oh, wait...wait my bad these are all things ICE fascists have done without a judicial warrant or any due process of law.

So anyway, folks claiming they're "Pro ICE" because they're "Pro American" are racist liars or hella ignorant.

No other US President has been willing to use the presidential power at such maximum level. Others like FDR used legislative power. But Trump only has a slim majority in Congress, what did he do? He tipped the balance of the Supreme Court which in turn made him a de facto king. He plans to fire civil servants and replace them with loyal political appointees. He pressured Republicans in Congress to vote according to his will. And don't forget his abuse of power which led to his impeachment.
Flying across the world would have tired even a president younger than 82. But the point, as he saw it, was that he came. He traveled thousands of miles to highlight a new U.S.-backed railway that could transform the economies of Africa and supply resources for America. He came. He did not have to. He insisted on it and was proud to be the first president to come.

A Weary Biden Heads for the Exit

Still stinging from the election, President Biden is pushing for his final priorities but has absented himself from the national conversation about Donald Trump after warning repeatedly that he was a threat to American democracy.

The New York Times
They voted for abortion rights but still naively or deliberately put Trump and the Republicans in charge. They have no one else to blame.
Maybe I'm being cynical. But sometimes I don't think this nation deserves freedom.
The new generation of conservatives are more radical, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are more right-wing. They prefer conservatism in rhetoric (Conservative populism) over conservatism in substance, and they can be pretty left-wing economically. They typically glorify the idea of masculinity and are against "woke". And their populist nature means they are against neoliberalism and neoconservatism.
These aren't conservatism in substance, these are rhetorical conservatism.
Maybe the Biden Harris administration does not represent the true American value, but it definitely represents the best of American value.
