Trump having dinner with antisemite Kanye West and neo-nazi/holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, as reported by Axios, is very normal and appropriate for a presidential candidate & former WH occupant. Never was, never will be, a bottom too low to go.

May I say that I’m appreciating this community where not every post is used as a target by the hateful to twist and turn and feed their anger and grievance?

"After the encouraging outcomes of the midterms, the latest twists & turns—including the House GOP’s obsession with prioritizing Hunter Biden & his laptop—offer fresh reason to doubt we can ever turn our total focus to making life better.

"Just when signs of light appear, the malignant ones find a way to wrest back the darkness and force more unnecessary struggle. As Michael Corleone said in The Godfather, Part III, 'Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.'” https://america.substack.com/p/jack-smith-takes-over
