The worst thing Trump said yesterday: A ‘law and order’ president wishes Ghislaine Maxwell well

The worst thing Trump said yesterday: A ‘law and order’ president wishes Ghislaine Maxwell well
President Trump wants America to know he stands for law and order: in Portland, in Chicago, at the border, everywhere. The rule of law is for everyone, he claims, not like in those presidential administrations of the past.
And yesterday, fresh off commuting the sentence of a crony who lied to Congress about his contacts with WikiLeaks and more, he told the nation that he wishes the best to a woman federal law enforcement in his own Justice Department has credibly accused of enabling if not orchestrating a yearslong operation to sexually abuse minors.


Trump sure has a lot of friends that are sex traffickers.

Tensions flared on Capitol Hill this week when a Republican lawmaker challenged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on issues of crime and policing in an unusual — and decidedly personal — confrontation on the Capitol steps...In a brief but heated exchange, which was overheard by a reporter, Yoho told Ocasio-Cortez she was "disgusting" for recently suggesting that poverty and unemployment are driving a spike in crime in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic.
"You are out of your freaking mind," Yoho told her,,,A few steps down, Yoho offered a parting thought to no one in particular.
"Fucking bitch," he said..

Right-Wing Domestic Terrorism Rises By 300%
According to a recent report, deaths attributable to so-called “right-wing domestic terrorists” have increased by more than 300% since President Donald Trump took office in 2017.
A database compiled by the Type Media Center’s David Neiwert and based on government interpretations of ideological motivations showed that at least 87 people were “killed by far-right terrorists” during Trump’s first three years in office. That number swells to 145 dead in three years if the 58 people killed by Stephen Paddock during the Las Vegas massacre in October 2017 are added in.
