I hate how the term "Godwin's Law" has been altered to mean "the first person to mention Hitler in an argument is automatically the loser." That's not what it means.

As Greg Sargent reports, Trump chose to pour out hate yesterday in Pennsylvania, as he pointed to the community of Charleroi, claiming Haitians have taken it over and are taking jobs from locals.
Charleroi Charleroi Borough Manager Joe Manning responds:
“There’s what the former president is saying, and then there’s easily observable reality.”

What about the Trump Sentencing ?
Is he going to Jail ?
Is the Judge going to cave ?
Is he going to be treated as a Criminal ?
Is he going to get "Special" treatment ?
This guy is a Sociopath/Traitor/Grifter
Get his Money
Then Jail him -

@Arqtec Hard to say what's going to happen, but I suspect a whole lot of us are hoping to see justice done in his case, at long last.

Andrew Whitehead notes that his research confirms Sam Perry's recent statement that "the most common finding in the 'Christian nationalism' research is the strong link between xenophobia and Christian nationalism."
"Almost half (49%) of 'adherents' of Christian nationalism rank immigration as the most important factor in who they’ll support at the ballot box.
And these folks have clear views of immigrants."

"Adherents of Christian nationalism are more likely to believe 'the American way of life needs to be protected from foreign influence' and 'immigrants are invading our country and replacing our cultural and ethnic background' and disagree that 'the growing number of newcomers from other countries strengthens American society.'”
White Christians have been driving the Trump train all along, to their shame, and the engine is powered by xenophobia.

"Well before Trump seized control, Republicans had sealed themselves in a worldview that doesn’t fit 21st-century Americans or the modern world. It’s a political cul-de-sac from which deceit offers the only escape.
Republicans champion the grievances and resentments of a shrinking white Christian minority as the nation grows steadily more diverse."

"If the problem of unauthorized immigrants were such a scourge in the United States, in terms of crime, adverse economic impact and so on, Trump, Vance and their ilk wouldn't need to make up stories to prove their point. But Vance, like Trump, isn't lying about Springfield to expose a larger truth about immigration."

"He's exposing a larger truth about himself, that he's willing to fabricate and falsify in service of the most sinister motives. Namely, to foment the kind of hatred necessary to make people comfortable with their government committing terrible acts against groups Vance is doing everything in his power to dehumanize, including children."

I’ll interject. The larger exposed truth is that of humans being embarrassingly susceptible to absurd suggestion. We’re not merely a nation, but an entire goddam species, made up of about one thurd shitferbrains. That’s about the population fraction our “konstytooshin” grants half the political power. Bleak is the reasonable outlook. #uspol

@SuiteOfResponses You couldn't be more right — and yet, I think we have to cling to hope and keep working accordingly.
