I'm currently watching a live stream from Milan for the opening ceremony of the 2026 Olympic Games. As delegations arrive, they are greeted by a few people whose identities I currently don't know, who pose for photos with the delegations. I presume they are from the Italian Olympic Committee and/or Italian Government and the International Olympic Committee.
When J.D. and Usha Vance arrived, literally nobody was there to greet them. There was just a backdrop every other delegation posed in front of with the greeters.
Quoting Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane from The Dukes of Hazzard, "I love it. I love it." Everybody from the Trump Regime deserves this treatment, though I have nothing personally against Usha Vance. She just happens to be married to the Bootlicker In Chief.

What, exactly did the far-right think would happen as a result of them putting that jack boot of totalitarian government on the necks of an already heavily marginalized segment of the population? They tried to legislatively write people with a neurological condition, who are already subject to heavy levels of depression from societal rejection and discriminatory laws, out of existence.
The far-right has passed laws restricting restroom use. They have passed laws prohibiting medical care (I wonder when they'll outlaw chemotherapy for minors with cancer). They have outlawed books. They have outlawed any reference to trans people in schools and federal government documents. They have mass-fired trans employees from government positions. They have legislated the use of names and pronouns. Now, someone has snapped. What are they going to legislate next? Are they going to outlaw American Sign Language and Closed Captions, then blame deaf people for ignoring the spoken word?
If so, good. While I don't believe in the existence of Hell, I certainly hope Fuhrer Trump is tortured by the thought of facing justice.
