I'd like to see a a press conference:

"Question for JD Vance - can you look at your Indian wife and children and then say a guy posting 'Normalize Indian hate' is not a 'bad dude'"?






Follow-up: "How is Elez both a child who shouldn't be held responsible for his actions from as recently as 2 months ago, but also the right person to be trusted with extensive access to government systems?"

Also fun how Trump has no problem saying that pro-palestine protestors should be deported (a vastly more harmful outcome than losing a job).

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

The doge boys are in-group, so they are protected, and the law will not be brought to bear against them. Simple as that.


Who are you quoting?

Frank Wilhoit, but not necessarily the Frank Wilhoit you might think when told it's Frank Wilhoit.

Trump didn’t say that though.

He said pro-Palestinian protesters that are here on visa and who were arrested, committing crimes should be sent back.

Big difference from what you wrote. Perhaps you only read the headline.


“To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you. I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before,” Trump said.

Funny, I don't see those extra qualifiers in there.


Nice selective quote paraphrasing, but this was in the context they were already arrested.

No journalist is going to ask him this because they’re afraid of retribution and a loss of access. If they do he’s going to deflect - nobody will press him on a genuinely galling statement of values.

That would require someone to do journalism.
