He wants to annex Greenland so he can rename it Trumpland.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas. Remember: these are people who entered the country legally. Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

This is going to be epic.

Pretty sure he's on the side of bigotry

I am hearing Bari Weiss pulled this story because she didn't want to embarrass the president.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

I can easily remember that "center on" is correct and "center around" is incorrect, because the latter makes no sense. And "based off" is simply odious, surpassed in odiousness only by "based off of." And we needn't speak of "on accident."
