All these years later, right wing militias are back and the right says the dead at Murrah were actors.
"Even elements of the radical right, McVeigh’s fellow travelers, were stunned by the sight of firefighters pulling dead babies out of the wreckage. Before the bombing, they had been full of heady talk of war against the government, but many of them imagined this would involve an attack on federal judges who had displeased the movement, or blowing up a building at night."

Hate is the name of Trump's game.
SCOTUS should be ashamed.

"...not everybody got the idea. Eric Trump tweeted, 'I wouldn’t want to be the last country that tries to negotiate a trade deal with @realDonaldTrump. The first to negotiate will win - the last will absolutely lose.
Eric’s father apparently didn’t get the memo either. Asked by reporters whether he planned to negotiate the tariff rates, the president said, 'The tariffs give us great power to negotiate. They always have.' ”

This is what happens when so-called law enforcement is given a consequence free hand and is even able to twist the definition of words to meet arrest quotas.
One of the words being used by ICE is detention. The actual word is imprison- what you call it when you take someone shackled wrists and ankles with chains and put them in a locked cell.
In any case, look for Becky Burke's graphic novel about the experience.

I was wondering what happened to Kari Lake as Trump seems to have appointed his fools to higher positions than he did her.

Have you read the Sharp novels by Bernard Cornwell? His journey with Sharp through the colonization of India and through the Napoleonic War is detailed and well written historical fiction.

I haven't read that Trump has actually paid anything to anyone. The only news stories have been about Giuliani coughing up ( Oog!) what he was ordered to pay to the two Georgia election workers that he slandered. I'd appreciate any link to a news story that said Trump paid out what he was ordered.
@FinchHaven @GottaLaff
He did have to appear in court a few times, but nothing ever came of that, did it?
"... illegal immigrants don’t receive Social Security benefits, because they don’t have valid Social Security numbers. But that’s almost trivial compared with Musk’s open endorsement of the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, according to which liberals are deliberately luring nonwhite immigrants to America to tilt the electorate in their favor. This is the conspiracy theory that inspired torch-carrying marchers in Charlottesville to chant 'Jews will not replace us.' ”
