A couple of things stand out...  Trump autographing "assassination attempt" trading cards for kids at the annual Easter Egg Hunt  Trump autographing "assassination attempt" cards and Kristi Noem having her purse containing $3000 in cash, stolen.  Imagine if an hispanic looking person is found to have $3000 cash in their possession... it would be as solid ground to send them to El Salvador as any of the other excuses they have used to kidnap and send the other people there.

I will post more "news" in the comments section if anyone is interested in keeping abreast of the unfolding horror show and the new and creative ways they are finding to immiserate the vulnerable.

As usual, the Trumpian horror show continues apace and there is endless commentary on the disaster.  Today, I am putting a different angle and talking about the fake "Christian" rot at the root of the campaign of terror that targets the vulnerable; those who emphaticically reject empathy, compassion and kindness.  Such a contradiction is worthy of mention on the day that people celebrate the Resurrection.  Peace, NB
