He has Trum-Pwnage
People talk about sick burns and smackdowns and all the rest. But man, Mamdani's biggest flex and power move has always been Trump's docile and friendly-puppy-like behavior in Mamdani's presence. Like EVERY TIME. It's like someone flips an electrode in Trump's brain and puts him into docile mode.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

We continue reaping the whirlwind of our mad reaction to 9/11 and the GWOT.
It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.
A Central African Hotel Has Become a Nightmare Prison for U.S. Deportees
Witnesses say men were hooded and beaten in Equatorial Guinea. The autocratic government there is a partner in President Trump’s deportation program.

No responsible news outlet should go to the White House as long as this ban on their colleagues is in effect. It’s time for big media to show some backbone.
