GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (WKRC) - A man allegedly followed a news reporter for 40 miles to his station, where he attacked and strangled him after accusing him of not being an American citizen.

The Grand Junction Police Department responded to a call of an assault in progress at around 2:20 p.m. on Dec. 18 at the news station for KKCO/KJCT.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Associated Press, the incident began when 39-year-old Patrick Thomas Egan parked beside reporter Ja'Ronn Alex's news vehicle at a stoplight and shouted something similar to:

"Are you even a U.S. citizen? This is Trump's America now! I'm a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!" Egan said, according to The Associated Press.

Egan then followed Alex's news vehicle in his own work car, a taxi cab he drove for Sunshine Rides, according to The Associated Press.

According to police, Egan followed Alex all the way back to the KCCO/KJCT station, which was around 40 miles away from where the initial exchange took place.

Both men arrived to the station at the same time and Egan chased Alex as he attempted to run into the building, police said. Egan allegedly demanded Alex's ID.

Police said that upon refusal Egan tackled Alex and strangled him until Alex's coworkers managed to restrain the attacker.

Police arrested Egan and charged him with bias motivated crimes, second degree assault, and harassment.

This exactly what we cannot have going on but will see a lot more of in the next year and the next four. People thinking they can just go around and harass people, and pick out random people, claim they aren't American citizens, and attack them.

Trump has fucked this country up bad.

This guy probably thinks he will be pardoned by Trump. He's probably right and once Trump pardons this guy and January 6ers, and others espousing the same shit and commiting crimes in his name, it's going to just embolden more guys like this.

This filmmaker made Trump's granddaughter Kai the star, but watch her father, Trump Jr.

At about 7:00, Musk tells Trump, Ted Cruz, and Space Force Commander Gen. Saltzman that the rocket return flopped. At 10:25, Trump Jr. tries to fit in by using the term cost-effective. He talks like an eager beaver freshman, trying to be the equal of the leaders around him.

 
7:38. How long will it take? (Sounds like a boss.) Well there you go. (Sounds confident. "Bryson" is trying to impress.) So what makes them better.

Kai is 17 and her buddy is 16. She made a speech at the Republican convention. I don't usually bother you basketball hounds with my daily space studies.

Then Musk's mother hangs around Musk.
 
It will be the best first day of any presidency. The best first week. The best first month. The best first year. The greatest president in history. Everything he does is perfect. Every few weeks a big tough guy will come to him with tears in his eyes saying oh sir oh sir and thanking him for being magnificent. Statues will be built of him everywhere.

That last sentence, at least, is likely true.

And someday our great-grandkids will finally rebel and tear them all down.

You think they will stay up that long?
 
Tevye, fantasizing If I Was A Rich Man, imagines the most important men in town coming to him for advice, adding "it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong. When you're rich they think you really know". That was comedy.

Paul Krugman writes about the willful ignorance of the rich. Trump, who is stupid, has access to best intelligence in the world but doesn't read anything, saying he just knows. President Musk can buy world's best experts but doesn't trust expertise, preferring to rely on social media posts. He has already shown profound ignorance. And no one can tell them they don't really know because they won't hear it. Policy based on willful ignorance.

In 1964 Lyndon Johnson said if you can convince the lowest white man he is better than the Negro, he will vote for things that hurt him as long as they hurt the Negroes more. The language is archaic but the meaning is still true.
Always has been, always will be. Pick a scapegoat and ride them to victory.
 
I've just figured out the master plan.

Trump will make America great like never before. He will add Greenland and Canada as states. Then Mexico.

Then the US will have 53 states. Which is a prime number.

Then the US will truly be one nation, indivisible...
 
Rachel Maddow always warned look at what they do, not what they say. While attention is distracted by blather about annexing Greenland and changing name of Gulf of Mexico, which won't happen, what they will do, make 2017 tax cuts for the rich permanent, pass another $4 trillion tax cuts for the rich, allocate $100 billion for mass deportation, add trillions to debt and pay for it by cutting social security and Medicare. Also change rules for provisioning; federal government buys all kinds of things big and small from private business. Civil servants expected to steer contracts to business owned by President Musk or large donors and if they think Brand Other is better deal, well, one tweet can unleash death threats against anyone. And a mob that has used violent assault has been pardoned and granted hero status.
 
Republicans released budget proposal. They want to pass using reconciliation, which requires only 50 votes, so it has to be fiscally neutral. To cover cost of $4 trillion tax cuts for the rich and mass deportation, they cut billions from Medicaid, ACA subsidies and SNAP. They will end all Biden climate initiatives, including tax breaks and subsidies for renewables, effectively killing home solar industry. Also shut down infrastructure projects, costing thousands of jobs.

As millions of Americans go hungry and get sicker, as shortages cause prices to skyrocket and unemployment soars, we can be comforted knowing they prevent a transgender congresswoman from using the ladies' room.
