Does this bother anyone else? Rounding up people without evidence and shipping them off to a torture prison is NOT a tool in Trump's toolbox. Where are the advocates?

I can't watch T talking around the Canadian PM like the man isn't sitting right next to him. T has no social skills. And someone tell Vance to close his legs and sit like a civilized man.

Watching LGBTQ conservatives grooving to the iconic gay anthem "Y.M.C.A." today at the Michigan Lie-Fest cracked me up. Yes, I know the song long ago transcended that stop on its way to cultural award-winning brilliance, but it still makes me giggle.

A seemingly innocuous NJ man (judging by his profile) just posted on FB that the Rio Grande needs hundreds of alligators swarming in it so no one would try crossing it...and 2.6k people agreed with him. It amazes me how few people truly understand why people make the hazardous trip to the border.

So ICE shows up and tells US citizens they must leave the country regardless of citizenship. WHERE are they supposed to go?? What happens to their personal property? Homes? Cars? Pets? Are they still required to pay taxes? What about their retirement savings? What if they are disabled?

Can't decide if Musk is co-prez, or Elonia, the real first lady. Regardless, Musk is a soft target. So many despise him it takes the heat off Mr T. I keep wondering if he'll go the way of Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Guy and eventually be hung out to dry.

I've developed a permanent stomach ache from listening to individual stories about deportation without due process. It could take years for the known cases to go through the courts and some individual cases will never make it into the system at all. The word "languish" weighs heavily.

James Malone's recent win in an always red area of PA underscores my own thinking that going back to Square 1, winning over small areas until the circle of influence becomes large enough to put pressure on the Fed Govt can work. AOC has a similar thought. Get involved in your community govt.
