Reminder: "Deport US citizens" is an oxymoron. It's not a thing. At all. You don't deport citizens from the country of which they are citizens.

Turns out that having business types come in and "run government run more like a business" just means wealthy people grabbing power to line their own pockets. Who knew?

What if this isn't about our feelings about resisting Trump? What if it's about the practical consequences and thinking ahead by a step or two?

When I think about who bears the blame for this shitstorm, I keep coming back to Trump and the Republicans as the answer. Can't quite figure the logic of blaming Democrats.
