I feel very divided on this issue. We shouldn’t have to complete the President’s sentences for him to make him I also don’t want to exaggerate what he says and deliberately make stuff up.

You have to fill in the majority of his arguments. Because he’s repetitive and he makes the same ones so frequently that you can fill them in. People do. And reporters do to “be fair” to him. But that’s bullshit. We shouldn’t have to make his arguments for him.

It’s also that he was saying “let them attack La” and then because he’s old and is distractable and incoherent. He did not say the part about “then you will see why it was critical that we would make sure that they can not have nuclear weapons”. This is a constant issue with him and more so now.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

2/ Federal agents have detained at least 70 children and teens who are American citizens. Some were handcuffed or zip-tied. In one instance, a 15-year-old with disabilities was handcuffed outside a school in Los Angeles when agents mistook him for an alleged gang member.

3/ 100+ Americans have been held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all of them were people of color. They say they were profiled — detained because of their skin color, accents or jobs. “ICE isn’t looking for criminals. They’re looking for Latinos,” one said.

Trump is incoherent as usual, but if you pay attention, he’s not saying losing LA or San Diego would be the “small price to pay”. He’s contrasting their potential loss with the higher cost of fuel.

I think part of the reason for the widespread misinterpretation of what he is trying to say in a garbled way here (that increased prices are worth it for avoiding harms like a city being taken out) is due to the crowd reaction. There were cheers when he spoke about taking out a city.

I agree with this - it sounded to me like Trump is running two thoughts in parallel at the same time: 1. The war itself is a small price to pay to keep the world safe. 2. He's saying watch what happens if they took out a major US city if he were to fail in his quest

The Fake News New York Times "reported" on my Great, PACKED Rally in Ohio that, "the place was not full. Some upper sections were almost completely empty." In actuality, thousands of people were unable to get in.
The Arena was totally MAXED OUT, including all upper sections. What does happen at all of my SOLD OUT Rallies, is that the people in the upper sections tend to migrate down to the Main Floor - The "migration" process always happens! The Times knows this, and so does everyone else. I never have empty seats — Never have, and never will! Because of their dishonesty, I have cinematographers shooting the various Arenas where I speak, in that some of the Fake News likes to dishonestly report lies and untruths. In actuality, my Events for very good Republican Politicians are probably more crowded than ever. There are no empty seats, there haven't been for years, and there never will be. The Rallies areFriends just out of picture

This is insane.
In December, Dr. Rachel received a letter from the attorney general's Consumer Protection Division demanding her vaccine purchase records over the past 10 years. "The division believes that you are in possession, custody or control" of material, "involving potential misleading or deceptive acts regarding incentives associated with the administration of childhood vaccines," it said, adding that such acts could be in violation of the state's deceptive trade practices law.

“This group wants you and other Haitians who have come to Springfield to know that you are a blessing, not a burden to our community,” Pastor Ruby said. "You are a part of our community, and we do not want you to be ripped away.”
Some in attendance at the funeral might not have known Damas Bel, Ruby said, but wanted to show support for his family and the Haitian community in Springfield. 

“This group wants you and other Haitians who have come to Springfield to know that you are a blessing, not a burden to our community,” Ruby said. 

“You have made our city better. You have not made it worse. This group wants you to know that you are not guests in Springfield. … You are a part of our community, and we do not want you to be ripped away.”

1. This is a betrayal of one’s duty and the rule of law. 2. This is a betrayal of the victims of Trump’s lawbreaking. 3. Seems pretty foolish to think a new ethics law saying don’t break the new law and we’ll look the other way on all the other laws broken will work.
Asked directly on NBC News' "Meet the Press" whether Democrats should take up impeachment in January if they take the House gavel, Emanuel said:
"Short answer: No, because it's not going anywhere, and it's going to be a food fight, and it's just going to be we return to the politics of fighting."
