Why do we need ICE? Furthermore, if we are going to deport these people, why are we trying to build detention centers all over the country to house hundreds of thousands of people who are presumably going to be deported? [4/4]

- If the judicial system interprets the law, why is the enforcement of the law (i.e. the Justice Department) not in the judicial branch of government? - If Congress has the power of the purse, why is the purse (i.e. the Treasury department and the IRS) not in the legislative branch of government?

I predict this will be one of the iconic historical photos of the 21st century: A president who is totally, utterly and completely the center of his own universe.

We seem to be reaching a point where the cumulative, tangible and negative real-world effects of "absolute freedom" are beginning to be felt. The question is, will we recognize this and do something about it in time? [2/2]

Inspired by comments made by Viktor Shvets, questioning America's favorite absolute: Should you (or anyone) have absolute freedom to: - Possess highly lethal and portable weapons? - Accumulate arbitrary amounts of money? - Utter untruths and disperse misinformation? - Pollute the environment? [1/2]

What if the malign intent behind this was to disrupt the fragile, ad hoc equilibrium that the US is clinging to? For Steve Bannon et al to get their dream of burning everything to the ground and starting again? As others have been saying, the Reichstag moment for Trump?
