So, an act of violence and now the Republican government, using manufactured information based on racism and testerical conspiracy theories, is going to take violent ill-considered unconstitutional revenge on people who had nothing to do with it?
It just don't get any more George Bush than that.

Zohran Mamdaniβs Lesson for the Left
The New York City mayoral primary showcased a better kind of politics than progressives are used to.
This is framed as "lessons for the left," but Lander and Mamdani actually offer lessons for the center: Instead of ruthlessly undermining leftist candidates, emphasize shared values and refuse to amplify right-wing attacks.

Again to the point. Inside federal law enforcement ICE has always had a terrible rep. Place for people who can't get jobs at the more legit/disciplined federal policing agencies. High zeal to beat people up, low competence. Will get vastly worse hiring vast numbers under time pressure.

Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.

Pardoning violent thugs who attacked the US Capitol and assaulted cops to subvert an American election is quite fascistic.
No rule of law. No law and order. All that matters is following the Dear Leader, who incited violence with lies. This is a violation of his oath to protect the Constitution.

Constitutionally, President Trump cannot end birthright citizenship. What he can do is give cover for states like Texas and Florida to deny birth certificates and Social Security cards to newborns. He creates the confusion that he then can leverage for his own benefit. "Flood the zone with shit."
