I think the word you're looking for is, "catastrophe".

There's a type of person who seeks and targets people like us. I wish someone had taught me that when I was a child.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Crockett: This is a person that has a problem with people of color. When we look at who he says are low IQ, even though when you look at his cabinet—this has to be the most incompetent cabinet we have ever had in the history of this country.

The only part of this statement I'd dispute is the word "almost".

If he's somehow allowed to run again, there's only one suitable candidate to run against him: BARACK OBAMA.

I'll donate to any drive to send Kristi Noem to the moon. And I'll double it for any project that aims to guarantee she does not come back from the moon.

So was his boss.

Just doing my job, ma'am.

I hadn't noticed that. I should try.

Nope. Anyone can see these guys aren't law enforcement of any sort. Most of the "ICE agents" the media serves us up are just vigilantes.

Your post brought back my own wistful memories of my mom reading me AA Milne on the staircase:

Halfway up the stairs is the stair where I sit
There isn't any other stair quite like it
It's not a the bottom
It isn't at the top
So halfway up the stairs is where I always stop

Dude was so honest senators and robber-barons swore aloud when he was shoved into the presidency.
