Gas can and shotgun? Those 2 items are pretty large, IMO, and certainly not very subtle. I find this hard to believe. But, stupidity is boundless in this country.

Oh, she knows it. She just doesn't do it. I detest that poor excuse for a human being.

Somebody needs to tell the orange pervert that not charged does not mean exonerated.

So, how's the tourist industry faring? I just bet there are zero Canadians in Florida this year.

GOP lawmakers not willing to bail Trump out on tariffs: report Any hope that Donald Trump may have had that the Republican majority in the House would agree to hand to him their power to enact tariffs after his humiliating 6-3 defeat at the Supreme Court on Frida...

Trump the bank robber who sets off alarm, keeps stuffing cash in bag, then calls his own crew โ€œdisloyalโ€ when they bolt and yell, โ€œEnjoy prison, boss.โ€

6โ€“3 Supreme Court ruling just told Trump his global tariff powerโ€‘grab is illegal without Congress, & House GOP are now sure they like Constitution

She shouldn't even HAVE a relationship with the military. She is incompetent, inexperienced and as far as I can tell really stupid.

Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"

Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants.

Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps.

Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses โ€” and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them โ€” would present safety problems.

This should concern us all. You cannot speak of freedom and liberty and then support this regimeโ€™s actions.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are buildingโ€”and have builtโ€”a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
