Explain to me how ICE agents decimating restaurants in the local Pittsburgh area is “good for this country.”

What happened at Emiliano’s Mexican Restaurant & Bar this week was downright disgusting.

16 hard working individuals violently ripped from the restaurant during business hours.

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

Ichiro Suzuki's number retirement ceremony in Seattle is really touching. He was a quiet unassuming man in his late twenties when he first came over. It means so much that over the years he has become a beloved member of the Mariners family and still has a huge presence with organization. #Ichiro

The CEO of a multi-trillion-dollar company walked into the White House, handed the president a gold gift, and soon after, his company got a special exemption from tariffs the president illegally imposed.
The Founders took bribery so seriously, they banned it three separate times in the Constitution.

This is the wealthiest nation in history.

Instead of making sure everyone has food, shelter, & healthcare, WE ARE FLYING A CHILD RAPIST WHO WE PAY TO HIS GOLF COURSE WITH A COTERIE OF BODYGUARDS WHO WE ALSO PAY.
And we let him take bribes.

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

The Dictator Augusto Pinochet is almost eighty-three years old, and justifying his actions, clarifying his place in history, is on his mind.

“I was only an aspirante dictator,” Augusto Pinochet told Jon Lee Anderson in 1998. “I read a lot, especially history. And history teaches you that dictators never end up well.”

@crockett.house.gov: "They pledge their fealty to some idiot who's obviously struggling mentally. Whether it's mental decline or whether he's ever had the capacity, they decided they're going to do whatever he wants them to do.. I never thought I'd see the day that a Texan would bow down to a NYer."
