Yep. Good show . And Daughter’s fave city—indeed she is headed there on vacation. You seem to have settled In.

Willing to bet a very large amount that most of that 413% rise in “assaults” on ICE agents represent unarmed people attacking ICE fists with their faces and boots with their kidneys.

Trump Says He Won’t Rule Out Third Reich
