I don't know for sure. He's managed to gain control of SCOTUS and the DOJ, which should be leading the parade to kick him out. And then there's the GOP who won't do their duty in Congress and impeach his ass, try him, and expel him from the WH, and deport him to some mosquito-ridden swamp in Uganda.

Sorry, that's a bit extreme. They should be allowed to have tents.

a lot of people are finally waking up to the importance of the 3rd amendment. As a 3A absolutist, i think it should be illegal for soldiers to be quartered anywhere in this country. they should be camping under the open sky at all times. all military bases and barracks are unconstitutional.

Well, some women do have that effect on hopeless men, like at least 3/4 of the Republican men in the House. Can't think, can't talk, walk around with the crotch of their pants pointing forward.

Join the resistance, if you aren't there already. People power will stop this as soon as Trump is either dead or so incapacitated that he can no longer speak.

This is not legal... Despite SCOTUS saying racial profiling is legal. It Is NOT. If it were, Clarence Thomas would be stopped every day on the way to work.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Herr Mueller,
Take off the jack boots and get the swastika on your ass removed, check into the nearest ICE detention center, and watch out for yourself in Gen-Pop. ICE guards like to watch when the others recognize the scumbags who put them there.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

WTF? Are you really that clueless? And if you are, resign from Congress now. Congress people need to be at least partly literate and not sluggish morons who cheat just to get out of High School.

It's time to set term limits on SCOTUS justices and find a fair process to elect them rather than have the President nominate them. Just look at what we got with Trump's picks.
