"These polls are bad for Trump! We need to do something to get people to think I'm not bad!"
"Getting rid of Bovino will show the media we're deescalating, sir"
"Yah! Then arrest that woke CNN Lemon guy!"
"For what, sir?"
"I dunno! Just arrest him! Show Trump is tough!"
"Right away, sir!"

Trump's arrest of Don Lemon shows that his "pivot" is an utter farce. As legal experts tell me, this looks appallingly corrupt. Indeed, it's likely this is all about sending a message that Trump isn't deescalating in the slightest.

Trump’s ICE Agents Arrested Don Lemon. Then the Story Got Even Darker.
Trump has been raging about the former CNN journalist. Attorney General Pam Bondi just had him arrested, a move one legal expert slammed as “highly irregular.”

We really need to be doing more to, uh, “contribute to the increase of retail shrinkage.”
Here’s the thing about self checkout. Companies have determined that it is more cost effective to take the loss from theft that automation eases than it is to pay people to work in their stores. When one puts it like that, the quality of the tech or the apparent convenience* are beside the point.+

Even the Reagan Administration was smart enough not to talk about the Iran-Contra slush fund in public.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

ICE should try that in the Chinese or Saudi consulates.
Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture.
This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.
