I'm glad that Democrats are picking up this narrative. This actually is a simple conflict between good and evil. Those don't exist all that often in real life so it can be hard to believe they're possible, but if putting children in concentration camps doesn't sound evil to you, its cuz you're evil.
McIver: Do you consider yourself a religious man?
Lyons: Yes
McIver: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? Do you think you’re going to hell?

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes.
Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes.
And thousands are CHILDREN.
This will be another of America's greatest shames.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Yeah one mildly comforting thing is that the most incompetent people in history are trying to replicate Nazi Germany, but Germany is roughly half the size of Texas
Look, if they do this, it's bad.
But also, the math doesn't entire math for me. Cook County alone has ~3,000 voting precincts, and some must have multiple polling stations.
There are ~4,000 armed ICE agents in US. More CBP (who are lumped in w this, prob). But even if we get to 20,000 armed ppl?
