All to say that the Nazi-Americans pushing lies and propaganda on behalf of the Trump administration, don't actually know or understand the Constitution - or Christianity, for that matter.

Benny has long been obsessed with this imagery. He once demanded a co-worker do a photoshoot of him draped in an American flag.

He left the flag on the floor, with zero sense of irony. I folded it with another Eagle Scout.

(also the person he's promoting here is a white supremacist)

Seems to me the least American people in these interactions are the ICE agents and Trump administration ignoring basic American rights.

Got a recent Pulitzer for warning on the spread of autocracy around the globe, after decades of service to the paper? You can bet your butt you're getting laid off by form email, on Yom Kippur

The Post laid off seemingly the remaining of their liberal-leaning staff members on Opinion last Thursday, when some of them were observing Yom Kippur.

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.”

More so than outrage, my bigger emotion in all this is sadness. It just sucks, man. Especially for the very talented people left doing good work in spite of what's going on around them.
