The co-founder of Latinas for Trump is now condemning Trump’s ICE raids:

“This is not what we voted for.”

Ah, imaginary whataboutism, the best whataboutism.
You're asking me about a bad thing that really happened? Well, whatabout a different bad thing that didn't actually happen, something I've imagined? Whatabout that, huh? I'm a victim here.
OK, now that these things are balanced out, let's move on.

Ron Johnson on Ilhan Omar getting attacked: "Let's talk about how crazy this is. Had that been a Republican member of Congress and an illegal immigrant spraying something at them, in Minneapolis what would probably happen is they would release that illegal immigrant."

That wasn't written by Jack Carr BTW. You could find that passage posted up in team rooms and platoon AO's many years ago.
i always understood this as being aspirational. when right wingers talk about guerrillas this way, they're fetishizing primality rather than organization
There's a whole fantasy about insurgents being tougher than us or good at their job:

He admits in this interview that he, and others, lied in the After Action Review following the Bin Laden raid. I've been telling people that they fed lies into the AAR for over ten years people thought I was nuts. Some of those lies were to support books they had planned to write.

They've lost so much of the public's trust and are run by monied interests to the point that there is a need to start over again.
I'm seeing Washington Post reporters post desperately today about the great investigative reporting they do, how valuable it is, etc., thereby implying this is why the paper shouldn't be carved up and killed.
Of course, in doing so, they're demonstrating why the paper must be carved up and killed.

It's beyond tragic that we learned the wrong lessons from history, and twenty years of war. For a lot of these guys, we lost because some liberal pussy wouldn't let them do the whole 'vill.

There's another way to look at this. ICE is doing everything the military manual tells you not to do to civilian populations because it creates insurgencies where none existed before.
