And remember, my non-US friends, even if C.B.P. lets you arrive, they, in cahoots with ICE, can nab you for whatever and deport your ass to, say, El Salvador. My advice - wait until this shitshow is over; ain't nothin' worth seein' here now.

when someone is accosted by ICE, why don't we play elephant and swarm the victim with supporters? as each individual supporter is removed, two more take their place thereby creating an ever-increasing cocoon around the victim. given enough citizens, the assaulters are overwhelmed.

Funny how Trump's "spritual advisor" - another sex offender, and white - will only be incarcerated for 6 months on a 10-year sentence. What if he were poor and colored?

Given that The FatFuck has been convicted of this Very Crime, shouldn't HE resign or get fired?

Truth. Why isn't the National Guard locking down St Louis and Memphis? Those cities are totally out of control.

This is just another attempt to distract from Trump's corruption and suppress dissent.
