AltNPS thought the real terror and suffering of people being targeted by ICE just wasn't juicy enough, so they decided to punch things up a little.

So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

If you think Trump's bad polling doesn't matter, I hope you reconsider after tonight's elections. Maybe his unpopularity doesn't affect *his* behavior, but it definitely impacts tons of other people—including many GOP voters who are either switching sides or staying home.
