"Americans already understood Trump to be corrupt, and proved themselves willing to tolerate that," Peter Wehner and Robert P. Beschel Jr. argue. "But now they are coming to believe that he is inept. In American politics, that is an unforgivable sin":

After visiting two more ICE facilities, we have more evidence to confirm that the Trump Administration is:
Overcrowding facilities.
Denying access to medical care and legal counsel.
Creating inhumane confinement conditions.
NONE of it makes us safer.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Go on local TV and radio stations and explain what the GOP tax bill will do.

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?
