My happy place: Beside a clear stream in the forest with a dry tent and a small fire close by: The best place to clear the mind, cleanse the soul and watch curious forest creatures examine the strange 2-legger who has come to visit. I Block The Annoying.
Hey, wait a minute ... I drove (with a friend) from Vancouver, British Columbia to Phoenix, Arizona in that vehicle - and back again - in 1967 ... stopping only once in a desert somewhere, late at night, wondering why so much smoke was coming from the engine compartment.

Unfortunately, his abhorrent political beliefs are directly connected to his reprehensible personality. It should be obvious to an idiot that he suffers from the mental illness called Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
But in 2025, a mentally ill person is apparently qualified to be President.

It's the "subtly" part that many people miss. If the question is "Are we the bad guys?" (as per the OP) and we answer "Yes you are", that's not "subtle" at all. It's an attack and will likely strengthen resistance.

Narcisstic Personality Disorder is a recognized mental illness. No, this is not an "excuse" for his deranged behavior. But it IS a clear reason why he should be removed from office under the 25th Amendment.
His supporters in congress are effectively endorsing a mentally ill person as president.

Unless you work there you don't know if the State Dept will be an exception. That's the point of asking the question.
Ideologues never ask questions because they think they already "know" the answer. That's how the Trump Regime has been working since Day 1. Do you really want to be one of "them"?😕

Pro Tip: Don't help your opponents by helping them answer a difficult question. Let them explore it, and some will arrive at the correct answer. That's the best way to convert heathens.

The only immigrants the US will attract, for many years to come, are people who are fleeing for their lives. And they will be rejected.

The "person of interest" being questioned about the Brown university shooting has been released and is no longer considered a suspect.
So ... let's wait until charges have been filed and evidence is revealed in this case too.

Oh, I see. Now we must all research and memorize every GOP political response so that we don't inadvertently align ourselves with the GOP? The GOP owns these things now?

Worse, Donald is a certified narcissist. He simply can't tolerate the idea that another person could be more popular and admired than him. With tributes pouring in for the Reiners, he simply couldn't resist the need to argue that HE is more popular and admired.

Yes, it's the right of very adult individual to go through a rudimentary risk assessment. And that includes whether I, or those in my company, are more, or less, at risk of apprehension at the border. Anybody who doesn't do that is an idiot.

They are wisely using "person of interest" to avoid accusations of premature bias. Until all the evidence has been given to a prosecutor and charges are laid, it's the smart thing to do.
