Okay Homan, let’s detain YOU then? Yeah you can claim to be a US citizen all you want, but how are we supposed to know for sure that you aren’t just an illegal liar who shouldn’t have his position at all?? We better arrest you just to be sure!
BASH: If ICE says it doesn't arrest US citizens, why do we keep seeing incidents of them aggressively pursuing citizens?
HOMAN: I can't tell you how many times an illegal alien claims to be a US citizen. It happens all the time.

In the era of slavery, free black people had to carry their "free papers" with them so they could prove to the authorities that they were free, or else they would be thrown in jail and sold.

This old school style of “polite interviewing” of proven bad faith people with no challenge when they obviously say something false or propagandistic is outdated and the main reason no one takes mainstream media seriously anymore

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.
Either way, never trust them again.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

i think a lot of what's wrong with american politics and media comes down to liberals not realizing that eric schmitt is smarter than george stephanopoulos here and that is not a joke.

That's the thing about anxiety and complex trauma, that maybe you don't understand (if you're lucky). We forget to look up and bump into a person. We get frozen, and someone who doesn't know what we have lived through decides we are deliberately being an asshole.
It costs nothing to be kind.

Iunno, trying to make yourself invisible sounds like the opposite of just standing in a place where people are trying to get by and not noticing what an asshole you're being.
