For almost 2 weeks, Badar Khan Suri was kept in a room without a bed & with TV blaring 21 hrs/day.

He was given used underwear & red uniform "usually reserved" for "high security" detainees.

Not allowed to spend more than 2 hrs/week outside dorm.

His little son has stopped talking in his absence.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

It was beautiful.
