Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

The only discussion we should be hearing on any of the Sunday morning news shows is what should be done about the President's obvious mental decline,erratic behavior and Epstein files inclusion.
That's it.

I like a simple platform that puts republicans on the defense. This may not be perfect but it’s a great start. I broke it into 2 videos to fit the three minute limit. The second part will be below in the first comment

And they took the family groceries to boot. I keep hoping that each & every person who is participating as ICE officers has their identity revealed. May their families be embarrassed & ashamed of their actions. May their children be horrified to have a parent who willingly did this.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

If someone voted for Trump, if they supported this, they should forever be shunned. No exceptions.

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.
If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

ICE is on Alert. They have been tipped off about a foreigner who will enter the country in the next few days. He is believed to be from the North Pole and driving a vehicle which is unlicensed and has an expired registration. He will probably be arrested, violently. What’s more he is a socialist.

This struck me too. As Anne Applebaum doesn’t mention, she wrote a classic history of the Gulag.
The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

The way our current press works is: GOP are given unlimited credulity. Every statement they make is seen as truth and the Dems need to address it.
While Dems are given none of that.

Just within the past hour, nearly a dozen YouTube accounts have posted the pulled 60 Minutes CECOT story. CBS and Google can keep trying to take them all down, but it's sort of pointless now.
