📌This is from Jeff Bezos' pro-Trump editorial board at WaPo tonight.
It's absurd.
Trump has taken Putin's side in damn near everything, while castigating a NATO alliance that has stood against Putin in damn near everything.
There will be no deals that aren't good for Putin first, and Trump second.

Maybe when Dems control it all, they make a rule saying you have to work 200+ days/year or the party in control is fined $5000/day not worked AND the Speaker must do time equal to the missed days & do it in COUNTY, NOT Club Fed.

This isn't "new" Why does no one remember Silverio Villegas Gonzalez who was gunned down on the street at 8 am in Franklin Park, IL in September?
SHUT IT DOWN…👇
Now ICE agents are shooting at moving vehicles!
Injuring two UNARMED immigrants on Christmas Eve, whose only "crime" was a failure to stop when asked. ICE didn't know if the people they shot were citizens or not until AFTER the fact.
ICE is out of control, making us all less safe.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
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.

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches:

Classic misdirection. Flood the zone. Miss deadlines. Redact everything. Pull files without explanation. Add disclaimers about “untrue claims.” Mostly old info. Vanishing files. Victims retraumatized. No accountability.
