Quoting Cromwell:

"You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go."

This diagram is in Polish, but fairly easy to understand.

The upper section is U.S. assistance for Ukraine during the Biden and Trump admin

The lower is russian drone and missile attacks during the same time frame

If reading these letters doesn’t fill you with a deep and urgent need to burn these concentration camps to the ground after releasing their prisoners, you would’ve been on the wrong side in WWII.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

"we shrank the labor pool by kidnapping a huge number of people and carting them off to concentration camps" is a hell of a line to take.
Hassett: "There's a pretty big decline in the labor force because of illegals leaving the country, so the break even job number is quite a bit lower than it was under Joe Biden. So you should expect slightly smaller job numbers."

We should do a switcheroo: release the currently detained, send ICE & CBP goons to the death camps.

I mean, subjecting children to TB, COVID, &c is clearly immoral and untenable ... but ICE & CBP goons? Why not?
Local racists may think diseases are confined to detainees, but concentration camps are perfect environments for spreading a mixed stew of infections — including to guards and staff who then spread the germs to the surrounding communities. Yet another reason to close the camps.
Tuberculosis is flourishing in ICE prisons across the country, including in the Anchorage Correctional Complex, Adelanto ICE Processing Center, Eloy Detention Center, Denver Contract Detention Facility, and the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma.

It's staggering how this political eunuch has not just done nothing at all as Speaker of the House, but has actually worked to prevent his colleagues from doing anything at all as well.

For all the right's fetishization of "originalism," this is a development that would've made the founders weep
Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday he is moving forward with a plan to revive a prohibition on House votes to overturn President Donald Trump’s global tariffs.
