History will see that he manufactured chaos because he had nothing good to offer. No vision. No ideas. Just tearing down what others have built, and blaming them for his shortcomings. Generations will be taught he was nothing but a pathetic failure.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…
There would be bipartisan calls for investigations
Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion
Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day
Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.
