Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

It’s so rad to have such a strong and united opposition party 🤡
9 Democrats just voted with Republicans to censure Rep. Al Green for protesting Donald Trump's speech to Congress.
224-198.
2 voted present.

lmfao so what exactly is the political position being articulated here? what is not Donald Trump and not the "far left"? when you stand for nothing, you don't get cookies for not "bending the knee"
Hakeem Jeffries complains that "the extreme left protest me more than they protest Donald Trump...I think because I've chosen not to bend the knee to either people on the far left and certainly not to Donald Trump and the far right."
