We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals.

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back!
This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

Elon lives in a bizarre mental universe that’s like a mashup of Robert Heinlein’s masturbatory juvenalia and Hugh Hefner’s vision board ca. 1971. The dude has completely lost touch with anything a normal person might consider “reality.” No wonder he’s acting like such a weirdo maniac.
