It's incredible what you can do when you just say words and don't believe they actually mean anything. I would wonder how these assholes sleep at night, but the simple answer is that they're sociopaths.

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq.
“If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.”
National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.
A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?

They have never been interested in a ceasefire. They are interested in destroying Ukraine
On Kremlin TV, Putin intimate Solov'yov says Russia so encouraged by Trump taking their side no longer see need for ceasefire.
"No, there won’t be any ceasefire. Our idea of peace is everything happening as we see fit”
Then plays a clip of Vance slamming Ukraine.
Vance is "our man" he says.
