This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

Every retailer in America should display the original price of an item along with the new tariffed price.
Let it sink in for the slowest in the herd.
Tariffs are a tax.
You're paying for them.

Everyone should be concerned about this...I assume magas have checking accounts, too
do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?
