Israel is starving Gaza and shooting into crowds of desperate, hungry people on a daily basis. Children are dying of hunger on a daily basis. It's a moral atrocity and it's all funded by American dollars.

"In exchange for more pollution, Americans will get less economic growth but higher energy costs, the country’s capital stock will be smaller than it would be otherwise, and Americans will work longer hours" -- straight up bonkers
The GOP tax bill will significantly increase US carbon pollution over the next decade. In return, it will increase our dependence on foreign oil, blow up the deficit, raise interest rates, make the country’s energy supply more volatile, and weaken strategic industries: heatmap.news/politics/tru...
The GOP Tax Bill Is a Dangerous Gamble at a Precarious Moment
House Republicans have bet that nothing bad will happen to America’s economic position or energy supply. The evidence suggests that’s a big risk.

This is much the same logic as arresting the judge in WI. There is obviously nothing wrong with asking law enforcement, including masked officials, to confirm they are, in fact, law enforcement. The goal is to create an absolutely subservient population.
