There are millions of people who don't feel alive unless they are actively hurting other people. That's the world we live in.
What really sucks is that ICE is packed with such people and is led by a sociopath.
This isn't about protecting our country. It's about bullies getting their rocks off.

Democratic congressman says Trump’s moving forward without Congress is an impeachable offense:
This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
