Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama)

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics
Should we deport people who have lived here for many years without committing any crimes? 61% no, 24% yes.
Should we should deport people as quickly as possible even if it means more mistakes, or do our best to make no mistakes even if it takes longer?
Quickly: 19%
Minimize mistakes: 74%

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.
