It's funny, I bet a lot of Americans still think the government protects them against being captured against their will if they've done nothing wrong. ICE should be showing you on a large scale that's not true, & people who've been involuntarily committed, literally forced into a psych ward, know.

I don't seem to remember Trump bombing the Sackler Family when they were suspected of illegally flooding the country with opioids.
His administration shielded them from having to pay restitution.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.
You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.
It says it right in the Constitution.

He says he, quote, " inherited the worst inflation in history " I'm guessing he must have forgotten about 1979-1980 when inflation was running over 13% during the Carter administration. Anybody that listens to the claptrap that comes from that man and then votes for him is deserving of the pain

I will repeat for the people at the back, Venezuela is one of lowest producers of drugs in South America.
But it has the largest oil reserves in the world, enough to supply the USA for 50 years.

Drug trafficking is not an act of war. This whole idea that these boats can kill millions of Americans is fantasy land. It's based on a fake statistic about fentanyl. And they're not going to the US and they're not carrying fentanyl.
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.
