I be on here just monologuing
Also, is this the worst cat-fish casting of all time? My whole childhood I thought Sam Adams was hot. This and that picture of who is supposed to be him on the beer bottles really just lied.

I'm not sure this will be any comfort to anyone but; Presently as far as what Trump has done, as in not including rhetoric about future plans that may or may not happen, Trump is at worst our second most authoritarian president of all time. He has a long way to go if he intends to top John Adams.

We previously found that the Trump administration knew the vast majority of the 230+ Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador had not been convicted of violent crimes.

Our latest analysis reveals another jarring reality: that most of the men were already moving through the U.S. immigration system.
He Came to the U.S. to Support His Sick Child. He Was Detained. Then He Disappeared.
Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.

A stunning 39% of parents say they can’t afford back-to-school shopping this year.

44% of parents plan to take on debt during back-to-school shopping.

More than 50% of parents plan to sacrifice necessities like groceries to ensure their child has what they need for school.

NEW: Of the 230+ Venezuelans deported to El Salvador:
• Almost half had immigration cases that were not yet decided
• More than 60 had pending asylum claims, some just days away from final hearings

These men had followed U.S. immigration procedures. Then Trump changed the rules.

As President Trump takes a beating from his own MAGA crowd for his handling of the case of Jeffrey Epstein, his State Department pulled a surprising move: It decimated its office combating human trafficking.

The cuts come as Trump reels from MAGA anger over sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

A hacker has revealed the Trump administration illegally deported dozens more people to El Salvador than they reported (originally a number around 200), and those additional people have not been seen or heard from since.

To be sure, both parties have supported ICE in the past.

But Trump has given ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

This isn’t business as usual. This is a fast track to full-blown dictatorship.

You know he's shook because he forgot to say "Obama" funny
REPORTER: Did the attorney general tell you that your name appeared in the Epstein files?

TRUMP: No no. She's given us just a very quick briefing. These files were made up by Comey, Obama, they were made up by the Biden-- we went through years of that with the Russia Russia Russia hoax

Trump is firing immigration judges.

His regime is ending "temporary protected status" for thousands of people here legally.

ICE is arresting asylum seekers at their hearings.

The DOJ is threatening to strip immigrants of their citizenship.

Trump never actually supported "legal immigration."

My European mind cannot understand how their normalization of people getting abducted by unbadged + masked men in unmarked vans isn't perceived as security risk across America.

Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.
