Came to say the same thing, but glad to see someone else already pointed it out.

Fucking love the protest sign.

And the Lord said, “Tear children from their parents, throw your neighbors out of your nation, and sow terror among those with darker skin than you - later.” 

He’s going to say people self deported because they’re scared of him. Despite no evidence.

This is just straight up abuser tactics. Threaten to do a horrible thing and then call it off and reap the rewards of preventing the horrible things he himself threatened. He’s not being beaten back, we’re not preventing anything, this is all a fucking charade to maintain control. 

And by waiting two weeks, he can tout the upcoming (a few days later) beautiful mass deportations at his July 4 Nuremberg rally address to the nation.

I don’t think this needs pointing out, but here I go: this is all theater ala The Wall.

I am thinking about seeing what Warren’s…

To paraphrase what someone said on Twitter, we should not concern ourselves with performative outrage from people who screech about socialism and make comparisons to Stalin over efforts to clean up coal plant emissions and expand health care access.

Hell yes. This rules. This is how the Democrats should be playing the game. Take notes, Elder Statespeople.

Not that I’m rooting for it to happen, but I want to see how she handles a situation where she messed up or got her facts a bit wrong or something to that effect. That can be very telling, because honestly, no one is perfect. I would like to believe she’d still handle herself with grace in that kind of situation.  So…
