On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house. It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

Roughly 50% of the reason I became a Republican was I genuinely believe our national debt is an emergency and a national security risk. But after living some life it is clear to me that Republicans only talk about lowering the debt, they don’t actually do it.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury. No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty. You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse. Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?
