Donald Trump is playing people, fishing for praise. He's such a phony.

Disgusting that these arrests & incarcerations in concentration camps are so brutal. Outrageous they are done at all, but..
They don't just tell an unresisting person you are under arrest, put your hands behind your back. Always the brutal takedown with 4 burly men piling on, doing serious damage.

Judge needs to jail DHS agents

Americans want leaders who will stand up to Trump with tough, intelligent, pro-democracy clarity — in contrast to Trump’s adolescent neofascist belligerence.

Qatar is a close ally of China and the two have recently entered into what has been described as a "Golden Era" of strategic partnership. Putting Qatari military facilities inside the United States is akin to stationing Chinese troops.

This is like a thank-you from Pauly Shore, after Rob Schneider consoled him by saying the Academy Awards had lost credibility for not giving either of them a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.
