I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

People all over the country need to understand that federal agents are not in Chicago to prevent violence – they're in Chicago to cause violence.
