And here I thought Republicans believed in small govt, low taxes and freedom.
They only believe in power and hate.
Not to mention they tell us any raising of taxes on the rich will result in them just moving.
Also Trump's a rapist, a pedophile, and so much more.

Proud to be a Hilton Honors member. The Third Amendment explicitly prohibits forced quartering of soldiers. Though ICE employees lack the training, discipline, and integrity of soldiers, they are still government employees.
“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.
