The problem, of course, is that one of our two political parties has organized itself around a world of “alternative facts” in which the meaning of words and independently-verifiable evidence are irrelevant. If J6 can be a “day of love,” then lots of swearing at Bovino can be an Insurrection.
The Insurrection Act does require an actual insurrection. The violence in Minneapolis is almost exclusively one-sided. People yelling at you, calling you names, and recording you on a cell phone isn’t violence. And if the courts let Trump say it is, we’re in a lot of trouble.

Pedophilia, extreme corruption, and rampant incompetence doesn't even dent Trump's hardcore MAGA support. The only way they'd ever turn from him is if he said "Treat immigrants and minorities with respect."

I find it a little unfair, honestly, that I didn’t get to call Trump a pedo protector to his face. That should’ve been me.

Mike Johnson: "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do"
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country
ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs."

Southpaw is right. Before federalization of immigration controls beginning in 1875, international + interstate migration was controlled by states. Article is gated, email me at my Brooklyn College email if you want a copy. Also in Chapt 3 of my forthcoming book, see link in my bio.
