George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.

So… it’s not a war and we’re just killing people. Got it.
Trump: "It's not only land strikes on Venezuela. It's land strikes on horrible people that are bringing in drugs and killing our people. If we were in a war and we lost 300,000 in a year -- that's what the real number is ... it would be a war that's unparalleled."

When my 44 YO husband had a stroke, we called 9-1-1 & ambulance took him to the *nearest* hospital. Then I had to fight my insurance company for a ‘network gap exception’ to pay bc the ambulance company wasn’t in-network, & insurance couldn’t provide a list of in-network neurologists they’d pay for.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:

Trump seemingly hates and distrusts his sons, but loves Ivanka and This Guy. It’s absurdly corrupt to have him anywhere near these things. I guess the lesson learned in Trump 1 is that Jared is an asset— but an asset who needs his hands untethered to any kind of official accountability.

What Trump thinks of as “The Economy” is comprised of his personal holdings and the holdings of those within his earshot… and then there’s the comparatively microscopic amount of money the rest of us have to spend and what goods & services it can purchase, which is apparently a hoax— against HIM.
