The more I see of the way Trump treats people, mocks them, insults them, ridicule them, I find myself hoping he suffers a massive indignity that his allies can' tignore. I'm not proud of thinking that way, but I can't help myself.

I laugh at the thought of an ICE agent appearing in a congressional hearing. They might even make Trump appear smart . . . well almost.

Many are claiming that Miller is calling the shots, but I disagee. Trump is just too lazy to do his own dirty work. Miller loves the dirty work, that's what he does, but he also knows how to stay on Trump's good side.

Which do you think the public will receive first: a( the Epstein files or b) an honest report on the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretto?

Trump has adopted his platinum and cold card program where someone can biu fast-track citizenship, $1 million for a gold card and $3 million for platinum. That isn't going to help, U.S. farmers, it's just going to crowd the fat-cat corporate world.

Has anyone considered how many good people, ones capable of innovation or simply imbued by a solid worth ethic we have allowed to be deported, despite being legal immigrants.

I'm surprised that Kyle Rittenhouse wasn't brought in to analyze the operationl. Trump has an uncanny ability to rely on the worst possibe people.

We're possibly getting change ICE's approach to immigration control, but it's taken the lives of two good people to prompt the change. Minneapolis was remarkably restrained until Noem tried to cover up the deaths with lies.

The best news Super Bowl goers have possibly heard is that Trump will not attend. When a president tends a major event it causes so many inconveniences for the fans. Look what happened at the U.S. Tennis Open Championship, chaos.

Just read where spokesperson Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Walz and Biden. Granted, it took two deaths by ICE's hands for Trump to at least sort of admit he made a mistake, so who cares what a shallow spoiled brat thinks?

Damn, I almost forgot. I also can't stand Scott Bessent. No one is further from reality in Trump's world. He thinks arrogance passes for intelligence

Someone tell Michael Johnson that it's time to find something new to distract from the Epstein files. Daddy Don is counting on him.

Maybe JD Vance might want to come back to Minnesota and try again to convince everyone he knew what he was talking about in his recent visit.

You missed the final call Tom Emmer. You didn't have the courage to stick up for your state and I hope you are not only voted out office, I hope they kick your ass out of the state.

Two deaths later, Trump's thugs are about to leave Minnesota, and what the hell did they accomplish, not a damn thing. They just caused many people a lot of grief. It took a massive protest and local, regional and national outrage to chase them.

Politics amaze me. Trump has said the most horrid things about Walz and suddenly he can have a "productive" conversation with Minnesota's governor. I realize Walz can't cut off his nose to save his face, but . . . well, as I said, politics amaze me.

Any MAGA member worth his or her dentures should break from Trump immediately.

Trump has bombed Iran, bombed Venezuelan boats killing at least a couple dozen, threatened to seize Greenland by force, seen his ICE troops kill two people and he gleefully accepted Machado's Nobel Peace Prize.

Noem, Patel and Bessent say you don't bring a gun to a protest, but I think the death penalty for doing so, even though it's legal, is subject to the death penalty.

Oh, Wow, Tom Homan is going to Minneapolis to investigate what everyone has witnessed. I'm sure if the situation were reversed and Jack Smith were sent to investigate, the GOP would be agreeable.

Emmer remains AWOL in response to shooting. He figures he has a chance of being re-elected if he avoids supporting either side, though he did give "brave ICE agents" earlier this month.

Donald Trump is responsible for creating the monster that is, approved of an abbreviatated training program and sent wreckless agents into the field with no clue about crowd control. It' on Trump and Noem and Bondi.

Coward Tom Emmer remained silent about ICE's shooting of Alex Emmer. Earlier this month he commended ICE agents who so bravely go about their immigration crackdown. If he gets elected again, it will be a miracle and Trump will lose a major bootlicker.

Millions are protesting about something that didn't happen in their states, that has to tell you how incredibly wrong and unhinged ICE and its advocates are.
