Donald Trump’s ICE regime is treating U.S. citizens like animals. Two American teens were on their way to enlist in the Marines and serve their country, only to have their basic human rights completely violated in the worst ways possible. They were pepper sprayed, physically assaulted, and detained for 8 hours for the “crime” of filming ICE agents as they detained parents outside of an elementary school. The teens repeatedly told the agents they were citizens, the response was “I don’t give a damn.”
After such a traumatizing experience, both teens are rethinking their decision to enlist. One of their mothers put it bluntly: “How are they supposed to serve a country that doesn’t even uphold their basic rights?” America just lost two future marines thanks to ICE, and our country is worse off because of it.
People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

What kind of heartless and despicably vile monsters would make people eat food with maggots?
Answer: the CEOs that run GEO Group and CoreCivic & every single elected Republican.
Not one of them has spoken out about this!
#ShutdownDelaneyHall & all of the other torture mills across the country.
Trump promised to target violent felons. At Delaney Hall, Jeffries found small business owners, parents, pregnant women, US citizens and kids. He lied to the American people. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

For more than nine years, DREAMers have watched courts and politicians debate whether they’ll be allowed to stay in the only country many of them have ever known. It’s long past time for Congress to act and give them the protection and certainty they deserve.

“We both live in red states, and we are both relatively politically conservative…Knowing this, the average American may assume that we are pro-gun, and that is true. We are pro-gun, and we are also pro-gun-safety.”

The instrumentalization of the tragedy of Jews who suffered, were humiliated, marked with a yellow star, isolated in ghettos & murdered during the Holocaust, in a debate on different systems that aim at protecting public health is a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decline.
“Let’s be clear, there’s not been a better opportunity for the Republican party to divorce itself from the conspiracy theorists and the kooks than this impeachment trial coming forward.” --@MargaretHoover
"This is disgraceful. There have been two Big Lies this year. One obviously about the election but the other Big Lie...was the lie that this virus wasn't severe & it was a hoax, masks don’t work. She’s been silent through this. And silence is complicity." @JReinerMD on Dr. Birx.
