  • Let’s do some fact checking.

    THEY said he was wrongly deported. Repeatedly. And refused to do anything about it.

    Our jackass Attorney General shared a link recently that said he had “no criminal background” and there’s been no actual evidence that shows he was in MS-13.

    And while I’m not sure of his technical, official status, I would say somebody who was allowed to stay in the United States by a judge because of dangers back home, isn’t consider an illegal alien any more, but a political refugee who has asylum in our country.

    You have to wonder if this whole thing is just a petty attempt at retribution by Trump, because this guy was allowed to stay in the country the first time.

    Childish and petty? Or “winning”?

    I feel like a corner piece of the puzzle of MAGA is feeling like some how sending a brown Maryland father to El Salvador makes them feel better about their shitty lives. It’s a superiority thing.

    And some how Trump and Fox News have convinced them that they share in the victories of guys like Mush and Trump enriching themselves.


















  • There were two telling things for me in the coverage.

    First, it was always “thousands” of people at the event. Not tens of thousands like in Boston. Not something on the order of 100,000 or more in NYC (it stretched for 20 BLOCKS). All over the media “thousands” of protesters. Not “millions attend Anti-Trump rallies across US cities” like the National Post wrote.

    The coverage tried to make it sound like this was 1,200 mostly insignificant protests across the country.

    Second, most of the news websites weren’t covering it live. And when it finally made the front page later that day or the next morning, it was 2/3/4 stories down.

    Now … compare that to what happened in South Korea. Yes, a very different ballgame, but it was halfway across the world and ALL of the news media were treating it as breaking news and halting all other coverage.

    That protest had about 1 million people.

    Our protests had about 5,000,000 people across the country.

    It should have been covered as a much bigger deal.
