It is important to put a face on the people that were removed from our country without a hearing and not deported, but consigned to a prison with no trial, but all of those in the El Salvador gulag should be given a hearing and the option of being deported to their own country if not the U.S.

If there is a TP shortage, it won't be because of tariffs. We mostly make our own. It will be because people panic. I hoard coffee and chocolate. I would hoard avocados and tomatoes, but that is harder to do...and avocados have already gone up.

Absolutely. If they ARE criminals, let's give them a trial and imprison them here. If they are not, it's a hearing and deportation if appropriate. The unspoken truth is that we need workers. Our native population is aging and declining.

This is scary as hell and should be bigger news. This is a signal that, having divorced the U.S. from Europe, Putin is ready to take on the rest of NATO. Meanwhile, the Russian dictator has whispered in Trump's ear, "Greenland." Is this the setup for WWIII? Are we on the bad guys side?
