Exactly. But at the same time it shows how delicate international diplomacy is and how a Trump administration can fuck up everyting.

From the But, But, But file (or in this case RawStory):"West Frankfort, Illinois, overwhelmingly voted for President Donald Trump last fall, but now some residents are upset after [ICE] arrested and detained a beloved local Mexican restaurant owner ... Juan Carlos Hernandez Pacheco, the owner of the La Fiesta ... While residents in the town said that they were still supportive of the president’s moves to deport undocumented immigrants, they told the [New York] Times that the president should make more exceptions for people like Pacheco, who have not only been exemplary local businessmen, but also pillars of the community who take part in local charity events. 'I think people need to do things the right way, follow the rules and obey the laws, and I firmly believe in that,' local resident Lori Barron told the paper. 'But in the case of Carlos, I think he may have done more for the people here than this place has ever given him. I think it’s absolutely terrible that he could be taken away.'” OUR MEXICAN IS DIFFERENT, DAMN IT!!!https://www.rawstory.com/20...

That's some real Vizzini level reasoning right there. Democrats descrated a Jewish cemetery to make Republicans look bad?

Just when I think this man can't be any more loathsome. This is another place where if he even hints at something like this tonight, the Democrats should all get up as a group and leave.

Yeah. And I know that being a policeman is a really, really tough job. Just wish they could, I don't know, not kill so many people? Of course, I blame the NRA and LaPiere.

Republicans need to be rounded up en masse and forced to take a 6 month course in the meaning of "irony". Because they just don't. Fucking. Get it.

if Molly Irvins is correct that Texas is the laboratory of bad government then Kansas must be the rat that got loose -

Also, too, it might those not paying strict attention to what is going on realize how truly gawdawful these travel limitation policies are for the US.
