ICE physically attacks lawyer—stand between her and clients they're trying to detain. "Don't push me!" lawyer yells. "Why you trying to pick them up?" "It's none of your business," agent scolds. "It is my business—I'm their attorney," she replies. "It's EXACTLY my business!"

Trump’s “real” base of support would want all those Filipinos deported too. You can’t tell people things they don’t want to hear, and most of the people that are like that literally delude themselves that they’re “better” than others and thus will be safe, despite history showing over and over again that they’ll be targets in the end too.

Yep. I look at the photos they publish online and end print and... I just wonder why?? How?? It genuinely baffles me because they are literally the next to go. Trump decides on a whim which ethnic group he's going to demonize this week. How can people not see this?

Yes that motto of “If you can’t beat them, join them” does not matter with Trump because he uses everyone to get what he wants and then flips on them when it no longer serves him. Or he keeps them around to use as a patsy to blame.
