You don't like how you've been treated? Your well-deserved ordeal has only just begun.

Pigs, which everyone loves.
Dogs, which everyone loves.
Cats, which everyone loves.
Parrots, which everyone loves.
Who doesn't love a Rhino?
Even Skunks are loved.
Perhaps these people should be treated as Terrorist Humans.

be nearly as comfortable as their mother's basement.

I hope to god that LE is obtaining warrants and going through these electronic devices with a fine tooth comb.

We need to know which if any politicians/LE might have been helping them to find their way to specific hard-to-find Dem offices, since they seemed to find them with no problems.

Many of these people are disgruntled, resentful people who think they've gotten a raw deal in life and are attracted to a demagogue like Trump who tells them they are right to be angry and their failures in life are someone else's fault.

So they think they've suffered terribly in life. Terribly! Like having their cell phones seized while they sit in jail.
