Right here, this is the best story out there.

I started following it early yesterday am when a friend texted me that dump announced it on Truth Social.

I saw the stories in the print media, but nothing conveyed the importance of it like this.

I made some phone calls around the country to people I knew were affected by it, but everyone was still in panic mode.

Can he just admit this was a bad idea from the very start and drop the whole damn thing?

If you haven’t seen the Sixty Minutes story about how wildly impractical his deportation scheme is, check out the program by doing a search on it. The program says it is prohibitively expensive.

He also worked in Congress, so he has the necessary experience. And I believe I saw the 60 Minutes report, and here TFG (and Musk) are laying off thousands of essential government workers - yet he's spending millions on unnecessary law enforcement in Los Angeles, let alone his ridiculous military "birthday" parade!!!
