I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of faux outrage on the right when Trump dies even though they happily celebrate the death of people on the left and even though they will be just as glad as everyone else when this prick is finally gone. But any legitimate point they have about the wrongness of celebrating a death will be undercut by Melania when she dusts off that “I really don’t care, do you?” jacket ---

Ugh is right. I am domestic-travel status and have already delayed nonessential short-trip air travel pending seeing how things proceed (meaning, I’m not taking any 2 or 3 day event/meeting hop-overs if I’m going to be spending more time in the airport lines than in flight on the travel days). Landing INTO the US your son would probably just be dealing with CBP as ever, though likely be even pricklier than usual because of their _own_ overextension. It’s when _boarding_ at US airports that you normally are handled by TSA and things are shaping to get further misshapen. And of course the whole point of the announcement IS to capitalize on ICE’s despicable reputation, as a tool of intimidation. ---

I’m not sure who the threat of staffing airports with ICE agents is directed at. Or rather, I get it’s about striking fear in the hearts of “criminals”, but if this is some kind of payback for Dems not cooperating, how does it harm us as a group, specifically? Anyone who might get busted will surely not be flying, so is he basically saying “ICE presence will fuck everything up and make things worse, so there!”? ---
