> [@Spoons](#): > > In this case, Kristi is making shit up to justify Trump’s actions. I’m sure we’ve all been in positions where we felt the urge to just make shit up, hoping to get out of a challenging situation, and hoping we could just gloss over something and move on. Or just winged it in situations where we were inadequately prepared. But the idea that someone would feel perfectly comfortable just bullshitting AS A HIGH RANKING OFFICIAL IN TELEVISED TESTIMONY BEFORE CONGRESS?! Just so sad that this is accepted as normal - or even praised - by so many these days. ---

Did these people _really_ think that the deportations would stop with violent criminals, especially given that the administration talked about deporting millions? They like to talk about this person who was a rapist or murderer but the fact is that the vast majority of the undocumented are normal people who just want a better life. Just like most people already in this country. ---

Pro Tip Vanessa: _the gangs_ and _the people who came here in droves_ are not a single group. Carol is part of the ‘drove’. What’s happening to Carol is exactly what you wanted to happen. ---

> [@Broomstick](#): > > as far as Trump is concerned ANY person here without proper documentation is a dangerous felon and an imminent threat to national security. No. He doesn’t care about “proper documentation” at all. That’s just an excuse he uses. Trump’s thugs have arrested and deported people that have the proper documentation. as far as Trump is concerned ANY person here without being a white, heterosexual, bible bashing right wing extremist is a dangerous felon and an imminent threat to national security. ---
