Donald Trump has learned nothing from decades of endless war.

I went to war three times for this country. Working class folks will pay the price of his military adventurism.

Americans are sick of it. I’m sick of it.

These buildings do not have the infrastructure to hold this many people. They are not built for this. From plumbing to HVAC to electrical. This is going to be a humanitarian disaster. One must assume it's intentional. They have no plans for sewage, showers, clean water, or even basic food.

Companies reap $22bn from Trump’s immigration crackdown Palantir and Deloitte among beneficiaries of spending by government agencies

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

Grabbing immigrants as they wait at Faneuil Hall to be sworn in as American citizens. They did everything by the book. Paid fees, interviewed, were investigated, spent months and years following the prescribed, legal process.

Allowing Banks to give a 50 year Mortgage is essentially making Bankers renters making a whole lot of money. Trump is is for Banks and Corporations not the American people.
What a scam. And I thought Neg Am loans were bad in 2006.
