Has anyone looked at data that would compare how many undocumented migrants committed felonies versus the number of ‘patriots’/criminals who were just released onto the streets as a result of his pardons. Trump says he deports migrants because they make our country unsafe, but by pardoning so many Jan 6 insurrectionists who committed heinous crimes, how safe are we really? And it’s not just insurrectionists. For example he pardoned Ross Ulbricht, a known drug dealer and user of child pornography, and who conspired to commit murder for hire. I bet that he released more criminals on the streets than there are number of migrants who committed felonies. I’d like to find data that verify my assumptions, though. Thank you
Many on here dropped their subscriptions to WaPo, NYT and other legacy media when they engaged in reporting that unfairly advantaged FFOTUS and subsequently bent the knee in several disgusting ways, including continuing to sane wash and "explain" his statements and write about his nominees and executive decisions as if they are normal. It was an effective movement that spread a message. We have alternative media now such as multiple Substack authors and other single authors and groups that are bringing us truthful news and analysis, we have pod casts and some radio (I've found NPR to be a bit on the overly tempered side thus far but my sample may be too small), but we need all the modes of communication we can salvage and build so now that FFOTUS sounds like he's going after Rachel Maddow, it would be really wise for us all to show as much support for her and for O'Donnell as possible in as many places as possible. Commenting where allowed, sharing and promoting Maddow's Public Servant Announcements on the nominees, finding them on other social media and Youtube (and commenting again) can be effective. We've seen it can be.
And, as much as it grits my gizzard to say so, we should all take a moment to thank Collins, Murkowski and (taking a moment to wrestle with myself) yes even McConnell for voting "no" on Hegseth. Even a stopped watch can be right once a day and even a stopped up old goblin of a right wing Senator apparently can be, too. We have to show that courage can be rewarded and let them and the response to their vote set examples and provide reassurance for the rest of the GOP. It's okay if you need to go wash your hands after you put down the phone, but we should all do it.
