bombing small boats because apparently they look like drug smugglers…..

Threatening a US city re war…..

Occupying another US city re military and ice……

Arresting visa workers….

Concentration camp, kidnapping, deportation….

Lying, stealing, cheating, making up shit and trying to take our voting rights, civil rights, human rights away….

Killing democracy.
