With respect to all, "dangerously close" to such behavior was a while ago -- some days he's already THERE.

in 20 years what will that little person think of what America was like under Trump? what will they be taught in school? will their parents and grandparents speak of the protests? what legacy will the ICE units leave? will their descendants admit to them?

Liza, I hope YOU have good weekend. So appreciate what you do and the positive feelings you provide. As Joyce Vance says, we ARE all in this together. Thank you, too, for being here.

Thanks for your insight on this behavior. When I see the tapes of these people, with masks, not like regular masks, but like the gun slingers in cowboy movies, I think to myself, God Lord, is this really happening, or is it a bad western? And aren't they supposed to, like any good detective would tell you, read hese senators their rights when they handcuff and jail them??? And how in God's holy name are they allowed to do this to SENATORS? I am just flummoxed. And now he's getting us into a war. Didn't he say on Day One of his regime...ah I mean presidency, he would end the wars in Ukraine and Israel? I think he was sent by a foreign country which I won't name to implode the US, and by golly, that's just what he's doing. Lord help us all.

In what ways are "We are not there yet completely, ..."? Folks, we now have complete autocracy. The Executive Branch does not complying with Federal Court decisions. The Legislative Branch does comply with all Executive Orders. Autocracy means that one "person," in this case, the Trump administration, makes the rules and nothing can stop him. There are no more "checks and balances!" Our nation is now fully autocratic. If that thought makes you uncomfortable, congratulations, you still have some sense of humanity.

Don't kid yourself.

Masked, anonymous thugs are kidnapping people off the street. We no longer have "due process of the law."

Do you feel a little shy to name-names? That's called self-censorship and it is caused by fear of retaliation.

And ... it's not hit or miss.

It's once a day, everyday, all day long.

He’s also bringing us dangerously close to war after dropping bombs on Iran. 😡

Attacking Iran without congressional approval? Yeah, his behavior is already there. And for all the unconditional love he's spreading around the country he definitely deserves the NOBEL PEACE PRICE. :-(

I only hope she is too little to understand what the adults are saying around her. Kids should be playing, having fun, being kids, and remaining innocent amid all the chaos surrounding them. Remember, Trump said they don't need more than two dolls - probably no dolls now. I can't wait to see how his administration and military spin the attack. And where was Tulsi Gabbard? Where is Congress? They should immediately start an investigation and impeachment proceedings. Feeling sick and heartbroken today, as people I know think Israel was right to attack Iran. I believe Netanyahu wanted to show Trump who was in charge. Notice how there is very little news about ICE raids, people starving in Gaza, etc. The news spin cycle seems to last only hours before something is out of the news, and something new occurs to distract us all. However, dropping bombs on another country?!!! That little girl is all of the children that will be affected by those in positions of power.
