    It’d be easy to remove this post for a violation of Rule 3’s requirement on high-quality sources, but this is textbook leopards, so we’ll work around it.

    Pinning this comment so everyone has easy access to the ACLU’s press release about this lawsuit which is likely to be a much better source. Here’s a Charlotte Observer article about the attack. And here’s the Newsweek article quoting MS NOW about the regret.

    Maybe I should have a canned explanation for how trash the IBT is as a source, but as a proxy for that: we don’t use it as much as we reasonably can on Wikipedia (a source which, funnily, I’ve seen the IBT cite for claims not about Wikipedia).

      Factually incorrect.

      Donald did promise an immigration crackdown. He did not promise Gestapo-ing legal citizens. This person has every right to be pissed.

        I would bet you $100 this voter would’ve reveled in watching an illegal immigrant having their window smashed out and getting drug through glass.

        I’d bet another hundred they’d make a comment similar to “well they shouldn’t have been here then, it’s the law and they’re a criminal”

        My wagers are based on every real interaction I’ve had with Trump voters, which is unfortunately way too many. They voted for this to happen to other people, you’re not going to convince me otherwise, but thanks for trying

          Your anecdotal evidence is worthless in the face of actual lost elections and policy changes reflecting the extreme unpopularity that Donald has built among both parties’ voters.

    I mean yes, leopards and faces, but, goddamn.

    US Police will break your window… but they typically won’t drag you through the now broken window, they’ll open the door, unbuckle you or cut the straps.

    Fucking hell.

    What’s underneath Hell?

    How low can the bar be?
