    “I know Ron’s doing a second one… and probably a couple of more, and you know, at some point they might morph into a system where you’re going to keep it for a long time.”

    Talk about burying the lede. Yet another plain-as-day admission by Trump that this is not and was never going to stop at immigrants.

      Pretty much this exact thing happened to me.

      Being taken without due process can be somewhat traumatising.

        Hard disagree. Bush was as corrupt and evil, he just wasn’t as competent and lacked the full support of the GOP which was somewhat more sane in those day.

          Bush was definitely not nearly as evil. Cheney and Rumsfeld, maybe. Bush was a useful idiot.

          lacked the full support of the GOP

          Yeah, that’s not how I remember it.

            Bush knew that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and invaded anyway because he wanted to finish what daddy started. How many innocents suffered and died because of that decision? He authorized kidnapping people off the street in foreign nations and throwing them in black sites to be tortured without any evidence that they were actually enemies or criminals. He’s responsible for enough death and suffering that Trump actually still has some catching up to do, though I concede he is well on his way.

            Also, the GOP in the Bush ere was not the rubber stamp it is now. They still pretended to care about what was right and wrong. That is no longer the case.

            Stop white-washing Bush and acting like he was a well-meaning, doddering, buffoon. He wasn’t.
