The kid is with his father at an ICE detention center in TX. ICE tried to give him to the mother, but the father told her to not open the door to ICE, fearing she would be taken as well. It is just a sh*t show here.

ICE today is claiming MN is protecting criminals, Head of Corrections Dept show video of the criminals being released into ICE custody from the jail 2 weeks ago.

ICE claiming there are over 1,400 criminals in the corrections system here. Head of Corrections contacted all the jails and there are less than 350.

But by all means, feel free to prove you are an idiot if you believe ANYTHING this administration puts out.

The gun owner seemed to have acted in a rational manner, from what I read in the article.

I have no issue with people owning guns.

What I have an issue with is the GOP allowing, maybe even encouraging, people to own guns who may not be as rational as this person.

Stated differently, the GOP has often said, it is not the gun, it is the person using the gun.

Yet the GOP works to prevent things like, e.g., background checks, for gun buyers.

Well, this surely didn't act as any kind of deterrent, in fact, I argue that it was a tacit nod of approval:

""It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do," Biden told reporters at an East Room news conference. "But if they actually do what they're capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine.""

Other than that, yeah, if as a nation we aspire to walk back from being "Team America: World Police" there really wasn't much he could have done to prevent it outside of an immediate escalation into a broader war with Russia.

There are three long years yet before that occurs, if it occurs.

Meanwhile it's an even year. He has until around June when much of Congress goes home to campaign.

And if Republicans don't win the House he is likely to be impeached again.

And if Republicans don't hold the Senate he is likely to be convicted.

So a war with Cuba Canada or Mexico is pretty much guaranteed.

Truth is we have no idea what is about to happen to us.
