7. D day can't come soon enough (for me) when it comes to criminal kankles

Responding to: "If someone is here illegally, can’t they just be deported back to their home country? Why were FEMA funds diverted to build a concentration camp? Being here illegally might be a crime, but does it justify responding with militarizing budgets, inhumane conditions and police states?"

It's all about enriching themselves and their donors. The methodology and the damage that's left in that wake (to people/planet) are just part of the minutiae.

I share your feelings on this issue resoundingly, EnergizedLib. I don't want to pay for deporting the guy or gal who is picking my strawberries, or cleaning hotel rooms simply because the color of their skin is brown. If they ARE being extracted from America for something that they think is just cause, then that human needs to be treated with dignity: as in being allowed to have a lawyer, and their day(s) in court. I simply do NOT want our money dolled out to POTUS or Wall Street (aka: the duo), so that they can profit off of injustice, abuse and cruelty.

The duo are currently laying claim to every cent of our paycheck money (which coverts to Fed dollars). That's the rub for me, they have been underpaying us since at least 2009 and socking away that extra money offshore. And now (through the creation of Project 2025), they have their hands on our FED dollars via contacts for: planes, weaponry, war, concentration camps, prisons, the education system, ad nauseam. As a bonus, the willful conspirators are in the process of dismantling the USPS.
