Did you watch Chris Hayes tonight?

I was only half paying attention to the TV, but he said something that really resonated with me, and it is something I will repeat to any Trump supporting asshole who tries to get into it with me.

It was something along the lines of "How did Trump's action on this help you"?

It may have been about that man who was deported to Iraq, a country that he is not even from, only to pass away because he could not get his insulin in Iraq.

How did that make your life better, Mr. Trump supporter?

How does separating children from their parents make your life better?

Why does hurting someone else improve your life?

1. WaPo reporting that Iraqi had a long criminal record.

"ICE officials in Detroit, in a statement to The Post, say he had 20 criminal convictions between 1998-2017, including several violent charges, and that he cut off a GPS device he was supposed to wear while on release from immigration custody."

If that's true, I can't defend his deportation. I empathize with his medical plight, of course.

2. He was mentally ill. n/t

3. Yep, I saw it. He was spot on. Those assholes know their lives are not better. I don't know if they

care or not. These are not the " bad hombres". "Bad hombres" don't punch a time clock and work at chicken plants.
I guess they don't care as long as he's hurting the " right people".

Wages of whiteness.

4. I didn't, but that is an excellent way to respond to MAGAts

5. Yes, I heard that, too - and it stuck with me, too

Good statements by Chris Hayes.
