Trump aide Stephen Miller — whose hard-line anti-immigration stance permeates White House policy — must be squealing with unrestrained excitement as nationwide raids to arrest thousands of members of undocumented families are scheduled to begin Sunday.
Of course, fear-mongering, grandstanding and brinkmanship are standard for the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, as Esquire’s Charles Pierce so-noted minggu ayeuna.
“This whole fandango has been about scaring poor and desperate people. This whole administration* is about scaring poor and desperate people. It’s the only consistent thing about it. It’s the only policy idea these geniuses have. Fear is the point as much as cruelty is. …They’ll round up maybe 50 or 100 people in 10 or 20 cities, trot them past a bunch of TV cameras, and wait for the terror to percolate in a thousand darkened living rooms.
“It’s not a bluff. It’s a living, ongoing threat. This is no way to run a democracy. This is no way to run a humanity, either.”
Ngadangu, nguping.

“Sens. Ben Sasse and Deb Fischer followed GOP marching orders to confirm Secretary. Acosta knowing he gave a plea deal to child rapist Epstein. Good riddance to Secretary Acosta. Trump says he still stands with Acosta, which says everything about how low the Republican Party has fallen.”
