… which raises the question: ‘why not “Trump the Terrible [or Donald the Dreadful]?
I thought of Genghis Kahn which works in terms of ruthlessness and ambition. However, his acumen and ability to unite disparate peoples disqualifies him.
Hence, Trump the Terrible, after Ivan IV of Russia who, like Joffrey, was given to extreme cruelty, paranoia, violent outbursts and tyrannical governance. Joffrey, Ivan IV, Trump the Terrible.
Unfortunately, I don't think he needs a nickname. I think history will make his name synonymous with cruelty and evil, just like they did with the last guy who tried to rule the world.
Van Hollen made a fool of himself, but he’s dumb like a fox. It was a Cory Booker grandstanding move.
It logically follows that if you oppose tariffs you should be pleased that tariff revenue is lower than expected if it indicates that importers are finding a way to avoid them, which I’m sure they are. Compliance is handled by specialist firms that spend their whole day figuring out how to minimize costs.
On the other hand, it could be that revenues are down because tariffs are discouraging imports, which means they’re having the intended effect.
You think Van Hollen's a fool, fair enough. I'll point out again that he's done more to try to free the innocent man from the foreign gulag than the Trump administration (despite being ordered by the Supreme Court to do so).
I oppose tariffs because they're bad for the economy, specifically working people. They're bad if they work and they're bad if they don't. I'm not pleased to find out that the President was wrong, because I knew that already, and I live in the economy he's tanking.
This guy’s no angel. His wife slapped two restraining orders on him for alleged abuse including beatings. Of course, women’s rights take a back seat to TDS in this day and age.
The bottom line is he was certainly reportable but due to a 2019 court order should have been deported to a different country.
I wouldn't make him my poster child for the demonization of Trump’s deportation policy if I were you.
Can't you read? I've said that several times. But an illegal is entitled to very little due process which arguably Garcia had 6 years ago. I'm not going to say this again but if and when he comes back he will doubtless have yet another heating which will determine he is here illegally and authorize deportation again, this time perhaps back to El Salvador because Van Hollen has inadvertently proved that his life is NOT in danger there. He may even get to appeal, but there's no defense. He came here illegally, the remedy is deportation.
They weren't deported, George. They were imprisoned in a foreign country, with no idea how long they'll be there, without due process. And we're paying for it.
They were deported to El Salvador and taken into custody there as gang members. It makes sense to see that they’re in prison so they don’t just bounce right back here.
The only issue is that Garcia was protected from deportation to that country by a court order.
It is stipulated that he entered the US illegally. There’s no defense against that. Deportees are legally entitled to process due commensurate with their status. Garcia arguably received that 6 years ago.
Issued 6 hours ago: "It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all," a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit wrote.
"The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order."
You don't believe in "innocent until proven guilty."

Van Hollen’s “mission” to El Salvador was a stupid, futile gesture signifying only that he’s running for President.
If you oppose tariffs, you should be delighted that the take is less than projected
Stupid, maybe. Futile, likely. But a hell of a lot better than doing nothing, like Trump.
Of course I oppose tariffs, but I'm far from delighted. All this economic pain, and for what? A fraction of what he promised... shocker.

Like I say Van Hoplen is dumb like a fox. Just pulled a stunt for Democrats.
... A stunt that is only possible because the Trump administration broke the law and sent an innocent man to a foreign gulag.
The party with no power has done more than the Trump administration to help this man.

It is hardly indefensible to deport illegal aliens.

Sounds like he's been watching a little too much Tucker Carlson.
