The U.S. and Israel have pounded Iran’s leadership and undercut its defense capabilities, but President Trump has offered wildly different explanations for what he hopes to achieve.

When you launch a war with no clear objective, victory isn't really possible; just a lot of pointless death and suffering.

 

Mr. Trump has also not abandoned his heavily restrictionist approach to immigration. Officials are still moving ahead with a number of policies aimed at upending pathways for legal immigration and arresting some refugees lawfully admitted to the United States. The administration has also continued to deport immigrants to countries where they are not from, including in a secret arrangement with Cameroon this year.

The problem is that by the time there is a trial, the person facing bogus charges has already had to spend a night or days in jail, deal with lost time at work or school, etc. We need juries to do something like return treason verdicts against ICE officers when they push bogus charges

Yeah. I have yet to see a protester bring their own tear gas

I'm doing something and getting others to join me, taking advantage of a public low-risk event to get others started down the same path. You're sitting around complaining.
