    Will it make Trump stop being a little whiny baby bitch? I bet if he does it hard enough, then he’ll be strong like a big man.

    Dude makes billions off fascism and state violence then complains about a “crackdown”.

    Somebody should’ve cracked down on this creep long ago.

    If anyone wants a reality check: Trump will install cronies everywhere who will fabricate charges and evidence to put ANYONE in jail. The courts are packed in most states with people he appointed. This is a police state.

          You’re describing a dictatorship. That’s not what police state means. They often go together but each can exist without the other. A multiparty representative government is perfectly capable of running a police state, and the US has been doing so since 2002.

          After 9/11 the federal government, through the Patriot act and others like it, gave themselves the power to spy on everything a citizen does, detain them indefinitely, torture them, seize their assets, or declare them an enemy combatant and target them with a drone.

          The US was a police state long before Trump came along. He’s a symptom. Maybe even an inevitability.

    “Immigrants fill jobs Americans don’t want to do,” he said.

    Undocumented immigrants fill jobs Americans don’t want to do for the exploitative wages the employers pay.
