I do not like Rand Paul. I do not like Republican Senators backstabbing the Trump administration.

However, this was handled terribly by Noem and Bovino and the statements they made immediately after without checking carefully were very damaging.

It was obvious when Tom Homan began to address this he took an entirely different tone and was far more responsible.

Having said that, I want the illegal immigrants out of my country.

It’s criminal that a Republican Senate will not pass laws to prevent them all being let back in by a Democrat administration.

The Biden administration blatantly violated the existing laws to encourage and allow massive illegal immigration into the United States from 2021 to 2024.

The Democrats would ignore any more laws, just as they ignored the existing laws.

Rand Paul was one the Senate members who stood by and allowed (or even gave cover to) Joe Biden to import as many as 20 million illegal aliens and put them on welfare to bust our already bankrupt budgets.

Now that Trump is trying to clean up the mess that Rand Paul himself is culpable for, Paul tries to obstruct the Trump Administration at every turn.

As a default position, I'm going to side with the people who are trying to sort out the epic disaster that is destroying our country and tell the guy guys who created the problem and are now obstructing Trump Administration efforts to clean up the mess guys like Paul created to shove off.

Indeed. Even if we were to assume the very worst, that every public servant involved in the death of Pretti committed first degree murder, such assumption only applies to that specific incident.

It does not delegitimize the effort to identify, locate, arrest, and deport ILLEGAL aliens.

It does highlight possible problems in the way public servants are trained.

It does highlight the absolutely horrible job the State of Minnesota and the city of Minneapolis did in keeping peace and order.

Agreed. Pretti did a bunch of stupid things that should have gotten him arrested, tried, and put in jail. But nothing that should have gotten him shot.

Some day they will stop training cops to shoot when hearing the word "gun." At some departments, the word "gun" is used in training at the range for the command to commence fire.

Stop watching the Treason Media and repeating their Talking Points.

Pretti was Pretti stoopid. But it’s all Good now.
