Each day I feel more and more like I'm back in communist Cuba. After 56 years of living free in America, I'm reliving my childhood dictatorship nightmare! This is a coup.

Which makes it even crazier that one of the men very responsible for these changes – Marco Rubio, his family are refugees from Communist Cuba and he’s spoken out vehemently against this… until he became Secretary of State and sees a Presidency in his future. (There is not one!)

Truth is, the “radical leftist judge” gets due process…. but if the DOJ is the judge and jury then we have very little help. This was Trump and his FBI director’s shock and awe move.

Now we’ll see how big Justice Roberts balls are.

People voted for Trump because of racism/otherism and the others to take advantage of tax breaks and opportunities for wealth.

I’m fckng shocked🙄

No worries I heard Democrats & Courts are very concerned 😡

SCOTUS is not on America’s side or the entire treasonous GOP wld be out of office vs waiting for the midterm elections that may not happen 😒

Republican Party no longer tries to hide their corruption and support of the coup

Drag Them Out Of Their Offices

EVERY REPUBLICAN IS EITHER ACTIVELY ASSISTING THE COUP OR ARE COMPLICIT COWARDS

TFG Is A Symptom

Republicans Are The Problem

AMERICA…. FFS STOP REWARDING THEM WITH SEATS OF POWER

Voting them out isn’t enough

WTP shld settle for nothing less than the annihilation of this corrupt lying anti-Constitutional political party

I m so glad you said, we shouldn't call it deportation. The media keeps using the word deportation to refer to sending people to that prison in El Salvadore. Permanent imprisonment is not deportation. They have got to quit using that word. Talking about deportation is not the same thing as talking about imprisoning people with no due process

they also were not all gang members that were sent out of the country to a violent gulag

Right. We just don't know whether they were gang members because the government did not present any evidence. For any of them. Governments have always deported people. I don't like the way the current government is handling that, but governments do that stuff. But "deporting" them to a concentration camp is something else. I don't understand why the media keeps saying the word deporting instead of imprisoning.

The criminal doesn’t believe in the system that gave him his constant attack of his illegal activities! Due Process is in the crosshairs of this regime!

Mr Fanone, you are a hero and I am horrified by this latest news about the man who assaulted you - your courage and grace are impressive - so glad to see you on the Jim Acosta show.

Can't wait to see both Michael F. and Jim in Iowa. I just rewatched his testimony before the Congressional committee. INCREDIBLY powerful, all the more so because he's so calm and rational and recounts all the details. Hope it's on every news broadcast in the country.

Well Ella, it just me angrier! So today I called my rep representative, donated to Indivisible. Did not vote for him, he is unfit. So one less independent voter. Will never vote for a Republican, that is, if there are any more elections.

I am 71 years old. I am the granddaughter of an immigrant. I have not protested since Kent State. I witnessed the assassinations of JFK, Martin Luther King, and Bobbie. I remember the Detroit riots, and Kent State. I never thought in my life time I would see the United States of America hunting Humans and shipping them to foreign prisons. They are concentration camps not prisons. Innocent Humans being abducted, shackled, heads shaved and herded like animals into cells. Due Process. Rule of Law. What happened to our government. I am still trying to comprehend this. The USA is hunting Humans. Let's tell it like it is. It is inhumane. And people say they don't get involved with politics. Well, I say your life may depend on it.

I’m 79 and also the granddaughter of immigrants. I remember all as well. I share your feelings.

Same here, similar history. I thought the Detroit riots were awful but so understood the anger, could see the bright red glow from my bedroom window. Now every day brings a new worse. Astonishing how fast this is happening.

Excellent job of reporting Jim! Thank G-d there are still some journalists with a spine and the guts to speak the truth.

Jim, you are not starting any SH**, it was started on J6 with the MAGA Republican criminals and their felon leader! You did not attack the Capitol on J6! The ones that did should be held accountable even if it’s just through the eyes of the American public! We know what we saw and heard on J6 and it was simply horrendous!

Pam Bondi should be careful. Could she lose her law license and be disbarred? Didn't she take an oath to be ethical and uphold the law. Didn't she pledge to support the Constitution, and conduct herself with integrity? She has violated this oath and should be subject to disciplinary action including disbarment.

I agree 100% about the W.H. Correspondence Dinner. All members of the press should suddenly get the flu (or some gumption) and boycott it!
