might, like, cook up in a lab if you were trying to design the most gut-wrenching, merciless, designed to be offensive policy, right, that you could possibly imagine. something that was designed to stoke outrage and show off, you know, cruelty and intentional infliction of pain for people who least deserve it. like it was a contest for that. this is what you'd submit to try to win. this was the headline at npr on thursday. "trump wants to withdraw deportation protections for families of active troops." they think that there hasn't been enough outrage. they're not getting enough supposedly negative attention for the way they treat immigrants, and so the next anti-immigrant thing they're floating, and they floated it right as the democratic presidential candidates were getting to the debate stage, i'm sure they were hoping this would be a topic of discussion. literally what they're floating now is deporting u.s. military families, deporting the family members of active duty serving u.s. troops. how do you like that?
