    Worth noting, though, Trump is talking about sending “homegrown criminal” to El Salvador prisons. Considering Trump does not define “criminal” as someone convicted of a crime, this is genuinely scary.

        The courts will absolutely shake their fists furiously while the republicans in congress will sit on their thumbs while ceding all their power to the executive branch.

        Democrats really have no power except to shut the government down. Hopefully they use that power in the fall.
