You are as naive as someone who jumps the fence in a zoo to hug a lion.

The entirety of politics is power and management of power.

The entirety of politics is 'might makes right'.

This notion that it is anything otherwise is what has allowed, I'd argue, the people who correctly view politics as a zero-sum game to have made as much progress as they have in the past decade. The 'team politics' aspect of it is a separate issue, but saying that 'might makes right' is somehow separate from politics itself is absurd.

•Trump said they would stop targeting restaurants and service industry jobs
-They didn't, nothing changed
•Head of the Dept. of agriculture says she reached agreement with Trump to not target farms
-They continued to target farms, nothing changed

ICE is sort of like the cops. If you call them, they have to show up, unless something is preventing them. So, as long as people call ICE on farms and restaurants and hotels, spics gonna get picked.

My reaction is this:

Why would you make noise considering the pile of questionable shit you guys got up to and knowing how much this administration’s supporters love to signal boost such shit?

Whilst Queen are my favourite band and Brian May is awesome (can respect him despite his politics) I think he's got this badly wrong.

However, post-war kids like Freddie, Brian, Roger and John were told that the enemy is always 'over there' and the need to keep Europe safe was paramount. They were never taught that 'the enemy could well come from within'.

I just wonder if President Trump will reply by launching his own Radio Station, because then all we'll hear is Radio MAGA...
