No matter who murdered the guardsmen, trump pulled the trigger. An unnecessary tragedy.
A judge recently found the deployment illegal.

She has every right to. It also appears that JD and Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika, have become very close "friends" just 6 weeks after Kirk's death.

With anti-muslim jingos in charge of US immigration, who is surprised? Cat Stevens was banned from the US for 2 years. He was supposedly linked to terrorist activity, as were a number of muslims in the aftermath of 9/11. The US never explained its decision and allowed him to return to the US in 2006 and beyond. Until now.

@ai6yr I'm afraid we're about to see an increase in this type of group. At DHS, the person in charge of identifying and combating domestic terrorism is a 22 year old man who has worked as a landscaper and grocery clerk.

@lawyersgunsnmoney @obtener
I watch trends, not individual polls. He's trending downward, and a number of polls show him at 38%. Disapproval ratings are up significantly in many areas, which bears watching..
Another factor is news avoidance. A study showed that 40% of Americans avoid the news sometimes or often. They might have a superficial positive opinion of trump while being ignorant of events.
Political experts say that people pay little attention until after Labor Day. We will see.

@lawyersgunsnmoney @obtener I don't think it's a coincidence that trump's overall approval rating is around 40% and that news avoiders make up 40% of our population.🤔
