Are you mostly just for deporting them because they are of Somali descent?
That's how you're coming across.


An estimated 260,000 people of Somali descent were living in the U.S. in 2024, according to the Census Bureau’s annual American Community Survey. The largest population is in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, home to about 84,000 residents, most of whom are American citizens. Ohio, Washington and California also have significant populations.

Almost 58% of the Somalis in Minnesota were born in the U.S. Of the foreign-born Somalis in Minnesota, an overwhelming majority –- 87% — are naturalized U.S. citizens. Of the foreign-born population, almost half entered the U.S. in 2010 or later, according to the Census Bureau.

They include many who fled the long civil war in their east African country and were drawn to the state’s welcoming social programs.
Also we have a major fraud problem due to all the Somali migration into the US!

Ah yes, the famously super liberal FBI who literally has never had a Democrat run it.

And, hate to break it to you, but Russian collusion happened. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee investigation released their report in five volumes between July 2019 and August 2020. The committee concluded that the intelligence community assessment alleging Russian interference was "coherent and well-constructed", and that the assessment was "proper", learning from analysts that there was "no politically motivated pressure to reach specific conclusions". The report found that the Russian government had engaged in an "extensive campaign" to sabotage the election in favor of Trump, which included assistance from some of Trump's own advisers.
You're misrepresenting that report. The committee did not conclude that Trump conspired or coordinated with the Russians in election-interference activities. Note well that there were zero criminal referrals as a result either of the Senate investigation or of Mueller's investigation.

I guess the Steele Dossier and the improper FISA warrants based upon it are just down the memory hole for you.
 
To disperse crowds near the White House--you know, like the ones who set fire to the church across Lafayette Square from the White House.

"Peaceful protests" these were not. Context matters.
It is unheard of (with the exception of Kent State) that troops have ever opened fire on *any* protesters in this country, and it would have been 100% unnecessary even at the time. You are attempting to defend the indefensible.
 
The weekend at Bernie's president Biden! It was done during the COVID 19 pandemic as well.

Lol nope! Absolutely, incontrovertibly wrong. The 2020 census was conducted in (as the name suggests) 2020, with most preparation taking place in 2018 and 2019. Donald Trump was President from 1/20/17 to 1/20/21.

So is your orange god-emperor in on the conspiracy or is he just incompetent?

14 states made significant errors in the census
Dude. Trump left office in 2021. The census was done in 2020.
The Census was still wrong. Blame it on whoever you want.
 
Unless it’s an insurrection incited by their Messiah, then it’s “peaceful protest.”

Or my favorite one ... a "tour" of the Capitol.
I see in the lower right we have someone taking a bong rip .. nice .. He does seem to be having fun, I'll give him that much.

Trump's advisors helped a Russian campaign to elect Trump. His campaign manager was literally giving confidential polling data to oligarchs linked to the Kremlin. That's not collusion in your book?

They weren't "based upon the Dossier" and the warrants were, pardon the pun, absolutely warranted. The investigation was already underway and bits of the dossier about Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page (not Trump) were used in the warrant application. Page had attended high-level meetings with Russians during a trip to Europe, and Page was lying about it at the time. The Dossier noted that he had met with Russians (and was correct on that point). That's what was used in the warrant.

I certainly think it's worth of investigation that a a major-party Presidential candidate's foreign policy advisor, who years prior been suspected of being a Russian intelligence asset, was lying about meeting with a deputy Russian Prime Minister while working for said major-party Presidential candidate.

Finally, the FISA warrants of Page continued even after Trump was inaugurated. You know for a FISA warrant of an American citizen you have to show the judges you are collecting valuable information or otherwise they get shut down? Investigators went back to the court at least four times and demonstrated that they were collecting valuable information from the wiretap of Page. So it wasn't some sort of Obama fishing expedition.
