4/4/25: China Calls Trump's Bluff, Stocks Plummet, Lawyer Responds To JD Vance
3 hours ago

Can someone who shares Saagars general worldview explain his position on the church/ICE situation? I genuinely don’t understand what he’s saying. It seems like he was saying “Churches have no rights to protect them and their congregations from government force because I have seen that undocumented criminals have lived in some. But also the federal/state/city government has an imperative to prosecute and jail protestors (mob, gathering whatever you want to call it) because I hate BLM Twitter liberals”

I mean is that really the core argument? It seems like that’s what he always falls back on. “This is justified because 2020 BLM was insane.” I think a lot of it is cringe and destructive as well but…

Idk someone help me out here. Am I misunderstanding or is that actually what it is?

WTF is Saagar doing arguing for some arcane procedural law but basically okay with Gestapo tactics of ICE! Krystal doesn't use the word "Gestapo" to refer to ICE. All of us should use that phrase against these thugs.

It’s pretty rich for DHS to condemn political activity around a church
