You know, citizens need recourse not only to get justice, but also to put these officers on notice that they will be held accountable for their actions.

Yeah, I mean, this is a thing that authoritarian leaders force you to do.

You have to go sort of kiss the ring or be friends with them or make good, and then maybe you can get a special request granted.

Like Vladimir Zelensky, when he would have to go to the White House to try to like, he knew he was going to be humiliated.

He had to sit there and take it because he wanted to save his people.

This is the position that people are forced in.

They're in a subservience position where they have to beg for things that they should not have to, that should already be given.

I mean, so, yeah, I'm glad the woman is released, of course, of course.

But when there's a policy coming like this from DHS where people are being snatched, there aren't enough White House meetings to save people individually.

And that's the real problem.

Yeah.

I mean, when I see this situation, aside from, you know, all the things I said previously, I mean, this is just New York wheeling and dealing, right?

Like large part of the affinity because they're New Yorkers at heart.

And I'm not like disparaging New York, but Donald Trump was always very dealt into the real estate market, trying to do things there.

And

This is another thing I'm always like wondering about is how are so many people so eager to ingratiate themselves with Trump in his New York days?

Because you could see what he was then, but everybody went to lunch with Marla Maples and was right into that and hanging around with Ivana Trump.

And I just look at that like, why?

Why?

Why did you guys want to hang out with him all the time?
