You know, this is this is completely deleterious to everybody involved.

And which is why it's a good hunch that the Democrats will support it.

Unfortunately, in in both cases, law and order and in mass migration being followed by some squish Republicans as well.

That's another important point here, Megan, on the federal level, as we say, well, thank goodness, at least there is a chance that justice will be served at the federal level.

Well, this is a reminder for the people, especially the squish Republicans, who don't like it when the Trump administration, you know, goes in and actually exercises political power.

Guys, that's our last...

option.

We don't live in a yeoman republic or some kind of confederacy here.

This hands-off approach that so many Republicans have taken for political power in recent decades doesn't work.

The blue cities, the blue states have made clear they want these killers on the streets.

They don't want to enforce the law.

They're always going to take the side of the criminals over the innocent.

And so the only option is for Republicans, one, to win elections, and two,

to actually wield the political power that they are happily given on some occasions.

You know, I really hope that we can get the federal government to step in here and see justice be served.

And that will be even more of an argument for the federal government to come in with a heavy hand and correct the problems that have festered at the state and local level for at least the happy time that we still have power.

Lawrence O'Donnell has become that meme.

You know the giant transvestite from the bodega?

The bodega owner says, oh, come on up here, sir.

He says, actually, it's ma'am.
