It's like the first thing I thought of because of how my mind works when I heard we were launching these strikes is that
If Trump is going to do something that is politically risky, potentially politically catastrophic, although maybe not, drastic, raises some constitutional questions, and all of that, a huge swing like that, and using a lot of political capital,
I would much rather it be on mass deportations of every single illegal immigrant in the country.
And also, and this is where we get to the constitutional questions,
defying every federal judge who tries to stop him.
And here's the thing, unlike some right-wing commentator, there are right-wing commentators who are calling for mass deportations and will also insist that, yeah, we could do it.
The people will love it.
We're not gonna suffer any big political backlash.
If anything, it'll be a red wave because people will love it so much.
Maybe it works out that way.
I tend to doubt it.
I'm not sure exactly politically how this would play.
I mean, if you did mass deportations, not just, Michael, to your point, not just the face tattooed criminals, but you're actually deporting people who've been here for 10 years, have never committed an additional crime aside from coming to the country illegally, and you're and you're deporting millions of them.
I'm not sure how that plays, what that looks like.
We know that the media propaganda campaign, they would treat it like a nuclear holocaust.
We saw what they did when we were only deporting the face tattooed criminals.
We were deporting sex offenders, pedophiles, Somali fraudsters, and they treated it that way.
You can only imagine if it was actual mass deportations of non-criminal aliens, except for the crime of coming here illegally.
So I don't know, but what I'm saying, and it is possible, I will admit this right now, that if you were to do that,
And you were especially to do the second part, which will be necessary, of basically flipping the middle finger to the federal judges and saying, yeah, I get you guys don't like this.
