Do you think Trisha McLaughlin has a Google Doc with stock answers for things, and she's just got to fill in a few details?

Because it always reads the same, right?

It's like, ah, Joe Biden released this trend to an Aragua member, and he evaded police, and they had to fire a defensive shot.

Oh, just mix up a few new details to keep it fresh, right?

So much of this is just theater.

That little...

Border Patrol dude walking through Target.

Some of this, I think, is them trying to please the boss.

Some of this, I think, is them trying to terrorize people so they just self-deport.

And it's just so unnecessary.

They didn't resign.

I fired them, Sean Hannity.

I think they're going to resign.

consider a couple moves down the field but um i'm wondering what you think about it what if you're if you're seeing the same buzz around that question as i am it's definitely escalatory you know i'm i guess i'm my inclination is you don't want to escalate anymore you would hate to see a situation where they call in the guard then they call in the military and then it's real fucking tinderbox i can't believe we're actually talking about this again step back what is going on over nothing

If it were over corruption.

and the abuse of the social safety net by these Somali immigrant communities, which there are real instances of this, then they wouldn't have forced out this attorney who was leading the corruption when he's one of the six attorneys who was leading the corruption cases and had surfaced

incredible amounts of grift and prosecuted it successfully.

So back to your question of what is the play here.

Look, I could sit here and make the argument.

I'm not saying I believe it.
