In my town, San Francisco (which is supposed to be a sanctuary city), the biggest thing that illegal Latino immigrants have to fear is not Right Wingers (SF Republican registration is now 7% of voters) but is actually other Latinos, both citizens and illegal immigrants. I've known several illegal immigrants personally. One immigrant I knew of worked construction. He has been cheated by contractors hiring him, but then the contractor never showed up on payday. Just disappeared. My friend saved enough money to buy a little truck. He parked his truck on the street overnight. It was broken into several times. Two of his laptops and several of his power tools were stolen. Now he stores his power tools in a Mission District storage locker. He can't go to the police for help, for obvious reasons.

Other Latinos I have known have been robbed at knife (or gun) point, and many get beaten and robbed. They don't go to the police for obvious reasons. Some I knew left San Francisco, and traveled to red states, Texas or Florida, where they feel life may be safer or better for them. Imagine that.

Illegal immigrants suffer from depression, and fall prey to alcohol and other dependencies. Returning to Mexico or Central America to visit the wife and kids is expensive and risky. If they are away from home too long, another man may move in with their wife, and they lose her that way. They often become dependent on alcohol or drugs, and are too often too drunk to even look for work. It is a hard life they have, a life I would not wish for anyone.

Even Adam Schiff when he was visiting S.F. for a fundraiser had his car rental broken into and got his luggage stolen.

In places like Oakland and Concord, bearister and Tom are more worried about ring wingers with MAGA hats roaming the streets.

I would be happy to pay a monthly stipend to a MAGA to walk around The Town a few hours a day with that red hat on.

Samuel Johnson wasn't criticizing genuine love of country, but rather the pretended patriotism that people (especially certain politicians of the time) used as a cloak for self-interest.

Get to the part where that doesn't describe Trump and his faux patriotism.

The following supports the contention that that Donald Trump's displays of patriotism are performative and insincere:

Erosion of Democratic Institutions:

Critics argue that attempting to subvert the 2020 election results and encouraging the disruption of the constitutional certification process are direct assaults on the foundation of American democracy.

Draft Deferments:

Detractors often highlight his receipt of multiple medical deferments during the Vietnam War as a conflict with his later "America First" rhetoric and championing of the military.

Conflicts of Interest:

Critics argue that prioritizing personal and business interests over public duty while in office undermines the foundational American ideal that leaders serve the nation without personal enrichment.

Rhetoric and Alliances:

Critics assert that his frequent criticism of the independent press, judiciary, and political opponents, alongside his praise for authoritarian leaders, demonstrates a fundamental disrespect for the rule of law and constitutional norms.

The "False Equivalency" of Patriotism:

Observers contend that he has conflated loyalty to his personal political movement with loyalty to the country, equating opposition to his agenda with un-American sentiment.

Good counter.

Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, Donald Trump's former White House Chief of Staff, has made several public statements confirming that Trump privately disparaged U.S. service members, veterans, and military leadership.Kelly on the record detailed various comments Trump made regarding the military:

Disparagement of War Dead and Veterans"Losers" and "Suckers":

Kelly confirmed a 2020 report in The Atlantic stating that Trump repeatedly referred to Americans who died on the battlefield or were captured as "losers" and "suckers".

Trump reportedly questioned the point of their sacrifice, asking, "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers" when refusing to visit an American military cemetery in France.

Disdain for Wounded Veterans:

Kelly stated that Trump did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees, quoting him as saying, "Look, I don't want any wounded guys in the parade. It doesn't look good for me".

Lack of Understanding of Service:

While standing near the grave of Kelly's own sona Marine lieutenant killed in AfghanistanTrump reportedly asked Kelly, "I don't get it. What was in it for them?" because he could not understand non-transactional, selfless public service.

Gen. Mark Milley: The former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff corroborated that Trump disparaged wounded service members. He recounted an incident where Trump reprimanded him for featuring an Army captain who had lost a leg in Afghanistan singing at a ceremony, allegedly saying, "no one wants to see that, the wounded

Look, let's say there are a few accusations against Trump that are false (doubtful, but just for the sake of argument let's say that)... there are surely dozens of other things that he's guilty of -- probably the majority of which revolve around using the office to enrich himself and his family -- that haven't yet been brought up.

He is guilty of all misconduct he has every been accused of his entire life and worse……and his 10 year old boy "tell" is that all misconduct he has ever accused others of engaging in he is either actively engaging in that misconduct himself or has engaged in it.

Iran seems a lot more fragile right now, I read that Pezeshkian the PM/Spokesman whatever he is, tried to resign from his position stating that there's too many factions and the hard line powers have basically all the control right now which is making his job too difficult and posted the letter I believe, and basically whoever is leading the hardline powers right now rejected the resignation. Also Khomeinis son who is supposedly leading and nobody has seen him at all alive is signing all these orders and many believe he's got a gun behind his head or is basically an autopen for the IRGC. So essentially its impossible right now for anyone in the US Gov't to get a deal done because there's no single entity to deal with. Btw it seems the US or Israel just took out one of Iran's major Generals Hakkan (could be misspelled) who was working as their PR dude who was responsible for making sure it was effectively being spread as far as possible, with a surgical strike. A lot of stuff is happening and not much being written about from the news...weird huh.
