The cages, called “calming areas,” were used for detainees to “reflect on their behavior choices, manage their emotions, reduce stress and practice self-directed behavior,” according to the inspector general’s report.

    And yet it will barely move the needle about how Americans feel about Trump and his administration. The frog has been fully boiled in the pot at this point.

      Just my experience here but no one I’ve encountered is talking good about Trump, they are bitching about food prices, gas/diesel prices, healthcare, housing. There is a LOT of animosity brewing, finally, thankfully. My take is that mid November things are going to get really hot, really fast. Either they hold elections, get absolutely destroyed, and try to maintain power anyway, or they block elections and never have them. Either way, people will be slapped in the face with the fact that they no longer live in a functional democracy, and that those in power have zero regard for the lives of the American people or anyone else in the world, save themselves and their ilk. Maybe that sounds far fetched, but not from where I’m sitting, or from what people are saying to me. Stock up on shelf stable foods, because we are in for some really hard times.
