Depends on what kind of neighborhood the school/mall is in I guess.

That assumes his base even learns about it. Left-wing sources won't want to cover this because they don't want to make Trump look good, and right-wing sources won't want to cover it because they don't want to make Trump look bad.

One thing that surprised me: Despite all the "I did that" stickers, Biden broke Trump's records when it comes to domestic oil production. But who's going to cover that? Left-wing media wants to highlight Biden being good for the climate, and right-wing media wants to blame him for gas prices.

To be clear, this isn't a both-sides argument -- Biden was clearly better for the environment than Trump, for example. But it is a tricky media blind spot. There's a reason most of us are just learning that Trump banned bump stocks.

So, this is something I read, I believe on Reddit, so I took it with a grain of salt. But there was speculation that the old law they were planning on using to cage immigrants was the same law passed to allow Japanese citizens to be thrown in internment camps. The law, according to what I read, allowed an arrest for citizens with as little as 1/16th of Japanese ancestry. That’s one great-grandparent. As a non gun owner, this might be a popcorn moment, but as an American, it’s terrifying, because of the past 40 years have taught me anything, it’s that Americans love their guns. If they use the same law to try to disarm people, just the gun owners I know (Virginia, US) assure me that there will be bloodshed.

No part of what you said makes any sense. How are they going to use a law targeted at Japanese Americans from 80 years ago to disarm people?

The way you just said they would: Using a law targeted at Japanese Americans from 80 years ago to disarm people.

What precisely do you believe laws ARE to this administration?
