I am inclined to agree. The utter lack of caring by the administration is traction and the GOP on the Hill is the tell. They will make this a feature not a bug and move on.
So Hamas does the things it agreed to in the initial cease fire, then entered into negotiations for the next phase and the proper Israeli response is to resume bombing civilians? And hamas is the only party here with agency?
The system was already a mockery precisely as you describe. Remain in Mexico was always framed as a COVID response so once the pandemic ended keeping it in place would have made a mockery.
Obama deported more people in his first four years than Trump did. Ditto Biden. Both of them also tried to get Congress to fix the system. It’s was never about immigration policy.
I am not one bit surprised that this is what OT has devolved to. What’s left of the commentariat outside you, Slade, CJ, and Saul would sooner die then admit TFG is a danger to America. So articles like this are approved because the give the people what they apparently want:

Sometimes I think you and Isaac and Koz and Jay all sit around in a group chat and try to find the most out in right field beyond the bleachers thing you can come up with to invalidate a president you don’t like. All because the current guy got investigated and indicted and tried by the state of New York (and then convicted) of actual crimes. So we must make the last guy as bad.
Look - Trump wants this all to be scripted reality TV where every day he’s vanquishing an enemy. He’s as much as said so. Why give these rambling gs any more credence the that, especially when no one can bother to out evidence in the table?
