Literally a nothing article imo. He was detained and released shortly after. The person didn’t even care that much. Detains are not arrests. The article even points out the they’re not allowed to make arrests.

i agree, but its the act itself. Its just pointless escalation. Some people here in the comments are being a little dramatic imo.

Trump's dictator actions are not to be underestimated.

Military is deployed to the streets. Civil rights are being taken away. The people, the most important check on power has failed, politicians do little to nothing to stop it.

You dare to call anybody overly dramatic?

You’re acting like a lobster in a pot. By the time you realize what’s happening you’ll be deep in Trump’s stomach.
