Everyone just chill. [View all]

The Trump administration is NOT going to be deporting millions of people, illegal or not. Think about it. How many thousands of busses would be needed? How many bus drivers? And assuming those being deported will helpfully go to the Place of Deportation and quietly board those busses, it will take many, many months, nay years.

Same with a lot of the nonsense Trump and those around him are saying. Cut Social Security and Medicare? I guess not a single Republican has an elderly parent who relies on those things.
