From nojo at Stinque:
In the first three weeks of the Trump administration, we have learned not to trust anything its representatives say.
This comes as no surprise.
To add an additional degree of civic epistemology, we have also learned not to trust anything they say about anything they said. For anyone speaking with Trump’s authority, truth is an undiscovered country.
Which is why, when we are told that this week’s raids on undocumented immigrants are merely a continuation of Obama’s policy, we have no reason not to conclude that such explanations are total bullshit.
Make no mistake, Obama was no stranger to deportations — 2.5 million people over his first six years in office, more than his predecessors.
