Voldemort Wants Everyone To Be On Their Own

Scott: I grew up in a family that didn't have health care. I remember when my mom couldn't get health care for my little brother who had a disease. I want people to get health care. Let people buy their own health care pic.twitter.com/zjVUbwnwge

Scott knows healthcare insurance. He made his packet in Medicare fraud.

Heinrich: If the E.U. Sanctions American firms like banks or tech firms, what kind of an impact could that have on the U.S. Economy?

Hassett: The president is the person who wrote "The art of the deal" because he's so good at deal making. pic.twitter.com/Aw43w2eReN

Aside from the title of a ghost written book that Trump didn’t even come up with, cite one example of his deal making prowess that doesn’t involve fraud or bankruptcy.

Brennan: What's the percentage of those in custody who have actually committed a criminal offense?

Noem: 70%

Brennan: It’s not 70%… 47% based on your agency's own numbers.

Noem: You’re wrong again.

Brennan: Well, that’s from your agency.

These people are so bad at their jobs. (And honestly, I expect the agency numbers are inflated.)

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE:

- 43% no criminal record (up from 6% last January)
- 29% one or more prior conviction*

It would seem the numbers go even lower. And indicate the number of criminals caught is going lower, too.

Brennan: How do you judge when you've gotten everyone off the streets that you say is requiring your federal agents be there?

Noem: Well, we won't stop until we are sure that all the dangerous people are brought to justice

So we need the Marines to round up all the people in Minneapolis, including the mayor (he’s under investigation, after all), because it’s the only way to be sure?

Are we gonna remake “Escape from New York” but set it in Minnesota?

Brennan: Are your agents going to comply with the order not to use chemical agents?

Noem: The order was a little ridiculous because the judge told us that we couldn’t do what we already aren’t doing

Brennan: But we just saw video of chemical agents being used.

Noem: We only… pic.twitter.com/oI74tfOPOX

Noem: We only use those chemical agents when there's violence happening

Whose violence? (And yes, I saw that loophole coming as soon as I read about the court order.)
