‘Did you see Musk’s imperial Roman salute, later adopted by Hitler? Do you think it was on purpose, to send a signal to the world that he wants to be in charge?’ I asked Camp after we toasted out health at our usual watering hole.

Hate is on the program as are detentions and incarcerations. Families will be torn apart and criminals and people smugglers will thrive since the price for drugs and illegal migrants has just increased.’
