Show PostYes. Abolish DHS.
Show PostAnd, specifically, when you insist on replying to me with it — and I do not mean good-faith questions or analysis, but rather knee-jerk "they'll ignore it"/"there are no consequences" pablum — you tell me that you (1) don't actually know what's happening and (2) aren't attempting to understand.
