Commenting on the disappearing by the Trump administration of Andry José Hernández Romero and Neri Alvarado, Greg Olear says,

"You know, those people are gone. So this is horrifying. And it speaks to where this is headed, because the longer that they do this kind of thing without any repercussions, the more they’re going to push it and start rounding up other people also."

Homan, who describes himself as a "lifelong Catholic" and "devout Mass-goer," has told Pope Francis to mind his business and stick to religion — to butt out of Holman's business with immigrants.

Trump's media guru Karoline Leavitt, who lied boldly about disappearing of immigrants this week, is another lifelong Catholic schooled from grade school through college in Catholic schools. She describes herself as an ardently "pro-life" Catholic.

"Well, we can all see that that cherished assumption has not held against the rise of an entranced cult, 77 million voters unleashing the hounds, a right-wing Supreme Court supermajority immunizing a felonious president and supporting oligarchy, and a Republican-controlled Congress that has abandoned its duty to the rule of law, the Constitution and sanity itself."
