liberals using the term "free world" to talk about white countries, and bemoaning how we are seen by white countries (when Black and Brown countries have always seen us as evil genocidal colonizers) is all I can see here.
even when liberals should be right, they manage to get it so so wrong.

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.
