Aside from the open Nazi shit aspect, it’s striking that this is not the thing you say when your ethnic cleansing is going well. Like every ICE agent knows that DOJ can’t indict a ham sandwich right now. Miller thinks he can scare people because he’s been huffing his own farts for the past year
Explain to me like I'm five what the 2nd Amendment is for if not for this. King George III never said anything this obnoxious or deliberately inflammatory.

I'm sorry! I’m a technology writer, which means I’m supposed to be encouraging you to throw hundreds of billions of dollars at the money-losingest technology in human history, AI. No one has ever lost as much money as the AI companies.
Sorry, eh
I sincerely regret that all my ideas will not lose billions of dollars, destroy jobs or make your country more dependent on American tech.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.
