Obama Death panels (a made up thing) are tyranny, but Trump Death Squads are cool and good actually.
there are a distinctions between ICE and local police departments but a reminder that Trump also wants to incentivize local police to be just as brutal as his militarized federal officers: www.foxnews.com/media/trump-...

Yes I’m intentionally linking that lol.

maybe this makes me weird but when someone who irritates me goes out into the world and does a good thing, I find that to be a good thing

if everyone i found annoying was standing up to fight this, the enemy would have no chance at all

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

The comments on this video from a little over a year ago from dummies and bots just outright lying to themselves.

Also I had to remind myself that not much time has passed from this because dude is spoiling like deli meat in a hot car.

Bill really gets down to the most critical problems of modern day life: too many people are paying off their mortgages early and hurting the lenders.
Lmfao what an awesome proposal. One reason you need a 90% income tax rate at this level is these guys are too stupid to have the amount of power they do. Like giving a glock to a 4 year old

Should they have cared about all this before now? Yes.

Did you reach the right position before them? Sure, here's a gold star.

Do we need their numbers to make this work? Yes. Please stop acting like the hipster who knew about this band before anyone else. We actually do need the normies.

There's no coherent argument for invading or buying Greenland, and when Trump tried to say one to NYTimes it came out as gibberish from a condo salesman about the pride of ownership.

It's basically the same as declaring war on Germany to "own" Ramstein Air Base. No upside, immense downside.
The Greenland fixation feels like a personal insult to anyone who's spent more than about five minutes thinking about national security. "Hey, let's demolish our most valuable alliance so we can get get access to arctic territory we already have access to!"

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants
Because he put himself in front of the car to have an excuse to shoot!

When Vichy liberal fucks say ICE just needs more training, *this guy* is literally the person that would be doing that training.

NEW: Jonathan Ross is former National Guard and Border Patrol and has been part of ICE's SWAT equivalent, a team leader overseeing FBI, ATF, and IRS agents, and a firearms instructor, according to testimony obtained by WIRED. This is from @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:
ICE Agent Who Reportedly Shot Renee Good Was a Firearms Trainer, Per Testimony
Jonathan Ross told a federal court in December about his professional background, including “hundreds” of encounters with drivers during enforcement actions, according to testimony obtained by WIRED.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.

Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.
