We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.

This meme from the White House is from a neo-Nazi book that promotes antisemitic conspiracies and praises Hitler as being right.

The main problem isn’t that ICE is poorly trained, as bad as that is. The problem with ICE is the miscreants being recruited and the orders they have been given.
The problem is that ICE is akin to the SA in Nazi Germany. Training ICE better better, under this regime, would just turn it into the SS.
