Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

By day and night he wrongs me, every hour
He flashes into one gross crime or other
That sets us all at odds. I’ll not endure it.
His knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us
On every trifle.

Using the Nobel Peace Prize as currency to purchase a chance to be proxy dictator under the thumb of a fascist megalomaniac who just invaded your home country so he can rob your fellow citizens of their well-being and natural resources is pretty, I don't know, next-level WTF.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

I like the idea of ignoring the president and instead directing all attention to Miller and Vought. It will make him jealous, perhaps enough to sideline them. A few well-timed "President Vought said" or "President Miller said" quotes should do it.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.
