Just like to say that it took me NINE MONTHS, two interviews, and an in-person background check to get hired at the Social Security Administration.
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Wait wait, we can't let DC or Puerto Rico into the club because they'll vote Blue but somehow Representative Fine thinks that the good people of Greenland will be clamoring to join the GOP after we've kidnapped their country?
I would like some of whatever he's having.

A House Republican today introduced legislation that would give President Trump the authority to annex Greenland and turn it into a U.S. state.

The bill would authorize Trump to take "such steps as may be necessary" to take control of the island territory.

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now?
Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests
FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests?
Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

Do you know how badass Minnesota is?
They have a Virginia flag captured at Gettysburg, and refuse to return it. VA keeps asking, and MN keeps requesting to know why they want a Confederate flag so badly.
"Why (would we return it)? I mean, we won." - Gov. Ventura
MN keeps it hidden in a drawer.

So far the silver lining of 2026 is that I have almost completely forgotten about Climate Change, because I'm too busy worrying out about if the country will last the rest of the week.

Had to check this morning to see if my life insurance would pay out if I was brutally gunned down by a federal agent. Answer is maybe, but definitely an uphill battle.
fuck this country.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

You know how we can be sure that the people next to Trump are not qualified to be there?
Because anyone with a general knowledge of history knows what the fate of politicians/sycophants to a fascist dictator is when he's deposed.

Exactly. If Hegseth can do this to a sitting Senator, your average retired officer has no protection at all. Absolutely disgusting to intimidate veterans who have served two decades or more.
This is designed to have a chilling effect on all retired service members. The message is that if you speak out, you risk your retirement pay.

At this point, can we just move back to having independent states and a weak federal government? I never thought I would Team State's Rights but the GOP is making me a fan in all the worst ways.

Dominion has already sunk $9 billion into this project. I live just a few miles from the dock where they load all the turbines onto the ship and it is constantly full of parts. There is no way Dominion just walks away from this investment.
Dominion Energy is suing to block the Trump administration order halting work on its wind farm 27 miles off the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.
