It doesn't matter how many workers Trump cusses at, we can all see he is the president who protects pedophiles.
And we all know the Epstein files contain proof that he is a pedophile himself.

Read the whole thread. The analogy is perfect.
Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.
Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

Today at 34 and Park in Minneapolis.
This woman tried to drive down the street where ICE was raiding a home.
She told them she had a doctor appointment to get to.
They busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, violently dragged her out, and cuffed her.

If a federal agent tries to assault you, just scream "JOE BIDEN STOLE THE 2020 ELECTION"
It's apparently like an Uno Reverse card. Now *you* get to assault the cops without any penalty. Beat them with a flagpole, use mace or bear spray on them, whatever.
I'm sure the lawyers here will back me up.

the problem with the gestapo was not that they needed more training.
Jonathan Ross was a firearms trainer and led a team that included multiple federal agencies. All this training didn't stop him from shooting Renee Nicole Good. His training *facilitated* the shooting.
No amount of training will solve the problem that ICE is a violent ethnic cleansing squad.

Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained."
This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.
