Emphasis should be on that “if,” because it’s entirely possible the Trump administration is just making shit up and hoping they can bully small town cops who have fewer resources (and probably have been sloppy on their paperwork for years)

Also, Cosette Shachnow (the attorney here who attempted to hide her identity) left it on her LinkedIn that she works for ICE. We can’t always count on them to be that stupid, but critical thinking really doesn’t come naturally to Nazis.

Dems need to help Americans directly

The way they fell all over themselves to kill stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment as quickly as possible in 2021 was super telling, there’s a lot of Dems that fear empowering working class people more than anything so they’re constantly trying to route government money through state agencies or nonprofits or businesses to make sure “responsible” people get to set conditions on things poor people need to survive

Steelmaking is essential.

If that’s the case we should nationalize it and quit giving taxpayer money to these billion dollars leeches

it was a good investment by the Biden administration.

No, it was naked corruption in the face of rising fascism that moderate Dems were too busy giving kickbacks to their friends to effectively prevent

The idea of SCOTUS being any kind of impartial arbiter of justice has been made into a complete joke because of bullshit like this and too many other incidents for me to count. Whenever we get the corrupt bastards off that court they are going to have to overturn so much garbage from the past 20 years or so.

All of this, plus I hope they enjoy retirements of either being fugitives from justice or stuck in prison cells

Has she apologized for supporting Harris in the past? Condemned Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians?

She might be the best option in this race, but there have been way too many times in the past twenty years where a progressive who blew up overnight and scored an “upset” win turned out to just be another establishment shill all along.

Or he could pull some truly inhumane and unconditional stunt to deflect attention from his inability to get trade deals, or his inability to get stop Russia’s war on Ukraine, or from how FEMA bungled the Texas floods on his watch or etc., or he might do something truly inhumane just because he’s Donald Trump and he wants to

Pro-ICE Dems like Elisa Slotkin will do their damndest to make sure it doesn’t if we let them

I am 100% against giving Republicans political sovereignty and adjacent territory.

We don’t need to be changing the minds of xenophobic fucks but we do need to take their political power. Red state governments can and will cause problems for you no matter where you live.

That would just multiply the amount of inflammatory incidents we would start by fifty

You really don’t think it’s relevant to this story that the president who said he wanted to fund the police in his first state of the union address signed a law that allowed these Republicans to waste federal money on stupid cop bullshit? It’s basically guaranteed that if any staffers inside his administration had tried to stop this county or anyone else from wasting this money on stupid cop bullshit they would’ve been fired on the spot because Biden thought “funding the police” was a political winner.

Stop whining about the past and work for a better future.

This is basically what Greg Abbott and all the Republicans have been saying about this with their “finger pointing is for losers” bullshit, and they’re wrong too. Until more people understand our past and understand that there are a lot of shitty Democratic party members who make the damage the Republican party is able to inflict on all of us worse who need to be removed from political influence our future is fucked.

Same, I think we just got ratio’d

“Only a bad person would ask a question like that, to be honest with you,” the president said

For real, he is such a weakling, even when he’s throwing his little hissy fit here he’s reflexively couching it in the “I’m just being ‘honest’ with you so you’re not allowed to get mad at me for being a dick” thing

Also, “bad person,” he talks like a five year old

I for one am shocked that Joe “fund the police” Biden signed a law that allowed for federal money to be wasted on cop bullshit! Gosh, if only someone has told us there were better ways to protect public safety. Like maybe some protesters or activists somewhere could have said something? I’m sure we would have listened to them and taken them seriously, and we definitely would not have tear gassed them and beat them and shot them with rubber bullets and etc.

Me, bitter? Nooo /s

Bongino is out of control furious,” the person who has spoken with the deputy FBI director said. “This destroyed his career.

“You guys! I had a whole true crime podcast I was gonna do, we already picked out theme music and I hired a photographer to take pictures of me looking grim for the show logo, and you’re ruining everything!” - Bongino (actually)

“Donald Trump said we’re being invaded, who are we to judge?” - six supreme court judges (basically)

I recently spoke with a dozen current and former ICE agents and officers about morale at the agency since Trump took office. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity, for fear of losing their job or being subjected to a polygraph exam. They described varying levels of dissatisfaction but weren’t looking to complain or expecting sympathy—certainly not at a time when many Americans have been disturbed by video clips of masked and hooded officers seizing immigrants who were not engaged in any obvious criminal behavior. The frustration isn’t yet producing mass resignations or major internal protests, but the officers and agents described a workforce on edge, vilified by broad swaths of the public and bullied by Trump officials demanding more and more.

“We’re upset, but not enough to actually do a damn thing about it” what even is this news story even about, there’s like not a single tangible thing happening here other than the author’s projected feelings about ICE agents. Like, they “weren’t looking to complain or expecting sympathy” bro you just printed an article full of their complaints, you are just fanfic-ing out loud here.

Man, It sucks so hard that a magazine founded by radical slavery abolitionists got taken over by dipshits who think they need to spend so much of their time and effort trying to flatter the far right.

The sad part is this is how the Biden administration actually thought. They could have restricted these funds from being wasted on stupid bullshit but instead did the moderate Dem thing and just let douchebag Republicans do whatever the hell they want so they could campaign on how bipartisan they were. At the end of the day, nobody in a position of power gave a shit about the safety of these people.

Seems like your efforts would be better spent focusing on the dozen or so Democratic campaign consultants and politicians who convinced those 2.5 million to stay home. Unless you’re willing to give up on the whole democracy thing and just impose the leadership you think we need on voters like Lenin or something.
