        The ballot box is what brought us here. Every election for decades has resulted in more cops and more surveillance.

          We have more cops in America now per capita than nazi Germany had at the height of WWII, and that’s including all the gestapo, SS, and military police in the German count. DC has an enforcer with a gun and no consequences for every 60 people.

    His full phrase was

    “It all goes back to the Dems who want to continually attack ICE and tell people to evade them, tell people don’t comply, tell people to resist, and tell people ICE isn’t a real law enforcement,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.

    Umm, can we talk about that very last bit?

    Looks like a good justification for any interaction with ICE being an exercise in self defense. He just upended ICE’s legal basis for being held to be law abiding by any reasonable person. On top of being fascist, what an inept dipshit.

        I’m thinking more of

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Albemuth

        "The story is set in the late 1960s in an alternate reality of the United States. The country is ruled by Ferris F. Fremont, a psychopathic, paranoid president. Fremont has established a police state in which civil rights have been suspended. Everyone spies on everyone else, coordinated by the paramilitary youth organization FAP (Friends of the American People). Anyone who disobeys is branded a member of “Aramchek”—a communist underground organization presumably fabricated by the regime. "

    maybe this is a radical take, but i think it’s funny that they call someone ‘the border czar’ with a straight face and then he doesn’t even look like a hardass. he looks like some random fat dude that’s melting from age, wearing a likely expensive suit that gives the impression it’s an off the rack ensemble purchased at the men’s wearhouse at a steep discount.

    a perfect symbol for america.

    stop worrying about it. these people already lost.

    Jesus fucking Christ. The article is worse than I thought. “Our guys are scared for their lives! Even though we are the ones doing all the murdering, we will have to murder even more of you if you don’t start obeying us, though our instructions are clear as mud and we aren’t even following our own laws!”

            There is nothing on earth more whiny, hostile, and overly defensive than a white American liberal on the internet being told to back up their stated values with action.

      Obviously never going to happen, but i bet if the Dems did shut their mouth the bloodshed will continue as planned.

      I’m honestly surprised how meek the resistance has been. Would have expected a driveby or two at least somewhere at some point over the last 2 years. Nope! No randos have just gone up to an ICE guy and popped them in the head. Makes sense for Stepford, but ICE in the hood?

    “I’m scared to death because assaults with vehicles are sky high. There’s been a lot of shootings. I’m scared to death that one of these days, our ICE officers aren’t going to be quick enough. The bad guys can be quicker,” Homan told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham Wednesday night.

      It was self defense. I got in front of the car and it was slowly moving in my general direction. My legs suddenly stopped working so I wouldn’t be able to get out of the way if the car suddenly accelerated and my only option was to preemptively shoot to kill.
