ICE , Miller, Mullin and Homan are all perfect examples of what American democracy is NOT! Our Constitution does not allow for a Gestopo like organization to exist on American streets and neighborhoods!

Schmitt: "Did you attend a Hawks game on February 3rd?" Smith: "That is incorrect. I was in Hollywood attending a dinner gathering at the home of actor Ethan Hawke." Schmitt: "AHA! WE GOT YOU!"

As a rule, criminals aren't known for their towering intellect, and as we all know, the terms "criminal" and "Republican" are now more or less interchangeable. Their leader is a convicted fraudster and adjudicated rapist; do we really expect moral behaviour from these people? Thirty-four days.

“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
