It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE

This is pretty much where I am. Ya'll know that I'm more conservative than most of the folks here. But Trump v. United States changed things. An unaccountable president is a dictator. No fear of criminal prosecution for himself plus the pardon power equals the end of the Constitution.

yeah unfortunately the point at which security agents started manufacturing crimes to so they could arrest people to support the delusions of a single personalist ruler was the point at which the story stopped being silly heavy-handed metaphor and started being of real concern

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.
Senator Andy Kim runs into the street as an ICE armored vehicle behind him prepares to deploy chemical agents against protestors in front of Delaney Hall concentration camp in Newark, NJ. His hands are outstretched and he appears to be shouting.

Screenshot of a FOX BUSINESS article page with the headline “Sprawling new $200M White House ballroom to be paid for by Trump and donors.” Above it, the article is labeled “WHITE HOUSE” and “Published July 31, 2025 3:59pm EDT,” with the subheading “The new 90,000-square-foot addition will accommodate approximately 650 seated guests.” The byline reads “By Amanda Macias | FOXBusiness.” Below, an embedded video shows a blonde woman speaking at a White House press briefing podium, with a U.S. flag on the left and the White House backdrop behind her. Yellow video captions read, “President Trump and other donors have generously committed.” Under the video, a caption says “Trump and donors will pay for new $200M sprawling White House ballroom.”

The thing that people are also is missing is whether or not the shooting was real and unstaged, the regime THEMSELVES treated it like a staged event immediately after by using it to peddle a prepared speech about a ballroom. Whether or not it was real, THEY sold it to us for fake reasons.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:
NYT on Feb. 13, 2026:

The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises.

Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response.

“I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.NYT on March 16, 2026:

On Monday, Mr. Trump claimed that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way,” noting that President Emmanuel Macron of France would most likely help in the Strait of Hormuz and was an eight out of 10. “Not perfect, but it’s France,” he said.

Others are not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for his demands, he said.
