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

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.

The Democratic party’s leadership makes that much more difficult than it needs to be and they will keep blowing winnable elections for the rest of us until they are removed from power

That second sentence deserves its full context

Another uniformed ICE agent stepped out of an unmarked police van at 11:53 a.m. and pointed a matte black rifle at protestors and press, including this reporter, screaming “Get the fuck back!” An SFPD officer stood by and watched from a distance.

I will support him until the day I die.

I bet she would have at least a few doubts in the final moments if things go according to Stephen Miller’s plans

I’m sure he’s the only person in venture capital with extremely bigoted views and that there is nothing about working in the industry itself that ruins people’s brains while also giving them the power to ruin all of our lives /s

I don’t think it’s by design, I think they’re arrogant idiots who thought deporting tens of millions of people would be an easy thing to do, but I think the end result is that they’re making concentration camps and slave just like you say, which puts our genocide doomsday clock at about 11:59.

A couple of decades in the future the addition of “Presidented” to American English (verb: to arbitrarily make a declaration or issue an order, implicitly illegally) will really confuse things

Imagine thinking Brian Tarbell Brian gets to decide

Its gratingly bad.

Completely agreed

people today do not understand good music anymore.

I don’t think that’s anymore true than it’s always been, we just have a biased impression of the past because the best stuff from that period stays in rotation, but there was plenty of chart topping crap back then too

Bad covers are frustrating, but I love a good cover where an artist is able to highlight what’s different about their approach to music and also pay a bit of respect to a songwriter they like

Because it’s the best written song they’ve ever performed (because they didn’t write it)
