    With Democrats like these, you may as well vote PSL, Green, or DSA.

    “They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement,” an unnamed source told the liberal magazine. “They want this to go away…"

    Spoken like a true pussy, I mean democrat.

      But this not what ice is. They aren’t law enforcement. That’s the problem, too.

      They are immigration and customs enforcement officers.

      And… we should be whittling their budget

      Doesn’t matter they will get labeled something else. ICE is terrorizing MN law enforcement and the right doesn’t care. Insurrectionists terrorizing law enforcement on Jan 6, the right didn’t care. ICE is not a classic law enforcement agency anyway. These people are idiots and likely just making shit up.

          Martial law will be declared in October, so the government will be very prepared for the small number of people who get angry.

      Exactly. Democratic policies work (most of the sometimes)… it’s just democrats have no fucking backbone, no balls to demand things to get their policies enacted like republicans do. Republican policies fail miserably and royally fuck everything up. Grow a fucking pair, dems… be the change you want to see in the world.

    Cowards, yes, but what are they afraid of?

    Oh, right, losing power. Personally. They’re afraid of losing their own power. It’s power that defines their self-image, and without that, they are nothing. They’re “just like everyone else”. Just like the poors. Nothing special. And, they so need to be special little boys and girls.

      I bet they’re also at least a little afraid of getting harassed by LEOs because they’re not “pro-police” enough.
