To me this quote from HistoryBoomer on Substack encapsulates my feelings.
" In the end, this is a tragedy of bad choices."
I want our public servants to make better choices. They take my taxes. Least I can expect. But I don't want to try to provide a detailed "how to improve your public policy" to this administration because, bluntly, that is NOT their goal. Their objective is to terrorize. It is to create viral moments. It is to trigger the reptilian brains (some on this site) who want to hurt people and enjoy the visceral joy as someone ****s around and finds out.
How do I know this with 100% certainty and clarity?
Because it has been a ****ing year and ICE STILL is not in matching uniforms!!!!Go watch ANY police action by a mid to large city police force. You know what you DO NOT SEE. You do not see a hodge podge of crap that looks like they have been cos playing milita guys firing paint ball rounds in the woods. And yet 12 months after swearing in and making this the signature domestic agenda item ICE can not be outfitted in matching uninforms with clearly identified markings and seem to love triggering the libtards with their Dick's sporting goods head coverings. It is INTENTIALLY amatuer hour. And bluntly it pisses me off to no end that there are those on the right, including on this board, that can't put down their keyboards for an instant and say "I am not giving up by beliefs but yeah - the administration needs to pause and get this professionalized cause otherwise it is cruelty for cruelty's sake" They might also stop thinking that 100,000 people in the twin cities are all on SOROS' payroll and actually are motivated by legitimate concerns. It is so dismissive and ****ing condescending. I am so tired of reading that crap.
PS. And you know this. Go look at these videos. I have a life so I haven't spent dozens of hours in slow mo but I can not tell
1) Which cars are ICE and which are not.
2) All the ICE agents. I mean I get who MOST are but I also know in the upper midwest in Winter there are regular people who wear camo cause it is the warmest jacket they have and a real man must ALWAYS be ready to go out for deer hunting.
3) the main group you can pick out is a bunch of guys, on a suburban street hanging out with tactical weapons (loaded I am sure) talking about the Vikings. I mean what the **** are they doing that for? Even if you say picking up the sex offender you pick him up. You don't pick him up. You leave. Why are they their for an extended period of time unless to cause a scene and terrorize. I am so done with ICE.
Take care of your Chicken
