Do you suppose ICE feels heroic, arresting a dad at a preschool?

What pieces of shit.

I saw a guy a the supermarket & thought he was kinda sketchy. I waited, followed from a distance outside. I sat in my truck for a spell & decided that I needed to do what needed being done. I went out and ruined their presentation. I’m a pretty large man 6’3 & pushing 300. Fuck these incompetent undisciplined tools of the state. Follow ice home one at a time. Do what needs doing even if there is collateral. It’s tough but it’s honestly them or us. That is the cost of war. By golly we are in it.

How did you ruin their presentation? I'm not sure what you mean by that.

[–] federated_toast@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Well obviously the ice agent was just reading directly off the slides and didn't know the material so as long as you ask the right questions you can catch them off guard and make them look completely unprepared.

Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, condemned the arrest.

This is the same woman who voted against impeaching Trump a week or two ago.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 1 points 27 minutes ago (1 children)

Any attempt to impeach at this current moment is an empty protest vote. Backing or not backing these theatrical attempts means nothing.

🙄

The neverending excuses for why Democrats can't or shouldn't ever do anything except support this fascist regime are getting quite old.

Add the vote to the pile then, I guess. Next week it can be another Democrat's turn to vacuously talk as if their specific vote will achieve something in a body they don't control.

They should stand up, speak out, and work on actual opposition. This is just chum for the cameras while they wait for midterms that may or may not happen.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 1 points 39 seconds ago

Wait for midterms where they'll take control and then claim we need "healing" and to "put this all behind us" by just ignoring the bullshit we've been seeing over the last decade like they've done so many times before? They're a joke of a party and only exist to act as controlled opposition.

This specific congresswoman loves to blow people's phones up asking for donations to help fight Trump yet when it comes time to put her money where her mouth is, she sides with the Republicans. Your defeatist bullshit attitude is exactly why these people feel comfortable openly engaging in illegal and unethical behavior because they know people like you will always make excuses for them. Saying they should do nothing, support his bullshit policies for now, and wait til some indeterminate future date before holding him or anyone else accountable is so ridiculous and overused at this point you should feel embarrassed for continuing to use it. We can see right through this bullshit.

Define "impeaching Trump" though.

  • He won't be removed.
  • His support increased.
  • His base galvanized behind him.
  • Used money, time, political will to achieve a number. An asterisk next to a name.

The data says impeaching Trump helps Trump. And reality defines impeachment as a waste of time. And Trump is faltering so it makes little sense to help him.

Unless you're a Democrat that just goes on vibes and clout. People are out here farming karma on bills with zero chance to pass while more considerate politicians look bad for not playing a stupid move.

Same tired excuses for why nothing good ever comes from Democrats. The same excuses as to why this man was never tried and convicted in federal court and why despite receiving 34 state felony convictions, he never spent a single day in jail. At this point it looks like Democrats and their sycophants are outright helping the Trump administration achieve all their goals.
