Hey, Microsoft: Are You Guys Also Cool With DHS And Trump Using ‘Halo’ Imagery For Fascism?
Earlier this year, I wrote about how ICE had decided to publish a horrifying recruitment video that mixed in footage of ICE raids, including one that got Kristi Noem in some hot water, along with the introduction to the Pokémon animated series, complete with the theme music behind it. The video itself wasn't terribly surprising. ICE is filled with, and run by, terrible people and their decision to liken illegal immigrants in America to fantasy animals fit only for capture and vicarious battle is simply par for the course.

shocking. Someone orchestrated this. Miller/Bannon my guesses. Indict, to instill fear, threaten to soften the ground and then use the budget as a weapon against us. Trump isnt coherent enough anymore. Theyre rushing because he’s 😵 We bare the consequences they don’t of this nonsense
Ohhhh boy... I was thinking it's not Schumer's fault this time, but this makes A LOT of sense: calling in favors, picking soon-to-be retirees to do his dirty work while he hangs on to power. JFC. That's so underhanded it has to be it. I'm feeling fownright stabby right now.

Check me on this. Trump threatens dem Congress members. Shut down.
Trump says he needs 8 -10 Dems to vote yes. Schumer appoints 8 Dems who are retiring or just won elections,
those 8 vote yes and Trump isn’t yammering about metal bracelets. This where we are in America. He controls both parties
