I was watching an old Johnny Carson show from the 80s and he had a monologue joke essentially about Andrew looking for a new underage girlfriend. They knew he was a predator and creep way back then.

Why is "Abolish ICE" something the Democrat leadership feels is a bridge too far? They didn't have a problem abolishing the INS in 2003 and creating a new agency. (Hint: the new agency was ICE).
