Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

At this point I'm pretty much 100% convinced that becoming that rich *requires* being an awful person, and being that rich *makes* people awful (or more awful than they already were).
Are there exceptions? Maybe some entertainer? I don't know. And I don't care. They'll be fine with mere millions.

...if at least some of those "fuck yous" and at least some of that energy isn't directed at the billionaires themselves, and the system they're both cause and effect of, we're just going to end up back here (or somewhere worse) again very soon.

Electing him was a massive unforced error the first time, and somehow -- mostly via institutional inertia -- the worst outcomes were avoided.
So we as a nation decided to double-down.

Or just middle-age or older white guys with wraparound shades &/or polo shirts and blazers.

I know some people IRL that truly believe this. One in particular is actually a smart and very decent person, just spends too much time online in a bubble of a very specific type of leftist. I think some of the accounts he follows might be bad faith operatives but he isn't.

All the most prestigious boards can't do grammar good.

As if "making America safe" is among the things Patel gives a shit about.

How long until ICE starts wearing yellow vests too, just to confuse people?
