    Alex Jones just had a caller that was asking how to get his undocumented wife on the list of the “good ones.”

    No need to abolish ICE, just return it to what it was in 2015 or so.

    We don’t need essentially a whole new authoritarian police with more funding than any other such agency ever and more than two branches of the military, with ability to grab anyone at all with impunity (no due process required if they claim to think the target is not a citizen) and seemingly working to be able to also remove citizenship formally from people.

      So we should have let the Republican win?

      How the fuck are we still this stupid?

      It’s the same dumb ass “Democrats aren’t doing enough for Palestine, so I’m not voting for them” bullshit even after we’ve seen time and time again how that works out.

      Take a look around at your actual options. Those are the choices. Not some mythical candid in your head. They have to be on the actual fucking ballot and not just in your dreams.

      Also, Fuck Fetterman. He’s a selfish, backstabbing piece of shit. This isn’t about defending him. It was still the least shitty choice. That’s where we are.

      I was honestly excited to vote for him. I had a bumper sticker, which is something I hadn’t done since Kucinich.

      Gisele should primary him.

    Abolish fetterman, he’s a lunatic and pathological liar. He only won his seat cause he ran a fake campaign as a Democrat then dramatically pulled a u turn on us.

    Also he dresses like a slob, grow up fAtterman

      I don’t think he ran a fake campaign, I think he had a stroke and it changed his personality. We don’t realize how much our brains create who we are.

        I mean he was already a nepo baby prick pretending to be blue collar. And he very clearly had issues with people of color and firearms.

        But I think the stroke made him feel more emboldened to not have to listen to others or made him more over confident in his own mental fortitude. It sure makes it look like he never intended to actually help anyone, and I think he would have just hid it better pre-stroke.

      I’m 100% with ya until the dressing part. I don’t care how people dress as long as they get the job done (see Zelensky). Now, he is a fuckwad for running on one platform and flipping to the other, but that’s unrelated to his dress code. I remember thinking he was a good one for not giving a shit about appearances and only about making people’s lives better.

        Zelensky’s outfit is very deliberate. Before the war he was clean shaven and wearing full suits like any other national leader. His beard is short, but groomed, and he typically wears fatigues or hoodies. In either outfit, his clothes are in excellent condition. It’s a good balance between looking professional and showing his people that he’s right there with them.

          I say this as someone with a lot of experience diagnosing and treating strokes…

          You’d be surprised how cruel and violent some people can become after them.

          I’ve seen the sweetest little grandma turn into a full on support for genocide nazi after one. More than once.

          I don’t know enough about Fetterman’s past to make a judgement on how his stroke affected him, but you totally could. Brain damage can fundamentally change who you are as a person on every level, from memory to logic, or even spirituality. It can change or entirely destroy your ability to feel empathy, damping some emotions while amping up others. Strokes that fundamentally change personality like that are rare, but certainly not outside the realm of possibility.

              Phineas Gage if anyone wants to look the case up. Classic psychology and neurology tale.

              Of course this happened before modern scientific standards and procedures were mainstream, so take everything with a grain of salt.

          Strokes can break your brain and fundamentally change your personality and values. Idk if that actually happened here or if he was always actually a piece of shit. It doesn’t matter ultimately. He’s a shithead now.

      Every “conservative” is a closet narcissist. The only difference is they now feel comfortable tearing the mask off and no longer hiding behind the presumption they possess empathy or want what’s best for other people.

    ICE is a bunch of cowards. If they were really removing violent and scary undocumented immigrants who break the law and don’t pay taxes, you’d hear about more shootouts with ICE. Instead, it’s farmers and young families who are working, or their kids. It’s such a pity such these cowards got such a huge funding bump.

      Fuck ICE. The people that sign up for that sham of an organization peaked in high school and are mad at the world because of their irrelevance. Nobody loves or cares for these people. They exist to inflict pain to fill a void where a personality, ambitions, and empathy should be. They have nothing to give or contribute to the world.
