The United States needs a department like ICE

No, they fucking don't.

What the US needs to do is fix its broken as fuck immigration system. That's what's creating the vast, VAST majority of the problem in the first place. For fuck's sake, it can take decades to obtain citizenship, and that's if you're one of the lucky ones who doesn't just get lost in limbo for reasons.

America should be thanking the people who want to come here to go to school, to find work, or just to live the "American Dream" (TM). Instead, we ended up with a whole bunch of nazis doing fucking nazi shit like tear gassing, hog tying, and frog marching 6 year olds into the back of an unmarked van.

We don't need ICE. What we need is way fewer nazis.

I'm conflicted on this. On the one hand, I love the idea of a stupid tax. On the other, I hate the idea of Trump getting all the money the stupid tax generates.

Jeez, you know? It's almost like the compulsive liar you dipshits elected is... lying? Wow! Who woulda thunk it?

Reminds me of this poem from Carl Sandburg:

With at least 70% of us living paycheck to paycheck, and 48% of us having $1,000 or less in savings, I don't think that a national strike is likely. I agree that it would be by far the most impactful thing we could collectively do, but hell - at least half of us are one missed paycheck away from homelessness, and America really fucking hates the homeless. Combine that with the fact that most people get their family health insurance from their job, and the fact that our Senate just voted to practically obliterate medicare / medicaid, and you get an extra level of devastating consequences for losing your job. And people would lose their jobs. Even if a significant amount of people are participating in the nation-wide strike, employers would be very heavy-handed with the dismissals. I just don't think that it's in the cards for us.

Good. I'm glad he's living in fear. Fuck Tom Homan.

Awesome! I'm currently pursuing a biochemistry degree with the goal of working in the cultivated meat industry, so this is super exciting to me! It seems the process is still too clunky for effective mass production, unfortunately. But hey - maybe that's a problem I'll be able to help solve!

Squirrel could be fat because OOP keeps putting whole avocados in their trash...

I have no idea how you managed to read OP's post and fuck up the comprehension of it so badly, especially considering that OP put their point in the first fucking paragraph and even bolded it for you:

If you voted for Trump and your friends and family cut you off because of it, then I do not feel any sympathy for you.

How does this ^ have anything whatsoever to do with your off-the-wall crazy-ass interpretation?

 

It truly is impressive how thoroughly Israel has dominated US politics. Like, Russia may have had a huge victory by getting Trump elected, but they don’t have shit on Israel. Hell, something like 60% of our elected representatives have received donations from AIPAC, and that’s just the stuff that’s part of the public record!
