DEAR ICE: Your agents are little fkn pussies who hide behind masks, and assault women and children. You have a boss who is a felon-rapist-pedophile and you report to a barbie bitch who looks like a hooker playing dress-up and shoots dogs.

They’ve decided free speech is no longer an asset and want to stop our rights.
They’ve taken a blow torch to the Constitution.
We no longer have a DOJ or SCOTUS that act independently.
Lower courts no longer have the power.
This was long planned and now implementing via their useful idiot.

The Trump cult is pulling out all the stops to depict the No Kings protests as a terrorist rally. This is really despicable. Why do they hate Americans who exercise the First Amendment freedoms?

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

I don't have the bandwidth to make this case explicit. But today, Todd Bessent put Frank Bisignano in charge of IRS, in addition to Social Security.

Bisignano, at Social Security, gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data.

Now he's in charge of IRS.
