Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Noem, Vance... They all know that the American people has grown cowardly, mired in a need for comfort, infantilized by an impotent Congress, paralyzed by a stale, sclerotic Constitution. They know you may have a march here, a protest there, and no more. They know it.

Is it Melania telling him to do it? Is it Miller? Has the geriatric fuck decided this on his own? Is anybody at the helm anymore?
President Donald Trump and his top lieutenants are doubling down on their hardline immigration policies and rhetoric following the shooting of a US citizen by federal officers in Minneapolis — even as the incident has revealed cracks in the president’s coalition. https://cnn.it/4qHPePb

"Starting to"... *smdh
As Minneapolis reels from the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, some Republicans are starting to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
‘It needs to end.’ Some Republicans break from Trump on immigration surge after Minneapolis shooting
It’s a sign some in the GOP view the current crackdown as a political problem, especially in the suburbs.

STFU with your impeachments. They're like a band-aid on a cancer lesion.
Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen is calling for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, saying that she believes Noem is attempting to "mislead the American public” about the fatal shooting of a 37 year-old protester in Minneapolis.

Congress will never save the American people at this point. You'll have to rise up and do this on your own.
So.
To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.
Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.
ABOLISHED.
Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

If any of you want to fully "get" what political chaos, political brutality, and state-sanctioned killings do to people, read *Human Acts* by Han Kang, Korean 2024 Nobel Prize for Literature. Best novel I've read on state-imposed violence and trauma.
