You won’t get back the hours of your life spent watching folks on TV talk about Trump’s trials and how he was finally gonna be held accountable. Or how DOJ was gonna save the day. Trump was NEVER gonna be held accountable. The system was designed to help men like him go free.
Trump is to accountability what Orson Welles was to Pole vaulting

ICE once again gets caught in a lie. They claimed the passenger was injured in vehicle that was attacking them. Turns out, the passenger was with ICE when they were injured. We can never believe these thugs.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.

Some context: it took me almost a year and multiple applications to get a GS-5 ($34K annual salary) clerk job at the Department of Veterans Affairs. At the time, I had an MBA and a decade of management experience.
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

It's been well over three weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."
