I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism.  #holdfast

Trump Declares Fentanyl To Be A ‘Weapon Of Mass Destruction’ So He Can Get Back To Boat Strikes And Martial Law
There is no doubt that fentanyl is a dangerous drug. It has long since surpassed heroin on the list of drugs people only do once. That its prevalence has more to do with pharma companies irresponsibly pushing opioids than drug pushers pushing a new drug often goes ignored during this heated, ongoing debate that is often so far removed from reality as to be literally laughable.

It's the guns. It's always the guns.
Shootings like the one at Brown University are political inconveniences for Republicans.

And one of the most aggravating elements of the so-called debate over gun violence is the despicable falsehood pushed by conservatives:

They are coming to confiscate your guns.
The most despicable lie from the guns-over-all gang
No, they're not coming for your guns.
