Interesting that most of these ICE agents hide behind their balaclavas!
You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

Weasel of a man - let's set him off in a boat and declare war on sycophants wearing pink / red ties!
Unearthed 2016 video: Pete Hegseth straight up says US troops will not follow ‘unlawful orders’ from the commander-in-chief, and there have to be consequences for ‘abject war crimes’.

Guess it suddenly gets blurry when it’s Trump issuing the unlawful orders.

How do these sycophants in their pink ties sit there and listen to this bullshit?
RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

You gave me a laugh - thanks! Can I add the phrase "bear with me" - No, I don't want to bear with you. I've been waiting on the phone to speak to a human for a sodding hour!"
I hate the word "neurospicy" as much as I hate "holibobs" and "amazeballs"

If CBP, Customs and Border Protection, is only supposed to operate within 100 miles of the U.S. border, what are they doing leading operations in Charlotte, North Carolina?

A total plonker - encourage young people to work by paying them a fair wage. It's not rocket science, or perhaps it is!
YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.

God forbid!
Kinda seems like you don’t do huge renovations on the place you’re living in unless you’re planning to stay. 🤷🏼

Now.... let me think of a comparison - oh yes, Trump's new ballroom!
Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.
