Private 'Bob':
I had to come. I wanted to see how a war was fought so badly.
Capt. Blackadder:
Well, you've certainly come to the right place. A war hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside.

PAM BONDI IS AN ANTI-TRUTH, ANTI-AMERICAN, FASCIST LYING CUNT - Just like liar Trump and his entire criminal cabinet. Criminal traitor Trump hires ONLY the most corrupt cronies who honor his Oath of "Loyalty" to HIM, INSTEAD of their Oath to our Constitution. ALL now spew DJT's Big Lies incessantly.

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

That's because "Jen K" never understood the character Boo Radley in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.
In the spirit of Jen K's 'Golden age' I'm going to use the language of the day and call her Thick.

If Dictator Bone Spurs is so mentally and physically fit, why does he have to keep trying to convince us? Hellur? Line one!

NBC so called "news" headline: Trump to get a 'routine year" medical check up--his second in 6 months. With a picture of grinning idiot Dictator Bone Spurs waving and some brain dead white woman looking bored behind him.

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs.
You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing & mistreating the immigrant, the poor, and the marginalized.

dear england,

If you're wondering what happens if reform does actually get elected to the HoC in big numbers, Finland says "Hei!". they did just that a few years ago. This is what happened 👇

As english politics leans even further to the right, with LAB now questioning the EHCR, alongside "Island of Strangers" & pro brexit rhetoric, here's a quick thread on how the Far Right utterly collapsed in Finland.

TL;DR: "r/w voters: I didn't think the leopards would eat MY face".
