The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

This is why officers are required by law to have a badge with an identifying number prominently displayed on their uniform, not an emroidered patch in the shape of a badge.

When law enforcement does not abide by the law, what are they enforcing?

I love how they always assume there will be some UBI to cover those who they actively fucked out of a job, while trying to pay as little taxes as possible (like all corporations)

As the mask slips, it's grifters grifting grifters as far as the eye can see.

The old phrase, "You can't cheat an honest man", comes to mind.

Our current administration has endeavored to drain the swamp... of honest men.

As an American with a soul and a spine, this administration's treatment of our allies is an embarassment.

Shortly after WWII an Austrian immigrant found a flaw in the process of ammending the constitution, which over enough iterations could slowly turn the democratic republic into a dictatorship legally. Sound like a published 'Project'? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6...

Bernie has been a member of congress long enough to have opposed the vote on NAFTA. His clear eyed take on how H1B has allowed corps to import a low wage workforce without workplace rights of citizens is sobering. Worth the listen.
