Don't Say "Enola Gay!"

The ICEmen were presumably looking for undocumented immigrants. Retes’s driver’s license, which he says the ICEmen never asked to see, identifies him as “Veteran Army.” His license plate includes “DV”: disabled veteran. While ICE’s warriors were trying and ultimately succeeding in smashing his driver’s-side window (the better to pepper spray him), they apparently did not notice his rear window’s “Iraq Combat Veteran” sticker.

to those who don't...I don't know what to say except you've really lost your way.

“Trump’s talent is finding wormholes in the system that he can exploit for his own satisfaction or financial gain — things that are not specifically outlawed because it never occurred to the founders or anyone else that a lowlife could rise so high.”

East Wing of the White House gets torn down without approval and not a peep from Republicans.

Tear down a confederate statue, though, and you’re “destroying history!”

Kinda tells you what side they’re still on.

the way Trump and his administration keep going on livestreams and tv to laugh about this, I can’t really compare it to anything political that comes to mind, only thing that comes to mind rn is a serial killer who writes letter taunting family of their victim.

When Trump raced in to tear down the Bonwit Teller building in Manhattan, in order to put up Trump Tower, he hired illegal immigrants.

They were called the Polish Brigade.

And yes, of course Trump stiffed them.

Man, fuck these opportunistic unprincipled motherfuckers. Always advising Democrats to throw vulnerable people to the wolves for political benefit.
