It is all about the "Epstein class". The reason life is unaffordable is because all the increase in wealth is hoarded by the "Epstein class" which leads to corruption of our politics and the rise of Fascism.

The surveillance state. They will tell you what time it is.

What was the point of this take except to annoy me. What have you done today to fight back. This doesn't count.

Too right. Let’s test out mass surveillance but we need some sympathetic story to con you into agreeing.

Transparently manipulative.

Just saw a Ring ad to find lost dogs. But I am thinking you would have to agree to a lot more than searching for lost dogs. I am thinking you have to agree to ICE accessing your camera.

I can't argue with you on that. However, elsewhere I noted ICE has authority to enforce CIVIL immigration law, not CRIMINAL law of any kind. Ergo, there is no legal justification for them:

* to be armed.
* to be masked.

So they should be unmasked and not armed.

One reason crypto is bad is there is no recourse if your assets are stolen. Let's say by kidnapping someone and torturing them until they hand over the digital key. There is no way to force the return of the digital key.

ICE exists to enforce CIVIL immigration law, not CRIMINAL law of any kind. Ergo, there is no legal justification for them:

* to be armed.
* to be masked.
* to kidnap anyone they want when they require judicial warrants to make CIVIL arrests.
* to provide security for the Vice President, ever.

It just makes the independents and Republicans of the blue states turn against him. The story of his life is that he is so transactional that eventual nobody wants to do business with him.

He is such a waste of time.

Ok. Probably not the best idea. Or at least it is more complex than a simple take.

US Postal Inspectors are probably doing a job responsibly and are not killing people. ICE are so lawless in how they operate and seem to have no accountability.

Do it. But even better: impeach, convict and remove.

This would require Republicans to have a decent sense of ethics.

I would ban ICE from using "Police" patches. They aren't police in the sense we know local police forces. There jurisdiction is immigration and that is all.

Interesting theory. Is there any published piece that expands on this?

Only takes 22 Republicans to impeach, convict and remove.

6 Republican Representatives + 16 Republican Senators

04.02.2026 00:25 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

All we need is 23 Republicans and we can impeach, convict and remove.

Are there 23 Republicans who love the USA more than they fear Donald Trump?

Unfortunately they are the only option. So, I will endeavor to turn the Democratic Party into the party I want. It is slow and tedious but necessary.

What other path is there? A third party? That would just allow the Republicans to win forever.

Sorry. There is only the Democratic party. So I suggest you make it what you want it to be.

It would be wonderful if we could have a multiparty system and perhaps congressional rank choice voting might allow for a 3rd party in the House of Representatives but otherwise you are dreaming.

Every person in ICE + CBP has to be fired and the whole function rebuilt.

There has to be accountability for the gross misconduct, brutality, civil rights violations, assaults and murders conducted by these thugs.

There needs to be full accountability - investigate, prosecute and punishment.

Also, let's make their current policies against the law.
