    3, 2, ignition!, 1…we have liftoff! Liftoff of the first Fully human powered rocket to the National Pride USA USA ICE space station! Try to say that five times Bob! That’s right Stacy! The rocket outputs the entire population of Git-mo every 3 seconds! This country is blessed with perfectly combustible …Bob sorry to interrupt, but we’re entering MECO! The Maximum Enemy Conditional Order, this is when the maximum amount of enemies of the country per second are powering the ascent! Ah yes Stacy! You’re right. We have about 10 more seconds of bur…oops! The unscheduled disassembly of this space craft has activated as usually a random time. Well, better luck next time Stacey! That’s right Bob, this will take a few months for a refueling…

    Would? Try will. It passed the house 218 to 214, all but two Republicans for and every Democrat against.

    And here’s a bit of a hint for the slow people out there - they don’t need that many agents or that big of a budget if they’re only dealing with immigrants.

      Just sitting here quietly wondering what it would take to deport everyone who admitted to being a homosexual, black, Latino, or drug addict on a medical form…cause I assume that’s why DOGE wanted so much of our private information - to use it against us.

        Deportations will stop soon. Remember the whole nitrogen execution thing from last year? They have the budget to build gas chambers and nobody will stop them

        At this point, all it would take would be to successfully establish the precedent that legal citizens can have their citizenship revoked (which just requires a case getting to the Supreme Court, where the corrupt majority has already demonstrated that they’re going to just rubber-stamp whatever Trump wants), then to issue an executive order declaring that [whatever quality] is [whatever has been deemed to be acceptable grounds to have ones citizenship revoked]. It would undoubtedly be challenged, but again, it would wind up in front of the Supreme Court sooner or later, and they’d rubber-stamp it

    Money to fund gestapo US Border Patrol and ICE-IS but not enough for health care for our elderly, education for our youth, or nutrition and housing assistance for our vets.

    This government is morally bankrupt. Error Code: 404

    the single largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the nation

    Are all those qualifiers even needed?

    Are there any state or local agencies larger than the federal government’s? Are there any other countries with larger agencies? (China or India, maybe?)

    Or can we just call it “the largest law enforcement agency in (western) history”?

          Can’t filibuster a budget reconciliation bill. How many times do we have to go through this before people understand that?

          Yup. The Republicans had a similar minority when they successfully gutted Obamacare to where it went from single payer to basically a website.

        I’ll never vote blue no matter who ever again. We are living the ongoing consequences of Biden’s ongoing genocide, and y’all are way too willing to shift all the blame to Trump and GOP.

        I’m certain 1 or 2 Democrats would have broken with party line to ensure it passes, we don’t have 50 moral Democrats that can’t be bought. They didn’t need to break the illusion of being the opposition party this time.

        Remember that it was under Biden that reporters were dragged out by force for asking questions about Gaza.

          Biden’s ongoing genocide

          Israel were illegally seizing Palestinian land by force under 45. And Obama. And Bush. In fact pretty much as a matter of ongoing policy going back to 1948. Saying that it’s still “Biden’s ongoing genocide” isn’t fair or reasonable when Trump is posting AI videos of himself and Netanyahu enjoying his new casino on the Gaza strip.

            Oh no not AI videos! The horror. Bring back the 2,000lbs bombs on tent encampments and leaving babies to starve to death in hospitals, bring back white phosphorus on civilians, bring back normalizing dead baby pieces hanging from the rubble. But not AI videos!!!

            Biden is our Hitler, and our history books will reflect that. You’re correct, the Gaza genocide is just one small chapter in the history of England and then the US colonizing Palestine.

            Be consistent, if you’re able to credit him for the good things he did instead of saying he’s just building on what Trump left him, you should be able to recognize that he could have ended this genocide but refused.

            Even if Trump was a good president/person and wanted to end it, there’s nothing left of Gaza for the remaining population. Biden already wiped it out.

          I am not saying Democrats are good (or not corrupted)… but blaming democrats for what Republicans are doing is apologetic to republicans

          “They would have done x if they were the majority “ is just your speculation. The reality is that the US voted this… and it’s getting this

            What did I blame the Democrats for what the Republicans are doing?

            Are you denying that Biden enthusiastically and fully backed the genocide?

            If so, I see no point in arguing with you anymore, you’re clearly still in the American politics cult. Democrats are not your friends, they just give you the illusion of someone fighting on your behalf. They are complicit in every major shift the country took to the right.
