    Anyone else get the feeling their presence at these sport events are being used as an employee perk? It would make it all the more delightful this stuff is getting shutdown.

    If ICE shows up at the Superbowl, I’d wish and hope that the players just refuse to even step out onto that field for even a second while the fascists are around.

    “We have decided, after much deliberation, not to be relentlessly booed, harassed, and torn apart in a humiliating display of ineptitude and poor judgment”

      Fascist will always back down from a fight that they might lose. In this case it’s a fight of public shaming. The only power they have is the illusion that they have the numbers. They do not.

      This is a minor loss for them but it’s a good example of how to defeat them. They need to be put in a place where they cannot retreat. A true loss for fascist is not backing down from a fight. They will just use that as opportunity to show how “reasonable” they are. It’s the same as their fake “reduction” in Minnesota. It’s just serving to try to reduce the resistance.

      Never back down and think that things will “go back” to normal. This is the failure of the liberal inside of you. Liberal democracy is dead in America. We are not going back. Keep fighting, keep shaming, until these Nazis are in a corner and outnumbered. And that includes all of the Nazis that hold the wealth of this country.

    I try not to watch the main actors in the Trump facade because their posturing is so cringe worthy, but I saw Noem tell an interviewer (or influencer?) that ICE will be at the Superbowl, but she among her reasoning was because “I can” which she said along with a huge shrug of her shoulders. The fucking EGO of these people they don’t actually care about any of this, it’s about the money and appearance of power.

    Point is, I didn’t think there was ever a plan to back away from. When she said this, she only said it because her brain got a dopamine hit thinking to herself about how cool she must look in the video.

    However, Superbowl is still over a week away, and these sensitive souls could kneejerk react to their feels and change their mind any time.

    Ew, why is grandma wearing a vest with the word ‘police’ on it? She’s not a police officer.

    With all the alcohol fueled self entitlement in the seats they would get destroyed.

    It’s this ICEy TACOS? Never had that before, sounds bland, tasteless. Around here we always drink our Horchata warm.
