“Only a bad person would ask a question like that, to be honest with you,” the president said
For real, he is such a weakling, even when he's throwing his little hissy fit here he's reflexively couching it in the "I'm just being 'honest' with you so you're not allowed to get mad at me for being a dick" thing
Also, "bad person," he talks like a five year old
I for one am shocked that Joe "fund the police" Biden signed a law that allowed for federal money to be wasted on cop bullshit! Gosh, if only someone has told us there were better ways to protect public safety. Like maybe some protesters or activists somewhere could have said something? I'm sure we would have listened to them and taken them seriously, and we definitely would not have tear gassed them and beat them and shot them with rubber bullets and etc.
Me, bitter? Nooo /s
Bongino is out of control furious,” the person who has spoken with the deputy FBI director said. “This destroyed his career.
"You guys! I had a whole true crime podcast I was gonna do, we already picked out theme music and I hired a photographer to take pictures of me looking grim for the show logo, and you're ruining everything!" - Bongino (actually)
"Donald Trump said we're being invaded, who are we to judge?" - six supreme court judges (basically)
I recently spoke with a dozen current and former ICE agents and officers about morale at the agency since Trump took office. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity, for fear of losing their job or being subjected to a polygraph exam. They described varying levels of dissatisfaction but weren’t looking to complain or expecting sympathy—certainly not at a time when many Americans have been disturbed by video clips of masked and hooded officers seizing immigrants who were not engaged in any obvious criminal behavior. The frustration isn’t yet producing mass resignations or major internal protests, but the officers and agents described a workforce on edge, vilified by broad swaths of the public and bullied by Trump officials demanding more and more.
"We're upset, but not enough to actually do a damn thing about it" what even is this news story even about, there's like not a single tangible thing happening here other than the author's projected feelings about ICE agents. Like, they "weren’t looking to complain or expecting sympathy" bro you just printed an article full of their complaints, you are just fanfic-ing out loud here.
Man, It sucks so hard that a magazine founded by radical slavery abolitionists got taken over by dipshits who think they need to spend so much of their time and effort trying to flatter the far right.
The sad part is this is how the Biden administration actually thought. They could have restricted these funds from being wasted on stupid bullshit but instead did the moderate Dem thing and just let douchebag Republicans do whatever the hell they want so they could campaign on how bipartisan they were. At the end of the day, nobody in a position of power gave a shit about the safety of these people.
Seems like your efforts would be better spent focusing on the dozen or so Democratic campaign consultants and politicians who convinced those 2.5 million to stay home. Unless you're willing to give up on the whole democracy thing and just impose the leadership you think we need on voters like Lenin or something.
The Democratic party's leadership makes that much more difficult than it needs to be and they will keep blowing winnable elections for the rest of us until they are removed from power
That second sentence deserves its full context
Another uniformed ICE agent stepped out of an unmarked police van at 11:53 a.m. and pointed a matte black rifle at protestors and press, including this reporter, screaming “Get the fuck back!” An SFPD officer stood by and watched from a distance.
I will support him until the day I die.
I bet she would have at least a few doubts in the final moments if things go according to Stephen Miller's plans
I'm sure he's the only person in venture capital with extremely bigoted views and that there is nothing about working in the industry itself that ruins people's brains while also giving them the power to ruin all of our lives /s
Same, I think we just got ratio'd
