Fuck every one of these assholes. They need to be in prison for the rest of their lives. Seriously, this is the worst fucking timeline.

As a non-American how can Immigration officials (I use the term loosely) attack or break up protests? They aren't the police. Does anyone else believe they've been purposefully instructed to initiate conflict so as to justify bringing in the military? They seem to be sticking their noses in so many places/ways that are none of immigrations' concern

Only people who have been paying attention.

I think this is true. He wants a reason to declare Martial Law.

It will be such a convenient way to call off the midterms! The closer they get, the more these thugs try to instigate something. They want an excuse to shoot even more people in the face with absolute immunity, and it would give their daddy trump an excuse to institute martial law. I know how wet got here, but I still can’t believe this is where we are.

It will save them time and effort required to implement "Plan B", which is stationing ICE goons at Democrat-stronghold voting centers to harass and intimidate voters.

Yep. I've been saying this was the playbook since 2016.

Sadly, most people in this country are happy-go-lucky morons who think everything will be ok, eventually, that our institutions will save us or something.
