Bored of War & Peace 20: The Iran "War" will be Over by Christmas!

It's amazing to see the collapse of the Rule of Law in real time.

No...  I'm not talking about the unenforced Epstein Files Release Law.  Nor am I referring to the fascist ICE Stromtroopers goose-stepping around the Nation, wantonly and willfully violating the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th 6th Amendments with the tacit support of the Republicans in Congress and the Supreme Court and the explicit support and defense of Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, and Traitor trump himself.  No, I'm referring to The War Powers Act of 1973;  the text of which is explicit but, when Republicans in Congress, the Treasonous trump administration, and Corporate Media get together to declare Not a War, therefore no war powers act.  So, in keeping with his petty cheating golfing ways Traitor trump was given a mulligan on the The War Powers Act!

Malingering

We back at "War" with Iran after the ridiculous Memorandum of Understanding signed with so much self-congratulatory fanfare by the big fat fucking asshole in Versailles feel to pieces in days.  As everyone who bothered to look at the stupid document knew it would.

Now, tough-talking Donnie Don't Care is back to his bluster about defeated Iran will be defeated soon, by being defeated and they've already been totally defeated by their defeat which is days away from being a total defeat.

But, unlike here in the United States of America where the Corporate Media sane-washes Traitor trump's verbal diarrhea and everyone pretends what he says has some semblance to the truth, the reality is Iran has damaged numerous bases ivo of their Nation, continues to have rocket and missile projection capability and continues to strike both US targets and others in the wider Gulf Region.

So, I was saying, we have an aircraft carrier, which is one of the most beautiful in the world. It's one of the biggest. The Abraham Lincoln. And two months ago — I told this story yesterday — we had 111 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan. They were shot at the aircraft carrier over a period of about one hour — 111 missiles going to a very expensive ship. And every one of those missiles was knocked down, pretty much most by Patriots, but by other means also, as you know. Other less-expensive means, it's even better when you do that.  

Wow!  A totally defeated and obliterated military still managed to launch over 100 missiles at the US Navy?  And yes whilst Donnie Dumbass was talking about how beautiful his aircraft carrier, he called it the Islamic Republic of Japan...

It sure would be nice if there was a larger discussion by the Media, not only about Traitor trump's ignorant rambling missives about warfare, but also about the broader goals and conduct of this conflict in general.  Instead Traitor trump and the Republicans are allowed to get away with "First off, Iran can never have a nuclear weapon..." and then zilch, zero, follow-up on what that exactly means and entails.

Nope.  That the United States is in a state of conflict with Iran should be a huge nightly story.  But, the US Corporate Media can barely be fucking bothered to cover the missile strikes, service members deaths, and wide destruction of U.S. bases in the region!  The only reporter who questioned why Iran is still launching strikes despite Republicans claiming for five months they've been completely obliterated was republican lunatic Maria Bartiromo!!!

"I don't understand how it's possible that Iran has the capabilities to fight this way and continue to try to lash out at Gulf countries and U.S. military bases.  Because the U.S. has obliterated Iran's military, and the president continues to reiterate that."  

Yeah, why is that?  Why would the MSM cover a war which is going badly for the Untied States, strategically, tactically, and operationally?  They don't and they won't.  Because the media is compliant and complicit in the goals of Traitor trump and the larger goals of the Republican Party, their rightwing mobs, and the inhuman Billionaire bastards; who have conspired to destroy the Untied States and replace it with a Totalitarian Neo-Confederate Ethno State.

"I'm a Winner! Take that OBummer!

President Obama's negoiated JCPOA plan was an incredible piece of 21st century Diplomacy and it was immediately undermined by the treasonous Republicans in the Federal Government and then destroyed by Donnie Don't Care for capricious whimsy and because someone asshole or assholes told him what a big strong big swinging dick he will be if he bombs Iran and it'll be so easy!

And even now 5 months later, Traitor trump's cabinet of buffoons, thieves, racists, and grifters is telling him just a few more aerial bombardments is going to bring Iran to their knees any... day... now...

And dysregulated Donnie Dumbass, who can never be wrong about anything, has said officially 50 times over Iran has been defeated and we've won, and the not a war war is over anyway, and there are no problems in the region except for NATO not doing their part so when reality ignores and disputes his lies in a way contrary to fawning adulation he gets here in the United States well he's left with going back to bombing.  He's got another unofficial official 50 days into the War Powers Act ostensibly comes into force again...

I've included some of Traitor trump's remarks at the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit.  Listen to him speak and don't turn it off, reading the comments doesn't give you the full horror of the barely intelligible cable from Donnie Dumbass

In less than two years ago, we were a dead country. I say it all the time. The King of Saudi Arabia told me — I was with him two years ago — he said, “You know, it’s amazing. Just a little while ago, you were a dead country, and now you’re the hottest country anywhere in the world.”

Every leader — I just got back from NATO — every leader said the same thing. “You’re the hottest country anywhere in the world.” And they treated me like that. They’re not treating me — they’re treating me because of the country. We’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. And a year ago, two years ago, we were a dead country. It was an embarrassment.

And they said, “Affordability. Affordability.” They go — that’s a fake word that they use. They caused the affordability problem. It’s called high prices. They came up with this word. They’re good at coming up with words, but we came up with a good word too.

They’re Democrats — dumb. You take the b out. Most people don’t know that dumb has a b. Okay? But the u replaces the e, and you have a Democrat. And I just don’t understand because their policy is so dumb

We built an aircraft carrier for $19 billion, which is crazy. The price is crazy. It started off — I came in, one of the first things I wanted to see was the Ford aircraft carrier. It was way over budget, and it had things on it that you didn’t need. Like, it had magnets to lift up the elevators with ten and twelve planes on them. Think of it. It had all sorts of modern day things that were — instead of using steam for the catapults, they used electric. “Let’s have an electric catapult.”

And so when I went to the ship — because I came into office and the ship was way over budget, built in Newport News unfortunately — it was way over budget. It was going to cost $3 billion. It was up to like $18, $19 billion. It was terrible. And I said, “I want to meet the catapulter.”

And a man came over along with four of his assistants, and I said, “What’s better? Electric catapult or steam?” He’s been there for twenty-five years. He said, “Steam is better, sir. We can fix it with a hammer and a blowtorch. When the electric goes bad, I have to send to MIT to get geniuses over here.”

I said, “Steam is better?”

“Yes, sir. It’s better.”

“So why do they do electric?”

“Because you can have the catapult go like this, but you can’t put planes on it, sir. It takes you thirty-nine seconds. By the time the thirty-nine seconds is up, you have a full head of steam. And I love breathing that steam, sir. That’s the cleanest air you’ve ever seen.”

But I said, “So you’re saying we spent billions of dollars extra to build electric catapults instead of using — ” And I said, “What else do you hear?”

He said, “The elevators are no good, sir. They’re lifted up by magnets.”

So we’re not letting any — Pete, we’re not letting any more ships be built with the ridiculous billions of dollars more they spent on electric catapults, and they’re not good. They’re not nearly as good, too complex. And by the way, we had to call the ship in twice because the catapults didn’t work, and I predicted that was true.

And the same thing with the magnetic elevators. We want them to be made hydraulic, which — it can be hit by lightning, it can be hit by anything. When a little water touches the magnets, it doesn’t work anymore. And you’re in the Atlantic Ocean with waves that are 60 feet high, and the Pacific Ocean with waves that are 70 feet high, and they’re talking about magnets — that makes you want to get sick.

I actually called in the architect of the ship and I said, “Have you designed a ship before?”

“Well, I haven’t spent a lot of time on that, sir.”

Even the cab — you know, the tower — they have it in the back instead of in the middle. It’s supposed to be in the middle where you have more room. I said, “Why’d you move it there?”

“Well, we thought it was very good.”

“Why did you do it? And why is the ammunition under the — where the admiral is, the tower? They have the tower and they have the ammunition under the tower.” I say, if I’m the enemy, I know where I’m aiming. These people — and the thing cost like $20 billion. It’s ridiculous.

Alright. So we’re changing all of that. Right, Peter? You’ll be fired so fast if you don’t. But a lot of this is common sense stuff, really. I mean, I hope I’m not boring anybody, but it’s all common sense. This isn’t exactly part of my speech, but I gotta tell you — I’m getting it all out now and all the anger I have when I hear about electric catapults that don’t work...

Thank goodness Climate Change isn't Real

The Sun as seen in the western suburbs
That doesn't look like a G2 star...

    Fortunately, while Traitor trump is making the world less safe for Americans with his stupid and capricious foreign policy of bombing the infrastructure of Iran or murdering fisherman in international waters for the crime of being from South or Central America, and while RFK Jr is making food uneatable due to cutting programs to keep feces off our lettuce and parasites out of our beef, we still have breathable air.

Oops!

CHICAGO (WGN) — Chicago has logged its worst air quality in the city’s history and new data showed Chicago had the worst air quality in the world among major cities.

So, living ivo Chicago we are on the trailing edge of the wildfire smoke from the burning Canadian fires.  Just recently I was in Denver which was experiencing wildfires in the Rocky Mountains in late June and early July.

Now that these wildfires are naturally occurring function of these great forests of the North American continent isn't going to stop rapaciously ignorant Republicans from threatening Canada,

Republican members of U.S. Congress are slamming Canada's federal and provincial governments over what they claim is inaction in preventing the wildfires currently spreading smoke and poor air quality across much of the northeastern U.S., in addition to Central Canada. 

The criticism comes in a sharply worded letter from four Michigan members of the House of Representatives, addressed to Prime Minister Mark Carney. 

It accuses Canada of failing to conduct adequate forest maintenance to reduce the risk of wildfires and warns that the U.S. "will look elsewhere, and act on our own" if more action isn't taken.

"This is the third consecutive year we have had to write to Canadian officials about a crisis that Canada has the tools to prevent and has chosen not to," write the four Michigan Republicans — John James, Jack Bergman, John Moolenaar and Lisa McClain — in a letter dated Wednesday.

"Our hospitals are once again treating children, dialysis patients and older residents for the effects of smoke that did not originate anywhere near them." 

The Republican lawmakers say they are "done accepting apologies in place of action," and float the idea of taking cross-border fire prevention into U.S. hands. 

Masked Republicans en route

Cross-border action?  Will Donnie Dumbass rattle his teeny saber at Canada again and threaten to invade turn Canada into the 51st State and enslave Canadians to rake their forests to stop the fires?  Also I thought masks and breathing problems weren't real?  But, then Republicans only deem to wear masks to hide their faces when they go on White Supremacist Ramages.

Bored of War & Peace 19: Hegseth resegregating the United States Military and Republicans are Genital obsessed weirdos

Remaking the Military into Lethal Whites instead of Lethal Weapons and trading in OD Green for White Power.

Well...  Drunken Whiskey Pete Hegseth just issued a directive about testing for Testosterone levels in military service members...

Every Republican is a panty-sniffing genital obsessed weirdo.

This test is for women as well as men.  I actually think this is a backdoor way of getting a test ensconced which Republicans plan to then use on other people (forcibly if necessary) to prove they are a "Transgender" and thus put them into camps and psych wards for reprogramming. (I'm sure bad faith rightwingers will declare, You forced us to get Covid tests so we are going to force you to get Low-T tests!) 

Besides wanting to fondle service men's balls and sniffing women's panties to see if they are producing High-T Warriors, and of course issuing illegal and immoral war crimes orders, the other thing Hegseth has been focused on is stopping women and minorities in the US military from advancing up the ranks.

For a long time the enlisting in the United States military was a good move for financial stability and a base level of respect for black and brown people in the United States.  Advancement was, ostensibly, color-blind and medical benefits, base pay, basic housing, and TDY pay provided a stable floor to try and break the shackles of generational poverty.

The White Power Military
Hegseth is building

When I was in the Marines in the early 2000's many senior enlisted personnel were African-Americans.  Including my first Sgt Maj, a man from Belize, who was coming up on 30 years service.  The reason has always been that for the most part many of the prerequisites for promotion (in the enlisted ranks) are based on color-blind merit and evaluations free from the bigotry.  One of the ways Hegseth is specifically targeting black service members is his draconian no beards policy.  Black men shaving everyday is a quick way to get Pseudofolliculitis barbae commonly known as "razor bumps".  There are many other skin irritation and infections caused by shaving in unsanitary conditions which don't matter to Hegseth, it's just a way for him to target black men.

Officer promotions are, of course, different and at the higher levels are a political chess game.  Remember the only senior high ranking Officer to face repercussions for Abu Ghraib was a Female Brigadier General Janis Karpinski.  But, Hegseth has taken it upon himself to not let women or blacks into the door.

The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, stripped nine navy officers including women and Black service members from a promotion list last month, according to a person familiar with the matter, resulting in an all-male, overwhelmingly white slate of 22 advancing as nominees to become one-star admirals.

Sexual Violence jokes
from a Sexual Predator

 This isn't the first time Hegseth has stopped the advancement of women and persons of color.  And he's also pushed those already in positions out.  Most notably, he fired General Charles Q. Brown, the military's highest-ranking Black officer. He also removed Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to hold that most senior position in U.S. Navy history.  The goal is of course to produce a genocidal evangelical endtimes focused military which will be more than happy to engage in warcrimes and xenophobic wars against the other to ensure Armageddon.

It's hard to pin-point which Traitor trump co-criminal is the worst.  Stephen Miller certainly might be, Just Despicable Vance wants to be, Mirco Rubio is pushing more and more for the invasion of Cuba, but the long-term damage Hegseth is doing to the U.S. military, senior structure, and physical and moral damage to the U.S. Navy, to say nothing of the fracturing of NATO with this constant drumbeat about Greenland are going to have lasting impact and require decades of careful diplomatic work...  which I don't think the current United States can muster.

Traitor trump orders ICE to keep killing people

“Everyone was saying that, you know, ICE was gone, you know, January, February, March, because, you know there was not really activity for some people, or people were not paying attention because all eyes were on Minnesota. But ICE never really left.” Allison Galvan, co-founder of the ICE detention rapid response.

"I tried to stop," - last words of Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero before his constitutional rights were violated and he was murdered in Biddeford, Maine.

For the briefest moments, after several unlawful extrajudicial murders by ICE Agents conducting unconstitutional searches & seizures, John Wayne Mullin called for a pause in these 4th Amendment violating "Kavanaugh Stops".  Well, Traitor trump let his lackey know that's not acceptable.

Traitor trump ordered the resumption of these unconstitutional traffic stops with the hope and expectation it will lead to more highly charged confrontations and more deaths.

Never forget these ICE agents are acting this way because they are getting tacit and explicit support from their superiors, higher ups, trump administration officials, rightwing corporate media, and King Donnie himself.  They absolutely believe they can brazenly act this way because there iz zero accountability and no future repercussions.

One thing which the Corporate Media doesn't cover and rightwing media completely ignores is these forcible detentions are often happening based on no probable cause.  Seeing a brown person isn't probable cause no matter what Beer swillin' Bart O'Kavanugh claims.  But, and this is hard truth; white people love these fatal interactions even with so-called "innocent" persons because whites in America believe all black and brown people are a priori  guilty of something and just haven't been caught yet, therefore their mistreatment up to and including summary extrajudicial execution in the streets is not a problem.

And don't go thinking any pretend moderate Republicans care.  Do you think Senator Susan Collins gives a shit ICE gunned down an innocent man in her state? Or any single Republican in Texas cares Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot dead without cause?  And that the Federal Government is pressuring and attempting to get all the witnesses to deport themselves so as to ensure the cover-up?  Or that there is no body camera footage?  Which would perjure the ICE Agents lies as it did when little fascist shit Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good and called her a "fucking bitch" while he and his buddies let her bleed out?

Well, Traitor trump, Stephen Miller, John Wayne Mullin, et al want these murderous encounters and traffic stops to continue.  They want people to be killed because the rightwing propaganda machine goes into immediate overdrive to besmirch the murdered individuals (recall the multiple "killings" of Renee Good) and they want Democrats to get upset and call for the Abolishment of ICE.  Republicans would like nothing better than to run on Democrats want to abolish ICE so black and brown monsters can kidnap and rape all the white women.  

Fear-mongering over immigrant hordes raping and killing along with Kamala is for They/Them, trump is for You was the greatest American political campaign of the 21st century.

I'm sure you wish it wasn't so but, it is.  That's the political reality.  Whites are by and large a lost cause.  These people aren't your countrymen anymore.  They expect your silent and docile acceptance of the new fascist order and want you dead if you protest or interfere.

It's Rule or Ruin, just like it was 165 years ago.

Trump's purloined billions, crypto cons, pardons, and insider trading

“Let’s also ensure that members of congress cannot
corruptly profit from using insider information.
Did Nancy Pelosi stand up? ... Doubt it.”

    Once he was back in office Donnie wasn't no time stealing every dollar he could.  Traitor trump revealed he "made" $2.4 billion in his first year back in the White House.

Everyone knows he made ten times that number or more but, this is what he had to admit to in his monstrous 927 page disclosure.    

The deal Traitor trump made with the Republicans was he could steal everything he wanted as long as he delivered what they wanted; a dismantling of the Federal bureaucracy and a powerful fascist paramilitary domestic force to quell dissent.

In exchange, Republicans would ceaselessly prattle on about the Biden Crime Family, or Hunter Biden's "Laptop", or Nancy Pelosi and know their conditioned conservative drones will immediately nod and say Yes, they all do it but, Democrats is worse...

"The word 'affordability' is a fake word, made up by the Democrats, I'll tell you why it's fake: Because they made it up I inherited these prices." - Donnie Don't Care.

 As Donnie Don't Care has repeatedly stated he doesn't give a shit about Americans well-being as he claims the "Affordability" crisis is a fake word, a hoax, and it's the Democrats fault anyway, even as Republican liars like Mike Lawler claim to have solved the "housing crisis" and after all there's always Nancy Pelosi,

 "As I said I don't think people should be profiting in office.  Nobody should.  You know, Nancy Pelosi shouldn't.  She's made, you know, millions upon millions of dollars."- Mike Lawler when asked about Traitor trump's looting of the United States.

Whataboutism is the go to move every time Donnie Don't Care is caught with his dick inside a teenage rape victim.

And if all that would fail, well Traitor trump, Just Despicable Vance, and StepheNazi Miller can simply do another round of blaming the immigrants.

White people have been successfully conditioned by 50 years of non-stop Republican propaganda;  ever since the Lewis Powell Memo and Nixon's forced resignation, Republicans determined never to put the interests of the Nation or American People ahead of their Party and their Rich co-conspriators.

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who has used his time in the Senate to enrich his family via various kickback schemes, repeatedly threatened probes and congressional investigations into President Biden's conflicts of interests and his pardon of his son.

And in response, Donnie Don't Care has been a wild pardon spree releasing all manner of fraudsters, grifters, thieves, and con artists, and traitors;  i.e. his people.

And the January 6th treasonous insurrectionists aren't even the worst!  (But, Republican propaganda has masterfully convinced some MAGA that the Jan6th criminals were all Antifa, FBI, and Souther Poverty Law Center activists while rightwingers also say the Jan6th criminals were all innocent patriots.)

And thus we see the successful rightwing propaganda machine at work.  White people, who often don't even hear about these heinous pardons because of the rightwing news they consume, are also done a disservice by the US corporate media, which barely seeks to cover Trump's criminal financial empire, stops mentioning it after an initial tepid report, and then retreats to their preferred #BothSidesDoIt narrative while also giving Donnie a pass cause they like the guy.

Anyway stealing is the least of Donnie's crimes.

Draining the Reflecting Pool and tearing the White House down

is an allegory for the draining of the National spirit of the United States of America.  The National Mall Anniversary Day is July 16th, to commemorate the laying out of the city plan in 1790.  I suppose we could reflect on that...

So, after Traitor trump's colossal fuck up and destruction of the reflecting pool, the National Parks Service had to drain it yet again.

You know what wasn't found?  A "350-foot gash"...It should be a bigger deal the President of the United States is a syphilitic liar.  A traitor.  A conman.  

You know what was found?  Massive tire marks caused by lazy Donnie's motorcade which ferried his gigantic ass across the reflecting pool surface even though it wasn't made for being driven upon, let alone with Traitor trump's stupid fucking vehicles.

Look...  Donald trump is a thief and a traitor.  But, he'd be nothing more than some two-bit failed casino hustler and grotesque rapist without his acolytes, sycophants, and the criminal co-conspirators he's surrounded himself with who are willing to do all sorts of immoral, unethical, and illegal acts.

You know, I was at the Reflecting Pool yesterday, and I think it's very sad. 

Someone intentionally did a tremendous amount of damage to the pool. 

And you can actually see where all the cutting is. 

They took a sharp object and cut for many feet along the pool.

- Lying Jeanine Pirro

I know why white people love him, he encourages them to be their worst selves, to revel in their biases, to feel good about being bigoted and racist and intolerant.  He does all the things they wish they could do;  

• Steal.  
• Cheat on his taxes.  
• Bang hot broads.  
• Lie.  
• Damage and destroy shit and blame someone else.  
• Murder... 

I know why Republicans love him.  His bombastic bullshit and total unhinged, fact-free missives gives them license and cover to do what they want;  dismantle the Federal Government and turn the United States into a Fascist Totalitarian shithole country whilst maintaining a simulacrum of the Democratic Republic.

And the US Corporate Media simply likes him.  Journalists get a kick out of him and simply ignore his lies and nonsense and bullshit and direct insults and attacks on them cause they like the guy.

So...  So, I guess we're here then.  Where a total piece of shit asshole rapist racist loser gets to claim, Antifa and vandals damaged the Reflecting Pool, and his lackeys make false arrests based on that.

Traitor trump destroyed the Reflecting Pool because that's what this asshole always does.  He's always done slip-shod work, on the cheap, while breaking things, and claiming the work he's done is the greatest ever.

And for years everyone when he was bankrupt casino owner, and a Russian-mafia backed slumlord in New York City everyone, simply nodded and went Yeah, yeah, yeah to his claims of greatness.

And now he's broken the United States.  It doesn't mean we can't fix it but, Republicans are going to viciously fight non-stop to hamper We, the Peoples efforts to right what Donnie Dumbass has wronged.

Fearing for Public Safety

 As a Police Officer, I heard and read all manner of euphemisms to justify blatantly illegal actions by Officers and Departments.  But, I never heard a justification of an unconstitutional extrajudicial killing as being based on "fearing for public safety".

It's a disgusting amorphous phrase based on total bullshit.  It's like trying to claim a disorderly conduct authorizes deadly force.  But, in fact it's even worse.

Yet, again the Gestapho imitators at ICE have launched an attack on a person not committing a crime, in unmarked vehicles, while not in uniform, wearing regular clothing, while masked, guns drawn, seemingly without identifying themselves, using their vehicles as a weapon, and thus ended up executing a man.

That man by the Department of Homeland Terrorism admitted was not the "suspect" they were looking for, but when every brown person is your eventual target any one will do,

The fatal shooting of a 26-year-old Colombian man by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Maine has become the latest flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s aggressive crackdown on foreign nationals.

The incident unfolded in Biddeford, a coastal city about 24km (15 miles) southwest of Portland, the state’s biggest city.

According to DHS, agents attempted to stop a vehicle leaving the address. The department said the driver tried to flee and that “fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon”.

Earlier, Maine Senator Angus King said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin had told him the officer fired after the driver allegedly attempted to use the vehicle as a weapon against ICE agents.

King also said the agents involved were not wearing body cameras and that they had been in Biddeford to arrest someone other than the man who was shot.

This is as clear-cut a 4th Amendment violation as the murder of Alex Pretti was an express violation of the 2nd Amendment.  The murdered man was not a suspect, was here legally, and was not in the commission of any crime when the unidentified ICE Thugs attacked.  Biddeford, Maine is right next door to Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, two of the richest areas in Maine, 99% white, and the home to former President George W. Bush.

First off, don't ever forget, don't ever accept their lies, and don't ever give the benefit of the doubt.  These actions are completely unconstitutional and unlawful.  And they are being done willfully and wantonly by agents in the field, with the express support of their superiors, and the vocal support of the treasonous White House officials, like Stephen Miller, Jeannie Pirro, and MarkJohnWayne Mullin.

Again, lying Trump acolytes and co-conspriators attempted to use the ubiquitous lie of the murdered individual tried to use his vehicle as a weapon, this is the go to lie they use to set the tone for on-line bots to parrot and to justify these murders.  Again the ICE Agents shot someone in a car because they are being told to do so and most likely been given verbal assurances they will be defended by the Trump Department of Injustice and the rightwing propaganda machine.

Secondly, this is exactly what white people wanted and expressly voted for in selecting Donnie Dumbass.

Third, Trump lackeys feel comfortable committing crimes and acting with petulant impunity because they feel certain they will face zero repercussions when this whole thing finally comes to an end.  This extends all the way down to individual murderers at ICE up to Traitor trump himself.

The ICE murders are ramping up again, after Stephen Miller told them to cool off for a bit.
