Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Hey DOGE! I found the waste, fraud, and corruption. ICE.
He's trying to get us mad and become violent so he can declare martial law. He wants his opposition to look more like bad guys to his fan base.
we know ICE are less than 8k. As that’s all who attended the military parade if you’re not counting the geriatric and children who were dragged along to it
‘No Kings’ protest cities
So ... like all the cities?
This has kind of been the plan from the begining. He's trying to set metros to be in the position NYC was when he bought it for cheap.
COVID blaming cities, riots flamed to get people to move out and not want to be there. It's geo politics. Once it gets shitty enough he will just buy up property and market it to wealthy.
That's the game. Homies got his hustle. Mainstream or street it's all the same evil.
Shouldn't he be focused on the G7?
Trump already left G7 to supposedly "focus on the escalating Israeli-Iran conflict."
That's not the reason why he left. He's leaving early because he tried to hijack the G7 conference with his usual, personal grievance bullshit and to make the entire conference all about HIM, like he always does. But they weren't having it and they told him to go home and get his f*cking shine box. So now, he's leaving in a huff because they hurt his childish, rodentine feelings.
"Rodentine". I like that word and I'll be adding it to my repertoire. Thanks!
Stop payment of federal taxes
I screamed "No ICE in Wichita" for 4 hours, and Im willing to continue that stance with a bat.
I saw someone with the classic John f Kennedy quote "those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable" on a sign that was taped to a classic wooden bat. Probably my favor sign I've seen yet.
I'm willing to continue it with other weaponry.
But don't you remember that time Biden said, "I want double, triple vaccinations in red states! They'll pay for calling COVID 'the flu'!" /s
Weren't the protests in pretty much every city in the country?
About 2100 locations, per Indivisible. So yeah, ICE gonna be spread thin, I guess.
The best I saw reporting in was a town of 800 in deep red Trump country with a turnout of 400. Wish I could remember the town. Faiy certain it was a rey on Lemmy but may have been bluesky.
175 people showed up in Pulaski, TN. I live about an hour from there. That's where the KKK was founded. Deep as red gets (At least in my experience)
That's a solid 2% of the town
No one in OK is tearing down my “Defund ICE” signs.
Are they literate enough to tell "Defund" from "Defend"?
Defundly not.
Gonna be fun when they run outta money. Are those racist fucks gonna work without pay?
Money printer go brrrr
...naw, they'll just use looting as payment, arrest people to deport and keep their stuff
We’re already expecting the spite, personal attacks … even smaller places. My town is still pissed off from the last few weeks
- masked thugs kidnapped a guy off the street and left his kid abandoned on the sidewalk (neighbors got him home)
- other masked thugs roughed up and arrested a city councilor exercising his right to take videos from an appropriate distance
Please. Send them here. In clearly labeled vehicles. With nice uniforms that have large letters.
We'd like to see their faces too.
Otherwise how we supposed to know they're not reich-wing political assassins or cartel gang members in disguise? They could fake their ID and warrants as well, better just capture them and work it all out in court, in front of a judge. Which is better than they're offering, or deserve
All 2200+ of them huh?
Sure looks illegal to me. I keep hoping one of his crimes will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, but damned if this isn't one tough camel.
The post in question:
I don't think there's "legal" and "illegal" anymore in the US. It's "allowed" or "not allowed" by the king+oligarch.
Radical Democrats is awfully close to illegal Democrats.
If he knows there are millions and millions of illegal aliens, why is he rounding up the legal ones?
He's a racist piece of shit
Ding! Ding! Ding!
This is why I am having a hard time feeling bad for Trump supporters who just found out that Trump wants them out too despite them being legal residents. There were never enough undocumented immigrants to meet the deportation numbers he wants. He was always planning on cancelling work and student visas and anything else to kick brown people out of the country.
It’s exactly that. If he wants to kick out all the international students and such, all he has to do is withdraw from NPT (I can actually see them doing this).
Illegal aliens is starting to sound a lot like "Jews".
I wouldn't be surprised if our president went off an bankers next.
And when there are no more illegal immigrants, guess who is going to have to fill in for their jobs and pay level.
I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day
Oh, how subtle. If you're not cheering ICE on, you're not a REAL American. So you should be deported too!
Trump wants a whole country of people who cheer him and whatever he says.
