Whenever I see conservatives crying about drag queens and the alleged danger they pose to children I just kinda wait for the next one to be outed for this kind of thing.

It's all projection.

I don't get it: How are people supposed to be able to tell criminals who aren't in ICE apart from the criminals who are in it?

In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

What a pathetic moron he is. Can’t wait for a Democrat to get in there and restore the White House (to the extent possible).

What if, instead of threatening violence and engaging in intimidation, Republicans ran on ideas?

There are some people whose major contribution to improving life on planet Earth is leaving it.

Cheney - the VP under President George W Bush from 2001 to 2009 - died from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease on Monday night.

Bringing you a thread (and most of the graphics) I found on Twitter from David Doney who tweets as . I have no idea why people think Republicans are good for the economy or for the stock market.

"Republican presidents are terrible for the economy, and have been for decades. Let's run the numbers. First, the unemployment rate has gone up for every Republican president since WW2 except Reagan (and fell for every Democrat but Carter).

"Budget deficits increased for every Republican but Eisenhower, and fell under every Democrat but Kennedy. Who is the party of fiscal responsibility? Hint: Team Blue.

"Why is this? 10 of the last 11 recessions started under Republicans. Recessions cause unemployment and budget deficits to rise, as tax revenue falls and government spending increases automatically for UI (unemployment insurance) and Medicaid even without stimulus.

"Both Bush's had weak job creation, and Trump had negative job creation, so the jobs score since 1989 is about: Democrats: +50 million GOP: +1 million (not a typo!) It's about 51-1 now. If you pretend the pandemic didn't happen and give '09 to Bush 43, it's about 46-6.

"Stock market does worse under Republicans. Annual rate of return since 1945: Democrats: +11.2% GOP: +6.9%

"This is a known thing, ever since former Fed Vice Chair Alan Blinder studied the subject. It's basically any statistic you can think of.

"Heck, there's even a Wikipedia article on it.

"NYT covered it a few years ago. For some reason it was in the Opinion section, rather than the journalism section."

The. Second. Time. In a week. ICE needs to be dismantled and the criminal elements in it and directing it need to be prosecuted.

"For the second time in a little over a week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles, California. This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind while he was driving a car, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times."

According to his lawyer, immigration officers shot Carlos Jimenez after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.
