The money spent on ICE is proof that the country has the money to feed and house every person. It’s a choice of priorities.

Candyman getting busted down in rank was more than well deserved. But he said Trump was 6’3”, 238 lbs in his physical and kissed his ass nonstop for 9 years so I guess he earned the promotion by Trump standards.

Notice ICE recruits aren’t hiding their faces. Disgraceful way to make a living! We’ve got money to hand ICE fat salaries, signing bonuses, even student loan forgiveness (no college degree required). But we can’t afford to pay teachers, fund better healthcare, or keep Social Security alive.

By the way Atwood and Toni Morrison don’t write pornography.. These Maple MAGA are an embarrassment to the nation. Why? Because as teenagers we used to read the most challenging literature of our time in school and benefited from it.
