Hey, Chucky. He IS a convicted felon dozens of times over. And usually that might suggest some prison time, yes. And this was all out in public the whole time, so your "exposure" is silly. But sure, ICE everyone whose lips aren't cheetoh-colored, you superannuated trumphumping scarecrow.

After the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics the next year. Almost half of nations joined. I sure wish the globe would look at the self-invasion we have going on here and skip the World Cup in 2026. You're all in danger of being rounded up anyway.

I'm a little discouraged that relatively little of the conversation around this stupid fucking bill is about the massive billions in added ICE funding. These nazis are already tormenting hard-working immigrants, but more detainees are needed to inflate trump's ego. We are ALL at risk. Get it?

In the 1980s I tutored elderly Soviet Jews, who were allowed to leave Russia (unlike everyone else) because the Russians didn't want the Jews. Sure, some of them were bowled over by the fruit section at the grocery store, at first. Then they settled in and realized they had no health care.
