"I was telling the officer, if I can give him ID, but he said just keep my hands up, not moving," Machado told Quiñonez. "After that, he told me to get out of the car and put the handcuffs on me. And then he went to me and said how did I get into this country and if I was waiting for a court date or if I have any case. And I told him I was an American citizen, and he looked at his other partner like, you know, smiling, like saying, can you believe this guy? Because he asked the other guy, 'Do you believe him?'"

Just a fun game to smile at for ICE. Pull an American citizen out of their car at gunpoint for being brown, whoopsies! Fucking bastards

only having "second thoughts"? no regrets yet? how much more will be needed to reach to regret? maybe get taszed or even shot while being detained?

Came across this. Honestly they may have a point. But I don't think you're going to see much regret till people start having to skip meals.

That's probably a half truth. 30% of the population is probably that deep in the cult. Another 15% or so thought they were going to get economic relief. When things get worse instead of better his support will bottom out.

So those "have the day you voted for" stickers are actually working in some cases!

Life is hard. It's even harder when you are stupid. I hope he gets more of the same for voting in this evil scum.

Asmongold literally admitted he just believes in what suits him at the time, as if it where common sense. These people are not selfish because some ideology says it is good, they believe selfish is good because they ARE selfish.
