So mark. How exactly would you recommend removing illegals?

Just how many do you think drumphy has "removed"?

Is it worth increasing tensions to doi it though? It's why I suggested sealing the border and giving who are already inside a free pass. But keep the border sealed indefinitely. I'd wager there are other Republicans who do not agree with it.

Dept of War-- I can't stop cracking up about that name. It fits the Trump years to a tee. I'm not sure if he's at war with the left, or himself LOL.

Well, it makes a good story, and I'm not entirely sure Lonnie was wrong. Don't forget my early childhood was in bombed out Brittain, and anti German feeling was rampant. The Germans were rightly demonized through a lot of my childhood. Not really surprising, the damage was everywhere, and people were still acutely mourning people killed in the war, and many were not combatants. Don't forget the Germans had created trouble three times in less than one hundred years before I was born.
So, yes I harbor an understandable suspicion of Germans, and the fact that Trump is half German certainly reinforces it.

I can certainly understand resentment towards former enemies - especially brutal ones like the Nazis - as it's only human. My grandfather served in the RN during the 2nd WW (he was a Newfoundlander) and survived the sinkings of HMS Latona (Stuka divebomber) and HMS Heythrop (U-boat) in the Mediterranean.

As for Trump, I'm not willing to grant him the excuse of his ethnic background for his complete lack of morality. Some of his father's misanthropic traits appear to have carried over to his son, but I don't blame the German people for that.

As for ICE, their conduct has been utterly deplorable. And, it's clear that their actions are not only condoned by their chain of command, it is being actively encouraged. The top cover they have been given granted must surely instill a mindset of impunity, which may be a contributing factor in the shooting of Renee Good.

Oh, but that isn't what the video shows. And I believe the agent drew his weapon before she started moving. There is a clip of that second or two.

I can't imagine thinking "I should drive away or toward a federal officer with their gun drawn and possibly aimed at me".

I know people who refer to their wife or gf as 'The War Department' when they're in trouble and if they don't see the name on the screen of their phone, we (friends) let them know who is calling.

Somehow, the idea that he's playing Army inside of his head seems real.

I couldn’t say.

The ones increasing tensions are the mental patients in the streets. I’m not saying ICE is going about things in the best way. But their job could be made much easier without people throwing things at them and spitting on them and blocking traffic etc.
The problem with giving a pass, is that so many of them have been here for so long and the majority are still on welfare. And more than that, there’s the problem of assimilation. Or lack thereof. Keeping the border sealed indefinitely would theoretically allow for them do eventually die off. But imo that’s an unnecessary long term drain on tax money and resources. Tax money is already wasted enough. Surely you’re not suggesting we do nothing?
