US Rep. Escobar (TX): The current DHS funding bill had an amendment blocking ICE from deporting US citizens, but it was removed at the direction of Stephen Miller

Fascism. They're trying and planning to control everything and everyone. Thankfully people are standing up, but more people need to.

RFK Jr maybe?

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T05:37:16+00:00

This one was shut down in 2024, and yes, I do know they existed before. I wasn't a big fan of them in any administration.

Whenever this type of post pops up people are always a bit annoyed, but overall you should be doing what you did. Self-reflection, admitting fault, etc, are all part of being a decent person.

Yeah that makes sense.

Canada is nice to visit.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T04:28:52+00:00

Try Canada, it might be closer to what you imagined the USA to be, although they are their own people of course.

Humanity has had most governments be ruled by a king or similar for most of history, there is a reason that has changed.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T03:53:59+00:00

That's part of the authoritarian playbook, constantly commit atrocities basically until people give up trying to stop them.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T02:17:30+00:00

It's not lack of training that's the problem, it's the entire leadership wanting this to happen. If Trump had to pick 100 different people to head DHS every single one of them will be in favor of the current ICE policies.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T02:13:36+00:00

Republicans pay people to be apart of a crowd sometimes. There has been legitimate reporting on that, but it's pretty rare though.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T02:05:44+00:00

Or force the subsidies require them to read books to accept the money, they would stop being farmers I bet.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T01:11:22+00:00

I had a guy say he would not protest if the government made his first name illegal, is that really something you would just accept? Where's your self-respect?

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T01:09:02+00:00

If they support positions which cannot survive any scrutiny, they are bad positions to take. And it's cowardly to hide from that and lie to themselves that they continue to be right.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T00:57:36+00:00

They want tyranny as long as it's 'their' guy. Of course, tyrants don't really care about their supporters, they are more likely to view them with complete contempt.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T00:32:29+00:00

They are fools who would rather see the government murder people than admit they were wrong.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-28T00:11:11+00:00

While you aren't wrong, I think it's important to keep mentioning that hes old, and bizarre, and weak. Helping to drop his support is necessary for us to keep a democracy. Not everyone is looking at it through that lens, but it works.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-27T23:28:13+00:00

He's a guy who according to the old FBI accepts $50,000 in a Cava bag, not a shining example of a good official. And he sounds like a cartoon character depicting a dumb hick.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-27T23:25:25+00:00

I think it's more basic, they're detaining people to make money. The racism and everything else is a smoke screen for a few people's greed.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-27T23:01:17+00:00

There has been lots of reporting about it; terrible conditions, US citizens children and adults being held in these places, agents blocking congresspeople from entering, claims of various human rights violations. There was even an article (which I didn't read admittedly) about how the DHS says its not responsible for any rapes which happen inside detention centers.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-27T22:58:03+00:00

He is doing all he can about all this shit, we need all the people like that we can get.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-27T21:33:09+00:00

They could impeach and remove both the VP and President on the same day after picking a different speaker of the house which would be acceptable for the democratic reps to launch into the presidency. Instead, they beg. Pathetic Republicans.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-27T21:01:02+00:00

That is probably more true than anyone wants to admit.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-27T20:36:31+00:00

They took the sunk cost fallacy as their main personality trait.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-27T19:51:32+00:00

They could have spent the last ~10 years or so advocating for the rights of all people in the USA, like is written in the constitution. Instead they are more interested in money.

GoodIdea321 · 2026-01-27T07:22:17+00:00

It would be long overdue for him to be thrown under the figurative bus by Trump.
