$70 fucking billion for Trump's personal federal police force.
Nothing concerning here... Right....
70 billion dollar increase!
Can anyone clarify, is this another $70 billion in addition to the $70 billion they'd already been granted in the last year? $140 billion total?
Also, Collins and Murkowski again getting a performative no vote to try to shore up electability. If they truly had an issue they'd leave the GOP. I don't know how any voters fall for their schtick anymore.
Democrats are saying $140 billion total., so probably that
Well that's just... awesome. Thanks.
String up the traitors
Thats the plan. The "traitors" will be us though for wrongthink... :/
Only if it's the general populous that does it. I.E. only done by civilians. I'll never be pro government sanctioned killings. Ideally, the government falls and we all just learn how to make do and live in peace with one another, but that's an idyllic fantasy.
Disgusting. The Pedo Party strikes again.
Just so everyone understands the math...
ICE's base budget is normally $10B. They increased it by over 70B with supplemental funding in the BBB, now this is an additional 70B making their budget >$150B now.
ICE is now the third most funded military in the world...
