The republicans just funded a gestapo force

The Democrats also funded that gestapo force, of course.

All Democrats and three Republicans—Thom Tillis (NC), Rand Paul (KY), and Susan Collins (ME)—voted against the bill.

Same story in the house. Only republicans are fully and totally responsible for this.

How can you be so stupid as to think ICE was formed by the BBB? Do you not get embarrassed being so proudly ignorant?

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world -4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

ICE wasn't formed by the BBB but under Trump it has fundamentally altered its character and method of operating in a way that will inevitably destroy the lives of millions and probably kill many of them and the BBB expand its funding which was 6B in the last year before Trump V1 to 200B under Trump v2.

So the Democrats did fund the gastapo force

fundamentally altered its character

Great to see Democrats have shifted so far right that they're defending pre-2025 ICE.

No I'm not. I'm highlighting how bad the current situation is and how bad it is likely to get

No, you were actively denying the Democrats role in funding the American Gestapo.
