Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Fascists eventually end up turning on their own. Let the serpent eat its own tail.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Bruley said he opposed abolishing ICE but disagreed with how federal officers were carrying out immigration enforcement.

I’m shocked that Chief Piggy doesn't want to shut down the gestapo. He’s just sad that they’re picking on his fellow pigs.

Man, I sure am conflicted. On the one hand, ICE is rapidly becoming brown shirts. On the other hand, the irony of cops being upset about having guns pulled on them because of their race is pretty funny.

Just wait until ICE starts turning on the POC within.

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

That’s like way later though

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Idk seems like they are expediting everything because they know Trump doesn't have long.

[–] USSMojave@startrek.website 4 points 9 hours ago

They also need to cram in as much BS as possible before the midterms

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 38 points 11 hours ago

Fucking pussies. These are masked, heavily armed terrorists. Any police worth a damn should be shooting them on sight.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 29 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm surprised ICE thugs haven't started pulling guns and kidnapping each other.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 15 points 8 hours ago

The 'good' Latinos among ICE will be the last to be headhunted for a bounty. They will be no different from the workers at a Mexican restaurant.

Dumbass

[–] Honse@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yep, "I love Nazis but don't like them when the do Nazi behavior". Actual dumbass when he's the one being effected and still does t recognize it. They really don't select the best and brightest, do they.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 hours ago

He fully understands it, it's just the us vs them mentality that cops have. He just doesn't want the facade to crack because he knows he'll be in deep shit if they say the quiet part out loud.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 28 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Hopefully the pigs will just kill each other.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 36 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Losing the support from the local police certainly isn't one of their brightest moves.

[–] bookmeat@lemmynsfw.com 19 points 12 hours ago

No, see, if they harass the coloured cops, the remaining white supremacists will rejoice.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 8 points 11 hours ago

Is the FOP still going to release statements in support of ICE?

[–] FolksVelo@mas.to 22 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

@Redditsux in case there was any remaining doubt that ICE is racist

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

What exactly is the point of tagging OP in your comments?

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Possibly a Mastodon user. Federation works across platforms, too

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Ohhhh, I forgot about that!

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 11 points 14 hours ago

No surprises here

Fucking LOL!
