I also want to add that every single time ICE has physically hurt me, they have grabbed me by my chest. Most of my femme friends have said the same. I will not be surprised if / when we find out about twisted sexual assaults conducted by ICE agents with these gloves.

Too bad the Brits didn't have these when the Colonists here were acting up here.

We could still be speaking the King's English.

Funny how Trumpers don't mind stifling protests when it's other people doing the protesting.

"We must restore the soul of America, no matter that the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) slaughtered 43,391 Palestinians in Gaza during my administration and the tens of millions of progressives, pacifists, pro-Palestine volunteers, and Samaritans are all disgruntled with the Democratic Party and me because of that.

That's what the "soul of America" means. Putting the needs of 7,320,000 Israeli Jews over the needs of 340,840,000 Americans and 2,200,000 Palestinians.

So, enjoy the electric shocks everyone!"


"FUNNY"

Fascism is always on the hunt...its hate needs to be fed, night and day, and Trump is the clearest example of that. Has Trump done anything of merit in regards to the poor and powerless in America, for those who cannot afford their rents...cannot find a health plan that lets their children get covered?
Sure, there are governmental programs but Trump and his gang are doing what they can to take those lifesaving programs away. Many people have died since they shut down USAID.
