Democrats will get pummeled if they say abolish ICE, there's another way.

DHS funding expires Feb. 13th, if Democrats were to just demand that the Gestapo goons must follow the law, such as having local and state police be allowed to investigate the Good/Pretti killings and any other shootings, with full access to evidence collected by the Feds, guess what, Congressional Magats will not agree to that. Then let the funding expire and blame Magats for not agreeing to reasonable rules.

Democrats have the upper hand here if they stay strong, but Schumer and Jeffries are off to an awful start.

Said "pummeling" certainly would have been the case a year ago, now "abolish ICE" seems the sane, moderate position 0rganism Feb 5 #50

We should be saying, "You guarantee there'll be no more murders, kidnappings, illegal entries, Scrivener7 Feb 4 #3

The Democrats are using the same playbook AZProgressive Feb 4 #27

And at the same time, Steve Bannon is saying ICE mzmolly Feb 4 #28

There is no "softening on masks". FascismIsDeath Feb 4 #25

I think the masks are unfortunately necessary gulliver Feb 4 #26

Why should ICE be permitted masks thucythucy Feb 4 #31

They are being targeted in an organized way gulliver Feb 5 #35

Law enforcement has always been a relatively risky profession. thucythucy Feb 5 #37

But we have "law enforcement" using cheap IT to track and attack citizens. THAT is where the law is breaking down. Scrivener7 Feb 5 #58
