Bill Kristol: ICE and CBP agents "don't need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch."

[highplainsdem]

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

1. Fuck you, bill Kristol

You own this

ETA:

Without all this person’s support of everything evil, none of what happens today would be possible

He was a PNAC Founder, rightwing stalwart … supported everything that is absolutely wrong …


Until I see him prostrate, begging forgiveness, he is only another grifting piece of shit, making a living from the devastation that he authored

2. I mean, not really

He was actually one of the more vocal skeptics of the creation of DHS. While most Democrats of course supported it at the time

6. He is basically a liberal who only supported bush because he was a proponent of democracy building and regime change

A position, I think he admits to be tragically wrong about…

10. No he doesn't. He has always been against Trump

7. Okay I just read a comment on bluesky that

was from Schumer (looked official) saying that Senate would not vote to fund ice at the current levels. Maybe someone better at linking from bluesky can post it. Seems big.

9. Not a caveat I love but I'll take whatever we can get at this point
