Note that for Trump finally put the brakes and fire Bovino

It took the murdering of a white male, veteran, VA nurse, and gun owner. Never mind all the brown people who died before, never mind Renee Good. Hopefully, this does get ICE to pull back but, tragically, it had to come to this.

Who happened to be all those other things, too.

They could overcome the killing of an uppity woman, even if she was white. But killing a white male, especially who was all those other things? Now they pissed off the wrong people.

Sigh ...


All of the senseless killings and injustices are horrible. The Alex Pretti killing was especially gruesome ... but I still say being a WHITE MALE is what FINALLY put it over the top for many of our fellow Americans.

thats over a 1000 of them. There will be some ICE left over but I believe that too is going to be reduced. Trump and his goons made the mistake of pissing off some of their supporters by questioning the 2nd amendment.

They were perfectly ok when it was about arresting, beating and terrifying latino/brown people but the second they touched Pretti and tried to argue that he could not bear arms, that was a step too far with the GOP. I think that was the deciding factor.

When they killed him.

It sounds to me like you're saying they backed off because he's "more like them".

Adios.

That Alex Pretti should not have had a weapon. the 2nd amendment is sacred for most MAGAs.

They are NOT going to stop at all. They are regrouping with the Miller agenda. They are sadistic psychopaths and NOTHING will alter their agenda to bankrupt then kill Americans.

The 2nd murder of an innocent American only makes them more gleeful. Just watch Miller's speeches from 1999 to the present. Do NOT be fooled...Miller and his murderous agenda to destroy the USA is very strong and deeply rooted.

Do NOT be lulled into complacency, especially now!
