Hey Democrats, No Negotiations For DHS Funding, Until

past procedures are followed for killings. No negotiations for money until the local and state police are allowed to work with the Feds investigating the 2 killings. Local police are to have access to the crime scene, are to have access to all of the evidence that the Feds uncovered.

This is not asking for anything new, this is asking for ICE to follow past practices.

No way in hell should ICE be allowed to investigate itself.

Say it to them, say it to the MSM. Investigate the two killings properly and then and only then will we decide about giving ICE more money.

If the Feds can't agree to this simple request then any promises they make for the future are worthless.

Democrats, you have the best argument, do not let them switch the narrative to shutting down the government.

but we presumably ended the last shutdown because we thought concessions were made about ACA funding. That never happened. Let's revisit it now.

Ending fascist murders on the streets, of course, MUST be the first order of business. And if that's all we get, that's a great thing, and we MUST NOT give in until we do get that.

But we keep going to the most horrible thing, which forces us to let go of the next most horrible thing.

Back when Democrats were prepared to vote no to the CR, but Schumer kneecapped them.

The Big Ugly Death Bill is now a law but yes, we still should fight for those subsidies.

Courts are not acting.
Not a single U.S. Marshal has slapped a warrant on even one of thousands of criminals yet.

1. Break the entire operation.
Get all the Epstein info out there. Before a penny is allocated.
That will break the international blackmail operation, Trump's blackmail and money-laundering empire, (Putin as well)

Not as likely, but way more effective;
2. Send ICE to Iran as ground troops.

My Sci-Fi prediction.
3. The E.M.P. machine that the CIA is using will blow up Trump's life-support devices.

My far-out Sci-Fi prediction.
4. Kanamits have had enough nonsense and not enough dinner.
