Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, condemned the arrest.
This is the same woman who voted against impeaching Trump a week or two ago.
- Define "impeaching Trump" though.
  He won't be removed.
  His support increased.
  His base galvanized behind him.
  Used money, time, political will to achieve a number. An asterisk next to a name.
  The data says impeaching Trump helps Trump. And reality defines impeachment as a waste of time. And Trump is faltering so it makes little sense to help him.
  Unless you're a Democrat that just goes on vibes and clout. People are out here farming karma on bills with zero chance to pass while more considerate politicians look bad for not playing a stupid move.
  
  Same tired excuses for why nothing good ever comes from Democrats. The same excuses as to why this man was never tried and convicted in federal court and why despite receiving 34 state felony convictions, he never spent a single day in jail. At this point it looks like Democrats and their sycophants are outright helping the Trump administration achieve all their goals.
- Any attempt to impeach at this current moment is an empty protest vote. Backing or not backing these theatrical attempts means nothing.
  
  🙄
  The neverending excuses for why Democrats can't or shouldn't ever do anything except support this fascist regime are getting quite old.
  
  An impeachment vote is a permanent record. Senators want to be recorded on the right side of history.
I saw a guy a the supermarket & thought he was kinda sketchy. I waited, followed from a distance outside. I sat in my truck for a spell & decided that I needed to do what needed being done. I went out and ruined their presentation. I’m a pretty large man 6’3 & pushing 300. Fuck these incompetent undisciplined tools of the state. Follow ice home one at a time. Do what needs doing even if there is collateral. It’s tough but it’s honestly them or us. That is the cost of war. By golly we are in it.
- How did you ruin their presentation? I'm not sure what you mean by that.
  
  Well obviously the ice agent was just reading directly off the slides and didn't know the material so as long as you ask the right questions you can catch them off guard and make them look completely unprepared.
  
  I was correct, they were ICE agents & when they tried to do their job of looking for people, I annoyed/ harassed the gestapo. We are at the when good people did nothing phase.
- Some guy followed a Hispanic customer into Gamestop here, recording him and threatening to call ICE. He ran off before anyone working there could talk to him, but if he goes back, he's going to be trespassed.
Do you suppose ICE feels heroic, arresting a dad at a preschool?
What pieces of shit.
- Yes. It's like asking brownshirts in Germany if they have any shame. We are past the point of no return right now.
  If you have the means to leave the United States now is the time.
