That last one. Why waste a breath when you can use it to lie with?

You see what dickheads Il Douche is installling in his cabinet ... try to imagine what they're hiring for ICE.Some racist asshole reported the California workers to ICE - that's how they operate, on tips from "concerned" citizens. And of course there's "no record that ICE officers went to state labor offices β€œseeking specific individuals.” When you're in the business of destroying lives targeted by anonymous rats, keeping records only gets in the way.Welcome to the police state of Trumpistan. The orange shitgibbon can't be impeached soon enough, but it won't be any better in Pencelvania.

β€œThe ICE agents told me they were deporting the kids because Lizandro got into college, and that showed they intended to stay in the U.S."Oh, wow, oh wow, oh wow.

My SAR group works very closely with several county sheriff's offices (not Denver County Sheriffs; they don't work with anyone) and they work very, very hard on outreach to the communities they serve. The City of Aurora has said that their school students speak 130 different languages and they've recruited minority cops from other parts of the country to serve the community.

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has been desperately trying to walk a fine line. He doesn't really want to formally announce Denver as a Sanctuary city for 2 reasons: 1) The term 'Sanctuary city' is not a legally-defined term. 2) Hancock is trying very hard NOT to put a thumb in Cheeto's eye. Oh, and there's a BONUS reason: 3) As a legal weed state, Hancock is really trying to hard to make nice enough that Sessions doesn't send a cadre of DEA agents to shut down our fully state legal (and an awesome source of tax revenues for the entire state) cannabis industry.

Legal weed is more of Gov Hickenlooper's bailiwick, but Hancock understands that he's the mayor of a big, progressive city.

On a personal note, the mayor's big brother used to live across the hall from me. Really nice guy. Michael was the baby of a huge AA family.

As a civil servant myself I can tell you she knew the job was dangerous when she took it. A little snark can't keep a dedicated civil servant down.

Pretty much the same way The DEA spends billions to stop a few "million"(I'm not sure what metric they use where a pound of weed has a street value of like 20k) in drugs. A finger in the dam that costs more than educating all the scary brown people that come from Mexico. But why do that when you can be racist?

Those reeducation camps might come in handy right about now.

Unfortunately for Trump, he only has the part where he demands loyalty down. The rest is failure.

I can tell you one thing for sure, the shitty weed that comes from mexico sure isn't worth 20k a pound

I do too. Thankfully most people give zero fucks about Shkreli so hardly anyone will notice.

We are only just beginning to see the top of the ICEburg. Just yesterday I was asked to show a photo ID to dump my trash at my local landfill...no shit...I have resolved to snap to attention and shout jawohl! from now on when asked for photo ID to do anything.

Sheesh.
