      News snippet: A day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a 37-year-old US citizen in Minneapolis, Democrats on Capitol Hill are demanding restraints on the agency Donald Trump has empowered to carry out his mass deportation campaign – and some are threatening to use the next funding deadline to force those changes.

      Democrats sharply condemned the Trump administration over the killing of Renee Nicole Good, demanding accountability after the president; JD Vancethe vice-president; and the secretary of homeland security, Kristi Noem repeatedly claimed that the officer acted in “self-defense”.

      We all saw that the murderer Jonathan Ross, who’s name has been widely reported by the media, is a cold blooded killer. Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good. Coward, murderer Jonathan Ross, who left three children without their mother because he’s a weak, fragile man, was not in any danger and murdered Renee Nicole Good because he is the murderer Jonathan Ross.

      Don’t threaten. Do it, and then keep doing it. Do it for the rest of the century. Get Schumer to take a six month vacation so he doesn’t have to be there and feel obligated to vote with the Republicans again.

      Jfc, can we get a proper opposition party in this shithole country?

    5. ProfessionalCraft983 on

      If they have the power to do that, why does ICE still have any funding at all?

    6. Piss weak „leadership“ from the Dems again.

      Stop threatening and START DOING!

      Country is going down the plughole fast and they’re still waggling their fingers and frowning FFS.

      That threat would carry a lot more weight if they had not just caved in the end last time.

      Yes! Halt funding. Freeze appointments. Filibuster everything. Put everything in the federal government on hold until the GOP stops covering for the lame duck fascist. And when the press comes to you and asks why you’re not negotiating in good faith, tell them that you’ve been trying that for years and now people are being killed by the government with no accountability.

      Sh*t or get off the pot.

      I so hope Jefferies and Schumer lose their seats, hopefully their primary.

      Gut it.

      There is not a goddamn reason in the universe why ICE should have a larger budget than the goddamn U.S. Marines.

    11. lemonkiwi01 on

      Just do it. We don’t need posturing. We need to see the democrats are actually functional as an opposition party.

    12. Stop threatening and fucking do something. Fascism doesn’t just go away. You have to FIGHT fascism, actively, and ruthlessly.

      If Trump stops sending aid to blue states, can blue states please stop footing the bill for red states?

    14. DotarSojat527 on

      No, I think the Schumer should write a strongly worded letter and then do nothing! It’s what he’s good for.

    15. feignapathy on

      don’t threaten, do it

      DE-FUND ICE

      and so help me god if any of you vote in favor of $1.5T in military spending…

      enough of this “threaten” business – get some freaking balls and DO SOMETHING DEMOCRATS! We are all on board!!

    17. badwolf1013 on

      The Trump Administration has gutted the IRS. Maybe we ALL should withhold our funding: at least for federal taxes. What are they going to do? Audit ALL of us?

    18. I see Schumer and Jeffries in the thumbnail so I know what to expect from this. Nothing.

    19. Skeletor-P-Funk on

      Jesus, just fucking ***DO IT***! Pansy ass Democrats letting our country fall to fascism, and all they can muster is empty threats.

      They’re our voice, we voted them in to represent us, to carry out the will of the people, to lay down systems and programs that pave the way for a brighter future, and they let Trump and his brownshirt, jack-booted thugs step on our throats and watch the life drain from our eyes and all they can fucking muster is warnings about the homeland security budgets.

      Yes, I know Trump and his cronies control all facets of the government, but where’s the opposition, where’s the planning, where’d all of that record breaking money they raked in from Kamala’s campaign go? Why aren’t Democrats on TV every single day like Trump with some semblance of some sort of unified gameplan for the future? Why aren’t they organizing and protesting and laying down a progressive campaign for the present while we’re in the deep of it? Where’s the gameplan for what’s to come when the rebuilding is going to have to take place when we’re all picking up the pieces? Anything, something, right now, right this instant. Not „warnings,“ not hollow bluster. Instead, they’re sitting on their hands, dragging their feet, and watching our future being stolen away from us, hoping the midterms will change something, not realizing that their inaction is what cost them the election to Trump in the first place. No one wants to vote for a party that *does nothing* but posture without action and compromise on their values at every turn.

      Renee Nicole Good should be on every Democrat’s lips, the face of every campaign. These politicians should be in front of a camera every day, flooding the internet, giving speeches, in the streets, rallying the people. She was a mother of three, and there’s verifiable video fucking evidence of her exercising her God given American *right* and *duty* to protest, with guns pointed at her, her fear, as she’s murdered in broad daylight, in the street, in her own vehicle by ICE. The very same people who wait at schools and in line at naturalization ceremonies. Instead, they sit by and hope the midterms go in their favor. The bravery of this woman in the face of monsters, and Democrats still have no game plan, no leadership, no rallying together, none of that. Just a simple little piddly „warning“ that they better not do it again, or they’ll pull funding.

      I don’t even care if every proposition and bill they put forward is voted down by the conservatives every time they do it, at least it would look like they’re at *least* trying to do *something*. Then, when it’s voted down, get back out there, shine a light on the injustice, the hypocrisy, the hate that fuels the conservative machine.

      Fuck, I wish they’d at least *question* ***WHY*** ICE needs guns in the first place, or feels the need to use deadly force at all, or feels the need to mask their face like a terror organization. Why does Immigration and Customs need to be carrying weapons?

      Frankly, where’s the justice for Marimar Martinez? „I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.“ These are the types of comments ICE makes about harming US citizens. Those are the people with weapons in the streets threatening our fellow members of the community. Why did we have to even wait till *now* to be outraged. This is a clear Claudette Colvin situation, waiting around for the better symbol to rally around, but there shouldn’t have even been any waiting, there should have been outrage then. This time, a mere few months later, a woman was killed, by big man Jonathan Ross, and the Democrats are *still* dropping the ball and letting Trump and conservatives call her a „domestic terrorist“ for simply being stopped in front of an ICE vehicle, simply for refusing to open her car door to them, and for simply driving away out of fear when those guns are pointed at her. She lost her life for nothing, and the Democrats just sit back and watch. Trump is actively trying to cancel the midterms; cancel elections. What will Democrats do then? Because I think I know. They’re going to just let it all happen, and all they’ll offer is a „warning,“ some condemnation, some bluster, some strong words, and then it’ll be back to business as usual while this all just snowballs into a full blown fascist takeover of our country.

      I hope I’m wrong, and I hope that this is the kick in the butt Democrats need to start proposing some semblance, some concept of a plan for our future as Americans.

      They’re going to cave. It’s what they always do. But it would be nice if they held their breath and ceased all funding until their demands are met.

      They won’t. At all. They’re too scared of upsetting the “moderates” when they don’t realize they lost due to underwhelming response and turnout from the actual left…. But I digress. They had strong support last time and caved, they’ll do it again.

      But boy it would be nice if they had backbones.

    21. They threaten and threaten and threaten and threaten. What action do they actually take? None!

    22. Illustrious_Low_1188 on

      These two mopes again?

      So far behind the ball they’re off the table
