    Democrats will never dismantle an organization that they gain so much from. Prior to this year, the largest increases in federal funding to ice and the department of Homeland security have come from Democrats. Who else is going to do the record number of deportations for Democrats if it wasn’t for ice and Homeland security? And I’m sure I don’t need to remind anyone that the one currently running things for Trump was running things for Obama.

        Shouldn’t it be primary season for the mid terms now? Are there any left, or at least progressive, candidates running anywhere?

          It’s going to start any minute, at least in terms of ads and stunts and attention-seeking social media things. But as we get closer to mid-year we’ll see a lot more chaos and carnival stunts, culminating in November when it will be full on “raw dogging a warp jump with no navigator” level of chaos and bullshit to wade through every day.

          I don’t know who’s running, but I know how i’m voting. With a few exceptions, all incumbents must go. Every last rotten piece of ancient, withering meat who hasn’t made any attempt at reform or pushback is out on my ballot, and this should be our goddamn ANTHEM.

          They didn’t mention the 2ndd part.

          Dismantle to Democrats. Liquidate the Republicans.
