ICE Raids and Protecting Gang Members
« on: June 22, 2019, 02:28:16 PM »
From the "you can't make this *expletive deleted*it up" department, the Mayor of Chicago has cut off ICE access to the Chicago PD's gang database to "protect immigrants from being deported". The gang database. Let that sink in.

The gangs have been running Chicago for, well, always.

I thought disregarding norms was the stuff of right-wing extremism.

It's Chicago.  This is the norm.

How does such insanity not help our cause?

Hopefully Chicago will start getting busloads of diversity from the border soon.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Simple. It doesn't. It's also not their cause.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Respectfully, Trump was elected in large part due to this very insanity.

Instead of backing down they are doubling down.

They are actually making Trump look like the reasonable one to everyone who isn’t an ideologically possessed leftist.
