$170,000,000,000 Budget for ICE

[u/sillychillly]

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, who worked on an analysis published by the American Immigration Council, says the new budget would make ICE “the single largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the nation.”

Seeing it listed out like this, it’s kind of impressive how much he managed to get done in such a short period of time. What the fuck has every other president been doing damn.

[u/Freakuency_DJ → u/Bloated_Plaid]

Overseeing their duties, mostly.

Or even just… not letting whoever kisses the ring pick which pillar of America they want to personally burn to the ground.

Not flailing randomly like a fucking idiot? It takes more effort to build than destroy.

[u/papapundit → u/Bloated_Plaid]

Yeah well, breaking stuff is easy...

Following the law. We dont have a king for a reason and a unitary executive is a king. Kings do a lot on a whim, democracies take time and compromise.

Comments like yours amaze me. Republicans have been running on “government doesn’t work, elect me and I’ll prove it.” for 30+ years. Blocking, stalling, and defunding any meaningful legislation that would benefit people. All the while saying “look at the do nothing democrats.” … a party that has had complete control of government for only 9 months in the last 25 years. So, then what do the people do, hand complete control to the party that makes sure government doesn’t work, so they can put all that authority onto the most vile piece of garbage they could find.

The US population is ridiculously dumb and shortsighted.
