Bovino: "Something else here as far as what happened in that Target store is truly I felt sorry for the public, and the reason for that is by and large 90% of the public are happy to see us. They like to engage with us, talk with us and find out about our missions." pic.twitter.com/SppJi8WSU3

And beware of conventional wisdom:Reality: in polling this week only 28% of the public say the force used by ICE in Minneapolis is justified and 53% say ICE should face criminal charges for shooting Renee Good. https://t.co/WBejdhsmrr

"47 training days" is "Donald Trump is doing mad king shit that's about his ego, none of this is about what's good for us"53% say ICE should face criminal charges. 52% disapproved of ICE BEFORE the shooting?
Abolish ICE is absolutely necessary (the institution is rotten and staffed with thugs), absolutely justified to anyone paying attention - but not a winning rhetorical issue
Because WAY too few Americans are paying attention.
No shit it plays on here [BlueSky]- people here pay attention. No shit it plays in your personal circles. I bet you surround yourself with people who pay attention.
That's a bubble though.
"they like to, engage with us, talk with us, and find out about our missions"
ReplyDeleteThat's one way to put it. One thing I'll say for Bovino, it's actually fairly crafty of him to go on Fox dressed up like a rural county deputy sheriff.
Every police and military organization has to be de-Nazified. ICE must be abolished, the Department of Heimland Security, too. I was predicting it was going to turn out to be a fascist organization when GWB set it up and called it that. And when I say that I mean the FBI as well, it should never have another director who imposes himself into an election on behalf of his party like James Comey did. Listening to Andrew McCabe on Alison Gill's podcast, he'd probably have some good ideas about how to clean it up.
