Economics of the Heart: Ice on the Ice…?

Over the past year the Tweetser’s Ice-Men have consistently established themselves as mean, angry, muscle-brained bullies who get off on pushing people around, beating them up, hauling them away to far-flung gulags, and torturing them further. The entire ICE program, like Hitler’s SS, is solely to lay the foundation for citizen capitulation to the ongoing billionaire-funded, Supreme-Court-approved authoritarian overthrow of United States Constitutional government.
Since the November election, as Ice brutality has expanded to sow chaos in major blue cities, demonstrations against them and all things Maggit by millions of voters across the country have been coalescing toward functioning Resistance movements in every major city, towns of all sizes, and even our tiny Island.
Since the tragic, filmed-from-every-angle murder of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minneapolis, the entire nation is demanding an end to their brutality and complete lack of accountability. At the same time, the entire so-called “Administration” continues to deny that things we have all seen on camera from many angles did not happen.
These events, along with the Tweetster’s bizarre Greenland nonsense, his attack on Venezuela, and the months of brutal bombings and criminal murders of scores of unnamed people, in open boats in international waters, are in flagrant violation of international law. Year 1 of Maga II pretty much confirmed that the main purpose of Republican politics these days is not to govern for any “common good,” but to privatize federal assets into a corporate structure controlled by and for the benefit of a handful of emotion-incapable trillionaires.
To close on a lighter note, and to remind us that a) the real fight is just beginning, and b) even social media addicts and former cap-sporting Maggites are starting to wake up, here is a clip from Jimmy Kimmel of Ice agents in their very own Ice-capades.
