I Saw A Commercial This Morning That Talked Up ICE....

in a positive way. This must be part of Tr**p's new strategy on softening.

I don't believe Tr**p for one second about this conciliatory softening campaign on ICE.

This is a public relations effort for this administration to try and make them look good.

By the way the press & the media is buying this softening campaign - they're being sucked
into another round of Tr**p lies.

This is a planned effort that just didn't happen overnight. Such that this is a coordinated effort that was in the planning for days.

Be smart - don't fall for this sham.

-- to paraphrase the late former president George H.W. Bush, who famously said he wanted a "kinder, gentler nation" in his acceptance speech for the GOP nomination for president in 1988.

Yup, the GOP has sure given us one hell of a kinder, gentler United States over the past 38 years, hasn't it?

That video of the TRUTH that has been circulating (that includes both murders) ought to follow but our side doesn't have the unlimited funds that stealing taxpayer $$$ provides.

Given that Democrats have signaled they aren't interested in abolishing ICE?
