OK, I know we’ve probably all figured out what a bunch of dumb thugs are in charge of our country by now … but this? This is the criteria that was the basis for the hiring of the director of ICE.

Trump gave an aggressive anti-gang speech at Suffolk Community College Friday, congratulating Kelly right after praising Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan, who Trump recalled someone on television had said “looks very nasty, he looks very mean.”

BTW, if you haven’t seen it, there’s some excellent pieces starting to trickle out form principled ICE agents about how the agency has basically turned into the Stanford Prison Experiment, aimed at Latinos.

They are fucking with people. Because they can. Because their sadistic impulses have been given leave to run free. Straight from the top.

These people mistake cruelty and violence for strength. This is going to get worse before it gets better.
