It's the same people; they're just state-funded now.

They’re giving them 50k signing bonuses. It’s a pretty obvious ideologically-gated handout.

America sprinted into V for Vendetta, and pluralities around the country clap in approval. Wild.

Everyone knows that American cities are hives of scum and villainy. It says so on the news every day.

I'm glad the president is fixing this problem. Now the TV is going to tell me the cities are nice, and that makes me happy.

Why don't you want nice, clean, peaceful cities, like we had when I was a child? Are you a criminal? Are you a Muslim Terrorist? Get out of my county! I hope ICE gets you!

Don’t forget, if you want to talk about equal force, you’ll be banned from this community.

If they're anonymous, how do we know they're federal agents?

Fight like hell, don't let them take you. These mfs are going to get popped eventually.

If you can get paid for doing what you love you'll never work a day in your life.

I almost guarantee the reason trump pardoned all the J6ers was to recruit them for his gestapo.
