I cant wait to live in Trump's new america. A man with a gun stationed in all public places to keep us safe from those dirty poors.
Thank you circle members!

When I visited a place in Central America this was what the grocery store looked like. Although the guards probably had a lot less authority to just kill anyone, and their faces were uncovered.

American grocery stores also have security. None of them are federal agents.

The one security dude I see standing by the door in some US grocery stores isn’t kitted out like this. The difference is the level of violence they’re prepared for.

Target sells hairspray and lighters. Or whatever.

Wow, mission creep after being funded in the way this outfit was funded. Who could have imagined...

They don't want to defund/reform the police but they'll replace them with masked thugs which implicitly tells us that the police are useless and need to be reformed in SOME way. And of course there's no outcry from pundits about this shit since it isn't a Democrat or leftist doing it.
Our media has been inching us towards fascism for decades and they finally got us there. Tapper, Bash, Weiss, Murdoch etc... deserve the guillotine as much as Musk, Thiel and Trump do.

Imagine going to the mall and seeing federal agents slamming a child to the ground for petty theft.

Do it. Send ICE to arrest people in churches. Do it now. Arrest them in darkened movie theaters during the third act. Arrest them in the fancy restaurant lunch hour downtown. Fucking hick fascist fuckwits.
If October doesn't wipe these fuckers off the map it's time to start packing up anyway.

Hey now us hicks don't deserve to be thrown in with this white trash, most of us just want to be left alone in our hills and occasionally kill an insolent yuppie who wants to gentrify things.

You spelled "loading" wrong.
(To clarify, I meant loading groceries. Obviously.)

Didn't they just destroy some moderately high profile persons career over a glitch in a self checkout? Can't wait for random people to get murdered or deported because the scale fucked up.
