There is an article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer today about ICE spending millions for decked out vehicles.

Last edited Sun Aug 24, 2025, 07:10 PM - Edit history (1)

They are spending 2.5 million for 25 Chevrolet Tahoes and $174,000 for custom gold-detailed vehicle wraps emblazoned with the words “DEFEND THE HOMELAND”. This is absolutely sickening. Also an article about the Orange Assface shutting down a wind farm that was under construction in Rhode Island. When asked why he said it’s because he hates wind.
Why is no one stopping this insanity? We are living in hell.

Contractors playing football with bricks of $100 bills? I think we will someday see examples of the same kind of waste in ICE.

As I recall $8 million in cash was never accounted for. The Bush administration explained that there's a lot of confusion during wars.

1. It messes up his beautiful thick golden hair;

2. Wind causes him to make bad shots and send his caddies ahead to drop his balls (golf balls, that is);

3. Wind is something he cannot control, not with insults, taxes, levies, tariffs, the Army, or blackmail.
