39. If you have ever known a person
Thu Jan 8, 2026, 01:28 PM
Thursday

on the Border Patrol.....you would know immediately why Trump's Republicans are using them above all others......
The type of person that gravitates towards the Border Patrol, makes them a special breed, and way beyond perfect for Trump's Gestapo.........
Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, White Supremacists, and Militia Members aren't far behind in my opinion......The perfect pool of individuals for them to recruit from........

AND, as we have witnessed for the last ten years, there are an un-fathomable number of Local Cops and Sheriffs that are just as bad, giving the good cops and sheriffs a bad name......I can't tell you the TENS of MILLIONs of dollars that have been paid out by City Councils, using taxpayer money, for Police Brutality by the Aurora Co Police, and Denver Co Police in these past years........
It is sickening, and like a horrific nightmare that you can't wake up from........(The Colorado State Patrol and some surrounding Sheriff's Department LEO's are fine outstanding individuals, BTW)
