    But it’s OK: Kristi Noem gets two $170,000,000 private jets, Trump gets a golden ballroom, a luxury airliner and billions of dollars in bribes, Argentina gets $40,000,000,000, and ICE get all the weaponry they desire plus big fat bonuses for hitting their kidnapping targets. So as you sit hungry through the holiday season, know that your tax dollars are at least giving someone a good time.

      Let’s instead phrase it that ICE gets more budget for militarization than the entire Israeli military.

      Just let that sink in for a bit. ICE and resources allocated than the Israeli military.

      It’s the 16th most funded militarized force in the world.

      Essentially equal to Canada’s military budget.

      Shits fucked
