      He has not tweeted 20 times per day on average but let’s say he does. What you are suggesting is that ALL OF THEM are “obvious lies” right?

      Let’s go through them.

      1. BIG NEWS! The Political Crime of the Century is unfolding. ObamaBiden illegally spied on the Trump Campaign, both before and after the election. Treason!

      TRUE

      2. Every time you see a negative Big Pharma commercial against me remember, it means your drug prices are coming way down!

      SADLY SOMEWHAT TRUE

      3. Retweet of a video. Is that a lie?

      4. Sally Yates has zero credibility. She was a part of the greatest political crime of the Century, and ObamaBiden knew EVERYTHING! Sally Yates leaked the General Flynn conversation? Ask her under oath. Republicans should start playing the Democrats game!

      ACTUALLY TRUE

    2. @Albert Green I read most of it. I got the gist. I have no doubt that orgs like Qanon and Right leaning sites have miles of op ed research. But youtube IS a right wing owned social media site. As far as Saudi Arabian religion comments, I wouldn’t know but it’s probably the FBI if you’re a US citizen.

    3. @Kitt Songstad
      YouTube is very very left wing. They have deplatformed many including Joseph Watson, Stephan Molyneux (almost 1,000,000 subscribers), and Alex Jones.

      They let the Young Turks get away with saying anything but make sure Steven Crowder is in restricted mode.

      No sir, large corporations are on the side of the left because they get a government that they can control.

      Go right now and try to find Donald Trump getting praised for his work with the black community by Jesse Jackson. You might find it but buried.

    1. Mythical gods have nothing to do with human affairs. We deserve the credit when good things happen… and we deserve the blame when bad things happen.

    2. This gop “administration” is a **product** of America.

      Ain’t no higher powers who are going to intervene: americans need to not just register to vote but actually show up at the ballot box.

  1. Everything she said is TRUE about ICE ….. I have family who have first hand knowledge of how ICE agents are …they install fear in Immigrants they forget what America is made of ….IMMIGRANTS ! This isn’t a WHITE MANS WORLD this is a human world when will people learn to treat others like themselves. It’s all about MONEY , Money, money …. with America . It used to be the land of Dreamers now its the land of DEBT !

    1. @DJ Architect
      Maybe he didn’t want the same thing to happen that happened with the George Floyd video coming out which led to the destruction of Minneapolis and other cities.

      You assume that what is in this video is true.

    2. Bro I don’t know what world you live in…but THIS IS A WHITE MANS WORLD.. look at all the politics trump has pushed and look at the COVID pandemic how it’s affecting minorities more..But my experience as Hispanic man I this country..this a a WHITE MANS WORLD.. just imagine what our black brothers and sister been going thru since there ancestors were enslaved..

  2. Thank you for trying to help make this very complex and broken system more open to us. Keep up the good work!

  3. Ice officers should have started speaking up. They should have protested the inhumanity.
    But then again what would that have done. They wanted them to release it in November.

  4. They’re the enforcer, not the decision makers?? Is that the same as “I was only following orders” ?? That doesn’t work bubba, it’s an old excuse for those who blindly follow dictators and commit crimes for the government even though they know it’s wrong.

    1. There was no dictator who decided that we have borders. That’s established law for many many years.

    2. @Albert Green
      No dictators set our borders.
      Does that mean a dictator can’t use our borders for political fodder?

    3. @Richard Brautigan
      There is no political fodder. There is no dictator. This law was never “dictated” by the president. It was passed by all three branches of the federal government long ago.

      He is enforcing the law that exists in every other country INCLUDING MEXICO.

      Stop lying.

    4. “I was only following orders” is not a legitimate legal defense.
      The constitution applies to all people in this country.

    5. @Power corrupts I agree. Trump and his cult think the Constitution is only for them, they act like winning one election means they own the entire country and can do as they please.
      We need to do a deep dive on all these agencies that Trump has corrupted; I suspect we’ll see more than a few ICE agents doing prison time.

    1. We’ll settle for Biden… for now. But you can bet the progressives will primary Biden in 2024 and by that time, I expect the progressive movement to be three times bigger than it is now.

    2. -Vote Biden in- Vote Trump Out

      If Biden is the person at the front of ‘Get trump and the rest of the gop out of office’ then……fine, but that really is his USP.
      I hope he appreciates that the bigger goal of a Dem administration is to get the next generation of Democrats in place for when he retires mid-term or doesn’t run again in 2024.

      If he gets too stuck in his “I’m not ready to pass on the torch” then we’ll have wasted this opportunity.

  5. No they were NOT put in this “horrible position…… they chose this work because they like to have power and like to abuse people, with the “ excuse “; “ i have to “ obey “……. pffffft………. if you make a documentary to show how evil this all is, dare to stand behind it!

    1. @Mainely what about the problems Mexico and the immigrants from Mexico bring. U tell me to deal with it let the government take care of them.. come to my country with merit not a handful of kids

  6. I have no excuses for those ICE agents!! Too many of them are just ruthless bigots, & they enjoy it! How many of them are whistleblowers? In any case, when they’re “sent” to apprehend an “illegal”, do they need to brutalize them, treat them with disrespect, like animals? Talk to fathers & mothers with a condescending attitude? When you’re given an “order”, & you know it’s wrong, what do you think you owe to do? They say “what goes around comes around”! Karma…🤔🤔

  7. If “The love of money is the root of all evil”, then how much MORE THAN EVIL is the directive given to ICE by the trump administration?! There’s no money involved, yet it continues to happen.

    1. @Elizabeth De la fuente The manufacturer of a weapon is not responsible for it’s abuse when it is wielded by a sociopath and coward.

  8. The irony is that the administration actually thought that making this documentary of ICE would be a great idea and positive PR for the White House. What could go wrong…

    1. Every delusional fanatic presumes the rest of us will share their attitudes and ideas. Most Trumpists presume that the vast majority of America are cowardly bigots just like they are for instance.

  9. *Trump doesn’t want 4 more years of Presidency -> Trump wants 4 more years of Immunity. Let’s end this nightmare on Nov 3rd. Wear a Mask and VOTE HIM OUT.*

    1. BiNgO!!! ANYTHING to buy HIM time for HIMself is all HE wants.
      Anyone thinks he’s the slightest bit patriotic is delusional.

    2. Trump has never wanted to be the President of the United States, a position that nearly anyone would consider an honor to serve. Instead he’s wanted to be a dictator.

  10. It was so funny to watch all the ICE agents trying to justify their actions. “Im not making the decisions” or “somebody has to do this work” is equivalent of saying iM nOt bAd FoR FOr DoINg bAD ThInGs bEcAuSe I gEt PaiD fOR It.

  11. When somebody says “I’m just following orders” that tells you that they know what they are doing is horrible.
