“I have to tell you – one of my favorite things to watch on YouTube these days are … court hearings where illegals are in court and Ice shows up to drag them out of court and deport them,” the South Carolina representative said during an appearance on Sunday on Fox Report Weekend.

So glad people like this insane cunt are voted into positions of power

Got a love electoralist politics and hierarchical power structures. All of society being controlled by the outcome of the lowest common denominator. Such a wonderful system, ain't it? (/s)

Those "positions of power" only have power because we collectively "agree" to concede to their authority.

We could always collectively organize to do something else ... but that means effort and risk needs to be taken. Sadly, in my experience, not enough people are ready and willing to take those risks . . . yet.

The problem is you want real actual change for the better, most voters just want their team to win because they think it's the lesser of two evils.
