SEND US YOUR ATHLETES.
NOT YOUR STORMTROOPERS.
Italy, cradle of civilization, home of Michelangelo, espresso strong enough to restart a heart… has drawn a very clear line in the Alpine snow: NO GRAZIE to Trump’s gestapo like secret police.
Because nothing says Winter Olympics like downhill skiing, figure skating, and—apparently—America exporting ICE currently starring in viral videos of cold-blooded executions of peacefully protesting US citizens, threats to journalists, and menacing vibes straight out of an oppressively sinister Netflix series nobody asked for.
The pitch from Washington is adorable.
Relax, they say. These aren’t the scary ICE agents. These are the nice ones. The polite ones. The ones who definitely don’t kick down doors or wave guns around—except when they do. They’re just here to “support,” which in government language means hover ominously while pretending not to touch anything.
Italians, to their credit, responded with the universal human expression for nonsense: Are you f**king insane?
Milan’s mayor called ICE what it looks like from the outside—a masked secret police force (with an increasing body count).
And suddenly American officials are bending themselves into rhetorical pretzels insisting, It’s not the SS!
Which is a sentence no functioning democracy should ever have to say out loud. If your reassurance starts with “It’s not the SS,” you’ve already lost the argument, the room, and probably your mind.
Here’s the cultural disconnect Trumpworld can’t grasp: Italy remembers what authoritarian “security assistance” looks like.
They have museums for it. Plaques. Annual ceremonies. Entire cities whispering, Yeah, we tried that once—we’ll take a hard pass.
Meanwhile, the U.S. explanation keeps shrinking like cheap Olympic merch in a hot water wash cycle.
ICE won’t patrol. They won’t enforce immigration. They’ll just sit quietly in a consulate, vetting “transnational threats,” which sounds suspiciously like surveillance wannabes with better funding.
And Italians aren’t buying it—because they’ve seen the footage from Minneapolis under ICE siege.
They’ve watched as they slaughtered Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. They’ve watched reporters threatened.
They understand that when a government agency behaves like a hammer, every situation starts looking like a skull.
So, Italy did what any self-respecting democracy does: said No.
Not on our streets.
Not at our Olympics.
Not under our flag.
Bring your athletes. Bring your tourists. Bring your overpriced NBC coverage.
But leave Trump’s stormtroopers at home.

And that’s the way this grandpa, political satirist and, now, lover of the Minneapolis residents sees it.
Dear trump,
You're a loser.
You took a guy's Purple Heart.
You lied about Michigan's "Man of the Year" award.
You took Machado's Nobel Peace Prize.
It's a participation trophy.
On Obama's worst day, and your best,
he will ALWAYS be better.
The world laughs at you.
Pathetic.
You have a president who can't spell, doesn't have any grasp of basic grammar, and doesn't read. Well, my good old Ma used to say you get what you deserve.
Listening to him again this morning, all I’ve got is this: I apologize world. As an American, I’m sorry that we have such a bad, stupid, dishonest, stupid, dangerous, stupid, corrupt, stupid, lawless, stupid madman in the White House. I’m sorry world. Most Americans are sorry.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: “if Prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America?”
Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope).
Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.
Here's a list of people I blame for where we are today.
1. Merrick Garland
2. Mitch McConnell
3. The Senators who voted not to "impeach and convict"
4. Fox News
5. The people who "sat it out" in 2016
6. The 147 Republicans who voted not to certify the election even after Jan 6th
7. The Roberts Court, especially Alito and Thomas
8. Judge Cannon
9. The owner of this app
Who am I missing?
GOP-controlled Congress let health subsidies die, premiums exploded 114%, millions kicked off insurance. Republicans call it victory while voters call it robbery.
Nothing screams working-family values like medical bankruptcy—proof that MAGA thinks health care is optional, unless you’re rich enough. Period.
