A bunch of anti-ice and deportation libs losing their minds on TikTok.
Let's go!
Ice, ice, baby.
Oh my, stop.
If you work for ice, you.
You.
And your mom.
That middle nose ring, always a bad sign.
Your great-grandpa.
I hope your pillow is constantly warm.
I hope you stub your toe every single day.
I hope every single time you put on a new pair of socks, you step in a puddle of water.
I hope you always have an itch on the bottom of your foot.
I hope your gas tank is always empty.
I hope you hit every single red light when you're driving.
I hope you're always stuck in traffic.
I hope you win the lottery and die the next day.
You're a piece of shit.
I can't even be offended by this.
I mean, ostensibly she's saying all these things to me because I support the ice raids and everything.
That video is not about the ice raids.
Look at her.
She is actually an attractive woman, though she's trying to make herself unattractive.
I bet she lives in Los Angeles.
And what she's doing, what this video really is, is not a creed to occur about the ice raids in the immigrant communities.
It's her trying to do a little stand-up routine.
It's her trying to be cute.
I hope you always have an itch on the bottom of your foot.
She could have just as easily done the same bit about climate change or about, I don't know, some war.
Or about taxes, even.
Or about airplane food.
It doesn't matter.
It's really just about her trying to ingratiate herself to a certain audience and get attention.
Probably from fellas.
Okay, next one.
Innocent f***ing citizens are being thrown into a f***ing morse zone for the color of their skin!
National f***ing guard has been deployed in Los Angeles, my-Donald Trump!
To suppress peaceful protests!
Peaceful f***ing protests!
That's not all!
They're planning aggressive ice enforcement for 30 f***ing days in L.A. of terrorizing immigrant communities!
How they want to send the f***ing U.S. Marines!
Are you f***ing kidding me?!
A little longer than a few minutes later.
This is our First Amendment right!
Fascist f- That guy, I bet, has had a lot of zins.
That looks like a pouch addict to me.
To me, those videos don't do it for me.
I mean, it's kind of funny, but to me it seems contrived.
I don't think that's organic.
Because no one can keep up.
I don't care.
You could be the fattest, sweatiest Sicilian in the Bronx.
You can't keep up that degree of anger and wrath that long.
Sound noises!
Nah, no one buys that.
They're playing this...
But even they don't believe it anymore.
You know, even they don't believe, oh, the poor immigrant community is wearing keffias and waving the Mexican flag and burning cars down.
And no, you're not going to persuade anyone.
You're not even convincing yourself.
Everyone loves that the Marines are going in and rounding these people up.
Everyone loves it.

You've heard me talk about balance of nature many times.
That is because balance of nature, fruits and veggies, is the most convenient way to get whole fruits and vegetables daily, especially if you're focused on creating a healthier, happier lifestyle.
Nature is pretty good at giving us the nutrients that we need through our fruits and veggies.
So, balance of nature takes fruits and vegetables, freeze-dries them, turns them into a powder, then puts them into a capsule.
You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day, then your body knows what to do with them.
Balance of nature is just one ingredient.
A balanced lifestyle has no intention to replace a healthy diet, exercise, sleep, or any other healthy habits.
It is intended to be used in concert with other healthy habits.
Right now, you need to be like many people around the office and go embrace Balance of Nature.
Mr. Davies, who I've mentioned before, he's kind of a beefcake.
He loves Balance of Nature.

This is our city!
And this was Mexico!
You can't kick us out of the land that was ours!
Donald Trump!
Fascism!
Let our people free!
Let our people free!
Suelta nuestra gente!
Suelta nuestra gente!
We will not do 1992 again with your f***ing tags!
I was 12 then!
I'm 44 now!
I will die for my f***ing kid!
Because I'm an LA native mob!
These are my f***ing children!
You're fighting!
F*** you!
Made your best!
If you can hear me, explain my f***ing to your office on Monday before I'm talking to my children!
You know I don't speak Spanish.
In English, please.
Does anyone have an English translation of that that I could consult?
I did catch the first part, and I think she kind of gave away the game.
So this is our land!
This was Mexico!
Notice we shifted from is to was.
This was Mexico.
I guess it was Pangea at some point, wasn't it?
But it ain't anymore.
And you can't kick us off land that was ours?
Au contraire, mon frere.
You obviously can kick people off of land that was there.
That's what she's trying to do.
She's saying, you federal government, you get off my land.
You get out of here.
You ICE agents, you Marines, you get off my land.
They're here.
It's their land now.
Is there an argument she's making?
No.
It's just screaming.
I mean, I guess this is the through line of a lot of these videos.
It's all screaming.
Because if you have a coherent view, you can just make it quietly and calmly.
If you don't quite know exactly what you're arguing, you have to get very loud and yell and have your blood vessels and veins pop out.
And so that's the last cry of a defeated ideology.
Next one.
Do you sorry, sons of a **** that think that you're just going to go and **** arrest a bunch of protesters because they're out there doing something you're too afraid to **** do?
They're out there fighting for our freedom?
It's always this nose ring.
It's the bullnose ring.
It's the sign that something's going horribly wrong.
You think you're going to march in those streets and tell those people to shut the f*** up?
That is what you decided to fight for.
You chose to defend us against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and you f***ing failed.
And that's why they're out there on those streets.
So who the f*** are you to tell them to shut the f*** up?
Why don't you grow a pair?
Oh, there's the Palestine thing right behind.
Do you see that?
Wait, is this about Mexico or Palestine?
Or is it really the same issue?
I love it.
You can see when she moves her head and is screaming about whatever.
And in the back you see the Palestine sign.
I thought she was talking about Mexicans or Hondurans or what does that have to do with And actually that issue has very little to do with either Mexico or Palestine.
It's this leftist liberationist movement that...
I mean, she gave herself little devil horns and a bullring on her nose.
It is no coincidence that these people, over time, make themselves look like demons.
The world is rich in symbols, and all nature is but art unknown to thee.
Wherever you're at, we all have a common enemy.
It is the same one.
Everywhere you go, when you go down the street, there's the enemy.
There's the enemy that works for the other enemy who they all work under.
So we all share the same common enemy.
Everybody has the same enemy.
From L.A. to Africa to Palestine to Vietnam, we all have the same enemy.
That's one enemy.
And it is not me.
And it is not you.
And it is not them.
We are not the enemies of each other.
They are the enemy.
That's right.
There is only one enemy, and we all have to work together in unison to fight this one enemy.
That's right.
Capitalism and imperialism, the more we can grow as a people, and the quicker we can get to this revolution and overturn this mother.
That's right.
Initially, in the comments, it says, the enemy is the police.
But then the woman filming is saying, the enemy is capitalism.
Capitalism.
But then I was listening to it.
I said, the enemy.
Because I have this joke in my head.
We all have this one enemy.
The Jews, of course!
That's probably what these guys think.
Oh, shut the f*** up.
But then I said, from L.A. to Palestine.
They said, okay, well that actually, my joke answer actually kind of fits there.
But then Vietnam, that doesn't, that really doesn't quite fit.
The sincere answer to that, we all have the same enemy.
Really what these people are saying is God.
That's the enemy that they all have.
What they're rebelling against is order and hierarchy and authority.
And so the enemy, when they're in their little homes, when they're rebellious teenagers, the enemy is dad.
All of liberalism comes down to screw you, dad.
Daddy, chill.
What the heck?
And then the enemy is the police, because the police are a symbol of authority.
And the enemy is Trump, because he's the symbol of national authority.
And then, ultimately, it's God.
Who is the ultimate authority?
You can have independence, I guess, from the cops, maybe, from your dad, from Trump, from some other nation-state.
Palestine can have independence from the state of Israel.
Vietnam can have independence from the French.
You can have independence from colonialism and imperialism.
But you can't.
You really can't have independence from God.
It's not about Palestine.
It's not about the police.
It's not about the sun monster.
That's really what it comes down to.
And it's why I'm not on their side.
I mean, I am on their side in that I wish what's good for them, but they have no idea what's good for them.
As you can tell, because they can barely form an English sentence.
