In a statement, the Homeland Security official condemned the “messaging bill” as a “clear attempt to demonize our brave ICE law enforcement — who are already facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them

Only 1000%..? Need to boost these rookie numbers guys, if you don't stop Nazis in their tracks they will walk all over you.

Also, such brave ICE officers abducting teenagers while carrying guns, couldn't think of anything less brave.

Knowing their handling of percentages, those numbers are probably just pulled out of their own asses.

Didn't they fire the last statistician that told them the truth? I'm %1,000,000 percent certain they did.

They did indeed. I'm still waiting on how the 500% price drop Trump announced for medicine will pay out.

“Here are your medications, citizen. And here is your bag of cash to apologize for having to take our medication.”

Yeah, right.

Math. Not even once.

From now on, you can't trust any statement the government puts out. Governments have always lied to save face, but this is a new level where they don't even have to pretend to have an argument or a spin on things. It's "Oops! All Lies!" because it's easier.

Why bother coming up with a plausible scenario when all anyone wants to know is the shit that already makes them feel good?
