ICE agents might fall on thier bumbums and get bruises on thier bottybots.

Not enough mummies around to kiss thier boo boos better and tell them it's okay.

Hey ... that's internal bleeding you are talking about! So heartless! So cold!

I wish their mothers had done a better job, personally. I don't doubt that their inclination towards Gestapo-ism is a result of personal failings due, in part, to shitty parenting and growing up in failure.

Idk, I had shitty parents and I'm not a fucking Nazi. At some point personal responsibility is a thing, and it literally takes zero effort to not be a fascist.

You know what's crazy? Lately there seem to be more and more extremists whose families are normal. Like RFK Jr or Jesse Waters

I don't know that I'd call the Kennedys normal. I don't know enough about Waters to comment on that. (Though I love that Ryan Grim clocked him once.)

The Kennedy family is a prime example of a assimilated Irish family, normal on the surface right fucking horrible within. My kin make fun of them.

Excuse me, I think you meant to say internal bleeding on their bottybots
