Just another right wing skank doing her skank thing.

These people are simply sociopaths and narcissists crying out for attention. Why society listens to these defective human beings is beyond me.

And yet nothing will be worse than this one:

"And by the way, for all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white. But this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa, but Santa is what he is, and just so you know, we're just debating this 'cause someone wrote about it, kids."

She compared the issue to that of the portrayal of Jesus.

"Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change," she said. "Jesus was a white man, too... He was a historical figure, that's a verifiable fact, as is Santa. I just want the kids watching to know that."

Tangentially related....

ICE agents are going to be the personal protection for Rubio and Vance during Olympics in Italy?

What happened to the secret service?

The ICE agents will have a great chance to make some money in Italy. They're going to make a killing.

If we're looking for historical comparisons, ICE is less of a law enforcement agency and more of a closely-controlled paramilitary or personalist strong man faction. The deployment and expansion of their use and roles shows the degree to which the current regime prioritizes personal loyalty above all other considerations. ICE owes its sweeping remit, vastly expanded budget, and perhaps most importantly, the promise of immunity from any consequences (i.e. even if not shielded from investigation then the expectation of presidential pardon) to the regime. Therefore, they have (at least as the regime sees it) every incentive to be perfectly loyal.

Independent agencies or branches of state power like the secret service don't have that same buy in.

Is it smart to prioritize loyalty over everything and to assume that a personalist paramilitary faction will remain loyal? Eh, maybe don't tell the regime to google "history of the Praetorian Guard"

The Italians are unhappy.  Probably are doing a little better at remembering the lessons of history and wish to avoid occupation by the brown shirts.
