There is no question. are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man.

Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. Uh, man, yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is, it always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The breakfast club, bitches. All right, Shornay. please tell me why was I

your donkey of the day? Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, September 25th, goes the vice president, J.D. Vance, at some point, you and other elected officials in the Trump administration have to stop acting like regular, smegular, everyday thumb thugs. Okay, what do I mean when I say thumb thugs? I'm talking to people who get online and just bang a set. Okay, broadband, bloods and cybercripps.

They got a side. They got a team. They got a flag they're carrying and they represent it no matter what. And you can't do that when you are the vice president of the United States of America. Because even though this administration has made it perfectly clear, they are not an administration for all Americans. They should be. Okay, we should demand that of our elected officials. All right. See, yesterday morning, a sniper opened fire on an ice agency in Dallas.

The shooter fired randomly at the ice building and a van where three detainees were shot. I believe one, maybe two detainees passed away. The other is in critical condition. I'm not sure. The gunman is dead. I do know that. He committed suicide. And J.D. Vance, the vice president of the United States of America, rushed to politicize this situation. Let's listen to what Vice President J.D. Vance had to say. But what we know is that in Dallas, Texas, an ICE facility and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Facility was opened fire upon by a violent left-wing extremist. A person who wrote anti-ice messaging on their bullets and they were politically motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border. When Democrats, like Gavin Newsom did, say that these people are part of an authoritarian government. When the left-wing media lies about what they're doing, when they lie about who they're arresting,

when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement, what they're doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence. You don't have to agree with my immigration policies. You don't have to agree with Donald Trump's immigration policy. immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell and you have no place in the political

conversation of the United States of America. That's everything, right, right? Okay. So much to unpack here. First of all, framing this as an attack on law enforcement when it's not, and you the vice president of the United States of America is extremely irresponsible. Okay, yes,

shell casings found near the shooter had anti-ice written on them, but JD. You do realize there are people who voted for Trump who support Trump who could potentially be anti-ice as well. You do know that ICE isn't just deporting people who voted Democrat or who support the Democratic Party. There are plenty of videos online of Trump supporters highly disappointed because their family members and friends have been deported too. So I don't know why you would rush to frame this as an attack on law enforcement and blame the left wing and radical left rhetoric, okay? First of all, it was the detainees who were shot and killed, the detainees

who were shot and injured. How do we know that the dehumanizing rhetoric of immigrants didn't lead someone to say, you know what? F their due process. I just want to take them out. How do we know that wasn't the case? We don't. But I keep telling y'all, these politicians don't care about we, the people. They care about their politics. Okay, J.D. Vance is thinking about 2026 and 28. That's why he was quick to come out and criticize Gavin Newsom and left media for their rhetoric about ICE saying it encourages violent behavior. Let me tell you something, J.D. It is very true that there have been multiple shooting at ICE agencies in 2025.

And I don't condone any of them. Okay, there is no justification for them. But if ICE, who is just doing their jobs, has a mandate from the Trump administration to deport one million people annually, okay, not just the criminals and illegals, we see U.S. citizens included in that and folks with pending legal claims, people being wrongly deported because of administrative errors and policy changes that watching that is going drive some people mad okay again not justifying any of these shootings that have happened at ice agencies but to act like democratic politicians and left wing media are the sole reason

some people don't like ice agents well that's just intellectually dishonest okay and ignoring some very obvious issues that are happening in this country that's why i don't understand why some republicans and the vice president of the united states of america are so quick to demand that political opponents stop demonizing ICE. Hey, J.D. Vance and Republicans, how about you stop demonizing your political opponents until we get all the facts of the situation? Okay, because the political framing of this being an attack on law enforcement just isn't true. Okay, the victims weren't ICE agents.

It was the people being detained and you're jumping to blame without evidence. We don't know if any political speech led to this violence. We don't know the motivation. We don't know the background. We don't know the mental state of the show. shooter. It's all still under investigation. Not to mention. Not dimension, not to mention,

not to mention. All the data in this country nowadays points to right-wing extremists being more responsible for acts of political violence in America than the left. The left is pretty pussycat. Whoa, whoa, don't scare me now. Don't scare me now.

I'm just saying the left is pretty pretty pussycat, okay? But when the right is quick to blame, the left, we overlooked the pattern of right-wing political violence. J.D., you are the vice president of the United States of America. I don't understand how y'all ask one side to tone it down, but simultaneously blame Democrats for political violence and energize more people on the right to potentially commit political violence against Democrats in the left for zero reason. Stop being ready to politicize tragedy. You are the vice president. You need a cautious

fact-based approach. Okay, when you frame this as an attack on law enforcement, you shift attention away from things. We should be discussing, like immigrant rights, detainee safety, conditions in ICE custody, or how detainees are treated. Those are the relevant issues to this story. Okay, not to mention always common sense gun reform.

But, J.D., you can't call for restraint while using inflammatory language. You can't prematurely attribute motive and intent. If you're so worried about the rhetoric from Democrats, then make sure your rhetoric matches the facts, okay, of the situation. And framing this as an attack on law enforcement, despite no law enforcement being harmed, is not the facts of the situation. Please give Vice President J.D. Vance the biggest he-ha. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today.
