We’ve gotten very familiar with Greg Bovino, the short stormtrooper who dresses in Hugo Boss and struts around the streets of Minneapolis surrounded by masked thugs — he’s almost comically chickenshit.
The Bovino gang of pathetic dumbshits
He’s going away. Apparently, we’ve finally gotten through to Trump’s narcissistic brain, and he’s become aware of the colossal PR catastrophe that is his Minnesota invasion, has chosen Bovino as his scapegoat, and is sending him back to California.
Sorry, California.
This is the way. Mock the executors of his policies to such a degree that even Trump begins to feel a faint hint of embarrassment, and TACO will look for a way to put the blame on someone. He’s even talking about a concept of a plan to maybe reduce the number of ICE goons in the state.
We should increase the pressure, not by getting any one else shot, but by making it clear that his anti-immigrant policies are failing and making him look weak. The next target: keep up the ridicule on Kristi Noem. I’d like to see her lose her status in this administration and go limping back to South Dakota.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, Bovino is being replaced by Tom Homan, a slobbering lunk who talks like he has a mouthful of marbles — or something — and is going to be equally easy to caricature. Isn’t it remarkable how so many of the Trump acolytes are like goofy comic book villains, with their ready suite of silly features? It’s Dick Tracy or Batman all over again.
Perfection.

Bovino leaving Minnesota.
Dan Bongino quit the FBI earlier this month.
ngin = vin = z
They’ll just swap him out for a new one. Trump was getting comments from the Rs that this was making him look bad. So the new guy will keep doing the same things, but will try to have things look less bad.
His replacement, Tom Homan, is not going to make things look less bad.
Is that like exchanging Röhm with Himmler?
If I wrote Trump or Miller or Homan or Bovino as a characters in a fcirtional Sf or Horror fiction; no one would believe them & i’d get the very rational and reasonable feedback that they were two utterly one dimensionallly evil and cardboardy-y cartoony evil villians to be true.
Also obvs . No one. No one would actually believe them and follow and virtually worship them.
Becoz . Dúh! Real humans ain’t that guillible or bad.
Yet here we fucken well are.
Truth really is, well ya know the rest of ow that goes yeah?..
^ how ..
Putting the OW in how and how!
Bovino is being sent to El Centro California.
That is El Centro Del Middle of Nowhere.
It is a remote city of 44,000, 40 feet below sea level, in the corner of California near Mexico and Arizona. 87% of the population is Hispanic.
I’d like to see Kristi Noem arrested and tried in court for her numerous crimes.
She is conplicit in all the murders of ICE/BP to start with.
The numbers aren’t well known since ICE/BP are the secret police and always hide their murders any way they can.
32 people died in ICE custody last year.
The body count for ICE this year with 27 days gone by is 9.
These counts don’t count the thousands deported to places they either fled from or have little chance of surviving, such as Eswatini.
We can call them the Nuremberg II trials in case people don’t get why they are necessary.
@ ^ raven : Here’s hoping. So. Very. Much.
@8 raven
Nuremberg, Pennsylvania?
The little bovine is truly a stump of a man. Here you see him with a bunch of even stubbier ICE goons wearing their Walmart military cosplay. The gaggle of CBP agents he has guarding him look like the guy in desert camo, second from the right. They kit up like they are in a war zone.
I’m glad he is getting retired, but he needs to be charged with murder and locked up in his own concentration camp.
Noem and Bondi should both be impeached, and then criminally charged and prosecuted.
California doesn’t want Bovino. You are very welcome to have him back. Of course your Attorney General should have murder warrants out for Noem, Bovino, and 2000 John Doe’s. So we can arrest him at the border and extradite him back to MN. CA and MN do have an extradition treaty, right?
I don’t think the R’s are concerned about Dumpster looking bad. They’re concerned about November. A number of them are jumping ship. Ding Dong replacing Bovine with Homan is at least a blink.
Homan is no prize…just more of the same. Heather Cox Richardson noted in her email today:
The Cava Bag ref is because Homan was snagged in an FBI sting in 2024 accepting $50k in a Cava Bag to influence contract awards if Ding Dong won. Bondi has swept that under the table, of course.
Kristi Noem is apparently on the ropes as well. She may be headed back to South Dakota to kill more pets.
I wonder how the immigrant kill rate compares to the kill rate of women who couldn’t get an abortion. I hope the GOP is fucked.
Also, another day and still no Epstein files released.
As much as I’d like to see these fascist scum get their well-deserved comeuppance, we all know there is not going to be a Nuremberg Part II or some sort of truth and reconciliation commission. As soon as power changes hands, the Dems will start whinging about “unity,” “bipartisanship,” and “healing our deep divisions” and let MAGA off without a wrist slap. (e.g. Jan 6)
@StevoR #6:
Many years ago I read a one-page short SF story which was written in the form of a rejection letter from some far-future publisher to someone who had written a history of WWII, which used a similar take that it was so over the top nobody would believe it had actually happened. “You named your main villain ‘wolf’, how blatantly allegorical can you get?”
Hey, whatever happened to that bribery investigation? Asking for a friend.
@ ^ John Harshman : Whatever happened to the Epstein Files eh?
It turns out that what we all see about ICE/BP is what we see.
These are horrible people, thugs hired to be violent terrorists. The worst our society can produce.
A lot of them have histories of violent crimes and child sexual abuse.
These are just the ones we know about.
ICE/BP are secret police and they hide their faces and their identities. I’m sure the actual numbers are way higher than what is reported here.
When they kidnap or arrest people, they usually take whatever possessions they have on them. They steal their cell phones, money, ID, documents, and whatever might be worth a dollar or two.
ICE/BP are thieves, killers, terrorists, child rapists.
Tom Homan sounds like a fake name that a Martian would take to try to blend in on Earth.
If I were a billionaire, I’d gift every black man and woman in the USA an AR-15 rifle with 10,000 rounds of ammo and have them trained as military-grade snipers.
This is related to my comment about some of them jumping: ICE violence leads GOP candidate to bail on Minnesota governor race. You won’t have to vote against Chris Madel in the Fall, PZ.
John Harshman @ #16 — If you’re referring to the Cava Bag case, Bondi decided that was just partisan politics so killed the investigation.
StevoR @ #17 Still waiting on those Epstein files…39 days late.
“Redeployed there?! I just CAME from there!”
Speaking of the ash heaps of history, the feel good propaganda movie “Melania” is turning out to be a magnificent bomb of a movie. This makes me laugh. Apparently many movie theaters are just about empty.
