Now they are straight up just arresting journalists out in Minnesota.

I hope when Hakeem Jeffries shakes Michael Johnson's hands when they make whatever stupid deal they're making, I hope he falls over and hurts himself. Mike Johnson is pure evil, and Jeffrey's is his enabler

Democrats seem to think averting a government shutdown will will the people over more than allowing a shutdown I guess. Stupid logic IMO.
What is the path to victory with a shutdown? ICE and CBP have huge buckets of money to fund their operations through like 2028 from the reconciliation bill, whereas a shutdown hurts other programs like FEMA and generally hurts government workers.

Meanwhile, the House-passed DHS spending actually had some meaningful changes, like flat funding ICE, cutting the CBP budget, funding FEMA and ending some of Noem's games with that aid, and some other oversight items to keep DHS from moving money around willynilly. It definitely isn't enough, but it was pretty good given the current political power circumstances. Perhaps with more recent developments, additional things can be gained.

They should've held on last year instead of caving. All the polling was against republicans. Now people are paying triple-quadruple for healthcare because of their cowardice.
Republicans were not on the verge of caving, and instead, were happy to let millions of people starve as they fucked with SNAP and kept government workers working without pay.

Looks like shit in Minneapolis has barely changed. Less smoke on the ground, they are being slightly more restrained - but the kidnappings and other illegal detainments are still happening. Just heard Walz on NPR literally say that - not much has changed but a little less smoke on the ground - that's a very close paraphrase.

You need a massive national uprising against this. Meanwhile the Dems think they have won some big victory. I am pretty sure at this point Chuck Schumer cares more about Israel than his constituents - the average American person that is.

ICE shattered a rear window of a car. Left the car there with a 1 month old baby to freeze to death.

Agents shattered his driver’s side window. Glass sprayed over the baby’s car seat, Nene Barry said. Her husband was arrested and pulled into an unmarked police car. Officers left the scene in a matter of minutes.

Nene Barry, who does not have a driver’s license and speaks little English, was left alone inside the car with her infant.

Curious to know what the driver's intent was there. Likely was looking at the crowd of protesters and not in front of him as he was driving away.

His intent was to cause shit. Report said he drove by several times before stopping, likely working himself up for a confrontation. Whether he actually hit a child accidently while trying to stir shit seems irrelevant.

He also did a hit and run... Basically little Hitler youth looking to score MAGA points.

What's going to be heartbreaking is if we don't get record voter turnout in Nov. Many people bringing issues into the public conscious but a good portion of the population can't bother.

I can't help it to confirm in my mind that there's a whole lot of MAGAts that whooped it up and cheered when they saw the clip of one of their own hit that student with his car.

It's a fact the more Trump takes a ratings hit and spiral downward as a trend, the more upset his MAGAts become and true to form, they express their anger with violence against Trump's perceived enemies because this is precisely what Trump wants out of his minions. He wants to suppress and eliminate any form of criticism about him. However, with the ubiquitous cellphone cameras at the ready, the practice of lying their asses off whenever Trump and his disciples commit crimes and then try to shirk responsibility for their actions simply doesn't work anymore.

The eyewitnesses and phone cam recordings of the recent murders perped by Trump's punk thugs proved far too convincing for Trump and his lackeys to try to bullshit their way out of. Yet they, meaning Trump, his hirelings and that propaganda entertainment cable station they run sure did give it their best shot. And glory be, it totally backfired in their faces when the plethora of evidence showed up and proved the Trump propaganda campaign to shift blame onto their victims was as phony as Trump being POTUS.

You have to wonder just how much $$$ that driver is going to get gifted with from his go fund me account.

Hmmm.. Don Lemon should probably not have been in that church, I mean, trespassing on private property is trespassing on private property .. what could have been a valid argument on the side of moral righteousness is now in the shitter.

The other people in that car looked high school age. Wondering if it was a student and buddies.
Absolutely it looked like a MAGA high school kid. I'm willing to give him a pass because he's probably 17 years old and stupid if it comes out that he wasn't purposefully targeting the girl he hit.

How is it oppressive government when they're enforcing the law? Obama did the same thing and no one said a word, he even gave Homan (the guy doing the same job now) a medal for the great job of removing three million illegal's.
We need to be clear about this. The only reason we have people protesting is because it was Trumps plan. If joe Biden had ordered it he would have been praised for the great job he was doing protecting our borders.
Hey bootlick, it's oppressive government because:
  • They're violating the fourth amendment by breaking into houses without warrants
  • They're violating the first amendment by pepper spraying, beating the shit out of, and murdering people using that first amendment right to protest
  • They're violating the second amendment by murdering people lawfully armed
So fuck off with your false equivalences bootlick.

Why do people insist on having dialogue with literal piece of shit fascists by responding to their posts? Just ignore them and stop giving them fuel for their evil.

I am a little perplexed why all the complaints are about ICE and not CBP. CBP did the Alex Pretti killing, but I think Renee Good was ICE?
