Anyone able to read this article - it talks about 6 prosecurtors resigning or being forced to launch 'fake' investigations;

Here is a gift link.

Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

If and when we overthrow the MAGA and ICE cabal, and have the balls to prosecute the shit out of them, I am all for the death penalty. I will change my position just for that.
Mixed feelings.
As in... if they take this any further. That'll certainly be warranted.
But if they take this any further... ain't no one having trials ever again. The word prosecute suggests law and order. We'd be in an armed conflict so messy, it might as well be post apocalyptic.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung describing the heckler: -

“A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage"

Sounds like Cheung is describing his boss, a mentally ill nutjob who posts on Truth Social in the middle of the night. Virtually EVERY night!

Is Trump really flipping him off? His hands are so tiny it’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on there. The fuck your feelings crowd sure is emotional these days. Republicans really hate the 1A.

Donald "I support American workers" Trump: -

"It’s actually a good thing Ford can’t hire enough workers. You’re gonna have a thing called robots, and robots are gonna be a big factor. I predict that robots are gonna be a big factor in the future and it’s gonna help out"

Robots will replace you! I hope the union workers who voted for Trump enjoyed that one. lol! Oh, and Trump forgot about your $2000 checks too!

Wow! Trump's such a visionary! I've never heard of robots before today! This statement would have been prescient in, say 1979. Grandpa Dementia, as per usual, has no idea of what he is talking about. Robots aren't the future, they've been in use in manufacturing for over half a century. Saying it in 2026, just makes him seem really old and completely out of touch (Duh!) Trump’s brain is cottage cheese. He's still trying to figure out magnets. Trump calling worker shortages “a good thing” is pretty ironic when manufacturing jobs have tanked since he took office.

"Trump loves the working class"

-- Trump voters

It would be a real shame if people learned they could make a lot of money out of calling the president a pedo to his face during a media appearance.
And if you're a reporter, you have a perfectly good way to frame it using the Trump method: "people are saying you're a pedophile, [insert whatever question you want]..."

We’ve hit that point where the FBI can now brazenly raid a reporter’s home and execute searches and seizures to unmask sources aka “whistleblowers”. Fascists gotta fash.


Edit: Here’s the WaPo article that likely put her in the crosshairs (archive.is link)…

Coming soon to exurban and rural communities near you:

“One Manufactured Crisis After Another”, starring the dynamic duo of Donald Trump and RFK Jr.

They mad that crime is down nationwide, but they need an excuse to send more ICE gestapo goons to cities across the country. So yeah, let’s just cancel billions in funding for mental health services and addiction treatment. What could go wrong? Oh, and who cares if this backfires massively in red states like Ohio etc.—just blame local and state Dems for being “soft on crime”.

“Well, I am going to,” he responded. “The tariff money is so substantial that’s coming in, that I’ll be able to do $2,000 sometime, I would say toward the end of the year.”

😆
You've got to be MAGA stupid to buy bullshit this concentrated.

Given the scale of this I think it's basically a certainly that China has successfully diverted exports through 3rd countries and into the US.

A large majority of voters, 86 percent, would oppose the United States trying to seize Greenland by military force, according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University. Fifty-five percent also said they would oppose the United States trying to buy Greenland, though they were divided along party lines, with 22 percent of Republicans opposed, compared to 85 percent of Democrats. The survey interviewed 1,133 people from Jan. 8 to Jan. 12 and had a margin of error of 3.7 percent.
