Please. Please. PLEASE.
Stop calling the masked thugs ICE. They’re no such thing.
Legitimate law enforcement of any description:
- does not cover their faces
- does not scoop folks off the street for the way they look
-does not detain with no warrant

Bingo!

Fine and well but how much money is being spent on this needless vanity redesign, money that could be better spent on myriad other essential needs.

Collateral damage. Per hubs, SWAT sniper: even the best would’ve taken off the side of his head. Blood pattern wrong. SS wouldn’t have let him stand & wave his fist.
Biggest tell? He doesn’t talk of it. At all. Those killed? Where are the lawsuits? Likely quietly paid for their silence.

A badge isn’t just a piece of plastic or metal.
It’s a symbol of access, of trust, of accountability. It’s the key that lets reporters ask questions that the rest of us can’t. When those badges were confiscated, it wasn’t just reporters who were shut out. It was us. The American people.

Thank you. No. I’d rather die a dried up old woman than let that bloated, incontinent, orange-skinned, misogynist, criminal get within 100 feet of me. Gag me.

Best treat that as your reward for a job well done. You know the ‘later’ after enjoying your strain of choice is closer to never. 😉

WTF is he talking about? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who is ’they’ firing at the thugs? And trump? He was there? He told Charlie about it and now Charlie’s dead?

Can someone decipher his ramblings please.

"What's that smell? THAT SMELLS BAD!"

Can we at least get ICE to arrest the real criminals? White pastors!

Union for US Capitol Police:

"My officers are on duty today protecting the Capitol complex.. Friday, they missed their first FULL paycheck.The longer the shutdown drags on, the harder it becomes for my officers. Banks & landlords do not give my officers a pass because we are in shutdown.."

Showed Hubs. He was profoundly disgusted by it. Never, in 32+ years on the job dinner, or anyone use such restraints.

WATCH: “shows their disdain for law enforcement”

Speaker Johnson whines about Democrats disrespecting Capitol police officers, apparently hoping we all forget the literal insurrection that happened (that Trump pardoned everyone for)

Reasonably comfortable?

‘bout the same as what Evander Holyfield wishes his ear looks like all these many years after Mike Tyson took a chunk out of it with his teeth. Oh Evander, if only Tyson had used a gun instead of teeth.

Perfect picture. Only a very insecure person would so publicly complain about the choice of photo.
He did not write that. If it were his screed there’d be all caps, odd punctuation, misspelled words and the now ubiquitous, thank you for your attention to this matter.

Grampa didn't like the photo Time chose 🎻

Though this particular version seems spot on to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ll bet that’s a boatload of fun (pun intended).

Saw him in a little bar in Ypsilanti - the Red Rooster if I recall correctly - before he made it. Saw him at Cobo for the Live Bullet recordings.

He’s had more than enough practice over the years to be that fcuking ignorant. He seems to wear it as a badge of honour along with his 🖕🏻to the idea a MoC should wear a suit/jacket.

Keep at it. Boots on the ground are critical for success.

Mockery and laugher are extremely effective weapons. They rarely miss their intended target.

Steven Beschloss @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 2d

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.
