Donald Trump could be naked, yelling at cars on the freeway, and Republicans would still be all "Democrats have just never witnessed a genius at work".

What Can ICE’s History of Deadly Force Tell Us About the Renee Good Shooting?

Journalist Lila Hassan spent years investigating how the agency deploys force — and how it treats agents who open fire.

The cruelty is the point...

This is a terrifying, unconstitutional abuse of power—armed ICE agents terrorized a family, traumatized a sleeping child, and violently detained a U.S. citizen without a warrant. This terror must stop. ICE needs to leave Minnesota NOW!
ICE agents forcibly broke down the door of ChongLy Scott Thao, at his home in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Without showing a warrant or asking for identification, multiple armed agents entered the apartment, pointed guns at the family, and handcuffed ChongLy inside his own home. His 5-year-old grandson was napping on the sofa, woke up crying in fear, witnessing armed officers storm his home.
ChongLy was taken outside in freezing weather wearing only underwear and Crocs, placed into an SUV, and driven around for nearly an hour while being questioned. Only after fingerprinting and running his information did ICE confirm what should have been known from the start — he is a U.S. citizen and had NO criminal record. He was dropped back at home with no apology and no explanation.

The video below is an excellent response to Omar and all of the many other Dem leaders who are telling people to sit down and go home:

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

Gee, thanks I guess...

A post from Sen Corey Booker stating he's announcing new legislation to require ICE to adopt rigorous training standards and wear body cameras.

A post from Ben Rosen stating:

REPUBLICANS: we're having the military throw protesters in unmarked vans

DEMOCRATS: mark 👏 the 👏 vans 👏

Yesterday I went back to Broadview for the first time since being federally indicted to stand in solidarity with the hundreds of people who braved the cold to speak with one voice:

Abolish ICE.

BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross

KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement

BRENNAN: His name is public

NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

Congratulations, MAGAs, you’ve thoroughly and completely owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, affordable groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing.

Congratulations, Trump Supporters, You've Owned the Libs

Well, Trump Supporters, as a member of the woke, radical Left, it kills me to say this, but you win.

Not a fun subject- real problem:

Armed forces if you don’t make the right choice (constitution) you could find vigilante bullets headed your way.
