Sherry's avatar

If he wants to have Democrats or anyone in that matter that his wife should be deported as well.

If it's about his sister, still not fixed on this end.

Aaron reports :

second fatal ICE-involved shooting in America has now occurred,

It wasn't that soccer fan so the whole 🌎🌍 would be as informed as we are , nope the world doesn't notice otherwise they all stayed home 🏠🏡

Dana Bennett's avatar

And so it goes, Aaron! Good work! Keep going!!!

BigLeagueBluey's avatar

CORRECTION: this isn’t the 2nd fatal ICE shooting in America. It’s the 2nd fatal ICE shooting in America this week.

Aaron Parnas's avatar

Yep, I meant it in one week but I see what you mean.

Shelley Melanson's avatar

He said the second one “IN ONE WEEK”. Listen before assuming or repeating.

BigLeagueBluey's avatar

This is what was written: “A second fatal ICE-involved shooting in America has now occurred, this time in Maine, and the videos emerging from the scene are deeply disturbing.” I didn’t assume or repeat anything. Try reading before you respond with an unnecessarily rude post. It was a correction, not a commentary.

Trumps ego is so frail. A judge will laugh at him.

Tena 401year Isle Center World's avatar

OMG this is outrageous in one week , the best they kill president and his fam and al these Eppstein pedos and all redumbicums likking the asss of the president so they stinks the same BS

Tena 401year Isle Center World's avatar

Aaron reports :

He ( Pedo the first of Cum) also shared a video calling for the arrest and deportation of democratic socialists, including Sen. Bernie Sanders.

ABSURDITY !!!INSANITY

this AH ( Pedo the first to cum) knows he has to be dead by the time the BLUES arriving in the ruins of the WH ( like Berlin in those days) otherwise he will be put on that huge stake ,i like the most , reflecting in the Blue reflection lake, jammering about his crimes and yelling of soooo much pain " he never will make that mistake again " , let him die very slowly because it's a liar only a cheap liar which did so much bad to his voters , even reachout and touch someone's hand will be impossible high in the air on that spike .

Tena 401year Isle Center World's avatar

when Bernie has to go in excile he can come to the first ever small US started 445 years ago still Free in all their Spirits .

Tena 401year Isle Center World's avatar

yep they invented also this Jenever alcohol thing ,it's really spiritually and free spirited

Petya Stefanova's avatar

Ah yeah ? You are a little angry at thinking people , aren't you ? Shut your ugly mouth!

Kitt's avatar

That makes 51 ice murders this year

Linda Harris's avatar

I'm sure that there are actually more than the stated 51.

Sue Marie's avatar

I bet there are, just like all the mass shootings that are not covered by the media because it's the norm in the US. Stats say there's more than 1 per day.

The R's who allow mass shootings to continue are disgusting. No one needs a military-grade assault weapon on the streets but they turn it around to say it infringes on their rights. I will bet very few, if any, in the US haven't been personally touched by one, yet the R's don't seem to care, not even about their own relatives, friends or neighbours.

Janice Darling's avatar

Some people want the 14th Amendment (birthright citizenship) to be interpreted as pertaining only to slaves because that was what was happening and on people’s minds at the time they crafted the Amendment. I say to them— then under the 2nd amendment we should allow people to own blunderbusses but not Glocks, M4 carbines, AR-15’s or the like since that was what was used and on people’s minds at the time they crafted that amendment. It would certainly help curb the slaughter that pervades America these days.

Connie Larsen's avatar

VOTE BLUE!

202 225 3121 or 202 224 3121

Call any n many members of the house n senate!

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW!!

Blanche JUST CAN’T be our AG! He works for trump! He will screw we the people!!

So, tell your friends n call n just say no!!!

Kitt's avatar

http://Senate.gov

house. Gov

Look up your rep call them email them make them stop Trump tell them you do not want Todd Blanche confirmed do it

Wendy B.'s avatar

There was also a report released yesterday detailing the thousands of people injured by ICE's illegal and inappropriate use of crowd-control weapons, such as pepper balls and tear gas. Some of these injuries have lead to permanent disabilities.

Sue Marie's avatar

I will bet there's many lawsuits pending or to be filed by the evil doings of this admin and who's gonna pay? The taxpayers, again!

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

That total can't reflect those who died in the concentration camps under the watchful eyes on no f'en body.

Robin's avatar

Aaron. You have a very strong stomach for this…I admire your courage and strength for this charade of loyalty by MAGA. BLESS YOU!

JaneC's avatar

That's just terrifying

Connie Larsen's avatar

To damn many fatal ice shootings!!! The shooters need to be held accountable!!

Maureen's avatar

Important clarification!

Robert W Quinn's avatar

😡😡😡🤬😠😡😡😡😈

sheryl jeffries's avatar

Todd Blanche shouldn’t be confirmed

Phillip's avatar

Confirmed? He should go to prison.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

I second that motion!!! Lock them all up and toss the key.

Linda Harris's avatar

He needs to be disbarred and when trump is out, he needs to be prosecuted. If he is prosecuted before, trump will pardon him.

Mich L. Roy.  she/her/hers's avatar

All of Trumps pardons should become null & void. Every one of those crooks, sex offenders, insurrectionists should have to serve their time, pay the money their owe their victims and society.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

Don't forget the learder of drug cartel.

sheryl jeffries's avatar

I know; I totally agree.

Patti Campbell's avatar

He should NEVER hold ANY governmental office - NEVER!

Looking4Liberty's avatar

Nor should any of the others T has chosen.

Judy Robinson's avatar

Anyone who would confirm T. B. seemingly is taking a stance which indicates acceptance of the very same decisions he has made regarding the Epstein files and the victims. Therefore, it would seem that those stances should become public record of every individual who would approve him, in either House of Congress. Then we can see clearly exactly who in Congress is taking a stance against the victims.

Further, taking a stance against the victims in such a way would indicate an attitude toward any other victims, past, present, or future, anywhere.

Wendy B.'s avatar

Call your senators and tell them that.

Connie Larsen's avatar

202 225 3121 or 202 224 3121

Will reach any member of the house or senate!

No blanche either!

Release the Epstein files!!

Looking4Liberty's avatar

Then inundate the Senate phone and email lines asking for Congressional leaders to vote no.

Kosmos's avatar

Correct, he should be contested, contained, confined and convicted of treason and kindred crimes.

Connie Larsen's avatar

Just hell no for blanche. He is a true 🍊🫏kisser! He told a journalist if trump did not pick him for ag, what would you do. “I’d say, I love you sir”! WTH!

202 225 3121 or 202 224 3121

Call any member of the house or senate!

Thankfully you still can't deport people based on political beliefs, we need to flip congress in November to safe guard our freedoms

Sandy S's avatar

DJT is running scared! He would not be able to tell you what a Democratic Socialist stood for, to save his soul. We need to remove him from the White House before he does another thing to endanger us all. He knows he's going down after what happened this morning to Blanche. As well as all of the other things of the recent hours and days. Time to go Donnie. Say Bye Bye.

Patti Campbell's avatar

Tick-tock-tick-tock the Grim Reaper sharpened his scythe and is headed for the Oval Office.

Jaclyn🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Brit's avatar

That’s actually McConnell‘s nickname because he killed so many bills! If he’s not sitting in that hospital chair, then I reckon Mitch ‘The Grim Reaper’ McConnell is doing his rounds!

Actually he had to die to start that job!? 😯 😂

Lindsey Graham ✅

Trump… 🤷‍♀️ he has symptoms of a dodgy ticker too

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

I have trouble with that pic of McConnell. Since when does a hospital allow patients to wear dress shirts and jeans. What happen to hospital gowns, and pajama bottoms?

Jaclyn🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Brit's avatar

He’s in one of those big chairs, the blue and beige bit at the side. He changed into real ‘people’ clothes for the photo I imagine

Touchstone's avatar

And went back in time since this isn’t a current photo.

Richard Waddell's avatar

He's trying to revive Ye Olde Trope, COMMUNIST. He's itching

to use old slurs that can't be used in polite company, so he's

getting as close as he can...until he finally slips, and then?

Wendy B.'s avatar

Yeah, but it's not going to work. People under the age of 75 hear the words "Democratic socialist", they immediately think of Finland, Denmark, Sweden, etc.: all the best parts of the world.

Sandy S's avatar

I hope they see what Putin has been doing to Ukraine and how inept his military has been. How Putin has lost the ability to ship oil or use pipelines for their oil reserves. One of their few sources of profit. Russia is in deep doo-doo with few if any ways to save their economy, such as it is.

Elaine Margulis's avatar

I’d rather be a socialist or communist than a white Christian nationalist.

foosbeal's avatar

so ironic that no president has ever cozied up to putin like trump has...

Jaclyn🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Brit's avatar

My bestie used the n word as a ‘reclaiming the word’ that people do but mostly in jokes. She moved in& I’m like ‘you’re saying that a LOT’.

Now she calls us all Ninjas 🥷 😂 “you bet ninja!” but then we do Karate chop hands at each other 😂 she doesn’t say it anymore! Or in jokes!

You’re right, that’s the word he wants to use… he’s gonna eventually and it’ll be worse than the tan suit or the ice cream cone for sure.

Molly's avatar

You are right!

Connie Larsen's avatar

No Blanche!! Release the Epstein files!

Julie's avatar

You also cant shoot a mom in the face for blocking traffic but ICE is doing it.

There is always a loophole. Trust me.

The US government has a history of denaturalizing and deporting US citizens who lied about their Nazi ties after WWII. That means any immigrant who the government claims “lied” during their immigration process can be deported even if they are a US citizen.

Natural born citizens might be safe for now. Maybe…. But rest assured Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are looking for loopholes.

Patti Campbell's avatar

Natural born citizens safe???? I thought Renee Good and Alex Pretti were both U.S. citizens? I don't believe any one in America is safe right now, as long as there is a deranged convicted felon calling the shots (no pun intended).

Csg's avatar

that's exactly right. As long as there is an unaccountable fully armed, poorly trained military force in our streets, NO ONE IS SAFE! Unfortunately most people believe that only applies to people of color and I guess they don't care about them very much.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

No one is safe! At least not until we take our government back and make laws so that anything like this can NOT happen again.

Julie's avatar

I meant safe from deportation. They can still shoot everyone in the face.

Linda Harris's avatar

Don't forget all of the Nazis that the US brought into this country with Project Paper Clip. They covered for all of them. No, this US government will keep who they want regardless of lies and get rid of those they don't want even if they do not lie.

Julie's avatar

We have a precedent of deporting people who lied on their citizenship application. Im just thinking about what Stephen Miller can do with that precedent.

https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/former-nazi-death-camp-guard-john-demjanjuk-deported-germany

Julie's avatar

What i mean is that they can deport any immigrant by claiming they lied on their paperwork regardless of citizenship status even if they are citizens.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

We need to stand up for our country! Our multicultural country and our democracy!

Mary's avatar

They don’t ask for permission. They just do.

Trump and the elite are running scared. The generation they purchased is dying. The new generation doesn’t want their money. And democratic socialists aren’t afraid to work. We are driven by human rights. They can’t control us.

The elite and Trump will cause grave damage until they are told no and to stop. Congress needs to do its damn job and impeach, convict, and remove Trump, the regime, and their toadies. More will die and be deported and jailed. The law doesn’t matter to them. It never did.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

And Congress just sits by and allows it! The Republicans are making bank so they do nothing. The Democratics don't have the votes to do anything and a lot of them take PAC money so they don't do anything. They follow what their benefactors what them to do. And right now, they're making bank as long as Trump is in office.

Jaclyn🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Brit's avatar

They only JUST got back to Capitol Hill, give our dems a chance! 🤭 if you don’t already and on fb,insta,threads, find Melanie Stansbury. She explains so much! I believe she’s given a list of what she’s been working on

Mary's avatar

Where have they been since January? That’s the point.

Jaclyn🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Brit's avatar

Well, is someone watching your office the whole day long as proof of you working? Doesn’t happen to them either. They work.

Touchstone's avatar

No, but Trump and his Gestapo are still harassing and jailing or trying to jail them. His “antifa” and “communism” attacks are shades of the McCarthy era. And no, Trump has “no shame.”

Batya Lee's avatar

Our country’s government is already abducting people without warrants, holds them in horrible prisons, and deports them without their families or resources to manage their chaotic circumstances. Do you really think they won’t do that to people for whatever reason they want?

Donna Stowe's avatar

If Trump arrests Mamdani, Bernie, AOC, this country will #explode He needs to STFU NOW.

Every Time he doesn’t get his way — one court case after another collapses in on him — his congressional #majority can’t pass his bills, he goes on a #dangerous rant against Democrats.

THIS has to STOP before he orders his criminal #thugs to arrest those he’s threatening & deports them illegally. I’m sure Netanyahu would oblige him after watching what happened to Ro Khanna.

Ashley's avatar

That’s what he’s banking on. They have been trying to start a civil war for years but no one - except for the January 6’ers - really took the bait.

Richard Waddell's avatar

Yep. He wants violence, but MLK knew better. Trump and the KKK crowd

never learn.

Richard Waddell's avatar

That's why he built the farcical fight cage for the 250th celebration of our country. Nothing like that happened for the 200th, in 1976. A dope who has

lost hope, because his hope has always been distorted at its inception,

destined to fail, like a house built on sand.

Windee's avatar

They want a civil war not a revolution! A revolution is what we need they want us fighting each instead of them

Donna Stowe's avatar

I don’t want to fight anyone. Just a new government.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

You're right and we can't let them win!!! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Donna Stowe's avatar

Who said anything about a civil war?

Wendy B.'s avatar

But they will lose. MAGA are a teeny-tiny minority and highly geographically concentrated.

Jude's avatar

30% isn't exactly teeny-tiny, and they're spread throughout the country. And because they've seen Trump pardon truly violent insurrectionists who had set out to murder Pence, Pelosi, and whoever else, today's MAGA probably feel they'll get a get outa jail free card from Trump even for shooting us.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

You got that right. ICE is Trump's personal militia.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

Don't you mean White Supremacists and Christian Nationalists!

Lee Lenard's avatar

Explode verbally, yes. Explode physically, no

The consequences will be same as that for all the physical destruction he has done to our Nations Capitol….lot of news, some protest but no physical exertion to STOP the dictator.

It takes the strength of the Military, state national guards and U S Marshalls to stop and correct this out of control dictator. Democracy no longer exist in the U S so whatever power forces that can be activated need to take back our Nation.

S. A. Linden's avatar

Yes. He/they are baiting us. If they are too damn stupid to see that the newer generations want this (and a lot of other Americans) they will have a tiger on their hands. The Trump Administration are trying to "coup" us. I cannot say that strongly enough.

I have a warning for them: do NOT mistake silence for being passive or apathetic. You are making a HUGE mistake.

Donna Stowe's avatar

“trying to ‘coup’ us?”

What do you think we’re living through?”

S. A. Linden's avatar

We're in the process. It's not too late. There's still time to stop a full blown coup. I just don't trust the DNC to know how to do it. They are not aggressive enough and play defense more than offense. Republicans always seem to keep them on their back foot. Dems had better hire some new consultants soon or better yet, *listen* to their constituents.

You can't do it exactly like the GOP, because they manipulate their voters into thinking a certain way. Democratic voters don't appreciate being manipulated. Just do the things you promise, and promise big things!

Lee Lenard's avatar

The DNC is to busy knocking off some of our best candidates that could oust some of the trumpers.

S. A. Linden's avatar

Exactly right. That's why a lot of us are advocating for a Progressive Party, which can put some pressure on the DNC. I don't think we can do remake the DNC w/ just singular candidates. These corporate Dems don't care as much about winning as they do not appearing "extreme."

Carol Bushnell's avatar

They already have completed the coup. We just haven't adjusted to the reality.

S. A. Linden's avatar

As long as we have judges like Judge Williams of Florida, we still have a chance.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

We might be down but we are NOT out! I refuse to believe that.

Patti Campbell's avatar

I am looking for the masses to rise up and we'll have another civil war on our hands.

Kayan Sherrer's avatar

Any one on Facebook, X, Substack, or any other social media that bad mouths Trump is going to be targeted if Trump has his way. It doesn't matter what color you are. THAT IS WHAT WILL BE COMING IF TRUMP AND HIS MAGA CULT HAS THEIR WAY!

Ronni's avatar

But they will be stopped. Graham's death, McConnell's illness and absence, Republicans losses and resignations, the war in Iran getting out of control, the huge judgment against them...the tide is turning. God is answering our prayers and will win over evil

sheryl jeffries's avatar

ICE needs to be abolished

Denise Breault's avatar

ICE should indeed be abolished. And those individuals involved in ALL the shootings should be prosecuted and, if found guilty, sentenced. They are simply one man's mercenaries, private army and thugs. Remember the brown shirts of Italy and the gestapo of Germany?

sheryl jeffries's avatar

Well said. I’m just so tired of this administration. They are Stephen Millers and Trump’s gestapo.

I hope they all have to face accountability.

Patti Campbell's avatar

The ICE goons are paid murderers. Shades of Nazi-Germany.

sheryl jeffries's avatar

They really are. I hope they all get prosecuted.

Ramona's avatar

We should not forget Bondi.

Jane S.'s avatar

or Noem. She's got a LOT to answer for.

Patti Campbell's avatar

Never forget her lying mouth. She needs to be prosecuted.

Margo Lodge-Seven Oakes's avatar

It was his daughter and wife. He was on his way to work. They killed the wrong man.

Rain Alyse's avatar

The wrong man? They shouldn't be killing/shooting anyone. Their fucking murderers.

S. A. Linden's avatar

Exactly. Better to pass up a perceived opportunity than to murder someone in cold blood. And it should be seen as precisely that.

Rain Alyse's avatar

They're acting as if they're the judges, juries, and executioners. They take lives into their hands and end them on the spot with no consequences and everyone we pay to represent us just treats us as if it's another day, no big deal 🤷‍♀️ HOW are they allowed to murder people in the streets in broad daylight with absolutely no reason whatsoever? How is this any different than a Ted Bundy, a Jeffrey Dahmer, or a John Wayne Gacy?

They are worse than wild animals. At least animals kill for survival. These godforsaken monsters kill because they have “power”.

S. A. Linden's avatar

But it makes a really loyal Trump State Militia. Murderous. We don't say that word enough for these murders.

Rain Alyse's avatar

True. Very, scarily true. Luckily, they're not the only ones with second amendment rights. I'm not saying ANYONE should hunt them down the way they do other people, but I am saying the camel's back is breaking...

Patti Campbell's avatar

I can't imagine how his family is coping with his murder. Yes, I call it murder - not killing. He was a hard-working man who raised a very responsible family. How many others have put three sons through college on the wages of a common working man? I feel so demoralized about all the murders that are taking place at the hands of the ICE goons.

Jude's avatar

of course it was murder, cold-blooded murder -- whether he was the "wrong" man or not.

Amer's avatar

tRump saying that the United States has entered a “new” war with Iran is fvcking bull💩…triggering a new 60-day War Powers clock that allows military operations to continue without congressional authorization once again!!!! Come on Congress DO YOUR JOB!!! Article 2 Section 4 NOW!

Kristina Kumar's avatar

It’s astounding how he finds and creates loopholes to do anything he wants to do. The government isn’t set up to prevent this because no one thought that anyone would do this kind of thing right out in the open.

Jeffrey Spencer's avatar

Let’s be clear here…there are NO “loopholes”. What we have is a Congress that has, as a body, willingly refused to uphold their rights and sworn obligation to protect and defend the constitution and their constituents from these atrocities. The only way to address this is at the polls this November.

lynda's avatar

White Supremacists needs to be deported. The only Communists in this country are in the White House.

Nicoli's avatar

Ok so I understand you’re probably both using “communist” in a derogatory way fueled by US propaganda, but you’re also both objectively incorrect.

Trump and his billionaire friends are CAPITALISTS. If we fail to understand that capitalism has failed (by producing billionaires who leech off of the labor of the working class), we are bound to repeat this horrifying period of history we live in.

CB's avatar

No, the term communist is correct in this instance because under Trump the government took a stake in a major steel company and a tech company. That’s government ownership of industry and/or the means of production. It’s staggering hypocrisy.

Kristina Kumar's avatar

Yes, NINE companies. Not communism, sure, but definitely the closest thing this country ever had to the government taking control of the means of production. And don’t forget the control and influence of media companies. Therefore, Trump’s statements are stunning hypocrisy.

Nicoli's avatar

That one action may be a communist trait, but calling this government communist because of one action is a questionable decision. It’s definitely hypocritical on the government’s part as the Trump administration tries to portray communism as some kind of enemy.

Also note that your use of communism is very different from the comments I was remarking upon, and your interjection does not function to nullify my original point.

Julia Leszko's avatar

Nicoli, sweetheart. Communism is bad. It is authoritarian, totalitarian, cruel.

A few examples of this form of government include what was the Soviet Union, while Russia still is communist. Some other examples include China, North Korea, Vietnam.

In a communist nation, an individual is not special. A person does not have individual freedom. One’s existence is solely to benefit the communist regime.

Socialism should be defined as government service management style instead of as a form of government. That, because a nation either has democracy or a form of totalitarianism. The form of totalitarianism usually goes either FAR right, fascism, or FAR left, communism. Both forms of totalitarianism suck shit, whereas, parties argue which one is “better”.

Some communist governments used or have used the term ‘socialism’ in their countries’ titles to describe their authoritarian government. It was/is NOT the socialism you are counting on. The word ‘Socialism’ used in these countries’ formalized titles is the marketing term communist governments use and have used to define their communist regime in order to soften the murdering cruelty affiliated with Lenin/Stalin and Mao Zedong’s communism.

My father escaped Soviet occupied Hungary in 1949 because his father told him there is no future for you here that includes freedom of expression, beliefs, choices. My mother’s family that did not leave, always lived in constant fear, uncertainty, looking down, dutiful behavior, so that one doesn’t disappear or lose their job. For me, in visiting as a young teen in the mid ‘80s, goulash communism struck me as not having proletariat propaganda billboards, as was in communist Slovakia .

Entertaining that some communist regimes allow and promote capitalism now bc it is easier to cover services with businesses, less expensive for regimes than having to truly control *EVERYTHING*. Is better not having starvation as was common in China, USSR, etc. And mind you, these businesses do not behave freely or independently in these countries.

Nicoli's avatar

Your feelings against Communism in the way you mean it is valid, I cannot disagree that a fascist dictatorship under any political ideology is a very bad thing.

However, I think you miss my point, which focuses on the propaganda surrounding “Communism” as a scare tactic. Now we can see that the Trump regime, starting with Mike Johnson, have decided their only hope for November is to revive the fear of big bad scary VAGUE “Communism” as a way to make older voters who still have Cold War propaganda in their systems vote Republican.

Unfortunately, they of course are not actually referring to the Communism you refer to. Instead, they target popular political figures like Mamdani, and try to conflate Communism with Democratic Socialism.

I warn against amplifying this messaging by throwing around the word “Commie” as an insult and creating confusion around its true meaning, as confusion and fear around Communism is part of the Republican tactic to stay in power.

Michela A. C.'s avatar

billionaire douchebags are the socialists and communists.

Angie Goodwin's avatar

Why are they handcuffing a dead man?!?!

Cheryl Hooper's avatar

Probably because they were going to make up a story to cover their asses so they had to try to make it look like something happened while they were cuffing him.

Kristina Kumar's avatar

They will say he was resisting arrest and people will watch that video and tell themselves that they see him fighting back.

Sylvia Domotor's avatar

Because they are cowards, perhaps he wasn’t completely dead and could attack them. No, more likely doing it to convince witnesses he was still alive.

My heart bleeds for his wife and daughter for the trauma, pain and unforgettable memories they will have.

Hopefully the 3 year old will forget.

Jude's avatar

She will never forget. That experience is seared into her bodymind and will impact her the rest of her life if it's not healed with the help of others.

Sarah O'Neil's avatar

I can't even begin to imagine how they can possibly recover from this. Ice was in a quiet residential neighborhood and shot four bullets into an innocent young man's windshield. WTF? How do you get things that wrong? They are trigger-happy, racist, untrained, immoral scum who believe they are invincible with a promise of immunity for any charges that come down upon them. There is nothing they can say to explain this away. It's a miracle they didn't hit the child or Joan’s wife if she was in the car too. My heart is broken for this young family and absolutely furious with our “government” for allowing this to continue.

Brianna Amore's avatar

"Sprinkle some crack on him, Johnson."

Rebecca B. Arthur's avatar

This was my question also

Anthony Rupert's avatar

To call an ICE agent a POS would be an insult to excrement.

S. A. Linden's avatar

I don't know how their families stand them. Are those "bounties" still up? If this mayhem is a product of their perverted bounty system to fill for-profit detention centers, it must be investigated. That was Noem's filthy work.

Americans are not seeing nor acknowledging an extraordinarily corrupted and ominous system. Creating a mass system of for-profit concentration camps all over the U. S. should force us to ask "What is this really for? I thought once the immigrants were gone, we would not need them anymore."

For whom is all that new infrastructure intended? And that's the tip of the iceberg of the questions we should be asking about that despicable infrastructure.

Jude's avatar

I truly believe all those concentration camps are being readied for Trump to round up political dissidents -- i.e., anyone who disagrees with them -- and dump us (yeah, us) into them.

Thankfully, our federal judges have held the line so far, but if we don't win the Nov. election, there'll be no holding him back. Judges and journals and comedians will be hauled in and locked up, along with Adam and the other Jan. 6 Committee members -- thanks to the Rep Congresspeople who were too afraid of him politically to speak up when they still could. With no midterm election to worry about, the gloves will come off. He's got his gestapo and the FBI and "Justice" Dept. are all his. The Sup Crt would be powerless to stop him.

S. A. Linden's avatar

I think you're right. Why else would they do it? Project 2027 or some Vought crap. If a whistleblower ever whistles on this, all hell will break loose. I think they have to culture the population more, into the fear of the "other." At least that's their thought. We should have put a leash on Fox a long time ago.

Hopefully, we’ll be given the option to self deport first and someone will take us.

Too many of us. And fascism is brewing in many other countries as well. No, alas, we've got fight this here and now, starting with winning the Nov. elections. We need a comprehensive list of things we can be doing, from local ones, like registering voters to working with larger organizations, like VoPro Pros.

Well, I'm a Democratic Socialist (also known as a Social Democrat) and I'd be interested to know where they think they'd deport me to since my family roots go back here thousands of years. Long before white people arrived on these shores! 🤬🤬🤬

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe we should be deporting the actual fascist instead.
