Noting here that a Mormondom/LDS Splinter family based in Salt Lake City defrauded the federal government of at least $500 million in ONE scheme (biodiesel credits) and Utah still has their transportation and energy funding. (Probably at least another $500M in welfare and tax fraud, too.)

Ellison: "In other words, we didn't vote for him, so we can't have justice? Also, no president I've ever heard of received a $400m plane from a country trying to curry favor, crypto deals...he's truly distinguished himself in the area of corruption, so for him to call MN corrupt is quite remarkable"

not for the first time I note these guys pulling shit that would have gotten you extremely killed in any actual insurgency situation

Goes with this.

DOOCY: Vance yesterday suggested Renee Good was part of a broad left-wing network. What has your team told you about this? Who is in charge of it? TRUMP: I haven't seen the vice president's statement but he's generally very accurate. She was an agitator. Probably a paid agitator. She was not normal

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1

This following thread is entirely correct. Whether or not it should be a Herculean struggle to convict a law enforcement officer of even a negligent manslaughter, never mind a murder, it is nonetheless a Herculean struggle. And alas it cannot, in the end, take place in a Minnesota courtroom.

Let us hope. I think one of the great realizations folks need to have is that today the cause of liberty and the cause of tyranny are both global. We rise and fall together. I hope the Iranians achieve their liberty. I hope we defend ours.

I noted awhile ago that the Econ profession depends on a liberal technocratic form of government that this current regime simply does not need.

This is incredible. A machine says “I’m not punching you!” while punching away.

/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

More people are going to be murdered by ICE. It’s clear. The tactics ensure it, ICE is getting more furious and being disagreed with or resisted in any way, the verminous administration supports them and has shown they will tell any lie to support ICE murdering people. /1

Nearly every industry lost jobs or flatlined in the past year

Ok do America next cunt

Visitors traveling to U.S. national parks are facing a new question at the gate: Are you a United States resident? That question is already causing longer wait times to enter parks and is leading some foreign tourists to turn away at the gates.

Dangerous, reckless behavior. He should have been fired after this incident.

Guys it’s kind of wild, but apparently leaders can face very serious charges for leading coups

The evidence is increasingly pointing to the probability that an ICE agent killed a woman after misreading her as a threat because he was distracted by his simultaneous effort to record her so he could upload her image to a facial recognition database.

When fascism came to America, no one consented faster than my III%er Libertarian Militia neighbors with the We Do Not Consent bumper stickers and Punisher Skulls on the backs of their trucks.

Trump on Venezuela: "That was a perfect attack. We've taken over a whole country. We've taken $4 billion of oil in one day. That will increase."
