This is the deal:

Difficult to believe the shootings in Minneapolis were spontaneous actions by the federal officers. More likely they ocurrred in compliance with policy from higher authority. Their policy is to murder protesters.

The missions of ICE and CBP seem to be changed from anti-immigration to pure intimidation of Americans, particularly those who are in opposition to the trump regime.

Counting the bullet wounds.

These are the seven House Democrats who voted last week to approve funding for ICE and Border Patrol. THEY NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR THEIR VOTE!!! 😡😡

@velshimsnow.bsky.social Who is the MS consultant you guys have on with Velshi? He just fills the air with gibberish.

The Dem leadership seems inclined to let the Rs do their worst to give Dems a better chance for election rather than try to stop them. Say this isn't so.

Mixing the games of Risk and Monopoly. Property development with military force. That's the gig.

trump might deploy the troops in Alaska to Greenland rather than Minnesota. Anyone think of that?

@jonathankarl.bsky.social Ask why a Dem doesn't turn the temp down on the heels of ICE forcibly occupying Minneapolis and killing and abusing peaceful protesters? What a biased ass you are.

Difficult to know whether Citizen's United or the Presidential Immunity decisions did more harm. But together they are destroying our nation. What could SCOTUS have been thinking? I think they find democratic government, with average people having their say, repugnant and unacceptable.

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

@shaheen.senate.gov Why are you voting for maga judicial appointments? Some political chess game you're playing or are you complicit in all this trumpian shit?

@kaine.senate.gov Why are you voting for maga judicial appointments? Some political chess game you're playing or are you complicit in all this trumpian shit?

@durbin.senate.gov Why are you voting for maga judicial appointments? Some political chess game you're playing or are you complicit in all this trumpian shit?

@klobuchar.senate.gov Why are you voting for maga judicial appointments? Some political chess game you're playing or are you complicit in all this trumpian shit?

I remember an early computer game called Chipwits, where you program a robot with certain assets, then release him into an environment to see how he performs. I see trump as the robot who has been programmed with only one asset - self interest. No empathy, humanity or logic.

This is true.The military should never have carried out illegal orders.

Somehow I had the hope that the military would not take illegal orders from the president.

At the same time as he kidnaps Maduro supposedly for drug offenses, trump pardons Honduran ex-President Gonzales serving time in an American prison for drug crimes. Has to be about the oil.

Argument with a Maga: You're a liar. No, you're a liar. You're a crook. No, you're a crook. You're a traitor No, you're a traitor. And so it goes.

In advertising the Left to be an evil enemy of the people, trump has effectively proven the Right as being an evil enemy of the people.

My two favorite Christmas movies both have songs by Vaughn Monroe.

None of this would have been possible without the rulings of the Supreme Court over the last several decades. They are the cause of the rise of fascism and authoritarianism in our nation by design and intent.

The timing of the supposed release of the files just before the holidays - on a Friday afternoon no less - is strategic. This all has been planned for a long time. Congressmen and others in power are not going to do anything before next year.

Basic reality:

Who actually thought DOJ would release the Epstein files? Who thinks they will be released in future? If you raised your hand you fail to realize the real disaster we are in. No republicans. Ever again.

Keep saying it and pass it along...

Why is it difficult to believe the FBI announcement of the LA terrorist plot that they uncovered? Kash has destroyed their credibility to its core.

The bottom third of the US population that determined the last election, made us into a third world nation run by a tiinpot dictator.

The military destroying unarmed small craft in international waters are culpable regardless of what idiot gave them orders to do so. Time to give up those pensions to save your honor.

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with: - Lifetime terms for high court judges - An electoral college for choosing an executive - A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities - 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

How can WV Gov Morrisey dare to stand up in front of his constituents having sent WV NG to DC for some propaganda ploy that trump is playing. Total BS. All republicans suck.

Did I miss something? Heard nothing on the NG shooter. Wounded? Condition? Motive? Or have these facts been hidden like all others?

Hating women is a prerequisite for republicans, even republican women.

The idea that the wealthy pay all the taxes is as bogus an argument as trickle down.

Who is this asshole on MS spending all that time defending Pirro and just filling the air with nothing.

I'm sure the reminder for the military not to follow illegal orders is aimed at senior officers. Unfortunately, these are the ones most concerned with seeking political advancement and protecting their pensions.

It is not the fault of the average people, but the super rich who with their new found power granted by the SC, are why we in this morass of tyranny, wholesale destruction of our government, and moral decay.

trump is going to screw the Ukrainians like he did to the Kurds in Iraq, our allies, in his first term. He will never support those oppressed or in need, only the aggressors and the powerful. A man without morality, empathy or a sense of justice. Only greed and power seeking. A truly evil man.

Had to watch Designated Survivor to see what the White House interior looked like before trump desecrated it.

In future, as trump supporters filter away from being in thrall with him, we should not feel obligated to offer forgiveness for their past transgressions. They are the ones who got us here.

Lots of advertising these days to entice Medicare recipients to trade their guaranteed care for managed care (whatever the insurance companies will approve). Sounds like care based on maximum profitability for the insurance companies.

So the latest con job is that the shutdown can now be blamed for economic downturns rather than the trump tariffs and other economic malfeasance.

I think AG and DG were right: The senators caved to satisfy their airline industry donors before the Thanksgiving holiday. Most travel of the entire year. Big bucks. And Larry spent two shows trying to rationalize their votes and make them martyrs.

My best to veterans on this day. In the end, it's your own respect for your service that counts.

Amen to this.

How idiotic must the Dems be to think they're going to win a vote on the ACA in future? Obvious that they don't. So they let the Rs off the hook for their government shutdown and let their constituents suffer. Great work, Dems. No more funding for you.

This Dem sellout, if true, ruins all the good news of the week. They let the traitor Rs win. Wonder how many got invited to the Mara Lago billionaire bash.
