I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks. IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

Do not be afraid to confront a murderous scumbag. I've upset a fam member by telling them that my life is worth the freedom of all civilians. It's what members of the military are supposed to be recruited for. To insure our freedom. Not overthrowing foreign leaders for the betterment of petro corps.

If you're a Republican, but aren't willing to try and save your party from Trump, you are a hindrance to the wellbeing of the nation.

Sen. Tina Smith: "How can we trust the federal government to do an objective, unbiased investigation, without prejudice, when at the beginning of that investigation they have already announced what they think happened? ... they have completely destroyed any credibility."

Members of Congress have a clear, spelled out legal right under the existing DHS funding bill to be allowed into these facilities without this notice. So if Congress is going to keep funding DHS, there must be meaningful restraints to rein in this brazen lawlessness.

If the Democratic Party doesn't support nationwide strikes, then how are they not active collaborators of fascism? The absence of action in the face of authoritarianism is literally a pro-authoritarian strategy, and if I'm wrong, then bring me ONE official Dem Party surrogate to explain it to me.

Do your parents know how to shoot and upload video, or livestream, from their phones?

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

🇻🇪 Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as interim President by the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela.

Hey Donald, bombs dropped on African cities don't somehow avoid the Christians you claim to be trying to protect.

So. Will Trump try to claim "war powers" and attempt to suspend the midterms?

Break it & take it. With 299,953,000,000 barrels, Venezuela had the largest oil reserve on the planet in 2016.

In 1980 Reagan stifled the economic future of Americans. epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/

My boss asked me if I know why Trump wants to attack Venezuela. After I explained to him that the nation has a large oil reserves he ranted about drugs being weapons of mass destruction. And, that they don't have any means of refinement. A couple of quick searches and I ruined him. Citation counts.

Thanks to the state of the economy my prescriptions are less affordable. It's not that the price has gone up. But, the price of nearly all other necessities has. Especially rent. Over the past ten years it has more than doubled for me.

i guess we should just all share the PBS FRONTLINE & PROPUBLICA documentary on CECOT youtu.be/Lku5h9xjrqc

The Donald J. Trump, Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Files

Chinese cyber gang reportedly hacked Foreign Office data www.channel4.com/news/chinese...

My co-worker would tell you that her hand is guided by the hand of God when she's in the voting booth.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Tell your Senators and Rep they need to support this bill on unmasking ICE and displaying clear ID here:

Could it be that Trump's celebrity aura has worn away and he's now seen more as a politician?

I think that there are two branches of Trump supporters. The Christian white-nationalist wing, MAGA. And, the "America First" section which it was promised a healthcare plan and an end to foreign wars.

I can remember, during the earliest days of online media, legacy media was warned to get on board or get left behind. The brass at the time didn't take it seriously and now the Oscars are going to be on Youtube.

I told my boss, a Trump supporter, that if he's not ashamed of Trump, he should be ashamed of himself.

Could the stain on the Office be trying to make himself a self-declared wartime president before the midterm?

The East and West Wings were added to the floorplan of the original executive mansion from 1902 to 1934. If I'm not mistaken, blueprints of the East Wing, drawings and photos of all its custom plasterwork should be in an archive.

Groceries should never be taxed. A computerized POS can be easily programmed to tax non-grocery items.

12/12/25 "Over a generic Democrat"

I was 7 y.o. when Ted Turner launched CNN. And, for some reason, even then, I was interested in international, national and political news. Hell. I can clearly remember watching reporting from the '84 Democratic National Convention, when Gary Hart and Walter Mondale faced off in the primaries.

Donald Trump, who seems to have a significant Napoleon complex, wants an Arc de Triomphe. Modeled after the French landmark, commissioned by... Napoleon Bonaparte. Go figure.

If Trump is able erect an edifice in honor of himself in DC, how much will it cost, each year, to clean the ketchup off of it? Because it's gonna get hit with water balloons filled with the stuff all the time.

A purpose of the Constitution is to frustrate people with Trump's aspirations.

Math doesn't lie, people do. I think that maybe it's one reason economic data reporting is nightmarish for Trump.

The fact that you never hear the words sanction or blockade used by Trump, himself, suggests to me he has no grasp of the real concepts. It would be interesting to have him try to define the term blockade.

Good local reporting

Luigi Mangione & Attorney KFA in court 12/08/25

A guy that I worked with, Brian, had to leave residential construction and return to the maintenance dept at the local college campus. All because he's lost access to his ACA subs. We do drywall. He liked doing it with us because he was with his brother and longtime friends.

cartoon by Pedro X. Molina titled "Under the rug".

I guarantee that before Trump went all sad faced clown over the Nobel Prize, he didn't know who Alfred Nobel was, or what made him famous. Although, if he has heard of the man, I'm willing to gamble that he thinks Nobel founded the prize as a form of self-acclimation.

So, um... A couple of cops, here in S Georgia, tried to serve a warrant at my childhood home this morning and were shot in the process. GBI assisted in eventually causing the shooter to give himself up. Stronger federal firearm regs would protect the lives of LEOs.

As someone who deals with epilepsy, I've taken several cognitive exams and have taken two MRI. Whatever's Up with Trump, I'm willing to bet it's neurological. @meidastouch.com
