If you don't have your hopes up high, they can't be dashed. If things are that bad, maybe a little hope dashing will be exactly what the doctor ordered

It shows a staggering lack of judgment and basic decency. A responsible police leader waits for facts, not headlines. Using someones death to push an unrelated political attack especially while inventing details undermines trust, disrespects the victim, and turns public service into pure opportunism

The literal definition of a dictatorship.

I'd wager about 3/4 of ICE's expanded police force is unqualified by standards common to most police agencies. How many are officers previously dismissed, people who failed examinations, or just plain bigots and bullies? I'd guess Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are represented here, as well.

Michael Walker’s book “Just and Unjust Wars” famously sought to justify earlier Israeli aggression. Not any more. “US political theorist Michael Walzer calls Israel war on Gaza a ‘criminal effort’ Israel aimed to conquer Gaza and expel Palestinians while failing to address serious ethical issues.”

No decency (or sense) whatsoever. Any police force head would have refrained from disclosing details until ALL the evidence was in. Noem not only made-up a story, she took the opportunity of Good's death to indulge, before the assembled press, in an unrelated political screed against Gov Waltz.

If they could do this to Renee Nicole Good, they could do this to you. This is a lawless regime.

We must be unafraid to express our rejection of the POTUS. And, though we've said it already, we need to keep repeating it. And, though it may become tiresome, we must not tire. We must say it again, again, and again. Trump OUT! Now. Can't wait 3 years!

Congress, especially Senators, need to making demands of this administration, repeatedly. Once they have made them, in the form of law (or proposed law) they need to find a good platform, and then repeat those demands almost daily. We must demand the rule of law. Repeat, repeat, & repeat.

Oh. So, the Trump ICE, administration right down the number and quality of employees in the rank and file, is the same ICE as the Biden ICE? Thanks so much for pass your misinformation along.

On our responsible voices in broadcast No one wants to be seen as alarmist. So: No one is relating a picture that is as dark and bleak as it actually is.

to be clear about this: people should do AI research if they want to! that's fine! the issue here is that this is a HUMAN SUBJECTS experiment where data associated with a subject has been pre-analyzed, without their consent. that's called 'harm'

Even Trump's biggest critics in the Media won't describe things as bad as they actually are. It just sounds too "over-the-top". This is a serious problem as, in effect, we remake reality each day.

It is about empire building and "greatness". Trump hopes his moves in Venezuela will serve to intimidate other nations in his crosshairs. Of course, he sees the oil as a prize. But, in his childish & imperialistic view, this is how you expand your sphere of influence in the world.

Boy! Was I in understatement mode here, or what?

4) Rise up and refuse him. Refuse him. This can't wait for 3 more years. With 3 more years, he will have left an indelible moral stain on us. And nothing but a dystopian future for many, many dark, high-tech generations to come. America! Rise and awaken from your materialistic sheepishness.

1) History always has been stories we like to tell about ourselves, always glowing, always noble. With our history, it's got the story about half right most of the time. Still, we've always aspired to improve, to reflect the better side. But, now we've become a well-to-do shit-hole country. (contin)

So glad Trump has cut the flow of Venezuelan fentanyl down to near zero.

Baffo!

Everyone is reacting like Trump has toppled the whole Venezuela government, and is now pulling all the strings there. Same government's in place, new guy at the top. We'll see how well Trump's intimidation scheme works. An effect will be felt, but not to nearly the degree many here seem to think.

The Supreme Court just makes stuff up to suit their politics. How else could you explain their position that the Fed's independence is somehow different from that of the other independent agencies that were created through by same type of legislation?

Just a reminder, Trump hasn't won in Venezuela yet. He has simply decapitated leadership by way of an audacious kidnapping raid. "Running" the country, dealing with their Chavezista government, and controlling the oil from far away may well prove quite a bit more difficult.

"Donald Trump's attacks on the IRS are good news for his billionaire buddies and giant tax prep companies — but bad news for everyone getting ready for tax season. People rely on the IRS to file their taxes and get their refunds quickly and easily. I'm pressing for answers on this." - Sen. Warren

Did someone big "drop the dime" on Epstein? Jeffrey's brother thinks so, says JE was about to spill the beans. [What a way to treat an old friend.]

Truth is, if Epstein was still alive, he'd now be out of jail and sitting on the Kennedy Centre board.

The law is rather broken right now, isn't it? When enough people come to realize that, only then will we be in a position to actually do something about it.

All true. The blue collar work Trump wants to return to America is not compatible with raising the SS retirement ages. The plumber whose knees are shot, or the line-worker whose back has a worn-out is supposed to re-employ as a white-collar worker at 65?? Give me a break!

The Supreme Court just makes stuff up.

"What did they know, and when?" This question was once followed-up on. It led to the removal of a president. ‪

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite. But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite. Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

“Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told the FBI in 2023 that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell because he was about to ‘name names.’ Mark Epstein, 71, who has long believed that his brother was killed, also alleged in the tip that President Trump ‘authorized’ the late sex trafficker’s murder.”

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!” Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know. The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Release the un-redacted Epstein files. Investigate if Trump had Epstein killed. Release Jack Smith's deposition. Lock up the war criminals. Imprison the felon. Abolish ICE.

Three more years of this? The American people themselves must refuse him. The formal options for reigning him in are not adequate to the crisis. We must make clear we regard him as an illegitimate POTUS (and worse). Like Mommy 8647 says:

The war in Gaza has firmly established that the international legal, moral, and political order contains a double standard and was never meant to serve the needs of weaker nations and societies.

ISRAEL IS COMMITING GENOCIDE AGAINST THE INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN GAZA. FACT! REPEAT THIS!

"What did they know, and when?" This question was once followed-up on. It led to the removal of a president. ‪

Trump's corrupt DOJ says, we can't release the names of people who have associated with Epstein when that is all we have on them, in principle, that is correct. Now, a real lynch mob atmosphere has developed. And, that's what happens when a DOJ is an obvious failure. What did they know, and when?

Republicans have invested heavily in smearing the Clintons for decades. It’s how Agolf Shitler got his first term.

Let’s be direct: A president who calls for the execution of lawmakers for following the Constitution has no place in office. Donald Trump should resign immediately. Democracy survives when the people raise their voices — together, relentlessly. This is that moment. Use your voice. Make it heard.

THANEDAR: It is a fact that you ignored federal court orders in March and in May of this year. Do you plan on ignoring federal orders? NOEM: We always comply with all federal court orders THANEDAR: I'm sick of your lies

I've been an admirer of Rep. Crockett's for sometime now. But, a Senate seat in TX is a tough nut to crack. I don't think she has a chance; James Telerico does.

Dear American people, Quit acting shocked, Military will not step in. SCOTUS will not suddenly shift allegiance. There is no one who will save us. We have to save ourselves.

The great journalist I.F. Stone told us this a long time ago. Suck-up, you'll get access to important people.
