@JasonJournoDC Nahn he just doesn't tolerate points of view that are terrible. Good for him. We need more like him. Every point of view does not deserve equal respect.

@Bubblebathgirl It's embarrassing that this question is even being asked.

@Aaronbennett Oof. I feel that.

@RyanCoetzee Was clear from the outset. Very first campaign speeches talking about all the murderers and rapists crossing the border and ruining the real America.

This is a clear directive to provide positive war coverage or else licenses may not be renewed. This is worse than the comedian stuff, and by a lot. The stakes here are much higher. He’s not talking about late night shows, he’s talking about how a war is covered.

@Sassafrass_84 Imagine you had shit smeared on your arm. Would you want to clean it with paper or water? If you can’t understand why somebody would think paper would be the less civilized choice, if you have zero words in your head, you might be less civilized than you think. Also dirtier ass.

@TimSheehyMT You are a disgrace.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

@atrupar @BillCassidy I actually thought is was parody, having never heard of Bill Cassidy.

@McFaul I believe the normalization of Trump will be seen by history as something far more grotesque and catastrophic than either McCarthyism or American fascism in the 30s.

@ThinkingUSD Sorry, it honestly could be because it's my birthday today, and "the universe" thought the last of my savings should be liquidated, so I could start my 45th year with nothing, after 8 years trading crypto markets. I REALLY played it wrong these past two years.

@jasonpizzino @Vivek4real_ @jasonpizzino is that true?

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents pulled guns on an unarmed U.S. citizen in a small Minnesota town… then had to be stopped by the local police chief.

This happened in St. Peter, Minnesota. A quiet southern Minnesota town

A local woman was alone in her car, observing and recording ICE activity in her community. She is doing something that is fully protected under the First Amendment… observing and documenting federal agents in public.

ICE notices her watching.

Three federal vehicles begin chasing her, and try to force her to pull over.

They eventually box her car in and three agents jump out of the vehicle in front of her… with their guns drawn… screaming at her to get out of the car.

She refuses, and states her rights.

The agents open her car door anyway, drag her out, force her to the ground, and handcuff her.

This is all happening while she is unarmed, and alone on a country road.

She suffers cuts, scrapes, and bruises as they pin her down.

Her husband then arrives and starts recording. He tells them they don’t have a warrant and cannot search her car. An ICE agent dismisses him outright and says, “I’m not getting into the legality of everything.”

Read that again.

A federal agent, pointing guns at civilians, openly says they are not concerned with legality.

ICE puts this woman into their vehicle and starts driving her toward the Twin Cities, toward a federal detention facility… even though she is a U.S. citizen.

About twenty minutes into the drive, they suddenly turn around after getting a call from a supervisor.

The St. Peter police chief stepped in.

After her husband contacted an attorney and spoke with the police chief, the chief identified the vehicle ICE was using, took custody of the woman, and personally drove her home.

ICE turned her over to local police because what they were doing was so clearly wrong.

This is what is happening in America.

A small-town police chief had to intervene to stop federal agents from disappearing an unarmed woman for observing them.

If ICE feels comfortable pulling guns on unarmed citizens in small towns, chasing them, throwing them to the ground, and ignoring the law entirely, then no town is too small and no one is safe from ICE brutality.

This is what it looks like when federal agents think they’re above the Constitution.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

“The federal government is no longer bound by law. If agents of the state may kill people in public without being investigated; if they have—again, per VP Vance—“absolute immunity” from prosecution then we are living in an authoritarian regime.”

@billt457 @DLems100 @AlecLace Another straw man. You're a real pro at that. I did not say it was disinformation that somebody saw his gun, or called gun. The post said "video shows armed suspect DRAWING his gun". That is disinformation. If you can't admit that I think we can go ahead and conclude this convo.

[way wu wei @Odiekai]

@billt457 @DLems100 @AlecLace Another straw man. I'm not arguing that conversations about the why aren't important. I was responding to the original post, which stated that the deceased could be seen "drawing his gun". Misinformation is worth calling out, when it's used as a specific justification for killing

[way wu wei @Odiekai]

@DLems100 @billt457 @AlecLace Strange how a debate about whether or not this video shows the deceased "drawing his gun" turned into a debate about the dangers of communism. But I guess when Bill said "Dead dumb son of a bitch in the street. This is civil war" it was obvious no real conversation could be had.

[way wu wei @Odiekai]

@brig8623 @billt457 @AlecLace Do you think they generally know that they are engaging in these rhetorical tricks and logical fallacies, or are they genuinely deceiving themselves? I don't know what would be worse.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Wow!

“Where’s the gun? Where’s the gun?”

After the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE agents, and after we clearly could see an Agent take the concealed gun from Pretti’s waistband, they are literally looking for a gun that Pretti didn’t have after he was murdered.
