Men don’t work for money
Men work for that which the money will buy
When the fake money buys nothing important
Men stop working
This is the way of things
.@ZachLahn is a political operative and Kansas carpetbagger who can’t even commit to living in Iowa. He’s entering the general election on the back foot after a nasty primary that forced him to burn through his cash and tore his party apart. #IAGov
Statement from @iowademocrats:
@KWWL Life's not a game. It is nonsense to have a 3 strikes rule for a dipshit baseball referance. Why not basketball, get 6 personal fouls? It is so foolish. Hey locking them up didn't rehabilitate them, let's lock them up for longer. Truly drull, crude, people in the Reynolds regime.
DeLauro: You just gave the President’s family a tax immunity. The Save America PAC paid you $10 million. Do you not see the conflict of interest?
Blanche: I do not understand what you are saying.
In 1982, Israel bombed the Beirut airport.
The Lebanese were trapped as the IDF marched into Beirut, massacring thousands of civilians.
Hezbollah didn’t exist.
🚨BREAKING: In Chicago, ICE agents were filmed hitting the car of a U.S. citizen, assaulting a bystander who was filming, pointing a taser at innocent people, and driving away before local police could even verify their identities.
And we’re supposed to believe they’re making our communities safer.
The video shows ICE agents chasing a man through Albany Park.
Two agents grab him and rip his shirt off during the chase, while one of the agents drops a fully loaded magazine… and leaves it there.
The man manages to get away and runs across a street, where cars are stopped at a red light.
An ICE agent then drive a black SUV into a U.S. citizen’s vehicle in an attempt to cut off the man running.
The man is eventually surrounded by agents, when one agent suddenly grabs the man and aggressively throws him to the ground, as multiple agents immediately pile on top of him as he screams for help.
As this is happening, residents begin recording what they are witnessing.
That’s when another agent enters the scene with his taser already drawn.
Despite another agent already standing next to a person filming, he walks directly toward the bystander, shoves them backward, and screams, “Back the fuck up.”
The person filming isn’t attacking anyone… or interfering with the arrest.
In fact, you can see them nodding and saying “okay.”
Yet, the agent continues advancing toward them with a taser.
Which all raises some serious first and fourth amendment concerns.
And let’s talk about the woman whose car was hit…
Her vehicle gets run into, during a federal operation… and then they threatened to arrest HER.
And afterward, local police told her they were not given proof of the agents’ identity at the scene.
One officer reportedly said, “[The agents] didn’t want to show us proof of that,” when speaking to the woman whose car was hit.
AND THEN, according to reporting from the scene, one of the ICE agents had a Jerusalem cross sticker on the back of his phone.
The Jerusalem cross is a Christian symbol dating back to the Crusades that has more recently gained popularity among some far-right and white supremacist groups.
Maybe that’s something DHS would like to explain.
So, if federal agents can crash into civilian vehicles, leave loaded ammunition in public streets, point tasers at bystanders, and aggressively confront, and assault, people exercising their constitutional rights…
Then the people holding the cameras aren’t the problem.
The cameras are documenting the problem.
