No comment on the ‘internet switch’ but prepardness for emergencies isn’t leftist ideology, in fact we’ve been told for many years to be prepared for ‘the EBS’.
When you look at the geopolitical landscape currently, it’s in fact not a bad idea.
France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Albania and more have riots.
US telling people to prepare, UK telling people to prepare, Germany telling people to prepare.
This very well may be one of two things, as an Anon I’d like to believe it’s what we’ve been waiting for the past 9 years. However, something tells me it’s not and could be something far worse such as war with Iran/Russia/China etc.
Nothing wrong with being prepared, for once and only once, I’ll concede with the leftists on this one.
@PostHuman_Swarm@GoldTelegraph It does but you see the bread is kept in date by being frozen, once the electricity shuts off the bread thaws and is ready to be used for toast for the next 4-7 days 😉
It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.
Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.
Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.
Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.
In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.
The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.
@chingondmixoaca@realJohnJohnJr@happydogs2011 0/10 rage bait. Funny how you guys always have to turn a completely unrelated post into ‘Orange man bad’. You should really get that TDS seen to, I think it’s starting to consume you.
@realJohnJohnJr@happydogs2011 Terrifying? I’d shake his hand!!
Here in the UK illegal immigrants are getting 15 weeks, not months, not years, WEEKS for sexual assault of a minor.
So please tell me how Tom forcing governors to comply is a bad thing?
No one is above the law.
The GOP can play defense and pretend Trump did not do anything wrong, the but the facts state otherwise.
