That ALL the Republican Nazis on the U.S. Supreme Court have no problems with ICE's or Border Patrol's Storm Trooper behavior, all the while ignoring the U.S. Constitution. In fact, they enable AND encourage all of this fascist Trump CABAL to be doing these lawless actions.

Anyone notice in the video's that there is no reading of the Miranda Rights that I can see/hear. Or adhering to ANY LAWS.

Fascist Gooning is a freelance trashing of anything and everything and Anyone and Everyone they wish without any restraint what-so-ever.

Everything was..... just inching ahead, now it is galloping.......

I will say though, all that noisemaking and hullabaloo makes the video damn near intelligible. All it does is drown out whatever the ICE dudes say, and in a way provides cover for them. They can say what they want because unless they yell, it's going to be "Off camera".

It always does. History has shown us. They will turn into death squads and people will disappear. Women and young girls will be savagely raped. Young men will be found with bullets in the back of their heads. It's coming folks.

The saddest part is that it could be stopped.

making book on cancelling next November's elections. There's no way that Diddling Donny and his Fascist mob are going to permit voting, because they'll get thrashed in the elections. They will be universally hated, so they'll HAVE TO CANCEL THE ELECTIONS. The closer the elections, the more reckless Donny will become in JUSTIFYING cancelling the elections. By October, anything will do. Hurricane season? Cancel the elections. Stockmarket slowdown? Cancel. Trumpy gets a runny nose? Cancel. It's easy once you put your mind to it.

that Trump has been a huge fan of Hitler........

One of Hitler's leaders was quoted as saying:

'It matters not how the people voted, but the only thing that matters, is WHO is COUNTING the votes".
Even before the 2024 election, do any recall Trump saying at Rallies: ****And I thank you Elon Musk for all your help with "computers"???????????

After all the questions about the "hanging chads", and the EIS Voting machines back in the 2000 & 2004 elections, and voter suppression in the 2016 election, there is plenty of room for fraud already established in oh so many ways........

It is too bad that some people exaggerate carelessly to the point of misinformation or disinformation. It is especially bad when it concerns such a critically important issue. It makes valid points more easily dismissed by the general public if the people raising those issues cannot accurately state reality: it makes them look like conspiracy theorists.

That video does look like a bad situation. There is a brief presentation of some warrant in the video. Do you happen to know if anyone has been able to make out what it said?

Here is a link to what seems to be further external video of that scene:



Here is further external video with the arrested subject being led outside to a vehicle:

The very organization meant to enforce the law, the DOJ, is the one doing it.

The problem with our system of government is that is starts from the position that the system is self regulated and ultimately, loyal to the citizens.

It was believed so unlikely that someone with bad intentions could seize total control of the government that we didn't even account for that being a possibility.

Now it's happened and there is very little we can do about it in the short term.

All of our hopes rest in the idea that we still have elections but to be honest, there is no guarantee of that either.

one of them will die on duty. Choke on a sandwich. Slip and Fall and break a skull. Friendly fire. Get run over by one of their own vehicles.

Trump tried to use Good's murder to declare martial law, but that got stopped real quick when the vids came out. So he is looking to create another reason. Remember, he even faked his own shooting.. He wants another black lives matter "riot".

that the intent is to provoke a violent response in order for trump to justify martial law so that
a) he can deep six the epstein files and
b) cancel the midterms.
c) frighten the population so completely that we will not resist, not protest and willoingly get into the boxcars.
