What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

This kind of kidnapping, whether it's otherwise law-abiding undocumented workers, or 🇺🇸 citizens, ICE thugs act like they get a bounty per head (they already get a $50K signing bonus), these goons would have been slave catchers back in the day.

Bynum Demands End to ICE Raids After U.S. Citizen Allegedly Abducted by Masked Agents
Bynum compares ICE’s conduct to U.S. Marshals hunting down Black Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act.

U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-Ore.) called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to stop abducting her constituents, a week after ICE agents apprehended a Milwaukie man born in California on his way to work and detained him for part of the day.

“These ICE raids are reminiscent of the Fugitive Slave Act, when the U.S. Marshals would hunt down and kidnap Black Americans,” Bynum said in a statement. “That was a dark and shameful time in our nation’s history—we must not allow that to repeat. Masked federal agents aren’t welcome in our state and they can’t keep kidnapping Americans.”

Stephen Miller Says Trump has “Plenary Authority”. He does not. Plenary authority means ultimate authority that doesn’t answer to anyone else. Our Constitution provides for checks and balances so that no one would have that kind of authority.

Russians dropped a 250 kg bomb on a church in Kostyantynivka in Donetsk region. Two people were killed and four more were injured in this attack.

The Russians attacked rescue workers with kamikaze drones afterwards.

This is the “Russian World.”

We need something like a “Fascistpedia” to keep track of those who collaborated with the regime.

Later, they'll be scurrying to hide their cowardice and moral rot.

A permanent record will guarantee enduring shame.

Let’s give them their own museum.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
