“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

This idiot painted himself into a corner.
"The democrats want trillions for illegal immigrants coming in"
(Realizing he outed his border control)
"But we got 0 illegal immigrants coming in the last four months"
Then what the hell is the point of your first argument?

Trump openly promising mass firings of civil servants “because they’re Democrats” is pure authoritarianism. The civil service exists to be nonpartisan—to protect the country, not Trump’s ego.

Q: "How many layoffs have you authorized?"

Trump: "A lot. It will be Democrat oriented...They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we'll announce the numbers over the next couple of days, but it will be a lot of people...Many of them will be fired."

I think #ICE is the secret police for the government. I have yet to hear one ICE agent who has been charged for any of the violent unlawful acts they have done so far.

Is no court taking those cases? Is the government overstepping the courts and telling their agents to ignore?

Fucking disgusting conduct. They recklessly drove into another car, attempted to hit-and-run until they saw someone filming, pointed a deadly weapon at an unarmed person, and arrested her without probable cause.

These three needs to be arrested and brought to court!

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

ICE agents are tasked to meet quotas, whether criminal or not. This leads to them going after easy targets (unarmed, and innocent civilians).

They are the hired predator to kill other predator, but found it is easier to hunt the preys.

Around 100 protesters here now, the crowd is growing in advance of 4pm demo planned.

State trooper Bradley again warning people they can protest but if they set foot in the road (note: this is a driveway) they'll be arrested.

Another fed vehicle departs.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem just discovered the founder of Antifa by questioning their girlfriend. This is the first time the world will see who the founder really is, and it is shocking. Because of the absolute terror this imagery causes, we are sharing it in a follow-up post in this thread.

The GOP and regime are on a kamikaze run. They know if they don't have a fascist takeover, their corruption, crimes, and cowardice are going to be exposed with no chance of getting out of jail.

If it looks to why the regime is working so impatiently. It makes sense they have everything to lose!

President Trump's attempt to exclude some immigrant families from participating in Head Start is unlawful — and a federal judge has blocked it.

Also, hold them to it live on air. Mike Johnson heard a woman beg for healthcare relief. He, then the next day, told his colleagues to extend their vacation to keep the government closed.

They smile at you one way, and then lie the next. No morals.

When you believe your enemy is both stupidly incompetent, yet the most omnipotent threat to your existence; you're in a cult.
