I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

And the scope of his lie! He's lying about the event he's describing, then lying about his reaction to an event that's nothing like what he describes, then he's crafting a big narrative about how he and others have been patient with a nonexistent situation. In other times we'd call this psychopathy.

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

So I’m in Portland, and we knew this was coming. But what’s breathtaking is the disparity between what’s actually happening on the ground vs the … “lies” isn’t a big enough word. Saw this on the actual WH web page and it just floored me. I guess all we can do is continue to not take the bait.
