ICE shot a woman who had been following them to document their depravity and hey shot her.

Then she drove herself to the hospital.

But no maybe she was found on a street and taken to the hospital?

Have any journalists talked to this woman?

Feels like a huge story

Trump told AG Pam Bondi to prosecute Letitia James-calling her “guilty as hell”

When the US Attorney wouldn’t do it, he replaced that lawyer with his personal attorney

And despite the fact that career prosecutors refused go forward

The DOJ got an indictment anyway

THIS
IS
VINDICTIVE
PROSECUTION

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

Trump is trying to deploy the National Guard to Oregon, claiming that the state is a battlefield and troops are needed to protect federal agents who are attempting to enforce immigration laws

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

I want to see Congress flipped and even if we don't get the necessary votes in the Senate to convict... I want to see daily impeachments. Because damn, there are daily impeachable acts.
