When they can meet international, civic, and human rights standards, go ahead and open them.

Legally speaking, they can't. And because, legally speaking, they can't, they won't. Millionaire isn't going to put himself on the line.

Should've. Instead he told them "bad" and wagged his finger.

There is no legal remedy. I can virtually guarantee this wouks be ruled legal.

You give a lot of credit to one frail old dementia patient. He may be the clown face, but didn't build the clown car.

Here's a fun thought though. Commissioned officers are under jurisdiction of the UCMJ, and can even be recalled to service against their will. Think these guys screwed themselves more than they realise.

You can't stop a takeover by assisting it. There will be consequences either way, there already are, but the more we avoid the reality, the more consolidated their control, and the less there is left to save.

“For more than 3 hours, officers can be seen walking past while he lay on the floor in his urine in obvious distress…noting he was foaming at the mouth & having seizure-like activity…mistaking his medical emergency for a drug overdose…”

Except a drug overdose is also a medical emergency...

You can come up with a reason to detain anyone. It's a matter of how much effort to put in.

Many people overestimate how much protection they ever had. By like, a lot.

I don't think people get it yet. The u.s. government is effectively gone.

There's still a skeleton left to operate a police state, but it died a bit ago.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
