Air conditioning. Cereal. I like to get the daily news.
This is correct ofc but also it doesn’t matter if it was true anyway. You don’t get to make up a reason to send your death squad somewhere, kill people, lie about it and then because there’s video start “softening” your tone and get points for that.
Trump is not doing this and the media is lying to you because they want to take him to the dance and kiss

Man and that first meal following the colonoscopy is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The colonoscopy is fine, the prep is not, especially if the clear broth you got was spicy
For one writer, it turns out that, despite everything he'd heard, getting a colonoscopy was wonderful. nyti.ms/3ZBRdZe

Even in Pool’s scenario here, he is not wearing the boot; he’s basking in the reflected glory of those wearing the boots and doing the stomping, and he’ll be ok only as long as they allow him to be - ie as long he continues licking the boot. Total loser shit.
This is embarrassingly on-the-nose textbook “psychology of fascism” stuff. Bitter, impotent tools getting to feel powerful by proxy watching brutality done on their behalf.
Tim Pool: “I’m not licking the boot. It’s my boot. I voted for it. I’m the one stomping…”

This mindset is genuinely pathetic.

It’s an alpha fantasy: watching state violence and imagining you’re exercising power rather than the one submitting to it.

It's so crazy that the Democrats can't do anything when they are in the minority to the extent that they may as well not hold office at all, and then, as soon as they have the majority, they can't do anything because they are being procedurally blocked in ways that leave them just as helpless.
If I say I think the Dems need to do better as an opposition party the dumbest segment of Bluesky will take that as me supporting Republicans somehow lol

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

ICE leaving Minneapolis isn’t the end of anything, it would be cathartic and possibly curb some of the building revolutionary anger and energy.

Nothing is over until ICE is abolished, its criminals imprisoned, the Trump Admin is run out of power, and a new and fairer future is realized.

Yes BUT what is the position of the made up conservatives who guide his every decision
“Abolish ICE” is literally the MODERATE position in America today. Not even the position Schumer’s constituents are demanding. The MODERATE position is “abolish.”
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

We’re gonna have a bunch of people who once again forget that the GOP again brought us to the brink and treat “restraint” as some sensible act of good will rather than a thing they were forced to do after killing people, and people like Schumer help them along in that process and he’s such a loser
"Restrain, reform and restrict ICE" is the most typical, loser-ass shit aimed at the imaginary centrist voter.

Schumer has to go before he does more damage.

Just flashed back to Benghazi and how they investigated Hillary Clinton *for years* for “lying” and meanwhile this dude and Noem and miller lied about the death of American and presumably they’ll all just ride off into the sunset
His ass needs to be fired.

Saw a person on FB post something like “if we disagree politically, it’s because we disagree biblically” and I do feel like it’s under-discussed how much these people earnestly believe they are doing the work of God

“Going to ask for real Investigations” lmao mk
NEWS from inside the Senate Dem meeting tonight:
1-Schumer has the votes to block the DHS funding bill
2-They're going to ask for real investigations into the murders (including an end to impeding the state/local investigations), an end to masks and arrest quotas.

“She should resign and seek forgiveness from whatever god she prays to” hell yeah will stancil
Happy that their support is caving in. But also, what a stark illustration of moral cowardice. Two residents of your state blown away by armed thugs, and whether or not you excused it depended on how the polls looked.

She should resign and seek forgiveness from whatever god she prays to.

Using a made up image of a member of ICE in crosshairs is insane.
They probably gave up after sending ace reporter Olivia "Starving Kids is Okay as Long as They're Also Disabled" Reingold to infiltrate a Ice Watch Signal chat, only to find it was populated by normal, community-minded people performing acts of quiet heroism.

Robby Starbuck’s (lmao) quote is the funniest thing I’ve ever read I’m not even kidding
The VCs bros have convinced themselves they are on some moral crusade. They will be behind the scenes trying to cling to power in the midterms and beyond.

Side note, they are also the biggest bunch of dorks

The craziest story I heard from Minneapolis is that ICE literally shot a dude who was holding his hands up trying to protect a woman and then they lied about it repeatedly.
"I know my masked thugs murdered two civilians in broad daylight but once they had to take their fajitas to go so who's the villain really"

People are defending it literally right now. Yes this is their vision for America.
Did anyone actually vote to have masked Federal agents hold US citizens down and shoot them in the back?

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
