So, first of all, of course it was Trump.

But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

He questioned and voted on every single justice on the U.S. Supreme Court during their confirmation hearings.

In one (endless) year Donald Trump has turned America from the envy of much of the world to a laughingstock. It’s sad to see us lose our leadership on so many important things.

I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.

Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

It really doesn't matter how much camouflage, body armor, masking, and how many weapons that ICE, DPS, BP have, they're still damaged humans, anti-American, and cowards and they will not cow the American people.

Apple CEO TIm Cook went to the White House the evening after Alex Pretti was murdered and took selfies with Trump and the serial sexual abuser who directed the Melania film.

No spine. No soul. And your fucking iOS updates are ass.

If you’re a veteran and you think it’s fine that ICE murdered an ICU nurse for the VA, you may want to get professional help.

CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

What is happening in this country is the result of seeds sown during the Reagan administration. He started us down this road of rampant mistrust in government, out of control capitalism, and coarsened public discourse.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.

Any second now, I'm sure.

He was a white guy, if that helps?

Hello? NRA?

DOJ lies.
DHS lies.
ICE lies.

That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies.

They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

What the Trump admin is doing with ICE in Minnesota has absolutely nothing to do with immigration. If they were really mostly concerned with “illegal” immigrants, they’d be in Texas, which has more than 10 times as many immigrants. This is pure political punishment for a blue state.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

I grew up thinking America was the greatest country on earth. In just 5 years of Donald Trump, I question whether we were ever even good. It's truly distressing.

So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

As Drumpf becomes increasingly deranged let's not forget that we wouldn't be here if not for Mitch McConnell and the Supreme Court. They enabled this.
