Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Fun fact:

How can we believe anything from a megalomaniacal psychopath? Does Greene really care or is she just another nut willing to say anything that will increase her power?

I don't think Trump is the real problem - he is merely the public facing idiot. The real danger is the dark money behind him. There is a well organised fifth column working to implement project 25, and currently it is succeeding.

Ya know, there was a time in my life (much younger) when I didn't like Robert De Niro. He was such a GOOD fucking actor, I thought he was like the characters he played. It turns out De Niro is a decent and principled man...I couldn't respect him more.

A five time draft dodger and abject coward wanted General Eisenhower's sword. A veteran and military historian refused to give it to him. Trump had him fired. This is an insult to anyone who has ever honorably served in the military in this country.

The Army vet and historian declined Trump's request to gift Eisenhower's sword to King Charles out of obligation to preserve it for the American public.

Try to imagine if federal agents under a Democratic administration had fired pepper balls at conservative clergy protesting--- let's just say --- abortion.

They've litigated and won Supreme Court cases over much less.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Republicans are above the law. They have been for decades. Why is this? What is the genesis of this rot? Billionaires. Fascist billionaires that want to get every fucking penny even if it means killing every man, woman and child on the planet. Wake up and smell the coffee, America.
