DJT couldn't look more guilty and involved if he was to strip off the orange mask to reveal he's been Jeffrey Epstein the whole time.

To be fair, they've done a LOT of crimes. Even a failure to redact 1% of what they've done is to reveal plenty of illegality.

A similar process is going on when he keeps telling Walz he won the state 3 times, what he thinks is 'a conversation' but actually is to Walz 'torture' (as it is to anyone with a functioning brain).

The 'super-cool' thing about him is that he's demonstrated to be so goddamn stupid that there's a good chance that he didn't realize he was THREATENING WALZ WITH KIDNAPPING HIM (smdh off - what a %$^# world....), just giving Walz what came to mind as a 'successful' mission.

It's times like this I wish I could build a giant robot Sam Kinison with an airplane turbine for a mouth that can blare where the entire Washington D.C. area can hear: "THEY'RE IN ON IT!"

Pretty sure Stephen Miller didn't tell her to say the "and Stephen" part. Why would the DHS head think it's a valid excuse that she was "following orders" from a Deputy Chief of Staff unless it was actually true?

Delightful how there's not a whiff of pretense ICE is about immigration or anything else but being his goon enforcement squad.
Extra delightful is contemplating just what's stopping him from following through on that exact threat.

Liberate Broadview.
Get a bunch of Congresspeople to that facility to follow up their complete right to inspect it and have anyone blocking them arrested.
There's some Abu Grahib / Palestine level atrocity going on in there, and it's about time we found out what that is.

Would be great if true.
By all means, Miller - let's have you be the face of ICE's behavior (canning Trump's favorite lackey in the process) and you be the focus of responsibility when they'll commit the next atrocity.

It's to Minnesotans' great credit they put together sustained and overwhelming resistance and surveillance to their oppression, without a single documented incident of violence.
It's to the great shame to the politicians and the elites that they HAD to do that or get subjugated massacred or worse.

The phrase "Minnesota was invaded by - the United States of America" is literally wrong and contradictory - the geopolitical version of asking if God can make a rock so heavy He can't lift it.
And yet it happened. Good thing 2026 only has let me check 11 months left oh shit.......

Frankly, FIFA is negligent to not cancel all the World Cup games being held in the U.S. By not doing so, they're literally putting their fans in danger by hosting matches they'd like to attend in a clearly unsafe environment. F'n KYIV is a more secure place to hold games than Minneapolis right now!

Would it help if creative types flood socials with a visual depiction of one of these ICE guys in mid-raid suddenly putting the gun away, ripping the ICE tag off his jacket, saying "I'm done - I'm going home" and leaving the scene to cheers from the crowd?

It should be made very clear to Bovino and the administration that as long as that identity is secret, every single agent close to his height and build is going to be assumed to be that killer, which in turn puts all federal agents at much greater risk.

Agreed, needs to be an annex to this admin's Hall of Shame for the docs and reporters who are keeping his condition under wraps.
(Most maddening is when reporters are bullied/insulted by him while he's hiding his hand by clasping them tighter than an old lady guarding her purse at the bus stop)

It makes it all the more remarkable how much pull Miller has in the Administration, seeing as how even they are kind of repulsed and disturbed by him there. Why isn't the square-jawed meathead Hegseth calling more of the shots?

True. So why don't they have this 'understanding'? Can't read polls? Can't see what's happening on video?
It's also weird how relatively few 'rats' have left the ship so far. Why hasn't it occurred to them that they could lose power?

I fervently have fingers crossed the miracle continues until the federales are driven out of Minnesota. Because right now it's a powder keg, doused in gasoline, that's holding a fireworks demonstration.

It's a major miracle there hasn't been a Bloody Sunday. Loser goons propagandized from birth that a gun will show them to be a Real Man and get them respect. (It's this country's founding myth, in fact). They get that gun but instead of respect they get continually impeded and insulted.

Uh, forgot a name in that list, chief?
Partly kidding, but there's going to be a very real impulse to turn on a dime about their Great Leader, gaslighting him as an unfortunate feeble dying old man we shouldn't trouble with any "trials" or "charges" - that would be so mean!

I believe they were given orders to stop the protests, and enough of them balked at the implications of what that meant. If it was just "providing security" or some completely non-offensive action, they'd be called up already.

Category error: For Trump EVERYTHING is a magic button. For Venezuela it was a button called "GET OIL MONEY". He wants the people not giving fealty to him hurt or killed and not only doesn't care but isn't even aware of if it's illiterate ICE goons or Army tanks dealing out the oppression.

(Enough of) the military won't do it.
