WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

On Saturday’s I write blog post about the last week or two and its relation to the art I’m creating and making. I also post art and comics and paintings.

I do actually think if you are informed and normal you should talk to Fox News and point out how incredibly weird and abnormal their frame of reference is to the average American. “I think it’s bad to kill an American citizen” is a normie position and those acting like it isn’t should be called out
Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes

I think this makes sense and helps you understand the conservative ideology that is mostly “Lol everything is just a game to score points in”
I think their theory is that if a video shows a molecule of car grazing against a cop it means it's automatically self defense to shoot someone in the face, the same way if you can see the nose of a football touch the ground for one frame of video then it's not a catch.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

We should take a step back and ask what it says about our legal system that the country can disagree with something there can be multiple videos of evidence disproving the administrations claims and thousands of outraged citizens country wide but the conclusion will still be “cop did no wrong”

Because they are a party of simps
Early polls indicate robust Republican support for the U.S. operation to remove the Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. To many Republican voters, President Trump has projected U.S. power without committing troops or costing American lives.

They don’t like nation building, but they do want to project American power.

Interesting how republicans can campaign on “I want to get rid of something people like” (ACA) without a plan to replace it.

Yet democrats running on “I want to get rid of something people dislike” (ICE)

have to provide an immediate 600 part plan to replace it. Hmm 🤔

This is why we should impeach Donald Trump!
Asked “if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.

It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.

They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

At some point, threatening to conquer the entire Western Hemisphere has to be seen as more than a distraction from health care and it is deeply cynical and destructive for Dems to continue to speak this way
Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

an “inherent power” to respond to an “imminent” attack is just a license for aggressive war on the president’s whim
