Second account. There's another floating around out there someplace that I couldn't recover. Guess I posted too much political stuff as any good liberal would do.

This is what Trump voters voted for. They love this. Because it has always been about racism. Always.

Absolutely. The USA was their original inspo. They studied the Jim Crow-era laws.

Sen Chris Murphy is a badass.
I called mine this AM suggesting- “ask yourself before each vote, does this help in any way to fund ICE? If the answer is yes, you are obliged to vote no. Our tax dollars are being used against us.”

Paramilitary forces reportedly on Venezuela's streets, as the US State Dept tells Americans to leave the country.
Not regime change, not democratization, not a US-friendly coup, not even successful resource theft. Regime decapitation with no follow-on plan, creating instability and nothing else.

ICE is a PsyOp. It is Irregular Warfare being practiced against American citizens. It is illegal and needs to stop. Its purpose is to train people to stay away from aggregations of agents even when they are at voting booths. Stop misrepresenting what it is.

Except civil asset forfeiture is for the account of the government not the officers, and there due process rights. He, apparently, got none.

Obviously, nobody gets compensated for the car windows they smash--not without a lawsuit and I don't know how that would come out. So they probably figure they can sell it and if anyone asks, just lie that they smashed it on the ground, which everyone seems to think is fine.

AOC: “But it actually creates a ton of new vehicles by which they can own, buy and sell stock in even greater shadows from public view. And so I think they can call it whatever they want, but it is not a stock trading ban.” 2/2
