Democrats should make crystal clear that whether it is high level Trump officials, commanders carrying out illegal murders, or ICE/CPB goons, investigations and indictments are coming—referring to state AGs if Trump blanket pardons for federal crimes.
Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Yep, this actually did just happen. Rep Chrissy Houlahan recounts it on our pod:
A member of Congress just filled out a threat report with the Capitol Police naming the President of the United States as the person making the threat.
Think of where we were on January 7, 2021 when the country overwhelmingly repudiated what had happened.
