And use the IL NG to protest protestors.

Good national security reporters, having developed sources over decades, sure as hell won't be stymied by a washed up former National Guard major and weekend Fox News host. Keep shining that light, Pentagon Press Corps - so voters can hold these fuckers accountable.

Absolutely. And I can't stand sports ball.

Anyhoo, God Bless America isn't the national anthem, dipshits.

Also, if you want to sit, sit. It's a free country, or it was.

As a combat veteran, IDK if you sit or stand. Do your thing. That's what I fought for.

Yes, and the Trump administration is creating this straw man of AntiFa, which I think even they know doesn't exist, into scaring MAGA into thinking it exists - all so they can brand their political opponents as members and therefore terrorists.

The first step towards genocide is dehumanization.

So, let's call it what it is: attempted murder by a cop.

ICE. IS. ALWAYS. LYING.

Bodycam footage shows ICE agent taunting Marimar Martinez before shooting her 5x in Chicago’s Brighton Park, contradicting federal claims that she drove toward officers.

The footage blows apart DHS’s fabricated story about the shooting.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged...

Sad Republicans don't realize their reputation and popularity would INCREASE nationwide if they held Trump and his henchmen accountable - just like Reagan's popularity/approval INCREASED after he took responsibility for Iran-Contra.

The dumbest thing about things like the War on Terrorism and the War on Drugs is that you can't defeat a tactic (the former) or an effect of a cause (importation of drugs due to Americans' insatiable appetite for illegal drugs), which is why a "War" on Anti-Fascism will also fail.

A picture says 1000 words, and today's word of the day, boys and girls, is KAKISTOCRACY: government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.

Anyone else remember that old SNL sketch in which Jon Lovitz is playing Michael Dukakis and Dana Carvey is playing George H.W. Bush and they're debating and in mid-debate Dukakis turns to the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"?

Yeah, *that*

Isn't that the same bullshit pedophile Catholic priests were saying? "Well, Bob, I went to confession and was absolved by another priest...(totally neglecting the lifetime of psychological damage they caused by diddling kids....)

Seems they are having a conference about an entirely fabricated organization and the circular logic of: people are protesting ICE/NG deployment to their communities (cause of unrest), therefore we need more ICE/NG deployed (more unrest), therefore we need more ICE/NG deployed (even more unrest)...

95% of all species that have ever existed have gone extinct. The ones that have survived were the most adaptable to changes in their environments. Humans are not changing behaviors to meet changes in the environment. We are starting to go extinct.

That's some weak-assed shit when your party controls the White House and both chambers of Congress and can't keep the government open --- all because you want to protect pedos and keep poor people from getting healthcare. Fuckin' losers.

It's weird how Drunk Pete Kegsbreath and Co. also shuttered the Pentagon team that investigated extremism in the ranks...don't criticize Charlie Kirk the Bigot, and they'll turn a blind eye to the white supremacists in the ranks.

www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Hegseth’s sprawling hunt for Charlie Kirk critics spans nearly 300 investigations

The inquiry, resulting in a smattering of disciplinary action so far, follows an extraordinary directive aimed at silencing criticism of the slain activist and Trump supporter.

This is extremely dangerous rhetoric from the Commonwealth of Virginia's AG: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Virginia’s attorney general sends a dangerous message to police

The case of the young accountant, killed in an unwarranted shooting by U.S. Park Police in 2017, remains a study in law enforcement impunity.

This is the Trump administration's plan: create a phony "terrorist" organization called AntiFa, lump everyone they don't like into that category, create false flag violence, and subvert the 2026 elections.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.
