Mandelson was a minister in 🇬🇧 Gov and he was advising a convicted 🇺🇸 US sex offender that a fellow 🇬🇧 cabinet minister, now dead Alistair Darling, should be “mildly threatened” not to tax banker’s bonuses.
Unthinkable that he can be a law maker.

Extraordinary: Mandelson told Epstein that JP Morgan should "threaten" then cabinet colleague and chancellor Alistair Darling over tax on bankers' bonuses. In plain language: "Minister conspired with US bank against own government".

In 2017, six actresses told the LA Times that a prominent Hollywood director was sexually violent toward them.
They were talking about Brett Ratner, who stood next to Melania Trump to celebrate the premiere of Melania, his eponymous documentary about the First Lady.

They have pulled and aimed their weapons less than one second after having exited their vehicle, it's insanely escalatory and dangerous.
Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.
How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

This would be a totally natural response — and clear that ICE is trying to provoke further violence.
If that were me, the second I saw armed men jump out of the car, my instinct would be to hit the gas, try to duck and get the fuck out of there... and I'd probably either be killed or arrested for attempted homicide, all because I had no idea who they were or what they were doing.
