tons of them, and I don't see that happening. With opening up the schools which will create additional infections and deaths, majority of Americans will be focus on that.

The Border Patrol Was Responsible for an Arrest in Portland
An internal memo, obtained exclusively by The Nation, details a coordinated program of domestic counterinsurgency.
By Ken KlippensteinTwitter
******************************************
A former senior DHS intelligence officer explained that while other federal agencies are required to wear identifiers when conducting arrests—NCIS agents have to wear both marked jackets and hats during arrests, for example—that is not the case with the DHS. “The fact is, they don’t have to do anything in marked vehicles,” he said. “Such operations happen all the time and at the discretion of supervisors.”

“If it gives them a tactical advantage, they will find a way to justify it,” a current DHS official told The Nation.

But just because the practice is legal, that doesn’t mean it works in law enforcement’s favor. “It’s good for public image to have visible police presence as a deterrent,” the former intelligence officer said.
********************

“‘Mission creep’ is what CBP, Border Patrol, and ICE have been engaged in since 9/11,” Budd said. “There are all sorts of interesting powers that CBP, ICE and Border Patrol have under Title 42 pandemic law, which has been triggered with Trump’s Covid-19 national emergency declaration. Even though he claims we should not be in pandemic lockdown, he refuses to lift the emergency declaration because this gives these agencies more authority. All of this is legal because of vague and broad authorities given to these agencies after 9/11.”

Because he and the GOP are murdering us, and because of my health issues, they will probably murder me so by then it might not matter.

But there is likely to be no election, and they do want all of you dead, I hope people finally figured it out.

But many here do not and will not accept the possibility even when it is happening before our eyes.

any further NOW? The futher we let him go with this, the more out of control it gets until we find that we cannot vote him out, that he has gone full dictator and that we are living in an authoritarian police state with no civil rights. Yes, Nazi German can happen all over again and it can happen here.

about it, We couldn't do anything about the results when he cheated, there's nothing he can do if he loses, to change that.

without his further input. He has no control over the results, especially if he loses.

if he sends his goons to polling stations to intimidate people who want to vote against him. You know, to maintain "law and order".
