4. tRump: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Ave & shoot somebody" & his DOJ would exonerate him.

His quote: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, okay, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?"

He's a mob boss that never dirties his hands so he has his minions do the shooting. Then he has his front people do the framing. And then his lieutenants do the adjudicating.

11. At this point I think he might have a "fusillade" in return

6. Absolutely ENRAGED KNR!!

[TBF]

7. The latest from the White House is that ICE needs to grab the phones -

that's it. That's the solution. No crimes if you can't prove them.

13. No Covid without testing!

The Ostrich principle!

[TBF]

16. republicans seem to excel at that

[IronLionZion]

21. We need hidden cameras everywhere

ICE is going to kill people who stand on a sidewalk filming. But cities can put police style cameras everywhere. People can wear body cameras or attach a go-pro to their chest or something. Then they'd be hands free and won't be as obvious.

Even if there are no legal consequences, the power of these videos is evident in showing them in media and having public opinion turn against this oppressive behavior.

8. The fuckers went judge shopping to find the one judge corrupt enough to get Kyle Rittenhouse off the hook.

Now they're saying that 2A comes with an asterisk. Fuck them all!

And now that worthless fuck is back in the news and he thinks that murdering protestors is funny.

[Historic NY]

9. An enraged citizenry is not a good look

and these Bozos are even pissing off the local cops.

[GiqueCee]

10. How much more proof...

... does anyone need that these people are fucking monsters? Putrid slime like Homan, Miller, Noem, and Bovino spew vitriol and bald-faced lies from a safe distance, surrounded and protected by like-minded psychopaths, while the vile scum called ICE delight in murdering innocent people. It is time to put a stop to this barbarism once and for all.
Every single one of them defiles and betrays the lofty principles this once-great nation stood for. And they all commit their evil crimes in service to ONE repugnant traitor who deserves NO mercy, NO forgiveness, and NO loyalty: Donald J. Trump.
The same goes for anyone that still supports them.

12. The Republicans should all be

thankful that the Indigious Native Americans didn't have a "BORDER PATROL"...........
The genocide committed by the their immigrant's parents was between 15-60 MILLION, NATIVE AMERICANS......

14. Frank Wilhoit Explains

Said Wilhoit, quite dry, in a fit:
“There’s one rule that conserves every bit:
Some folks are immune,
Others crushed by the rule—
Protected, not bound; bound, not lit.”

They praise the Second loud as a bell,
Till others insist it applies as well.
When the carrier’s “them,”
The right starts to bend—
Turns out “shall not” comes with an asterisk spell.

A nurse with a permit stood still,
Gun holstered, no threat, no ill will.
Pinned hard to the street,
Disarmed at their feet—
Then bullets decided the kill.

“He had a gun!” cried the men at the mic,
Ignoring the clips they don’t like.
He never once drew,
But the story they knew
Was easier spun than the strike.

The gun groups all grumbled, distressed:
“This isn’t how rights are expressed!”
They barked at a pawn,
But let Trump ramble on—
Selective outrage’s oldest test.

Behind closed doors, panic took hold:
“The messaging’s bad,” Trump was told.
Not “Why is he dead?”
But “Shift it instead”—
Change channels; let outrage grow cold.

They preached “law and order” with flair,
Till law met a man they’d declared
Was the wrong kind of free
For their certainty—
Then order arrived with a snare.

Chaos, they’ve learned, has a use:
It rattles the calm and the loose.
If fear fills the air,
The fence-sitters stare—
And silence becomes the excuse.

Frank Wilhoit put it plain and precise:
One rule, and it’s paid for the price—
The law’s like a moat:
Enemies choke, friends float.
That’s it. That’s the whole damn device.

They clutch the Amendment like prayer,
Till the “wrong” kind of citizen’s there.
Then “shall not be barred”
Turns into “don’t move, don’t breathe, don’t be armed”—
Amazing how scripture can tear.

A nurse lay face-down on the street,
Permit in his pocket, hands meek.
They yanked out his gun,
Decided “he's done,”
And shot him where law and lies meet.

Law and order, they shout with a grin,
Till order means they might lose skin.
Then order’s a ruse,
And law is a noose—
Pulled tight if you’re not in the inn.

The NRA twisted in pain:
“Not like this!” they weakly campaign.
They scolded a flack,
But won’t bite the hand back—
Principles snap when donors complain.

The White House saw smoke, not a crime:
“The narrative’s off—buy us time.”
Not “Who pulled the trigger?”
But “Who’s losing the ticker?”
Dead nurse? Bad branding. That’s the line.

They know chaos works just fine:
It freezes the meek, draws the line.
“Stay out of the fray,
This doesn’t touch you anyway”—
Till boots hit your door in due time.

What Trump’s party cannot endure
Is a country that’s equal and plural:
No masters, no checks,
No boots on our necks—
An America free of the cruel.

15. The audacity of Ubergrupenfuhrer Bovino complaining about ICE being called secret police (n/m)

[PatSeg]

17. God, I'm so tired of the endless lying

[Aussie105]

22. Seems to me . . .

that whatever mental disease Trump has, is contagious!

Or just people sacrificing their sanity to be with the Trump 'in crowd'.

With the panicked 'ICE is the victim here' response from some, their credibility is permanently shot - not that it was much good to start with.

Bovino's struggle to make all this sound normal is disgusting.

[PatSeg]

24. Yes, it does seem to be contagious

Surely they must realize that none of this will last, but they still double-down on all the absurdities. There will be no winning and most of them will fall and fall hard. I see no happy endings for anyone.

I just can't wrap my head around what on earth can they be thinking.

[JohnnyRingo]

18. Something's gotta change.

That's what the sign above my door says.
Where is the democratic leadership anyway!? Shumer? Jeffries? Them and The Squad should be seen and heard, and I don't mean a brief appearance on Morning Joe!

Democratic lawmakers should be bundled up and at ground zero this week. Lead!!

[Aussie105]

23. Good question.

Taken a back seat and watching the lunatics driving the car of state into a major civil war, all while muttering . . . not our fault, not our problem, don't blame us!

[MustLoveBeagles]

20. How insulting, Bovino

No, you’re the enemy of this country.
