    Remember: cops lie, and too many in the media simply act as stenographers for those lies.
    Also, fuck ICE, fuck CBP, fuck DHS, and fuck Donald J (the "J" stands for 'Jorkin it to little girls') Trump.

    “Do Something B*tch”: Damning Video Shows CBP Agent Shooting Protester
    The Department of Homeland Security initially said the agent had shot the woman five times in self-defense.

    Phew, @Paladin is proven right again that the government isn't doing over the top shit by the fact that courts are denying the governments attempt to keep people it is using unreasonable force against locked up.

    Not exactly the Trump administration, but:

    Yep.
    If this douchenozzle was such a beloved hero, why oh why would the government need to force universities to name streets after him? In a red state like Florida, why wouldn't there be a groundswell of support to do that already?
    Why do you think they are doing this, @Steal Your Face ?
    @Uncle Albert , does this look like abusive government overreach to you? Perhaps even a violation of first amendment rights?

    Emphasis on "humanity". The mentality today seems to be "my people are superior to any other people, my race is superior to any other race, and my country is superior to any other country." That philosophy is the basis of fascism. Coupled with the power to crack down on anyone who dissents, it becomes the very definition of fascism.

    Humanity doesn't always show much humanity, and with someone like Donald Trump in the White House, it has become very acceptable to demonstrate one's lack of humanity in a very public way.

    Jesus would be absolutely horrified that so many of the people doing this are pretending to do it in his name. Anyone who knows anything about Jesus knows that he was nothing like MAGA. He was almost the opposite of MAGA.

    Is there a thread about Tom Holman (Secretary of Homeland Security) taking ON TAPE $50k cash IN A BURRITO BAG from an FBI Agent he thought was a lobbyist that wanted to steer contracts to clients?

    Like is this even a thing people care about or do we just accept it in Trump’s America?

    Anyway, good clip of George Stephanopoulos shutting down JD Vance’s lies:

    The funny thing is that while Trump made the DOJ drop the investigation there is still $50k of US taxpayer dollars that are unaccounted for.

    Constitutionally the Congress has the right to know where every Federal dollar is spent as part of their oversight powers.

    So where did this $50k cash in a burrito bag go?

    Seems like this will be another Epstein Files thing in which the Republicans will refuse to reconvene Congress in order to delay an investigation.

    @Paladin @Uncle Albert @Steal Your Face @TheLonelySquire

    I know you are all fiscal conservatives. Where do you think the $50k in a burrito bag given by the FBI to Tom Holman for his statement that he would steer federal contracts to the clients of the supposed lobbyist ended up?

    Do you think we should track down this money?

    Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

    Reminder: Our grandpas and great-grandpas got shot at over the 5 day work week, and coffee breaks.
    Companies never did and never will do anything out of the goodness of their own hearts.
    Millennials, Z-ers, and Alphas really need to snap all the way out of the delusion that "oh, they'd never go that far!".
    The rich are filth, and haven't changed since Charles Dickens time.

    Seems crazily premature more than anything. Like I said in another thread if it's a year or two from now and things are going amazingly then great, give him credit, might also make him do some good things because he's a praise hog.

    Right now though it's quite possible the ceasefire breaks before people have even have this issue delivered.

    Indeed. For me, the frustration is in how legacy media bends over backwards to appease him. Now that CBS news is being administrated by Bari Weiss, I suspect that desire to push further right wing away from credible journalism will continue and from one of the oldest legacy news networks in the country.

    This may sound alarmist, but maybe having billionaires own news outlets is a bad thing in a system where having the most money brings the most power.

    I assume it's coming. We're going to see "my struggle" or some bullshit like that eventually from these collaborators.

    They have, and they'll do it again. It's just they feel comfortable sitting on the side of the fence with Trump in this one, like he's actually accomplished something.

    I would add that there isn't much honour in working out a ceasefire after you helped one side massacre tens of thousands, starve innocent civilians, and commit numerous war crimes. Deciding that "that's enough now; you can stop the massacre" doesn't seem like a very noble thing in my opinion. If Trump really wanted peace, he should have been working for it since January 20, instead of encouraging Israel, helping them, or at the very most looking the other way while they piled on the atrocities.
