It blows me away that there are still people out there with functioning brains who don’t take his deranged threats seriously. Maybe they will figure this all out in 3 more years.

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.
DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

This is f*cked up!
There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling.
And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen.
So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

One agent literally moves to stand in front of the vehicle (she has no other way to move) and two
more agents, including the one who shot her, approach the vehicle. Those are not the actions of people who have a reasonable belief that they are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.
