We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

TRUMP: We need you to de-escalate things, Tom.

HOMAN: What if -- and I'm just spitballing here, Mr. President -- I go in front of the cameras and do my best Ike Turner?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

The President is pulling some wild stuff out of the deepest part of his Kraken.
Trump is on a posting bender right now and has is sharing deranged tinfoil hat stuff about the 2020 election

This has so much cellphone-holster energy I can practically feel the cheap pleather chafing my waist.

"When I voted for the Punch You in the Balls Party, I didn't expect them to punch ME in the balls!"
The co-founder of Latinas for Trump is now condemning Trump’s ICE raids:

“I’m afraid of someone stopping my son.”

“This is not what we voted for.”

Since we're going to have to tear down ICE and DHS for a full gut rehab, we should also rip out the miltarization of the police plumbing while we are at it.
"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

I had to have 3 colonoscopies in the span of 18 months because my first one found a large polyp that required a separate procedure and then a follow-up. I had the same reaction as this writer -- the prep felt purifying, I got to take a little nap, and then I got to eat whatever I wanted after.
For one writer, it turns out that, despite everything he'd heard, getting a colonoscopy was wonderful. nyti.ms/3ZBRdZe

ICE so panicked they are pushing knock-off Officer Friendly content. "See, you can trust us, we even hooked up the ground to the dead car instead of this guy's nuts."
“And we didn’t even kill him!”

The official propaganda arm of the big tough Trump Administration is complaining about posters using"emojis as weapons of propaganda."

What is happening is terrible and a threat, but at the same time, never forget that these people are the dumbest clowns who ever clowned.
Then there’s…this. This is a news article, not an op ed. I reviewed Fox’s December 2019-March 2020 COVID coverage in their online news section and it didn’t throw in shit like this, even since then they’ve deteriorated

The floor for all of these ghouls is that they never know a moment of public peace again. I hope that they will face legal consequences and prison, but at a minimum they should never be able to go out in public without getting screamed at for what they have done
Beyond the obvious need for tribunals for the crimes Noem and others have committed and enabled, bringing shame back seems fundamental to the enterprise of rebuilding this country. No society can survive without a general understanding that this kind of shameless lying is unacceptable.
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Shutting down the government is better than enabling this shit any more.

There is no more important point for Democratic leadership to address than the brutality and illegality of ICE. We cannot have a democracy when the rights of citizens and legal residents can be trampled by power-drunk thugs, and we have no moral standing when we're kidnapping children.

Is the Trump Administration using a Risk board to make decisions? Will we be drawing up plans to take Kamchatka?
For the second time in two days, Trump appears to confuse Iceland and Greenland.

"They‘re not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

Most exciting Bears season since 85, even better than the 2006 Super Bowl run. I set a record for leap off the couch reactions this year, with the biggest one coming on the tying TD throw tonight. Can’t wait to see them play again in September

There are worse people in this administration, but there is no one who is more annoying and useless than Karoline Leavitt. What a waste of carbon.
LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?

REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

The Raiders may have found their quarterback
Lmao someone threw an open bottle of piss into an ICE vehicle that was driving by

When your whole political strategy is winning over dipshits and you just lost their oracle.
“You don’t want militarized people in the streets snatching up people," Joe Rogan said. "Are we really gonna be the Gestapo? Where’s your papers—is that what we’ve come to?”

ICE's horrors are achieving extraordinary penetration in info-spaces Dems need to reach:

This is one of the finest examples of the literary conflict "Man vs Shit That Never Happened"

7 out of the top 10 states for highest crime rate are controlled by Republicans. 9 out of the top 10 for homicide are controlled by Republicans. Minnesota is in the 30s for both stats.
Trump: "Minnesota Democrats love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off of the 19 Billion Dollars that was stollen by really bad and deranged people. FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!"

Jeanine Pirro will be soliciting the legal counsel of Ernest & Julio Gallo
Wild reporting from Bloomberg. Jeanine Pirro apparently freelanced the subpoenas and criminal investigation of Jerome Powell.

This is the kind of government action that right-wing idiots said Obama and Biden were going to do, and now same right-wing idiots are cheering because it is being done by their right-wing idiots.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Bears fever is spreading and I am loving it
Last night’s win by #dabears  inspired me to create this #chicagobears pennant of the famous #snl sketch of Bill Swerski’s SUPER FANS. Yes, I stayed up most of the night to make it but it was worth it! Can’t say the mustache is a good look on me but anything for DA BEARS.
