And from those MAGA I know, they are often losers who feel they should have done better in the “greatest country on earth”. Trump’s super power was giving them permission to blame minorities again.

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.
It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is.
All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

If our administration is as racist as the Left claims, then why have the past two civilians we've murdered been white?

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

My favourite fail from Moriarty is the $45 billion Hunter Frigate scandal. Under him Defence didn’t assess the project for value for money and ‘lost’ the records explaining why they chose UK’s BAE to deliver the mess … but there are so many it’s hard to choose. www.anao.gov.au/work/perform...

In the Commonwealth under Labor and the Coalition, if you are a senior mate, you always fail upwards. Defence Secretary Moriarty has overseen procurement disasters and scandals, the AUKUS debacle and recruitment fails - so next stop Washington of course.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?
