US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

I dont understand this post, what is the alternative? Sit there and cower? Everybody knows the dangers of right wing propaganda by now... no one was diminishing its power in Springfield Ohio or now...
We can scoff at how preposterous some of this sounds (which reminds me of Democrats snickering about Trump claiming from the debate stage that immigrants were “eat the pets”), but it’s ready made for the rw spin machine where a good section of the audience is very motivated to believe all of this.

The scuttlebutt ive heard is that Homan has been against these Patton Style invasions of American cities that Noam, Lewandowski, Miller and Scovino have had hard-ons for, and he had been sidelined for that reason. This is actually a significant development
My guess is this is choreography for an exit from Minnesota. Homan will make a "recommendation" to Trump that victory has been achieved, and no further ICE/CBP intervention is required.

At this point they are either knowing lying about what they see, or they are so far up the "Daddy Donny please tread on me!" train they are hopeless...
This? This is cope. This is cope for the White House, which is watching its self lose control of its big propaganda project, and its cope for the 30-something percent of the country who still support Trump and are watching their numbers dwindle. You think they can’t see their friends change?
