While it's fun to make fun of Bovino's size, and gleefully so, we must remember he was born that way (because that's what happens when siblings breed) but he CHOSE to serve an evil master and lead crews of men inflicting human suffering.

This is a Tom Waits tune. It's not at all about Bovino. It's a fine little story.
So Greg Bovino is back to his post at USBP in El Centro. There are many lovely hardworking Americans in El Centro but at a place to be it is not to everyone’s taste. I had a hearing in El Centro and drove there the night before because you can’t get there in the morning…../1

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

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.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

That "ostensibly" is pulling real weight. Of course ICE and CBP are violating the Constitution left and right.
The elephant in the room has been that the President is not actually in control of anything. "Cabinet Secretaries" as he lists it, are running the country.
Seems true but rarely stated.

"Talking straight here, the big problem in this case is that the cabinet secretaries and, ostensibly, the president of the United States are not honoring the First Amendment,” Judge William G. Young said.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

Crucial context: ICE agents have typically been taught not to get scared, shoot fleeing moms in the head, and then call them a bitch afterwards on days 48 and 49 of their training.
Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.
If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

How often, of late, have we in Aotearoa New Zealand heard Luxon and the National Party telling us the people criticizing him and his spiteful policies are being "rude" or "inappropriate"?
"Tone Policing" is just a tool of class warfare. Like many places, NZ could use our Mamdani.
