I don’t think I’d call them “wannabes” I mean DHS has been recruiting with white supremacist dog whistles. It’s highly likely they hit their target audience and recruited whites supremacists who are now hunting humans and leaving white supremacist symbols behind.
ICE is leaving Vietnam-style death cards in the wake of their kidnappings because they are the saddest, most embarrassing military wannabes to ever live

Today, we lost another Minneapolis neighbor after multiple ICE agents pummeled him and shot him to death.

How many more people need to die or get shot before this ends?

President Trump, I am calling on you to put the American people and this American city first and get ICE out.

Stage 1: “It’s unsinkable.”
Stage 2: “Ukraine doesn’t have the means to sink it.”
Stage 3: “It’s sinking.”
Stage 4: “It sank, but it was a storm.”
Stage 5: “Ukraine should pay us for sinking it.”

Multi-layered “look what you made me do” lie.

Because Norway didn’t give a him prize (it doesn’t decide winners) for ending wars (he didn’t end) the US won’t be peaceful anymore (bombing multiple countries) and will take Greenland (part of Denmark, not Norway) to stop Russia (it’d help Russia).

[1/6] A reminder: Europe has cards to use against the US. Lots of them.

To cite some examples:

- Tighten screws on US digital giants (taxes, fines, even bans)
- Export taxes disrupting US supply chains eg pharma
- Exclude US firms from European procurement, inc defence

Alliances aren’t a one-way subscription. Trump: “NATO is zero without America.” Meloni (meme): “Cool… so should we shut down your bases, cut trade, or just storm McDonald’s? 🤔” Iconic power move — and a reminder: leverage and commitments run both ways.

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault.

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night.

An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

Speak for yourself. Ik ben net zo boos om de vele slachtoffers van kleur als om Renee Goode. Dit sleetse riedeltje afdraaien, iedere keer als er ophef is om een wit slachtoffer, is duizelingwekkend onsmakelijk en ongepast.
De vele aandacht voor het doodschieten van Renee Good is goed en terecht, maar ook hypocriet.

Ons hart heeft ruimte genoeg voor rouw om haar dood én het besef dat niet-witte slachtoffers van haat, waar ook ter wereld, veel meer compassie verdienen dan ze nu van ons krijgen.
I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

Maar de NOS neemt gewoon het statement van ICE over. Hopelijk volgt er nog een correctie. Die twee video's, uit verschillende hoeken, liegen niet.

Dat mensen tegenwoordig openlijk racistisch durven te zijn, is het gevolg van top-down beïnvloeding. Domrechtse influencers als Bart Nijman en Arthur van Amerongen worden regelmatig geretweet door m.n. BBB-politici. Feitelijk zijn vd Plas & Co de reden dat een boerenlul uit Urk zich zo uitlaat.
