More than an attempted coup, where a mob tried to seize Congress on live television did? There's not going to be an implosion about anything. It's either a slow slide towards oblivion where everything gets incrementally worse as people try to live normally, or a slow grind in the opposite direction.
i feel like if the president actually went through with invading greenland, it would implode America

is that piece of chicken a wing? a leg?
how big is "a piece" of broccoli?
do you just eat your corn tortilla dry?
what's "one other thing"? a dollop of salsa? a rice kernel?
these are deeply unserious, wicked people.

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

They accuse Novak of a “gross abuse of power” for asking why Halligan keeps falsely describing herself as a US Attorney.

The fact that we suddenly stopped hearing about and seeing members of The Proud Boys and other radical right wing groups as ICE began recruiting shouldn’t be surprising to anyone. They’re all members and doing what they always wanted to do.

I’d argue that it is key. Stealing a citizen’s phone is neither necessary nor proper for ICE agents to conduct their federal responsibilities. It is plainly unlawful conduct that local prosecutors could investigate and charge without Supremacy Clause problems getting in the way and no justification.
Not the key part of this story, obviously... but they *sold* his phone? WTF?
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

This bizarre and dangerous claim violates literally every section of our Constitution, which was built by geniuses explicitly to limit individual power.
