Bash: "But the fact that the FBI created a list about the allegations against Trump is certainly noteworthy…Did you look into what you have on those lists?"
Blanche: "I don't appreciate it being directed towards Donald J. Trump because that pushes a narrative that is completely false."

A deliciously snarky quote: "There is, for this reason, something delicious about her failure, which is already well on its way: Ellison’s arrogance and Weiss’s smugness have combined into a supernova of stupidity and ineptitude. "

I was worried that if Trump, like the President of South Korea, declared martial law, we would not get millions of Americans to march and throw him out of the White House. I was worried that the military would not join the people. But now I have a glimmer of hope. I believe the people WILL 1/2

Homeland Security sent a memo to Congress to explain the moments leading to Alex Pretti's death.
In it they state people were told to get off the road. When they didn't they were sprayed with chemicals.
How does ICE have the authority to control the public right-of-way? They are not the police.

I just realized that this was a case of Federal employees killing a federal employee. Not cool.

This is just fantasizing, but what would happen if a bunch of guys with guns and hangovers went out for donuts together and were confronted by a bunch of people blowing whistles at them? Would they snap and push people to the ground? Even shoot somebody?

Imagine this in a trial.
Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing
Declaration filed in federal court:
"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The problem the Trump administration has now is its persistent pattern of lying means that when it mouths the mantra "the agent feared for his life" to justify killing a civilian, people rightly just don't believe it. When you then don't investigate the shoot, people rightly are even more suspect.

NOW the US tried to justify the killing in MInn by speculating that the victim was going to engage in a mass law enforcement attack- with no credible evidence of that or that the agents believed that at the time they killed him. This is a govt RUN AMOK with deadly consequences, here and abroad.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.
The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.
