This is precisely how you should respond to a bullshit investigation.
“This new threat is not about my testimony last June, or the renovation of the Federal Reserve Buildings… this is a consequence of not following the preference of the President”

This is a corrupt, politically motivated attack on the Federal Reserve.
The strict independence of the Fed has been paramount to the stability of the global economy for over a century, which will collapse if Trump moves to seize control of it.

Solid point.
There's no reason for ICE agents to have guns. Nobody is shooting at them.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

“Appears to undermine”… grow a fucking pair @cnn.com, seriously.
The video evidence appears to undermine elements of the government's narrative of what happened in Minneapolis. https://cnn.it/4qqhOUQ

Bully’s who pick on you, taunt you, even put their hands on you and then overreact if/when you respond. They’re creating the situations. On purpose.
⬇️ They are absolutely being trained to do this, and then to claim that they are being threatened and therefore justified in using deadly force. This is almost certainly coming down from Stephen Miller
Something that needs to be elevated is that ICE agents have been instructed to threaten and illegally detain legal observers. It's a criminal conspiracy to deprive Americans of their 1st & 4th amendment rights.
Renee Good isn't the only victim ICE has targeted and won't be the last.

The problem at its root.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Let's make a list of reasons it's ok to kill citizens:
- Has pronouns
- Is gay
- Is Divorced
- Has children from failed marriage

Jesse Watters highlights that Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by ICE, had "pronouns in her bio" and "leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage"

Donald Trump wasn’t lying when he said he could get away with shooting someone in the street in broad daylight.
He just forgot to specify if it would be murder for hire.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.
Scum.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum.
We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.
