What happened in Texas was a setup the shooter knew they would see his bullets , he killed the immigrants but yet his bullets were anti ice. The only thing that makes sense is the right now are trying to setup the left . They are trying to make us look like the violent ones.

One of the reasons why the FBI is supposed to be apolitical is because Americans need to have trust that investigations into atrocities like this morning are competent and removed from politics. Instead, now that the FBI is highly politicized, half the country will not trust anything they say.

1. This is unquestionably illegal and almost certain to fail in court (only “almost” bc our lawless SC runs on Fox vibes).
2. Dems need to figure out a plan if Congress refuses to certify election and tries to long parliament it (your obscure English Civil War ref).
It truly has come to that.

Awful: Trump just threatened to try to ban mail voting by executive order. What's telling is he openly linked this to the midterms, showing he will abuse presidential power in every way he can to rig them.
We talked to elections experts about what's coming. It's bad:

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

I think there are a lot of us who feel like we've been yelling this frantically into the void for a long time now. The experts keep saying it. All the signs are here. Many of us see it, and keep trying to sound the alarm, yet the public remains oblivious. It's terrifying. IDK how we break through.
The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t — LA Public Press
When federal agents checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn't expect hundreds of protesters and a day laborers’ band — now the tactic that kicked them out is spreading across LA.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

ICE just took a dad while his teenage son watched, crying and powerless.
Trump is ripping families apart—and some folks still say, “That’s what I voted for.” If that’s your take, that sentiment says more about you than it says about any undocumented immigrant.

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
