#discharge
Does ice not have any protocols for how firearm discharge is handled? One would think it would be similar to what happens with police and sheriff departments. How does an officer leave the scene before an investigation is started? (No rules for ice or they don’t follow them? )

Not exactly. That's why so many discharge petitions have been brought successfully lately. The increasingly small margin I mentioned means that he does not maintain control of the floor.

BREAKING: All Democrats, along with 9 Republicans, just voted to advance the discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care Act’s premium tax credits. That’s a huge victory.

At least the fight to lower your healthcare premiums goes on, Leader Jeffries got a 3yr ACA subsidy extension up for a vote this week using a discharge procedure. 9 rethugs voted to overrule the rethug Speaker. Democrats are doing what they can w/ the tools they have.

Not at all. Discharge of firearm would be seen as retaliatory rather than self defense. If youre lucky youll get a reckless manslaughter on it.

They're probably pushing the "domestic terrorist" angle because they are finding out that there are laws that govern law enforcement's rules of engagement about when you can discharge a firearm, even if they are a suspect.

The thugs and goons that the DHS has brought in have probably been given full permission to discharge their weapons whenever they choose, then claim their lives we're in danger. Fuck the bastards.

If The Rookie has taught me anything, it's this:

The only time you can discharge a firearm at a moving vehicle is when the person in the vehicle is immediately threatening an officer or another person with deadly force ...

*using something other than the vehicle*

I worked with vets for a decade and I'm convinced that combat vets especially need an intermediary step before discharge that includes deprogramming and serious psychological treatment.

I'd say most of them had issues, though the seriousness varied.

The least-adjusted were invariably the ones

I signed onto a successful discharge petition to force a vote in the House on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits for three years. After months of obstruction, that vote is finally happening this week.

Congress must bring down the skyrocketing health care costs.

If you get Massie on board for a discharge petition to impeach, it would likely pass this month.

He could’ve killed more PPL w/reckless discharge of his weapon.

What are you even talking about? Dems are the ones that signed the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files over the Republican Speaker's objection. It's a Republican AG who's sitting on them right now and won't release them. If Ds were in there, don't you think she'd do it?
January 8, 2026 at 12:50 AM
Yes eventually but the momentum for a discharge petition against Noem might be there . You take the victories you can get

Impeachment bills go to the House Judiciary Committee where Chairman Jim Jordan decides when to schedule witnesses, debate, or votes.... or nothing.

Discharge petitions can override a committee chairman, but 218 votes are needed. Some Republican support is needed.
January 8, 2026 at 12:48 AM
Will they need another discharge petition in order to vote to send that to the Judiciary Committee?

It is reasonable for someone to kind of freak out when ICE is grabbing at the car door - we’ve all seen ICE agents drag out and physically abuse people.

That said, her wheels were already turned away from the agent - he was not run over.

There was no probable cause to discharge … at her head.

the thug that charged at the car probably scared the hell out of her - I didn't see any reason for him to discharge his weapon - the folke in charge have these guys thinking they can do no wrong
January 8, 2026 at 12:40 AM
You may need a discharge petition at the very least you would get every republican and God forbid Dem that refused to sign it, good luck and our thanks

Thrilled that 9 Republicans joined Democrats to advance a discharge petition to extend ACA tax credits.

This is what common-sense, common-ground leadership looks like.
