My fucking god.
My grandparents were Pearl Harbor survivors, and even they would have thought this was a bad take.

Holy shit. Even for Trump this is bad.

Be Honest: Did you think Trump’s Second Presidency would be this bad?

@iseekthetroof @KeshaRose @WhiteHouse That's LITERALLY not how the majority of cases result in a Defendant being adjuticated guilty. By your logic, some of the most dangerous criminals should be let go because "there's no actual proof... just conjecture".
Those parameters are convenient for you, but not consistent.
English
@KeshaRose @WhiteHouse Hearsay and emails aren’t proof. Neither is people coming forward to accuse. This happens all the time and proves nothing. Pictures or videos or him admitting to it in writing are evidence.

It's surreal seeing videos of a smoking Dubai Airport, considering I was there less than two weeks ago. It doesn't feel safe to travel around anymore and I'm seriously reconsidering my convention attendances, particularly in the USA. Feels like just a matter of time at this point
English
@Riley_Gaines_ I cannot believe how you're letting your own insecurity allow you to partner up with men who abuse the very women you are trying, allegedly, to "protect".
It's uncanny.
But then, so is making a big deal out of losing to three cis women and tying with a trans woman.

I cannot believe you and I pay the glamorous salaries of fully grown adults who refuse to sit in a room with a guy they don't like

@MattWalshBlog You? Reliably informed? Not sure I believe that, given your track record.
But something something broken clock something something...

I’ve been reliably informed, even by some “conservatives,” that this woman is just as American as me and I’m racist if I say otherwise

“I came here for the money. I don’t even like this country." She says America isn’t better than Mexico — just a place where she can earn more. “We didn’t come for the culture or the values. We came to make money — I don't owe this country anything.”

@CynicalPublius @AOC False dichotomy, mate.
Brush up on logical fallacies and stop using them as means of supporting your arguments; they've been blasé since you were 17.
English
You are correct AOC. I think you Democrats should lead the national fight to ban dogs.
Here's the other thing: did you know that dogs exhale carbon dioxide? That's causing climate change. You Democrats should ban dogs before they destroy the planet.
I think that's a really winning strategy for you guys in '26 and '28.
English
This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official.
It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it.
Congressman Randy Fine@RepFine
If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.

They always escalate the label
before they escalate the facts.
Because once you’ve named a group as a threat,
the evidence doesn’t matter.
The frame does.
This isn’t analysis.
It’s preloading a storyline.
Assign danger first.
Insert a template.
Let fear fill in the blanks.
Notice the timing.
Notice the rhythm.
Identity first.
Action second.
Context deleted.
This is how a system manufactures an enemy class
without ever needing a war.
Just repeat the frame
until the audience forgets
it was a frame at all.
Because when you decide who’s dangerous
before anything happens,
the next headline doesn’t inform you.
It confirms you.
You’re not reacting to reality.
You’re reacting to a script
written before you saw the scene.

@EshaAA33 This question is idiotic.

NEW HOAX JUST DROPPED
The media is reporting that a "female" shooter was responsible for massacring people at a school in Canada.
Jesse Strang was a MAN pretending to be a woman.
Media is covering up trans violence
English
@MillenniumMayor @theliamnissan Right. That's why he bankrupted as many businesses as he did. That was all part of the ruse.
Do you enjoy sounding dumb, or do you just struggle with it, given how naturally it must come to you?
English
@theliamnissan Trump was an informant for the FBI so what's the problem? He did the admiral thing to do and evidently so many powerful people were involved and looks like keeping Trump secret was protection and only a few could be trusted! That's my Take👍🇺🇸🙏
And There It Is🤷🏻♂️

Teacher calls ICE to have kindergartener deported—says parents look like "they don't belong here."
"I know schools... this is an area you wouldn't normally see Hispanics—they belong in the city."
Ben Palmer has a hotline to report immigrants—people call thinking it's legitimate
He talked to a kindergarten teacher who wants to deport a family with a 6-year-old kindergartener who is currently a student at her school.
"I just think it's very odd for them to even be here," teacher explains.
"You normally don't see people around here that look like they're born in another country... I know schools, and I know the whole law about schools."

@kenklippenstein This is incorrect. Congress has not yet renewed ICE’s budget. House voted but Senate hasn’t yet. They need 10 Dem votes in the Senate. We can still stop it
English
@MattWalshBlog Fuck you and anyone else who responds to a public execution in a country whose Constitution mandates due process for all with such a bullshit, dispassionate response as this.
Incoming whataboutsims, I imagine.
English
This ICE situation is really complex. My take is more nuanced. I want our immigration laws to be enforced but I just want them to do it without using any force, and without anyone ever getting hurt, and without anything sad or upsetting happening ever, and if the people we’re trying to deport don’t want to be deported, or if liberal activists don’t want us to deport them, then obviously in that case we shouldn’t do it, but I’m totally a conservative on the issue, unless people get really mad at me then never mind please don’t yell I’m sorry.

@JDVance The callousness you have to blame a woman who was shot while driving AWAY from an officer who's being protected under the guise of self-defense is just... evil.
That's the only word that comes to mind with this kind of response: evil.
English
This is preposterous.
First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through, before the officers approach her car.
Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are approaching her vehicle because she is violating the law: namely, she is obstructing a lawful enforcement operation. You're not allowed to walk up to or drive up to people who are enforcing the law to make it harder for them to do their jobs.
Third, this defense attorney is drawing a meaningless distinction between an ICE officer and a "real police officer." Again, you're not allowed to interrupt a lawful enforcement operation, which is exactly what this woman was doing.
Fourth, the officer didn't discharge his weapon to prevent her from fleeing. When he discharged his weapon, she had pointed the vehicle at him and pressed the gas. He discharged his weapon in self defense, and other angles of the video show the woman *clearly* hit the officer with her car while accelerating.
The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him.
A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.
Jenin Younes@JeninYounesEsq
I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus. It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her. ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her. Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable. I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
