@JDVance You fucking liar. We all saw the video. The ICE agent shot her through the drivers side window. THE SIDE of the car. Where he was NOT in danger. This was fucking murder.

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.

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.

President Trump will be remembered by history as the President of Peace. It's time our State Department display that.

This morning, the State Department renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history. Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. The best is yet to come.

Your job as a man is to protect your woman from the world, from her own stupid ideas and provide for her so other man can’t access her.
It’s not actually your job to be nice to her, make her laugh or be her friend.
Very much like a strict parent raises good kids.
Strict men have good wives.
If your woman won’t obey you? Skill issue.
All that friend crap the ends badly for the man and the woman.

While President Trump is signing a historic executive order to end childhood cancer, the Democrats are voting to shut down the government over giving free healthcare to illegals.

In all seriousness, if the stopped escalator was an act of sabotage, whoever is responsible must be severely punished.
Melania lost her balance and had to quickly grab the rails.

Dear Jimmy Kimmel,
In your semi-apology tonight,
you LIED AGAIN.
You were not making “light” of Mr. Kirk’s death.
The suspension you justly received last week was for FALSELY ACCUSING,
MAGA and Republicans “one of their own” you said, for the murder of our friend Charlie Kirk when it was in fact just another in the long line of Murderous Leftist Lunatics who killed Charlie, who get their inspiration to kill from YOUR DANGEROUS LEFTIST RHETORIC.
You and your other Late Night Host’s and the other illiberal media’s constant propagandizing and demonizing fellow Americans as fascists and Nazis have created the atmosphere where Leftists feel that killing people who think differently is justified.
And you were NOT even telling it in the form of joke either. You liar.
Even your own ABC affiliates are bored and sickened by your constant political indoctrination by comedic imposition and refuse to air your show.
Free Speech is indeed all speech. We must even protect the speech that we loathe.
Well, most Americans are decent God fearing people and we loathe your speech but will continue to support your right to speak it freely.
But we don’t have to watch.
And we won’t.
Signed,
America

@ryanjtroy @Heyitshassan no one talks about the personality shift as you get older. where you no longer want to be impressive, you want to be rested. you want to be regulated and completely unavailable to anything that drains you

Never understood the idea of going to a show just for a headliner. Show up early and u could discover the next big artist before they blow up. In today’s economy why would u pay to dance for 1 hour when u dance for 4.

Stray observation from Morgan Wallen concert:
At one point in the show, he stopped to express gratitude for the tens of thousands of paying fans, thanking them for making it so he can live out his dream, saying he wished he could look everyone in the eyes.
As a massive sports fan, this was almost a foreign experience. It is extremely rare now that athletes even pretend to appreciate the fans.
Wallen is probably the biggest music star in the world right now this side of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, more people know who he is than almost any of these athletes, so it has kind of stuck with me for a few days.

@TeamBandL I love the Lane8 TNH events. Makes you really live in the moment.

one of these days we wanna throw a party where no phones are allowed.
at so many events, we’re seeing ppl glued to their phones or taking vids, instead of enjoying the moment.
we’ve seen a few shows do no phones and the dance floors explode with energy.
