@RupertLowe10 You... you do know this is just his staff frantically making him paper over what he said the day before, right? Right? Is that seriously your measure of "honourable"?

A very honourable statement from President Trump.

@darrengrimes You could be highly concerned about both. It's not that difficult.

I’m more concerned with how the British government treats our troops than I am the US President.

@Pam873661762475 @ryangrim I'm sorry. Are you kidding me right now? Because of the Second Amendment.

@ryangrim Why was he carrying an assault weapon with 2 magazines?

Drop Site obtained harrowing footage of the latest killing which appears to be from the perspective of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk

@famousamosquito @VAGAMU @nytimes It's frankly astonishing you people ever had a revolution.

@VAGAMU @nytimes He shouldn’t have been there He shouldn’t have interfered He shouldn’t have resisted He was concealed carrying He should have declared his weapon at once to fed agents So avoidable.

Breaking News: Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a person in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, state and local officials said. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4qFR5nJ

@famousamosquito @nytimes He was on the ground being beaten up by a bunch of masked federal agents.

@nytimes What was tha person doing when he was shot??

@Dadpool416 @EcoFashionByBG @globeandmail You don't think this is a dangerous and divided world? Seriously?

@EcoFashionByBG @StMattsBetsy @globeandmail Dangerous and Divided World! ...oh wait, that's Carney's words! My bad~

@EcoFashionByBG @globeandmail Start by taking a look at his voting record.

@StMattsBetsy @globeandmail Can I get one example of him being vicious or destructive to people other than the opposition party which he is paid to oppose? I'll wait.

@Ocuroj @adamnagourney And hopefully they won't.

@adamnagourney This misrepresents the situation. Now that they don’t have an exclusive money losing contract, other opera companies will be able to perform there.

A major rebuke to President Trump’s campaign to remake the Kennedy Center; the Washington Opera said today it is moving out. Here’s our story. nytimes.com/2026/01/09/art…

@Shoot_The_Glass @Acyn If you think any of this is "post-Christian", you need to take another look. This is literally the retrograde Christian nationalism that Reagan sought to build via the Moral Majority.

Trump on Greenland: If we do not do it the easy way, we will do it the hard way. By the way, I am a fan of Denmark. The fact they had a boat land there 500 years ago does not mean they own the land. We will be doing something with Greenland—the nice way, or the more difficult way

@EdTesticles @SonnyBunch Nope.

@SonnyBunch Can this even happen?

Who needs Bernie Sanders.

@ctdonath @TheJFreakinC Of course I am. But I'm just a yahoo. I'm not an armed instrument of the state. Do you really want untrained reactive yahoos like me in charge of whether you make it home tonight? Seriously. Think about what you're rationalizing. No standards, no self-control, empowered to kill.

@TheJFreakinC But you’re presenting it as though that’s all that matters. If I follow you around for days, getting in your way, being a deliberate irritant, toeing the line of illegal, “doing nothing more than” … you’re gonna start yelling at me and making threats.

🚨 BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents once again threaten to illegally arrest a U.S. citizen… for standing on a public sidewalk and filming them. Yes. Really. In the video, in Beaverton, Oregon, multiple agents swarm a man who is doing nothing more than observing and recording from a public sidewalk, something that is 100% legal and protected by the First Amendment. An agent claims they “know who he is” and accuses him of driving erratically and being “a danger to the public.” Which is rich, coming from an agency with a long history of hitting people with vehicles, assaulting women and children, and “accidentally” firing or dropping loaded firearms. But, even so, they are not police and cannot arrest someone for a traffic violation. Then the threats start. “You are interfering with our operations.” “You could be arrested.” “We will arrest you.” Again, the man is standing on a sidewalk. Not blocking anyone. Not touching anyone. Not saying anything beyond asserting his rights. Another agent jumps in with, “You were following us yesterday.” Cool story. Still not illegal. They repeatedly claim he has “interfered with operations,” yet, the only behavior they can actually point to is… observing them. Existing near them. Filming them. When the man calmly says, “I’m not interfering,” the response is: “If you continue, you will be in handcuffs.” Let’s be crystal clear about what that means: ICE agents are threatening to arrest a U.S. citizen for continuing to legally observe and film them in his own neighborhood. When the man states the obvious, “I’m not breaking the law and you know it,” the agent completely loses it. He steps inches from the man’s face, points at him, shoves into his shoulder or chest, and screams, “One more time and I will put you in handcuffs.” This isn’t law enforcement. This is intimidation. The man tells him to get off him. The agent responds, “No, I’ll stand right here, pal. Right here all day,” while continuing to press into him. The citizen points out the setup perfectly: “If I touch you, you’re going to arrest me, right?” Exactly. That’s the game. That’s when the agent snaps completely, screaming that the man is “worthless” and has “no honor.” Which… feels like projection. This video shows exactly what ICE and Border Patrol are doing across the country: They are trying to scare people into not filming. They are trying to bully citizens out of exercising their rights. And when intimidation doesn’t work, they escalate. Because they know that cameras expose them. So here’s the takeaway: Always film. State your rights calmly. Keep your hands visible and on your phone. Narrate everything that’s happening. They want silence. They want fear. They want no witnesses. Don’t give it to them.

@atrupar Wow. That's quite the bottom line. Congratulations, Americans, you're now literally enemy civilians in a war zone, and you're paying for it.

Rep. Wesley Hunt: "The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep you life"

@ewarren The reason you don't have those things is that most Americans are too stupid to vote for govt that could make them happen. I don't envy you the battle, but best you at least identify it correctly.

Why don’t we have low-cost electricity or health care? Why don’t we have sensible gun legislation? Why don’t we have laws to make prescription drugs affordable? Because corruption keeps the government from doing the people's business. We must get dark money out of politics.

@MikeBrannonX @RpsAgainstTrump Are you even listening to yourself? He's justified in KILLING her? Not shooting out the windshield or a tire but KILLING her? This is the kind of law enforcement you want? Death penalty on site? Wow.

@RpsAgainstTrump The officer wasn’t in front of the vehicle until she backed up and turned… positioning herself in the path of the officer. She then drove FORWARD directly toward the officer, hitting him while gunning it to the right. The offcier is justified.

A new home security video angle shows Renee Nicole Good did NOT attempt to run down the ICE agent who killed her. She was trying to leave, and the agent was NOT struck. The Trump regime’s claim that this was “domestic terrorism” is a disgusting lie. Justice for Renee Nicole Good

@MollyJongFast Honey, y'all are way past that point.

We can see the video (s) with our own eyes. Are we no longer supposed to trust our own eyes?

@AlphaLiger @DHSgov Then show it.

Merry Christmas, America. We are blessed to share a nation and a Savior.

@demster70 Reminder... a wish for someone is supposed to be about them, not about you. If the best you can muster is a performative expression of how little you actually care about whether they celebrate Christmas, Jesus is appalled by you.

Reminder... It's Merry Christmas, not happy holidays.

@goddek Weird. So you're wishing someone 'Merry Christmas' but you don't actually even care if they celebrate Christmas? What a truly empty performative gesture.

It’s “Merry Christmas,” not “Happy Holidays.”

@C_3C_3 I mean, maybe Republicans just need to work harder. Pull up their bootstraps. Rise above the lower expectations they've allowed to limit their opportunities.

If Colleges and Universities are going to continue to receive taxpayer money their faculties should be mandated to have a 50/50 political ideology split within 10%. If they violate the mandate all funding is stripped.
