And ICE detained the son of a Vietnam War veteran: www.msn.com

Republicans have dreamt about having this kind of police state for decades. I'm glad their wishes came true. Is there any pushback from Libertarians who for years have argued against big government?

This is how you break American democracy.

You start arresting judges and mayors who challenge you.

ICE is the Thought Police now; they weren't afraid of being attacked by citizens, they were afraid of their Free Speech.

Which will cost you a few Trump Bucks to own pretty soon now.

HE BROKE ....THE LAW,

course people who don't care about any of the women and children raped and murdered
don't usually care if one of their own breaks any law.

on an evven funner note....biden's interview with BBC and then the VIEW today....

wow....asked on the view if he really did decline the past year he said no..

couldn't finish the sentence and Jill had to finished it for him..

and the pigs on stage and the audience just clapped and cheered...

---AOC SUPPORT FOR POTUS now growing with dems..

--enough jokes for now....the last two have my side hurting...

@#8 ... HE BROKE ....THE LAW, ...

Now do Pres Trump.

Or the J6 rioters who assaulted the police officers, among other offenses.

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
So we're different colours and we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me, though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you, so what could I have done?

[Pre-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
...

And yet according to people who were there, who I trust much more than the moron parking lot lawyer Habba, Dotard's idiotic choice for the NJ USA, and based on video of the event, HE DID NOT BREAK THE LAW. He can legally be on their property to ask to inspect the premises. He was asked to leave, and he did. THEY ARRESTED HIM ON PUBLIC PROPERTY OUTSIDE THE FACILITY. Those officers, ICE Barbie, and Habba will all be named in the lawsuit, and will all be found to have violated his constitutional rights, and by lying about him and the incident, Habba has also slandered him. He's going to get rich from this.
