Actions have consequences

At the moment, the people in my town, including myself, pay for the meals of uniformed service members we see in restaurants.

The respect Americans pay to service members and veterans is huge. Rightfully so.

If Trump gets the regular military involved with his nasty, gangster BS, I promise that will change.

The Law of Unintended Consequences raises its ugly head once again under the sinister Trumpf junta.

Good thing these FAMs didn't overreact.

Sidenote: Sky marshals are supposed to look like dopey, harmless passengers. Their main weapon against a terrorist on board a flight full of passengers is surprise and guile, followed by expert pistol marksmanship with special ammunition.

If these three were immediately identified as federal agents, they gave themselves away to an angry, amateur mob.

But three white guys in excellent physical condition with short hair and possibly loose jackets to hide their firearms is a dead give away.

Well the obvious solution to this problem is to have air marshals wear face masks. They will blend right in ...

Thanks Trump you're making life hard for legit law enforcement.

Leave it to President Plane Crash to make life difficult for air marshals.

Any blame left over for the mob making terroristic threats?

Agreed paid mobs are better.

Can't blame people for protecting their communities.

If you weren't such a vile piece of s*&^ you might have a community to feel that for.

Willing participants in these ICE "operations" deserve to have their lives made into a living hell. They should be ostracized and forced to live on the fringes of civil society.

They are engaging in responsible COVID protocol.

still running with that stupid false equivalency?

No they weren't. There is no "protocol" in effect.

As of early 2026, widespread government-mandated COVID-19 restrictions (masks, vaccine passports) are no longer in effect. Some narrow, temporary, or industry-specific protocols, such as specific workplace safety reporting in California, may still exist until early 2026, and health agencies recommend vaccines for high-risk individuals.

Well that was another BellFail.
