More from the article ...

... Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem immediately accused Good of "domestic terrorism" for trying to "ram them with her vehicle."

Vice President J.D. Vance and President Donald Trump all repeated Noem's talking points, with Vance accusing the media of lying about the incident.

Politico reported Friday that "even supporters of the president" are afraid the aggressive approach "risks undermining public confidence in the ongoing investigation."

One person close to the administration told Politico, "Do I think it's domestic terrorism? Yeah, I do. But it might not have been wise to say that at the outset, how [Noem] said it."

Another administration official concerned about the incident widening the political divide told Politico, "I don't know how we recover from this." ...

So.

Even the "sane" voices in the White House are still completely crazy.

They simply have an awareness of the optics of their own craziness.

How we recover from this?

Short of a major civil war in the nation, the only hope rests in the November midterms.

Unfortunately I'm not confident in the integrity of future elections when it's become so blatantly obvious republicans will do anything - cheat lie and steal - in order to keep their power.

Have become to complacent with their lies of previous unarmed law enforcement killings.

One lie does not fit all.

... Border czar Tom Homan weighed in on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's allegations that the ICE shooting victim was engaged in "domestic terrorism," telling NBC News' "Meet the Press" that "if you look up this definition of terrorism, it certainly could fall within that definition."

Shortly after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good last week, Noem painted Good's actions as "an act of domestic terrorism," though she did not provide evidence. ...

#9 Oh, lookee here.

~~rightnut~~ ~~bushlover2~~ ~~afkabl2~~ shrimpsizedgenitaliahiddenbyataco"Danielle" (28 plonks) seems to be concerned with a measly 30 million.

Funny, when you consider Pedodent Vladimir Netanyahu Trumpf and his cronies are stealing trillions of dollars of American taxpayer money and future debt.

Excuse us if nobody (who doesn't already have you plonked) takes you seriously.

You just love you some bigotry, racism and the subjugation of minorities.

Must have learned while suckling on your mamma's teat.

#9 Cut off the head then throw the body off the roof of some building ? ? ? ?

Isn't that a bit *ahem* overkill, ~~rightnut~~ ~~bushlover2~~ ~~afkabl2~~ shrimpsizedgenitaliahiddenbyataco"Danielle" (28 plonks)?

Or is this just another example of your ready, fire, aim approach to everything, including urination.
