Why do you get outraged by this? But ignore a woman getting knifed on the subway? Or killed by an illegal immigrant while jogging?

One is completely random, and the other can be mitigated. Yet you're outraged by the one you can mitigate.

Strange IMO.

Having a soul helps.

Morals and ethics taught by our parents.

Empathy for our fellow human beings.

Don't worry ghoul, you'll never understand.

You're a miserable, angry person who needs to see others suffering in order to feel good about yourself.

And this week Congress approved funding DHS and ICE.

But there is supposedly an initiative in Congress to impeach D/DHS Kristi Noem.

Can the "loyal opposition" do something for the American people?

This bears repeating:

There is no "fixing" ICE and DHS other than scattering them lock, tock, and barrel into the four winds on 20 Jan 2029.

PERIOD.

Another OIS that the federal government refuses to investigate (or even cooperate with or allow the state to investigate) ?

Because ... you are not the boss of them. And they are not accountable to you, The People.

Yup. They are not accountable to Congress either. Obviously.

Though I believe the Senate still needs to approve. Which of course they will without question.

I bet you the 7 democrats they selected to vote along with republicans where offered amazing severance packages.

I recently read this and it couldn't ring any truer.

"For a long time, I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly but just overwhelmed by the oligarchy and the Republicans. Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win and figured they must be just weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up any fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally, I noticed that enough of them keep voting with the Republicans to always ensure that the Republicans more or less win almost every fight, and that they start by bargaining from the Center position and moving Right-and eventually, after enough of that, it became impossible to ignore the only conclusion that actually fits the facts: The Democrats are not overmatched, they aren't weak, they aren't cowards... they're complicit."

"The Democrats are not overmatched, they aren't weak, they aren't cowards... they're complicit."

The culpable, hypocritical Congressional Democrats who defend the status quo and injustice:

"Mr President, you can't bomb Venezuela or invade Greenland! Argh!"

"Oh, you're going to bomb Iran? How soon? Dum de dum...."

Victim is Alex Pretti, ICU nurse. He was in the street, directing traffic with his phone in one hand. He saw ICE push a woman and went to her aid. ICE wrestled him to the ground and started hitting him. He had a gun, which was holstered. DHS would not answer whether the victim had brandished a gun.

Two new photos have surfaced, one showing the victim being pepper/bear sprayed at close range with his hands up, and the other shows another agent walking away with his confiscated weapon before he was shot to death.

Trump is Never Wrong. ... ....

ICE is Never Wrong ..... .... ....

If these premises are accepted ICE is Blameless.

Liberals are Criminals, Resistance is Always TERRORISM. Protests are Resistance.

If these Premises are Accepted?

Where does That leave Minneapolis?

You're really going to play judge, jury and executioner again over two pictures you saw on the internet.

This is very unfortunate that it even happened, but you have little to nothing when it comes to facts at the moment.

Sentinel is absolutely correct, and as usual, you are not.

Noem deflected when asked if the shooting happened after Alex Pretti was disarmed.

Because it was.

It's crystal clear ICE executed this man for no legitimate reason.
Video after video show what happened.

Your comment didn't age well.

We've all seen the extended videos from at least 3 or 4 different angle now, even the people who won't admit it. Everyone knows this was murder, and that Renee Good's death was murder.

Everyone knows that anyone denying it is lying. There is no discussion here.

But Kristi said...A bad man was threatening officers with a BIG Gun.. Nobody else saw that...

He was "Violent" when they tried to disarm him... Somehow nobody got Injured.. but he's dead with ten bullets in his back.

So they beat him down, took his Gun and SHOT HIM 10 TIMES IN THE BACK. While he was helplessly being detained by several officers.

That's what I saw from, 4 DIFFERENT Angles.

Trump's got Nothin'

Lying Asshole, like,Usual.
