It’s hard to get going in the morning, because we’re all just swimming in lies. The administration lies non-stop — they’re repeating obvious lies over and over, despite the fact that we have multiple videos that allow us to see with our own eyes how false they are.
The echo is repeated over and over again by the media. Fox News only lies, and the lies are expanding into CBS News with the corruption named “Bari Weiss”. But occasionally they slip up.
Pam Bondi has delivered an ultimatum to Minnesota. They will pull ICE out of the state (they say…don’t believe them) IF we do just three things:
“You and your office must restore the rule of law, support ICE officers, and bring an end to the chaos in Minnesota,” Bondi wrote in the letter, which was published by The New York Times and other outlets. “Fortunately, there are common sense solutions to these problems that I hope we can accomplish together.”
To stop the crisis, Bondi directed Walz to repeal Minnesota’s “sanctuary policies” for migrants and share information on its welfare programs, which have been under scrutiny over alleged fraud in government-supported child care centers and million of dollars in funds stolen through a food aid program dating back to the pandemic.
She also requested access to the state’s voter registration records “to confirm that Minnesota’s voter registration practices comply with federal law.”
So she wants an end to policies that protect immigrants, and she wants unfettered access to all the state information on welfare and … voter registration? Donald Trump wants to be able to learn as much as possible about how our citizens vote. You know, our mostly Democratic citizens. This is a crude attempt to undermine democracy.
The state has told her no, flatly, which is good. I’d rather not have ICE knocking on my door because my record shows I’m a reliable, consistent Democratic voter and they want to intimidate people like me.
Impeach Pam Bondi. It would be a good start.
Impeach the lot of them…start with Ding Don, then JD, and so forth. Throwing out the lawless government…Trump & Co…is essential to restoring the “Rule of Law.”
She’ll withdraw the ICE officers after you end the chaos and restore the rule of law? Sounds like a Catch-22.
@2 Especially since the purpose of ICE being there is to cause chaos and demonstrate that the government is not subject to the rule of law.
The purpose of the ICE rampages and murders in Minneapolis is to make us Americans afraid of the fascist Federal government.
The Trump regime clearly isn’t the least bit bothered that their agents are killing innocent people on camera for no good reason.
It isn’t working!!!
I’m an old aged Boomer.
I should be afraid of them. They have all the guns, tear gas, rubber bullets, clubs, and pepper spray and I don’t.
What I do have is a cell phone camera.
I’m not afraid of them.
What I am is getting more and more angry and more and more determined to oppose the MAGA fascists any way I can.
I’ve been out in the streets at demonstrations 7 times this last year. I’ll be out again for the next ones.
I’ve seen the same thing in Minneapolis.
People are being assaulted, tear gassed, arrested, and killed and they are still out in the streets protesting against ICE and fascism.
Way back in my naive youth I figured that if there was film or video of something, that should end all dispute (this was the era in which the NHL was starting to make instant replay available to referees, in case there was some dispute about a call). Then came the Rodney King case, in which there was (long distance, somewhat fuzzy IIRC) footage, which the defense proceeded to micro-analyze, arguing that it didn’t show what it plainly showed. In the current cases we have multiple high-quality videos from different angles — and the liars are still telling us not to believe what we’re plainly seeing.
