I hate how the new york times describes it. As if reasonable people could come to conclusions in support of the government. The video appears to contradict their account, type talk.

It's quite clear, it was clear with ms good and it's clear with Pretti, they were executed, in cold blood, then slandered to justify it. And most conservatives have gone along, as if federal agents executing citizens without cause is an ok precedent to set, as if it will always be the others, as if it doesn't give lie to all of their convictions and stances.

And no, the mealy mouthed NRA deserves little credit, following it's weak disagreement summary execution for reasons on carrying a handgun legally with a false accounting of protesters and victim blaming.

These people are actively betraying the United States, and the weak minded amongst the conservatives are ok with it, so much have they bought into the media and influencers that have turned them against their fellow citizens, and against the country and constitution in favor of the worst people in the world getting absolute power and plunging the world into interminable darkness, so to speak.

Every institution that previously called these people out, and resisted, gave up this time around. The NYTimes is not breaking any big scandals, and are bending over for the administration, everyone gave up prematurely here, no doubt after seeing how the democrats weren't going to win under any circumstance.

everyone gave up prematurely here

What are you talking about? NOBODY has given up, it's still the primary story, after the immediate issue of the big storm. But the storm is over, and the ICE Executions are still the main story. Today Bovino is out, Noem is being replaced by Homan, Lewandowski is probably out, and I have heard several people demand Miller's firing just this morning.

This isn't even CLOSE to over.

Maybe you're just one of those trolls who have been flooding social media with the "it's no use, the Dem leaders have surrendered, we might as well surrender, too" posts.

Ha ha, ok pal. You are right about one thing, it's no where close to over. Go team! (dripping sarcasm.) Fucking positive thinking troll is what you are. As if lying helps.

That's because you're used to the never ending amount of trash news sources that give no thought to objectivity, not real journalism.

Nothing wrong at all with that statement.

Fairness bias. Republicans say the earth is flat, democrats say it's round, news reports lawmakers can't agree on shape of earth. There is an objective truth, not in question.
