All while their representatives testifying to congress claimed there is no database of americans opposing ice. We all know there is, one of the police told the protesters they were on it and to have fun with that as well.
We need consequences for these guys lying to congress like that. Whoever that was just a few days ago should be forced out. He can't claim ignorance, or litigate the definition of database, he knows he lied, we know he lied.
I remember the "have fun with that" quote. It was oddly smug and childish, which is why it stuck out.
Perhaps it's naive of me to think so, but I read that the Minnesota District Attorney is deliberately not pressing charges (at least for the 2 murders) until the chance of a presidental pardon is nil.
The minnesota attorney(ies) isn't pressing charges because they are derelict in their duty, showing cowardice in covering their charges by the Shield of State Law, and surrendering the 10th amendment to the feds.
Not having evidence shared by the feds, when there are multiple videos of the incidents, is disingenuous, and it isn't credible for anyone to accept that as an explanation, even if one discounts how democrats do that with every issue opposed by powerful interests they promised to do something about, they make a performative gesture, get stopped, then say well I tried, as if that performative effort was sufficient and there was no real politik to be played.
The feds set the precedent of summary execution of a citizen without cause, denying the state access, then lying about irrefutable fact to justify it, branding their victims as domestic terrorists at that.
Under this precedent, they could accost the governor, throw him around, shoot him dead, then claim he grabbed for a gun. Cameras or no. You do all understand why it's important the state presses charges even if the feds defeat them, or forestall them? This is a big deal, and these are just precedents to use when it counts, they are setting as many as possible on immigration because it's the issue they have the most support on.
Nationwide injunctions are forbidden, so there is nothing to stop them from rounding up people into camps without cause. Unrest caused by stealing elections, or whatever else will get ugly, they are planning on it, and fighting under these democrats as we are, we are guaranteed to lose. We inlcluding democracy, such as is left of it.
