What the ever loving fuck? Why do we need a lawsuit to make someone enforce the existing Wisconsin bribery statute?

Since we allowed a dictator to take control.

Lie all you want, it won't matter unless you started some time ago. I'm sure they just looked at all their social media accounts and could see who to send to the political rally.

Oops. Fixed.

Remember Anwar Sadat? Maybe they do know something.

Well, I certainly hope the other marines soldiers around them are now fully aware that these scum bags have placed their political views above their oath to the Constitution. I certainly would not trust any of them to have my back.

Maybe leg braces, but I'm betting it's catheter bags. Taco Don switched from diapers.

'Alleged' migrants, because without due process, we really don't know, do we?

A report published earlier this year found that the top 100 billionaire families in the U.S. pumped a record-shattering $2.6 billion into federal elections in 2024—which amounted to one of every six dollars spent by all candidates, parties, and campaign committees in total.

Fuck me! I knew it was bad, but 16.6% of the money spent on federal elections came just from the top 100 billionaire families -- and that is another phrase that breaks my brain. That is insane! No wonder this country is so fucked.

Cooking kills salmonella. If you cook the eggs properly (firm white and yolk) and wash your hands and cooking surfaces properly, you aren't going to get sick. Salmonella on/in eggs isn't too big of a deal unless you are eating them raw or under-cooked or not washing up well enough.

Border patrol has enormous zones designated as border areas. Nearly two thirds of Americans live in that zone.

Fucking Biden. The Supreme Court put a gun in his hand. If he'd used it and sent Seal Team 6 to Mar-a-Lago we wouldn't be having these problems.

Stop discrediting ways of protesting you dont like by making sruff up. The outside agitator trope is a counterinsurgency tactic to sow distrust in resistance movements.

This already happened with the George Floyd protests and in the end no proof was ever shown for this being a relevant factor in any meaningful way.

Yes, it can be used to sow distrust, and it's also a method that has been regularly used to incite violence so the authorities can respond with escalated violence. As for proof, you mean proof like the white supremacist that police identified as having been started fires and incited violence at otherwise peaceful George Floyd protests? Or this one? Or these guys?

The use of agents provocateur to turn peaceful protests violent is so common that it's practically a tradition at this point.

Maybe they do, but I'd like to see them get a refresher course.

Newsom and all Democratic governors should immediately start requiring all National Guard troops to attend classes or seminars on their legal rights and what to do when given an illegal order.

How is it censored? The one you linked to also has the audio bleeped out and, since it's been converted to vertical format, it is clearly not the original.

This one is a better quality horizontal format, but even it has the audio censored. I've yet to see an actual uncensored one.

Throwing rocks, starting fires, and initiating violence? I'd say there's a much better than 50% chance that this is someone who came to instigate violence rather that support the protest. If he's ever arrested, I'd bet money that he turns out to have a pardon from Trump in his history or a ProudBoy tat or both.

“You have people hiding their faces behind scarves and keffiyehs like they’re in ISIS, storming libraries, vandalizing buildings and literally – I’m not exaggerating – terrorizing their classmates,” he said.

Wait... is he talking about the protesters or ICE here? Because it really sounds more like ICE to me.

They'll find some low level election official to blame it on charge them with election fraud. Maybe they'll do time or maybe they'll be pardoned. It will not likely have any effect on the 2024 election results because it's unlikely that there would be enough Harris votes found to change the state and thus the national results, and this district is all the trial will be looking at.
