I just don't get the 'logic', does the administration think that battering the shit out of a democrat/blue city will bring the dems to heel, or make them disappear? All that's been achieved is a galvanising of attitudes and principles, those who may have been fence-sitters at elections are going to be more inclined to get out and vote. The republican/maga/ice cohort are staunchly red and will stay that way … but their numbers aren't likely to grow after watching this illegal terrorisation of parts of the population, however the blue vote and those fence-sitters with a conscience are likely to harden THEIR attitude a whole lot. I suppose really it's all immaterial, trump has no intention of holding an election, he just hasn't quite worked out WHAT fabricated, (trumped up even) event he will say triggered his decision but it's a foregone conclusion that he either won't allow an election or will ignore any honest result. I guess musk will be returned to the fold to corrupt another election if it HAS to be held.
Maybe he’ll start a war, which is what he’s on the way to do with Iran, the Middle East, and Greenland (and Europe). That will be his excuse. The ICE Thugs are an excuse to invoke Martial Law on US Soil. That’s how I’m reading the writing on the wall…
I have a difficult time clicking the heart on this one. Not because of you, Mary, but because I have tears in my eyes with the devastation (he) is causing and invoking. I want to scream, thrash, and throw flash bangs, smoke bombs, and spray pepper spray in the goons' eyes. I WANT HIM STOPPED. But then I am told to "be peaceful, be nonviolent," when they are killing innocent citizens every day. I have no solutions because nothing seems to get through to the rethugs anywhere.
Mary, thank you for telling it like it is and helping keep the pressure of the public will fixed in the center of our minds.
I’m hoping Congress ups their pluck and refuses funding while The Don and his gang of robber baron cronies are up to no good. I also hope the they impeach and convict/remove the corrupt and traitorous gang of criminals. Lord knows JD can’t be trusted with the peaceful transfer of power.
I’m also hoping that the resistance will emerge allied and victorious, and with a silver lining of appreciation for human rights and democracy from this toxic cloud of fascism.
I can't watch the news anymore! I live in NY City in Manhattan. I just wish someone would take him out and arrest him like he did with the President of Venezuela, Maduro. There are just too many things to impeach him with now and the list is very long! We are counting down the days til the midterms and I hope we can last that long! Once we win again, we need to hold them all accountable, and make some new laws so this can't happen again! We have a criminal as the President and it is very embarrassing! I have friends in Europe!
By villainizing everyone who is not a rabid MAGA cult follower and labeling them as "vermin" or "internal terrorists", as Hitler did to the Jews, Trump is encouraging , normalizing and legitimizing that they be wasted.
Trump's first wife said that he kept a book of Hitler's speeches by his bedside. It is not surprising that Trump, who has never respected anything other than money and power, is emulating Hitler's playbook and is pushing the outside of the envelope to determine to what extent his cowering sycophants in Congress and his far right-wing extremists on the Supreme Court, who remind me of the Nazi judges, will allow him to run rampant over our democratic principles in his avaricious lust for world domination.
And who but a deranged psychopath would openly avow that "I run the country and the world"?
In ages hence, in my opinion, posterity will acknowledge that while he was clearly a psychopath with an insatiable lust for power, money, admiration and world domination, we, the good people of our wonderful and cherished democracy, are the most blameworthy because we just stood by and either enabled or allowed him to satiate his visceral urges.
Did you know that Trump is asking Americans to leave the Middle East? It started a few days ago. It suggests to me that what is planned by DJT is far, far worse than what we are witnessing in Minneapolis. I’m very worried we are headed into a war and with the pending invasion of Greenland, quite possibly a World War. DJT is using Minneapolis as a distraction for the News Media and American People. I’m not a Democrat. I’m an American. DJT must be impeached and removed from office. May God Bless and Save America.
As far as I'm concerned, let the domestic wars begin. They are already here, but the protestors have whistles, leaving their guns at home, and ICE has kept their guns, and are using them, plus their brawn, their totally illegal, out of control behavior. Maybe if the protestors start shooting back, some messages will be sent. I know that DT will send in the Marines. I get it, but frankly, it's here, just being acting out on one side. As Newsom said some months ago: Bring it on. You know where to find me. Walz needs to get off of his ass and militarize the Natl Guard. Just do it. The enemy is on your streets, in your cars, sometimes in your homes or places of work. These agents need to be canceled in short order. I'm from the Vietnam war generation, and the protestors didn't use whistles, but violence when necessary. Yes, people were hurt and jailed, but the prez eventually resigned and we got the hell out of Vietnam. I certainly don't condone it, and it was an awful time for our country, but you simply can't let these out of control, vicious, ill-trained nutcases control the scenes. If Trump does wild, which he will, and sends in the military, which he will, it will eventually come back to bite him in the ass worldwide. He will never recover. Let the games begin.
Now that he has been given a Nobel Prize can he retire and let us have equality. Time for him to help Mother Nature stop the Global Warming and wars against suffering people trying to live on earth loving one another.
I sincerely believe that Trump will institute the Insurrection Act. He's been itching to do it since his first term. Whether because of fighting in the streets, invading Greenland or starting a war in Iran he will try to cancel the midterms. I spend my days trying to keep up with everything this administration is doing and it's both heartbreaking and exhausting. What really scares me is that as bad as it is, it can get worse.
Maybe ice should be sent into a Republican city and see what the reaction and results are.

I think residents of those cities would join and cooperate with ICE, judging from the execrable comments I see on FaceBook.

I got pushback for suggesting that ICE be reduced to just carrying tasers. But that pushback was correct. Just get rid of those murdering bastards!
Did anyone else have trouble with the picture and sound here? It kept buffering. Thanks.
