Thanks for doing your part in keeping me sane. And congrats on your marriage. It’s a wonderful thing to love and be loved.

1. DOH completely politicized. Pursuing and killing innocent people. Exonerated murderers.

2. Disregarding rules re pelrosecuors and attacking judges.

3. Claiming allegations and miscommunication justified as supreme law f land.

4. Not to mention Greenland.

5. Not to mention Venezuela and taking control of oil.

This and probably 100 other 'stacks' plus the news papers say the same thing.

Carole Leonnig left the times for tv? She had a good position

I'm a huge fan of the TV programs about the FBI, such as, "Criminal Minds", etc., and am continually amazed by the expertise, courage, professionalism, and patriotism of the FBI agents portrayed in this fictional (although likely based-on-factual cases) Hollywood depictions. I am also disheartened by what is occurring in real-life within the DOJ and FBI, but understand fully, that the rank-and-file FBI agents and employees are likely still worthy of my admiration, and are not part of the "fish-rots-from-the-head" situation at DOJ.

Civil rights has been under attack in this country for many decades. Look what the NYPD did to the peaceful occupy Wall Street protesters. Were any of them punished for their crimes. One of the crimes it gets committed every day by law-enforcement is called deprivation of rights under color of law.

How many law-enforcement thugs have been convicted or even fired for harassing and murdering people for driving and walking well black? Answer: almost none!

This has been a long time coming.

Another thing they’ve been doing is something called civil forfeiture which can best be described as road piracy. It can also be described as stealing from people with out-of-state license plates.

What Trump is doing is just the next step and bringing in state sponsored tyranny against law abiding Americans.

The American criminal justice industry is a for profit industry. Does anybody remember when healthcare used to be a profession? Now it is an industry designed to make obscene profit by the cruel exploitation of human suffering.

I get it Mary Trump, your uncle Donald is a total douche bag and by my definition of human he is subhuman but he’s just one of many.

America used to be called land of the free and home of the brave. The best way to describe America now would be land of the thieves home of the slaves.

The people in our government, structure of the American government and the function of the American government has failed miserably. Next time you hear some Capitol Hill douche bag proclaiming that nobody’s above the law look at that snake and shout at the top of your lungs to that snake, LIAR!

And most people aren’t aware that under asset forfeiture laws, you don’t even have to be charged or convicted of a crime. You just have to be suspected of a crime. The cruelty here is, they take everything you own, including your bank accounts. This means now you are penniless, homeless, probably jobless and you have no way, unless you have friends or family, of defending yourself.

It’s even more sinister than what you were saying. In order for a pig/cop to detain a person they have to have reasonable articulable suspicion that a crime is at foot or a crime has been committed. These road Pirates which includes sheriff departments and state troopers don’t even have a hunch that any of the money they are stealing from drivers his drug money.

It is illegal for these criminal pigs to even pull somebody over in the first place on the pretext that they might be transporting drugs. Everything about what they do is illegal.

Pigs know what reasonable articulable suspicion is and they know the caselaw or at least they’re supposed to but they pretend not to know so that if there is any kind of action against them they can claim qualified immunity and just kind of say to the pig judge in the case,”Oops”. These pirates will claim ignorance of the law when they steal from Americans. If one of the American peasants claims ignorance of the law, the pig wearing the black robe will tell that person that ignorance of the law is no defense.

Another lie we have been told all our lives is that people are innocent until proven guilty. The next time somebody says that get in their face and shout at the top of your lungs, BULLSHIT!

True. I used to believe that…Innocent until proven guilty…. Oh, how naive I was…

Hound's avatar

I used to drink the Kool-Aid too. I guess it was wishful thinking on my part. There is no presumption of innocence.

I was thinking that a good tactic would be for people who are arrested and read their Miranda rights And then I asked by the cop do you understand your rights, The arrestee Should simply say no. If the cop asks what don’t you understand about it, The arrestee should say everything.

Overall when it comes to Police The best thing for the accused to do Is not to talk unless I know how to deal with these gaslighting criminals with badges.

Yes, we want the law to be enforced. We want criminals who are here illegally gone…but the law being enforced applies to *EVERYONE*, not just those who go against Trump/MAGA.

an excellent write up Mary! I have to get back to "talking with Lincoln" or whatever this is to write down more perspectives about 2026 while it is still January. he has a lot to say. but, part of the process is I have to check out and confirm what he says. I am Canadian and not a student of history. over here, we are not taught about Lincoln or American politics any more than you are taught about Pierre la port or William Lyon McKenzie. but, I must admit - he does have a very interesting story

I understand why the Fed prosecutors resigned "under protest", but it seems to me that we need good, honest prosecutors staying in their jobs to fight this extraordinary corruption. I really do believe that Ross will get his. How I do not know. The allegation that he has internal bleeding from being hit by Good's car? Bullshit. He looked the picture of health after the murder. If he was so injured, the hospital would have kept him for observation. These criminals will stop at nothing to make us believe the lies, and dissent or ignore the truth. Hasn't worked, won't work. All legal prosecutors, not Halligan but real ones, need to stay on the job to fight these monsters. Noem is in this position of DHS without experience, without law enforcement background, without honesty, without integrity. She needs to go...now, and with her boyfriend Corey. AND: Gov Walz needs to get off of his duff and call in the Natl Guard. The whole situation in MN is totally out of control. My God, even Bill O'Reilly stated that last night on his show, and if Bill is agreeing, basically stating MAGA is nuts, that says something. The sad thing is that ICE makes good cops look bad. Not all cops shoot innocents in the face, drag them from their cars and beat the shit out of them. Some actually follow the law and their procedures. Of course, not ICE, the jackboot agency, set up by Miss Clueless Barbie. I hated her years ago, knew she was after power and we all know what else, and I hate her even more now. She is a huge disgrace to this country.

Most Americans are better than that. We must document and publicize every instant of abuse perpetrated by our would-be king and his henchmen.

There’s just a level of depravity that is so low it’s beyond substandard of anything human.

Mike Johnson is nothing more than a choad.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told reporters Wednesday that ICE agents don't need any guardrails after the fatal killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis and reported attacks on citizens across the United States.

"I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement, and I think it's dangerous," Johnson told The Independent's D.C. Bureau Chief Eric Michael Garcia, who shared video

of Johnson's remarks on X.

"ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do, by its very name it's Immigration and Customs Enforcement, they're enforcing federal law," Johnson added. "They're going and getting dangerous criminals, sometimes in sanctuary cities, where they get too much resistance, and you know, we've seen the tragic consequences and effects of that so I don't think we need to be cutting funding right now. I think the American people want the law to be enforced. I think we need to let law enforcement do his job."

TOTAL incompetence. Outstanding people have served there for decades. It is now pathetic incompetence; blindly led by myopic oversight by a convicted felon; that refuses to allow ANYONE to fact-check him. Hidden agendas abound. Much higher oversight is required.

The Lyin' King was once only interested in civil war. Now he is turning to possible world war.

This is my opinion only, but I feel that Trump's ICE Thugs are doing the same thing that the thugs in Iran are doing, just not in the horrific numbers as in Iran. Trump says he is going to save the people in Iran. Ironic since he is doing the same thing here.
