Is it time yet to admit that the Untied States is in the midst of civil war?
There needs tolbe a second side for war. This is just our government persecuting innocents. No war here.
Has anyone just shot an ICE agent in the fucking head yet? Once that kinda thing starts happening frequently, we can talk about calling it a civil war.
I mean, ice has shot people, repeatedly, sometimes in the head
Yeah but its not a war until someone shoots back...
Honestly they seem to be carefully avoiding the places most likely to shoot back.
Weird how "law enforcement" always seems to avoid the places where they might get something more than a papercut.
Almost like they're cowards...
Yeah they're conspicuously avoiding places like Arizona with their bullshit.
Drump will then attempt to deploy the military nationwide, he's waiting for that. If there isn't a military coup at that point, it ain't happening.
Trump does not need an excuse, he has lied and made up everything else to date without consequence.
He was on tv today saying what a disaster area Portland is in his delusional world
There plenty of time left in his legal term to come up with other excuses to do it.
I'm still baffled that this hasn't happened. fucking 2A freaks just sitting back and watching. fucking do something about it for fuck's sake, you literally have people invading your communities and taking people and you just sit back and watch, it's disgusting
2A freaks are the ones who WANT this to happen, as long as it's not "their" people.
2A freaks, Jan 6ers and white nationalist militia members are the ones Trump recruited to wear the masks.
It's a white women named Debbie.
If we're going down the list of "Then they came for the...", there's not much left. First they came for the... US citizen white women? She graduated from Columbia College Chicago in Film and Video in 1998. Because they didn't like her?
They're accusing her of "assault on a federal law enforcement officer". It's just as likely, if not more likely, that the newscast (WGN) said something ICE didn't like and started targeting them.
This is a huge line they've just crossed. This is full, 100%, straight up Gestapo.
She graduated from Columbia College Chicago in Film and Video in 1998.
There is a huge swathe of meatheads in this country that have been trained to feel that going to higher education is a bad thing.
There was an Ice agent shot by some armed folks that attacked a detention center a number of months ago.
One got away. It's hard to tell what happened to him because they were intentionally ordering the story to be covered up.
If this was the attack you were referring to, ~~sadly~~ technically it was a local cop that was shot, not an ICE agent. And the cop survived.
If that starts, Trump will attempt a serious and possibly effective takeover of the government. There's a reason there isn't violence being used to respond to his bullshit.
We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be
The fact that that statement was never treated as treason or conspiracy to commit an insurrection is both disappointing and expected.
Nah we need to keep generating court orders that no one will listen to.
I’m using the invocation of the Insurrection Act and declaration of Martial Law as the demarcation point. When the military is literally waging war upon its own citizens in their own cities, it may finally become undeniable to the average person.
It’s already started and just like the last one, it’s still rich white people against brown skin tones.
Americans never fucking learn, but justifiably kill each other over their complete and absolute ignorance and arrogance and inability to read a history text book.
Pam Bondi was just talking about how ANTIFA thugs were beating up journalists. So, how did ANTIFA manage to infiltrate ICE like that? Someone's gor some explaining to do.
Ya. This is a civil war in non-name. Wild to be alive for this. Yet another once in a life event.
Like the 5 or 6th once in a life-time events for millenials. AI bubble will crash and be yet another.
We are at war. It's important to remember the Civil War went cold. The Union tried to reintegrate them with no protections. This was kidnapping. Firearms were justified to defend her.
We've been in a Cold Civil War since Newt Gingrich took over Congress in 1994, with the Contract On, I mean With, America.
The gov needs to call up the Illinois National Guard to protect people from ICE thugs.
The comeuppance for all of this after the mid-terms is going to be frightening to ICE..
If (and this is a big IF) the mid-terms happen, vote.
The ballot boxes got sold to the repubs, trump will win with 80% of the votes
I think you mean 99.5%. The mask is off now, and I doubt they care much about preserving the illusion of democracy now that they think they're untouchable.
This is why none of them will go easily.
I lived in little village for 5 years and I have never felt was as dangerous as when ice started fucking things up.
The arrest of Brockman comes one day after a judge responded to ICE agents’ recent violence in suburban Broadview by barring all federal officials in the Northern District of Illinois from using riot weapons “on members of the press, protestors, or religious practitioners who are not posing an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer or others.”
An Unmarked Van? Masked Unidentified Assailants? It's a GOOD THING these people aren't Kidnapping Children! With how much Trump's Administration LOVES Protecting Jeffrey Epstein and His associates that would be REALLY concerning!
should we tell him?

This is why Canadians do not visit the US anymore. ICE is too unpredictable.
Fuck ICE and fuck the racist blob of flesh known as donald trump.
And the shriveling little freak known as Stephen Miller
Hey guys I heard on reddit that they get released when these things happen so this is completely fine. Sig Heil and all, er I mean um HOW DARE YOU SAY I'M A NAZI???
Gestapo
