Let’s double ICE’s workforce and immediately deploy across US cities in an aggressive new initiative. Under the direction of Kristi Noem. What could go wrong?

I’m pleasantly surprised this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often. The admin has more than doubled the number of ICE agents in less than a calendar year and encourages them to conduct business wearing masks like a goon squad. I get the sense they’re not much brighter or more qualified than your average retail store security guard.

Fixed. Green.

Obviously the Biden and Trump administrations both stonewalled on this he Epstein files to protect power brokers from either side of the aisle. The key differences I see are: 1. Only Trump let his son imply it was a one-side issue, had his AG hand out Epstein “Phase 1” binders to influencers, appointed Epstein truthers like Kash and Bongino to key positions etc. 2. Trump himself is IN the files.

Would’ve been nice to have a fair and clear-eyes investigation, if the President had turned the shooting into a sideshow carnival within an hour. You can always count on Don to take the lowest road.

Hate to see it.

Question I keep coming back to is why Don let his son, AG, FBI director etc. make hay out of the Epstein files or he had no intention of releasing them. Only answer that makes sense is straight up arrogance. He thought he could wave a hand and make it all go away.

Regime change in Venezuela and that woman getting shot in Minneapolis pushed this story off the news cycle. Hard to keep up with this circus.

Do they all live in America?

@Strike and I were in rare agreement so I thought I’d play it forward.

I’m probably splitting hairs here, but I think it’s more accurate to say he acted in what he thought was self defense. Legally it’s the same thing. He won’t face any charges and that’s probably the right call. Don’t you think it’s a little odd that the President and DHS Secretary are calling this woman a domestic terrorist and insisting she was trying to run the agent down? Obviously that’s false.

I wouldn’t expect the Ice agent to know what the driver is doing and I’m sure he gets off. Law enforcement always deservedly get the benefit of the doubt. What that video definitely shows is that the woman was not trying to run anyone down.

Spoiler alert: Mamdani will get a fraction of his agenda passed and at the end of his term, New York will still be a world class city and global financial center. I don’t know who needed to hear this, but I hope I’ve spared you a lot of stress and concern.

It’s pretty obvious from the video the woman was trying to evade ICE not run anyone down. In the clip @twcsux posted the agent starts drawing his gun just as the car shifts into drive at 6 seconds. Kind of hard to argue he shot in self defense when 1) she’s turning to the right away from the officer and 2) he draws his gun before making any attempt to get out of the truck’s way.

Same. The 2A militia types are also suspiciously quiet on the issue of jackbooted government thugs these days. We’re in pretty sad times.
