Provide a link that Walz and or Frey told protesters to resist ICE or quit repeating that lie.

Lesbian sex partner.

That is a lie. Neither Walz nor Frey have told protesters to "resist" ICE.

Wait, what? Are you saying that Rittenhouse shot a cross dressing perv? Where did you get that from?

You can see the agent holding the suspect's gun while he is still on the ground. Or at least that it appears to me in that video.

Gaige Grosskreutz was not a pedo as you claimed and is not a convicted felon. Shooting someone who had only been convicted of a misdemeanor burglary does not make Rittenhouse a hero (one doesn't deserve the death penalty for that).

Easy to miss unless one just happed to click on the ICE thread as the thread title has not changed to reflect this news. And I think this definitely deserves it's own thread (just like Renee Good)

No he didn't. As usual you got the facts completely wrong. The man Rittenhouse shot in the arm only had a misdemeanor burglary conviction and had never been convicted of any sex crime. Shooting him doesn't make Rittenhouse a hero. AI Overview Gaige Grosskreutz, the man shot in the arm by Kyle Rittenhouse in 2020, was not a convicted felon at the time of the shooting. He did have a criminal record that included misdemeanors and a felony charge that was reduced to a misdemeanor prior to the incident.

After Venezuela, Greenland looks like his next target. From NYT subscriber content: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/us/politics/rubio-trump-greenland.html Rubio Tells Lawmakers Trump Wants to Buy Greenland Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told lawmakers that President Trump plans to buy Greenland rather than invade it, while Mr. Trump has asked aides to give him an updated plan for acquiring the territory, U.S. officials said on Tuesday. Mr. Rubio made his remarks in a briefing on Monday with lawmakers from the main armed services and foreign policy committees in both chambers of Congress. The same day, Mr. Trump told aides to deliver an updated plan. The congressional briefing was focused on Venezuela, but lawmakers raised concerns about Mr. Trump’s intentions on Greenland given aggressive remarks this week by the American president and a top aide, Stephen Miller, two officials said. Mr. Rubio did not go into detail on what he meant by buying Greenland. Mr. Trump spent decades in New York as a real estate developer, and one of his top diplomatic envoys, Steve Witkoff, comes from the same background. Mr. Trump has coveted Greenland since his first term. Greenland is a sparsely populated, autonomous territory that falls under the sovereign boundaries of Denmark, a member of NATO. Denmark established colonial control over Greenland in the 18th century, and allowed it to become autonomous in the 20th century. On Tuesday, leaders of six NATO nations joined with Mette Frederiksen, the prime minister of Denmark, to issue a remarkable joint statement pushing back against Mr. Trump’s assertions that the United States should take over Greenland. The nations that aligned with Denmark were Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland, all of which are close allies of the United States. “Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the U.N. Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders,” they said. “These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them.” “Greenland belongs to its people,” they added. “It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said Mr. Trump had not ruled out a U.S. invasion of Greenland .“President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States, and it’s vital to deter our adversaries in the Arctic region,” she said in a statement. “The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander in chief’s disposal.”

Thought he had a thread dedicated to him, but all I could find was one on a DOJ report he submitted with his prosecution efforts. Anyway...since he is on Trump's enemies target list, he is still in the news.

Yes it is insane and no, it won't hold.

You obviously care because you labeled Don Lemon as gay in a thread title and it has no relevance to the news story he was covering. You have never identified a news reporter as heterosexual in a thread title or in a thread have you?

What does his being gay have to do with this thread or any thread?

No, that is your schtick. Again, why did you go out of your way to label Don Lemon as gay in the thread you started about the protest at the church? WHY?

You sure do, see Don Lemon thread. Why identify him in the title as gay? What relevance does that have to do with the news and discussion?

Your hatred for lesbians and gay men is 24/7 isn't it.

You have got to be kidding.

From NYT subscriber content: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/us/politics/cubans-florida-deportations-trump.html?campaign_id=190&emc=edit_ufn_20260123&instance_id=169722&nl=from-the-times&regi_id=125207237&segment_id=214119&user_id=14502a7228c5a9b835a15627514bfe28 To Their Shock, Cubans in Florida Are Being Deported in Record Numbers Heidy Sánchez took her 17-month-old daughter to a routine check-in last April with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Tampa, Fla. During the appointment, federal authorities told her that she was being detained and that her husband should pick up their daughter, who was still breastfeeding. Two days later, Ms. Sánchez, 44, who worked as a home health aide, was deported. Ms. Sánchez’s story quickly spread across social media, in part because she is Cuban, a group that had long been treated differently than other immigrants, even when they entered the country illegally. That has changed under President Trump. He has repatriated more than 1,600 Cubans in 2025, according to the Cuban government. That is about double the number of Cubans who were repatriated in 2024. And in the years that Mr. Trump has been president, he has sent more Cubans back than his three predecessors. Those numbers are greater for Cubans who were deported by land into Mexico. Some of them had been in the United States for decades and built families and businesses, but were removed because of an old criminal conviction — say, from Miami’s infamous cocaine cowboys days in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Nowhere has the shock of treating Cubans like other migrants been felt more than in Florida, which was shaped in modern times by exiles of the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Families, businesses and communities that once felt removed from or immune to immigration enforcement now must face it head-on. Some Floridians worry that these deportations could stain the state’s proud Cuban identity, turning older immigrants against newer ones. Under Mr. Trump, many other countries saw similar increases in repatriation. The difference is that Cubans had not previously been targeted as aggressively for removal. Regular deportation flights to Cuba began in January 2017, under President Barack Obama, paused during the coronavirus pandemic and restarted in 2023. Many Cubans have also been detained for weeks or months in a facility in the Florida Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” At another nearby detention facility, Cuban detainees protested last June by writing “SOS Cuba” on their shirts and spelling out “SOS” with their bodies in the recreation yard. Legal immigration has also been all but cut out. Mr. Trump enacted a travel ban on 19 countries, including Cuba, and ended a family reunification program. U.S. officials are rejecting visa applications, which can take years to complete. Last month, the Trump administration paused all Cuban immigration cases, including pending naturalization, residency and asylum applications. “It’s the most sweeping rollback of Cuban migration channels since the Cold War,” said María José Espinosa, the executive director of the Center for Engagement and Advocacy in the Americas, a nonprofit strategy organization based in Washington.

Yup:

Exactly.

You're missing the point. Cubans were accorded special status in Florida for decades including those that were not legal American citizens - that is why they are shocked by this. This special treatment is why they have voted overwhelmingly for GOP candidates. I imagine that this will change starting in this year's mid term elections, because now they are being rounded up, grabbed off the street and deported like everyone else who speaks Spanish and/or has a brown skin color who can't show their citizenship papers. Wonder what Marco Rubio thinks of this? Doubt he has said anything about it to Trump (nor will he).
