Hume's Ghost

If Dems win in 2026, we need hearings to publicize the abuses by federal law enforcement. Then pass a bill creating a path to sue for those abuses. Trump will veto it. Let him. Let the public see these videos & hear from victims, & then learn there's no way to hold the abusive officers accountable.

There is no way that those two have ever received any kind of professional training at all. They are clearly just letting anyone that signs up for the money go out on the streets and grab anyone they don't think looks white enough however they can. It is embarrassing and a recipe for disaster.

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Shadow president Stephen Miller is not a fascist. To prove he is not a fascist he would have paramilitary and/or military forces arrest anyone who calls him a fascist.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

What happened to all those hysterical stories about "the left" disrespecting veterans? Now MAGA paramilitary forces assault one and his spouse with impunity. It takes a special kind of cowardly men to attack an 84 year old woman to prove how tough they are. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

More spine and courage than national Democratic leadership and all the tech & corporate overlords who bend the knee because standing against tyranny is less important to them than the prospect of only making 18 billion dollars instead of 20.

This isn't law enforcement. It's just paramilitary Brown shirts wanting to fight people. Over and over again we see these unprofessional thuggish tactics; there seems to be pretty clear indication that there is a top down direction to use aggressive confrontational force against the US population.

And most headlines can just recycle "Supreme Court allows Trump to do ______ "

Immigrants are not a threat to the American way of life, these fascist thugs are. If anyone needs to be deported, it's them. "You're next" one of these cretins says to the woman filming. No, you're next in line to be prosecuted for violent assault once this regime falls.

Can we get a copy of the professional standards/hiring practices? T-shirt, jeans and some Vans and it's time to do some ethnic cleansing?

Where are they hiring these thugs from? The local chapter of the KKK? Or maybe the Proud Boys? Could they appear or be any less professional? One guy is literally wearing a vest with no shirt.

US Border Patrol raid sweeps in citizens, families as Chicago crackdown intensifies U.S. Border Patrol agents deployed to Chicago led a late-night raid on an apartment building this week, rappelling from helicopters onto rooftops and breaking down doors in an operation authorities said targeted gang members but which swept up U.S. citizens and families.

This is one of those things that is just accepted as normal but appears transparently insane to me: the agency's name would appear to suggest its job is to patrol the US border, not raid inner city apartments. This shouldn't be happening, they shouldn't be doing this

What would it take to bring down this regime? What level of scandal? This is the Secretary of Defense plotting to wage war against US citizens, an act of absolute tyranny and oppression. Madison said it's proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties ... we're way beyond that now.

In the wake of crimes committed by Republican officials the Democratic mantra has been to "look forward, not backward" and we see what the result of that is. We need more Democrats willing to speak up on behalf of the rule of law. The Bush administration should have never received a pass for torture

US treasury considers special $1 Trump coin reading ‘fight, fight, fight’ US treasurer says officials looking at drafts for country’s 250th anniversary featuring president with raised fist

But don't call them fascists: Orange Nero really is in Roman emperor mode, with plans to mint an Italian fascist aesthetic coin in his image. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Prominently wearing a cross but apparently missed the part of the Bible that says one of your highest ethical precepts is supposed to be to not bear false witness like she's doing against Portland to justify deploying the military against the US population, something the Founders defined as tyranny.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.

The W. Bush administration committed war crimes but at least tried to pretend it didn't with specious legal reasoning. So when Hegseth ends up in the Hague he's made it helpful to the prosecution that he's stated up front he intends to violate domestic and international law to commit war crimes.

Kim Jong-Trump has the nerve to cite Lincoln as an example to justify deploying the military against citizens (for the crime of being non-MAGA) when Lincoln deployed the military against Confederate traitors, the very people Trump wants to restore honors to and rename military bases after.

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

Biden got old and he got forgetful. Trump got old and told the Secretary of Defense to send the military into Portland to kill citizens "if necessary" over imaginary "war" being waged there based off of Fox News recycling footage of riots from 2020.

Impressive. Insane and racist.

"Republicans in Congress must stop delicately tiptoeing with regard to sedition and must pass legislation to prosecute such sedition.

'Freedom of speech!' the American Civil Liberties Union will protest. Before we buy into the slogan, we must remember our history."

"Should we prosecute sedition?" by Ben Shapiro

"During World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the internment of hundreds of thousands of Japanese-Americans, as well as allowing the prosecution and/or deportation of those who opposed the war. The Allies won World War II."

Proof of lie: Shapiro wrote an article in Feb. 2006 saying Republicans should persecute people critical of the Iraq occupation, calling to make it illegal sedition. He implicitly floated the idea of deporting critics or placing them in concentration camps like we did to Japanese Americans in WW2

When they kept joking about killing fishermen it did seem to suggest maybe they actually are killing fishermen and just don't care. Particularly heinous since we now know that Seal Team 6 murdered North Korean shellfish divers in 2019 and sunk their bodies to cover up a botched clandestine mission.

"More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!

More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?" - Robert Bolt

Trump amplifies outlandish Biden robot conspiracy theory President Donald Trump shared on Truth Social a theory that former President Joe Biden had been “executed in 2020” and replaced by a robotic clone.

Just remembering that all of four months ago the "very stable genius" US president suggested Biden died five years ago and was replaced by a clone or Capek style robot and the country carries on as if everything is normal and we're not living in a madhouse.

The Project 2025 dystopia is going to create a federal government that does basically nothing for us other than take our money and give it to the oligarchs and pay paramilitary secret police to oppress us.
