I can imagine his ‘cheeky man of the people’ take on the McCarthy trials in the 50s. “Oy, Miller- why so sanctimonious about defending reds under the bed? You got Marilyn Monroe in yours!” What a tool.

Outwardly charming & engaging, privately Machiavellian and would sell his own grandmother for a quick buck? Are we still talking about Epstein, Peter?…

I think this could be an entire comedy film franchise. Think Kingsman meets Carry On …

It was worth it! ❤️

Apparently, this is a *perfect response* when you want to prove you’re not a predator who bullies victims into silence.

And that’s leaving aside the naked ad hominem that is his entire rebuttal here. “The people raising objections to my ideas? Oh, ignore them- they’re socially maladjusted intellectuals, not cool fasci- fashionable people like me!”

Maybe his beanie should go solo?

So the tough man ‘wearing the boots’ also wears a beanie on camera because he’s scared of being identifiable to the ‘libtards’ 🤔

That’ll be the old “she was asking for it” argument that sounds obscene when you use it to excuse rape.

And guess what? It sounds even worse used to blame the victim of a murder.

Because in both cases the subtext is
“My reaction to you is entirely your responsibility. So behave yourself.”

Wondering how long democracy has left when the motto is

“Comply or Die” 🇺🇸🪦

Government definitions of ‘lethal threat’ to justify summary execution now include:

• possessing a legal, holstered gun which you have not touched
• turning right to avoid a pedestrian at 5mph
•holding a mobile phone
•smiling at an ICE guard and saying “I’m not mad”
•helping women stand up

Opinion | State Terror Has Arrived

"There is a logic, and this logic has a name. It’s called state terror."

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

This heinous regime, headed by a mob boss who doesn’t understand or care about consent, is the embodiment of toxic masculinity.

Might is right.
Silence and intimidate opponents.
Don’t cancel, just execute.

They are destroying the United States, and November is too far away for Congress to act.

Feel confused about what a Man is supposed to behave like?

Wanna know how positive and toxic masculinity are different?

Alex Peretti was a nurse who cared and stood up for those who needed protection.

The masked ICE goons who executed him in a testosterone-fuelled orgy of aggression are toxic.

Brandish: to wave about or flourish a weapon as a threat.

There are now multiple films from different angles that show him holding just a phone, before being pepper sprayed, wrestled to the ground, pistol whipped and his gun taken from its holster. Then he was executed with over 9 bullets.

So sorry for your loss. This is an abomination.

I’m a little hazy on current gun laws in 🇺🇸, but it seems to be:

•2nd amendment right to bear arms for anyone in a mask who follows a right wing Trump agenda. ✔️
•Protesters against the current regime are not allowed to carry guns, or phones, or be there and invite summary execution. FAFO❌

From outside the US, this now looks to be out of control. You are an emerging Police state.

Unless Congress gets its act together soon you may as well use the US Constitution as wrapping paper for Trump’s crown.

No police force in the free world could watch that and say it was handled professionally by ICE.

That’s a bunch of armed thugs in the throes of an amygdala hijack conducting an execution on the streets of America.

Odd that Corporal Bonespurs, whose military service was spent bravely battling his own STDs, has zero idea what went on in Afghanistan….

Agreed. It’s trigger-happy, emotionally unstable ICE officers who are roaming with a license to kill and terrorising the population of Minnesota.

economically widespread, but a political wedge can be driven between those struggling who abide by the law, and those who may shoplift to survive. In fact the problem- a poor economy with depressed wages, causes both to suffer. Reform has weaponised it to appeal to fear, not solve the economy.

It reminds me of the 2011 riots in London, when the credit crunch was in full swing and certain demographics felt they weren’t stakeholders under the new Austerity. People with little to gain by following rules have nothing to lose, and policing is always by consent. The current dissatisfaction is

Funny how the GOP framing language about Renée Good (a ‘domestic terrorist’ who ‘violently, willfully, and viciously ran over’) is specifically designed to an provoke emotional reaction rather than a calm, factual assessment.

It’s almost as if they are gaslighting the entire nation.

Truly impressive - civil protest on a mass scale. You can’t legitimately call it ‘insurrection’ or ‘dangerous’.

It’s more like a… what was the phrase? “Normal tourist visit”.

Policing is by public consent.

That’s a LOT of public. And it looks like they don’t consent.

I guess he can probably keep 6 of them under his SS trenchcoat?

So true. He’s practically a walking Verfremdungseffekt.
