Here’s video of the incident

Did he donate to her campaigns? A mere $25k would seem to have secured him a nice "hedge of protection"

"a hedge of protection"? Would you settle for a nice shrubbery?

"Welcome to the war zone"
Thank you Secretary Noem for making the homeland secure from the dangers of costumed protesters.

This has got to be one of the stranger wars in modern history

Goons will be goons, thugs gonna thug

Yes, the air traffic control call sign for any USAF aircraft carrying Potus is "Air Force One". It is also the term commonly used for the pair of VC-25s which are the primary long-distance presidential mode of travel. The USAF is not and has never been part of the Dept of the Navy

Trumpists can't tell the difference between a large jet and a helicopter?

They would do more than continue their support, they would gather around and cheer him on

Trump would have had his FCC chief pull the broadcast licenses of any local CBS affiliates that chose to air this.

The small town where I grew up named a popular recreational park after Murrow when he died and I can still remember the reactionary old Dutchman down the street still being so incensed about several years later I thought he was going to have a stroke. He also thought fluoridation was a Commie plot 🙄

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

With billionaire nepo baby David Ellison now owning Paramount, and with it CBS News, then installing Bari Weiss as its Editor-in-Chief, Edward R Murrow, Eric Sevareid, Walter Cronkite, and Mike Wallace are spinning in their graves so fast they could power a small city.

From the front lines of the Portland War Zone.

Because the majority are corrupt ideologues.

Plus all the wrongfully denied claims. What a good, ethical business man. I'm so proud my fellow Floridians saw fit to elect this vile greed-monster as our governor twice and then as our US senator twice. The first 3 elections he barely won so things could have easily been so much better for all.

Check this site out. For all intents and purposes the House has not been in session since Sept 19th but the Speaker has actually reconvened 4 times, for ~3 minutes each time, since then (Sept 23, 26, and 30, and Oct 3).

Before the current maladministration I couldn't name a single Deputy Chief of Staff. Hell, I don't think I was even aware that the position even existed. I wish that were still the case. Was the job title "Minister of Propaganda" a little too on-the-nose even for the Maga types?

His justifications for all 9 of the emergencies he has declared since the start of his 2nd maladministration, in order to exercise powers he doesn't have, are based on lies.

I wish I had an Irish-born parent or grandparent so I could immigrate to Ireland. ☘️🇪🇺

... when everything in the original Constitution and Bill of Rights says otherwise, both explicitly and implicitly

"Free speech zone" is an authoritarian oxymoron

Seeing as this maladministration has demonstrated an aversion to reliable data I'd also posit that they aren't statistics in any mathematical sense as well. They are most likely "guesstimates" that underestimate the reality of how many people are wrongly detained.

I would totally support this career change

The gangsta-inspired sideways pistol point is a nice touch. Is that what they're teaching federal agents these days? Oh wait, that's assuming these evil clowns had any training before setting them loose on the public

Trump authorizes national guard deployment to Chicago, White House says, as border patrol there shoots woman Illinois governor JB Pritzker says administration is escalating ‘aggression against Illinois citizens and residents’

Thanks to the absurdity of allowing the "border" patrol to conduct operations 100 miles from our land and sea borders, two-thirds of the population, and 9 (nearly 10) entire states, are subject to the the thuggery of the CBP

"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e. the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e. the standards of thought) no longer exist."

Thug much ossifers?

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cellphone while in Minnesota

The 82nd Airborne Division. No, really.
