The ‘Chipocalypse’ is now A training ground for the military?

Trump vowed Chicago would learn why the Defense Dept is now "called the Dept of WAR" and depicted himself as the amoral war monger Lt. Col. Kilgore.

The ‘Chipocalypse’ is now.

Troops are in the streets. ICE is using helicopters to raid buildings.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

Portland And Beyond This afternoon, Donald Trump was asked about invoking the Insurrection Act: “I’d do it if it was necessary.

An NYU legal ethics professor has “called the arrangement ‘rather bizarre.’ Pointing to rules of professional conduct for lawyers that prohibit conflicts of interest, he said Mr. Ellis… could not ethically give himself legal advice about…whether policy actions he wants to take would be lawful.” 2/

Fox and Jessie Watters specifically are useless trash. They make Jerry Springer look serious. This really does look like they masked up Robert O'neill for these fictional "interviews". This fits right in with right wing influencers showing up in Portland pretending to be Antifa.

Can’t stop thinking about this and what it says about a person.

"[Miguel Ángel] García-Hernández worked as a house painter and had been detained during a traffic stop weeks earlier before he was transferred to ICE custody. García-Hernández ... was in the process of getting legal residency after living in the U.S. for two decades."

When they later claim they were just following orders, when they say they were just doing their jobs, when they say they were just trying to meet the needs of Trump, remember... they dug their own legal graves.

The legal pendulum swings back. And it swings hard.

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

Grilled Pam Bondi refuses to deny that Tom Homan kept $50K in FBI sting Attorney General Pam Bondi declined to deny that President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, accepted $50,000 in cash during an FBI sting operation.On Tuesday, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) ques...

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump in has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

All year, we’ve seen this administration treat appropriations bills less as laws-to-follow and more like Lucy playing football with Charlie Brown. What should make this moment any different? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

The Attorney General is telling Congress to talk to her subordinate because she's either corrupt, incompetent, or both

Wow — Trump & Russell Vought are trying to stiff furloughed federal workers and not give them back pay for the shutdown… but Speaker Johnson’s own website says they are legally entitled to back pay when the government reopens. 🤔

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

we gotta stop using “democratic run” or “blue cities” and start saying donald trump is invading “american cities”

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

How federal agents are terrorizing American citizens Last week, hundreds of heavily armed federal agents descended on an apartment complex in Chicago, arriving in Black Hawk helicopters and moving trucks.

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants.

The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

The devolution of CBS News A network once revered for fact-based reporting is embracing right-wing pseudo-journalism

1. CBS, once one of America's most trusted sources for news, has hired anti-woke crusader Bari Weiss as its Editor-in-Chief

With Weiss, CBS is embracing someone who talks a lot about honesty but has a history of distorting the truth to conform to her right-wing ideological agenda.

Let's review.

Waukegan mayor intervenes after Border Patrol arrest of woman turns physical outside Waukegan City Hall The Waukegan mayor intervened after U.S. Border Patrol agents forcefully arrested a woman, who is reportedly an American citizen, outside of the Waukegan City Hall Monday afternoon.

#ProudBlue “We don’t need a warrant… f–k off,” one of them responded. The agents also said that it did not matter what her citizenship was and alleged that she was impeding an investigation.”

No. One. Is. Safe!
