Here’s a timeline of the murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretti.
Please consider Timeline: A Moment-by-Moment Look at the Shooting of Alex Pretti
Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, at about 9 a.m. Central time on Saturday morning. A video shared with The New York Times by a witness and her lawyer, as well as other video footage posted on social media, documents the violent scene, where agents appear to fire at least 10 shots in a span of five seconds.
The footage seems to contradict the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the encounter, which the agency said began after an individual armed with a handgun approached the federal agents with the intent to “massacre” them.
[Mish: Let’s stop the bullshit, NYT. The footage does not “seem” to contradict the Administration’s lies, it 100 percent contradicts the administration’s lies. Even the WSJ got this correct on its font page: Videos Contradict U.S. Account of Minneapolis Shooting by Federal Agents]
The agent in the gray coat removes the weapon from the scene. It matches the profile of a gun that D.H.S. says belonged to Mr. Pretti. Then, while Mr. Pretti is on his knees and restrained, the agent standing directly above him appears to fire one shot at Mr. Pretti at close range. He immediately fires three additional shots.
The diagram below shows the position of the agents, Mr. Pretti and other civilians at this moment.
[Mish: Many timestamped images in the article, then a display of the image in the upper right of my lead image.]
Several agents have moved away from Mr. Pretti, who has collapsed. Another agent — the same one who shoved the civilians into the street and pepper-sprayed Mr. Pretti — unholsters his gun and fires at Mr. Pretti. The first agent also fires additional shots. Together, they fire six more shots at Mr. Pretti while he lies motionless on the ground.
At least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds. By the moment of the 10th shot, the agent who moved away with the weapon has crossed the street.
The Blatant Administration Lies
- Stephen Miller, President Trump’s homeland security adviser, called the victim, Alex Pretti, who was filming Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, a “domestic terrorist.”
- The Department of Homeland Security said an agent had fired “defensive shots” because he was “fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers.”
- Gregory Bovino, a top Border Patrol official leading the crackdown in Minneapolis, said at a news conference on Saturday that Mr. Pretti “had two loaded magazines,” and appeared to want to do “maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”
- On Sunday, Trump said Democrats were to blame for the killings, not federal agents.
Lies, Lies, and Lies. The Administration knows nothing but lies.
To justify an increasingly violent crackdown, the pattern of the Trump Administration is to immediately go on the offensive, demonize the victim, distort the facts, and tell lies that only MAGA clowns wearing TWS hats can justify.
The official statement said Mr. Pretti “approached” officers with handgun and the “armed suspect violently resisted” when officials tried to disarm him.
Lies, Lies, Lies
And everyone can see it (except of course for the racists and MAGA clowns blind to anything that goes against what their cult leader says).
In November, a federal judge found that Mr. Bovino had lied multiple times about federal agents’ use of force during immigration enforcement operations in Chicago.
The Hypocrites
The Trump administration has argued strongly for the right to carry guns. A Justice Department suit filed in December against the U.S. Virgin Islands over its gun permitting process, for example, noted that “law-abiding citizens” have “a fundamental right to ‘carry handguns publicly for self-defense.’”
Jordan Levine, who runs an online gun rights advocacy company called A Better Way 2A, said that “what happened in Minneapolis shows that ICE will treat the mere presence of a legal firearm as justification for lethal force. Carrying a gun is not a crime, yet it was readily used as proof of dangerous intent once Alex Pretti was dead and unable to contest that narrative.”
Top Republicans Rail Against the Second Amendment Right to Carry Guns
Yesterday, I commented Top Republicans Rail Against the Second Amendment Right to Carry Guns
Was presumption of guilt for carrying a gun, by Republicans, on your bingo card?
Trump’s ICE Waterloo
Murdering Renee Nicole Good, a lesbian woman, was easier to brush away.
“A domestic terrorist, really?” Somehow the Administration got away with that obvious lie.
But murdering a white male who was legally carrying a gun, assisting a woman who was pepper sprayed, the man then shot in the back 10 times by two different ICE officers was the line in the sand.
All but the most brain dead of Trump’s supporters are disturbed by this, and of course the administration’s lies to cover it up.
No doubt this will bring me even more condemnation than usual, but what say we call it a death in action rather than a murder? A policeman getting killed while fighting someone (rightly or wrongly) could also be called a death in action. Police forces are the government’s armed wing for protection against its domestic prey. They aren’t really there to protect us: their main function is to be the actual muscle that protects official corruption and impudence.
Showing an AI image is not the best way to make your case. You also omitted the fact that Pretti’s gun fired a shell as it was being carried away (i.e. the gun was loaded with a shell in the chamber and safety off). Pretti was wrestling with several officers as he resisted them, his gun was spotted and one offer yelled GUN!, and Pretti’s gun fired off the first shell. ICE officers only fired afterward.
Clearly, all of you saying Mr. Pretti should not have had a concealed carry weapon on him at a protest should be prepared to have your 2A rights withdrawn. Recognize that, at this point, neither party wants an armed citizenry but it’s ok for the military to take us down in cold blood. Hypocrites.
I just finished reading and watching an excellent article by “Hot Air” on this subject matter. After reading that and then followed up by Mish’s Post, and I must say he was shot, and it appears perhaps in the back even. Regardless, it does appear the agent overreacted in the dismay.
In fairness, the man shot, should not have had a loaded gun, and mags as well, at a legal protest. No need to have it, and certainly none to pull it out. With that being said, it may have played a big role, in the heated moment, and the cause of the shot being fired.
That does in no way excuse the officers actions, but may help to explain them, and have a lot to do with the outcome of the determination and if punishment is warranted. I’m not on either side, but the fair and honest side. A lot of people are not at all looking for fairness and honesty unfortunately.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Watch & Read it yourself, but understand it next time.
btw, that gun was not simple , bought at local grocery store one.
it was special assault 9mm type of ., and W/ THREADED BARREL, EXTENDED magazine, and optic mounted!
obv. IT WAS NOT SIMPLE CARRY GUN FOR PROTECTION!
Get another beer or something.
That’s exactly what a gun for self-protection looks like in the United States. Are you going to pull a snub nosed .22 revolver on a bunch of thugs open-carrying AR-15s? This isn’t Denmark for God’s sake!
I would suggest for Mish watch video by Mark Dice .
called =These Bimbos Are All Lying About What Happened in Minneapolis with ICE This Weekend – The Truth=
just google
===
Mark is not Dem, but he also talking about stupid trump;s officials but most important he posted segment (from 15 min on) about actually officers and how they should have reacted in shooting case.
basically to make it short: OFFICERS DID WHAT / HOW THEY WERE TRAINED TO DO in such situations !!
as soon as there is gun in such scene , pretty much person is going to die.
alx
Raise a vote here. Type number 1 if you ALWAYS or SOMETIMES pack a concealed weapon when you leave your home. Type a 2 if you have SOMETIMES done so. Type a 3 if you have NEVER packed a concealed weapon.
or no !!!!. you are against 2d amendment. each and every democrat
I asked this question dozen times. did not get proper answer here.
That’s because you’re being a belligerent jerk. Why should I you’re just going to use it against me?
ignore by hiding, that moron. the mish blog experience improves when one ignores retards and assholes. just like real life.
=when one ignores retards and assholes. just like real life.
why are you so hard on yourself??
i can see you replied to me. thank heavens i cannot see what you typed. i just get this message, thankfully old sport. have a nice life sweetheart. “You have chosen to hide all comments from this author”
=you’re just going to use it against me?
wow! have you ever heard =truth shall you free=?
apparently you have not!
knives are best for close contact defense. been doing that since i was a young lad growing up in new york. no loud noises, when forced to use them, either. we have seen the true colors of the 2nd amendment patriots. they are yellow.
i witnessed my good pal, an old navajo, viet nam vet, with one eye, put his knife to some drunk cracker’s throat in a bar, who said some nasty stuff to him. he was so fast with the blade, it was amazing. my buddy would just show up on my front porch and sit in my adirondack chairs, to hang out and wait for me to come out. he never rang the bell. no idea he was coming over. i loved that dude. the best stories. he seriously, invited me up to alaska to pan handle for gold on his land……. i wasn’t man enough to hang with him and his sons for a few weeks, i told him. unless their was a spa nearby i could stay. he would always LOL.
i lived in AZ for many many years. 1/3 of my school was native folks. the apache chics were wild. in a good way. not racist way.
obv , Mish is losing it !
is it the LIE same as
= WMD’s in Iraq
= or I did not have sex w/ that women
= or building #7 fall down by itself on 9*11
= or border is secured during Biden;s admin
= or Biden sharp as tack
I can go on w/ list as long as sun is hot.
jesus! relax Mish !
men is dead!! he should have been at home
= waxing his carrot in George Carlin;s words = and did not bring loaded gun into street action.
FAFO! it is that simple.
alx
I know you could go on but we all wish that you wouldn’t. You’re wasting everybody’s time
=we all wish that you wouldn’t.
PLEASE POST HOW/WHERE DID YOU ASK EVERYBODY about my posts?
======
or it is some kind of grand delusion on your side? you know, Lebowsky “WE” kind of ?
usually non Americans use ‘WE’ in conversations. it is europe-former USSR kind of thing! socialism- communism thing!
are you an American?
ted cruz in saddling up to save the day. pederast trump is too much a peacenik for teddy.
The line is that they were at the time pursuing an armed and dangerous illegal immigrant and Pretti got in the way. With all the lies that have been told I have my doubts about the truth of this as well. What happened to this armed and dangerous immigrant, did he get away or was he arrested? If he is still on the loose should the public be informed what about a picture to be released to the media?
Is there some record of conversations between ice agents that references this other person? Where did the intelligence related to this other person come from?
Has anyone heard anything on this?
What does the DHS have to hide if it insists on carrying out its own investigation. If everything is as they say it is then you would think they would want to be fully transparent and have an outside objective party conduct the investigation.
I think they know they have a problem.
bovino is out. noem is gonna be next. trump will toss a few pawns away to keep the queen and king alive to fight another day. i think melania is the only person with any power over him. they met on epstein jet
She got away, poor thing. It’s in one of the videos.
Shooting somebody in the back is proof positive that it is defensive.
Regardless of the myriad aspects that can be considered in cases such as this, trigger happy cops are as American as apple pie. It’s not like there’s only a handful of exceptions. Shooting blind/deaf or quadriplegics or people that are not mentally competent for failure to comply is no exception; or assisting a threatened suicide by shooting them.
There is a deeper cultural current that undergirds individual events.
The routine use of swat teams and tactical gear is part of this.
Why not stake out somebody’s house and have the peace officer apprehend them when they go out for cigarettes, and without the camera team pre-positioned. Waiting people out goes a long way. The glorification of shows of force is too culturally embedded to steer clear by tuning policies.
May I add, this dude was pinned chest down with what, some 6 officers holding down arms and legs, disarmed when two of them started shooting him 10 times WHILE THE OTHER OFFICERS WERE HOLDING HIM DOWN??? Talk about the biggest threat to law enforcement was other law enforcement. Then one of the officers are on video clapping after the shooting?
THIS is rogue law enforcement culture these days
Hiding behind masks is also an important element. People are far more likely to take violent action against civilians when no one is watching or no one can identify who did it.
your web name i knew i heard but had to look up. very funny and perfect. love it. btw, james tiberius kirk, was one of the best keynote speakers i’ve ever seen at a conference, in my life. what a life. and funny.
Part of the deeper cultural current is also the stand-off between federal and local law enforcement (sanctuary city) and the political muscle behind protest c.q. running interference. There’s always a bigger context to everything.
Stephen Miller acts and looks and acts like the gestapo from Germany he should not be in our government. Fascistic creep and he appears to be the main puppet master of the weakling pretending to be our fearless leader aka Donny
nope. he should just come out of the closet, and rename himself goebbels. many of the nazis liked it rough. the sex that is. stephen miller to donald. spank me harder, daddy.
Now you know why they fight so hard to keep the Epstein files hidden!
aye aye. those files are not coming out unless the NSA has another snowden. btw my friend flew to russia to get the first interview with snowden after he took off. is snowden hero or villain ? thumbs up hero, thumbs down villain.
6 up zero down. snowden a hero. i agree
sir. democracy works. miller and trump and lutnik and bessent and noem…….are literally the perfect reflections of many amerikans. democracy works. see the republic by plato.
I often wonder how many journalists, podcasters, bloggers, etc. in this country are clueless out of ignorance or are just in agreement with the events that are happening.
ZeroHedge article: minneapolis-signal-gate-alleged-anti-ice-low-level-insurgency-command-exposed-messaging
Excerpt:
Eric Schwalm, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret who held the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 4, offered his assessment of events unfolding in Minneapolis.
Schwalm described the command-and-control dynamics operating within left-wing activist Signal groups as a form of “low-level insurgency infrastructure,” noting it appears to be created by individuals who have clearly studied and internalized the insurgency playbook.
Schwalm continued:
As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.
Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.
This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.
The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.
I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.
Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.
We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.
Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore. It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.
So u like Noem Miller bovino and fearless leader aka the weakling Donny?? I was in the army and citizen protesters are not guerillas or insurgents! If u believe what u just wrote then u r a blind follower
You are arguing with a Nazi. Someone already fully invested in the cause. Might as well be arguing with a deathcamp guard.
Nothing you can say or show will change their minds.
banality of evil. hat tip hannah arendt.
People know not to organize on Facebook or Twitter so use the best encrypted messaging app. But yeah, vast left wing conspiracy!
Even if it is organized and even paid at some level, I’d find it difficult to believe that most protestors at this point are paid agitators. People are legitimately upset. The government is receiving a strong signal that it has f**ked up and it had better listen.
The government is what is pushing people towards civil war with “domestic terrorist” rhetoric and threats to deploy the military. We haven’t seen anything like the Rodney King riots yet or even George Floyd, but the risk is that it gets out of control if this continues into summer with more escalation.
what nonsense. Zero Hedge. give u a break. 100% of what they say is exactly what Putin says.
as to content of article the message from Trump admin is ” the resistance is all organized”. Yeah, so?? why wouldn’t it be? this is how people communicate now, on social media, in groups. they are like minded individuals determined to protest ICE, to tape them, to let immigrants know when ICE is going and so on, and they are using smartphones to do it. So what? protecting is legal and organizing protests is legal. you seem to think because it’s organized as opposed to completely spontaneous that it’s illegal. it’s not. MAGA groups do this too, constantly. they organize marches, protests, Jan 6 … all was organized online with various groups feeding it. that part of it wasn’t illegal.
the article lacks specifics beyond that it’s sophisticated, it’s not civil disobedience. yes, because in the 1960s they didn’t have smartphones and social media. of course a modern day resistance movement will be tightly organized and “sophisticated” because the tech is sophisticated and makes all this really easy.
You lost all credibility by starting with Zerohedge….
I can confirm ZH is one of those MAGA cesspools at least going by comments. Few want to listen to reason. They also appear to have stopped carrying Mish articles. Mish doesn’t seem to change that much; it’s just that every administration is incompetent to some degree and if I didn’t know better I’d think Biden and Trump were having a suckage competition (in the non-sexual sense).
You’re judging the accuracy of an article based on the contents of user comments? I agree with you on the comments section of ZH, but it’s articles are another matter.
I’m judging audience and editorial bias by the articles that are posted and reactions to them. There is still some quality reposted content on ZH, mostly in the financial sphere. But the bias is real re: tariffs and the more political, the greater the bias. Merely pointing out known facts and the need for a transparent investigation on the MN shootings will get you a 4:1 downvote to upvote ratio. Nuts are all over those articles calling for Insurrection Act and sending in more stormtroopers.
Every site is biased. Mish is biased as is ZH. It doesn’t mean that articles are wrong.
As for the downvotes in comments, who cares. The ZH comment section is horrific, I wholeheartedly agree. But some of the comments here are pretty bad, too. Even though I disagree with much in both, I’m glad there is.a place where people can let their freak flag fly.
It’s more in tune with what the internet is supposed to be. We’re all better off for more of it, even if a lot of it is nauseating.
i love how amerikans who ran around places like afghanistan call the taliban insurgents. no. the insurgents are the amerikans trying to rule the world. and failing fast. we haven’t won a war since 1945. except grenada. my pal was there in med school. he said it was a joke and fun.
i would ignore the armies that keep losing. especially when they outspent the taliban……literally 500,000 to one. the amerikan empire is evil. the military are grifters. the goal is NOT to win. it is to continue wars for profit. nothing to do about protecting amerikans. 9.11.01 exhibit A. even the CIA said it was blowback. dozens of my pals from k to 12, to professional life jumped or burned to death. that was 100% preventable. grow up and see the reality of where you live
No bots allowed here.
This is comical. I don’t think the lesbian couple, with 3 little kids in school, are anywhere near some level of Special Ops coordination.
And an ICU nurse who is down there carrying a cell phone, trying to help a woman, getting pepper-sprayed while he’s at it? C’mon!
You’d have to get a quadruple layer of tinfoil under your hat before you could believe Mr. Zerohedge guy; they’re one step away from flat-earth nonsense, and are definitely Russian troll-friendly over there.
ha ha ha. funny. ZH is so random. been reading it since it started. used to be like wikileaks of finance………..now maybe one in ten topics are intelligent. the commenters are mostly idiotic, but i still learn from some.
lol, enjoy reading the stories about Signal chats. You’ll believe exactly what you’re told to believe.
I wonder how he would interpret Kent State.
He talks about these people organizing as if they’re trying to overthrow the government which is bad on you. They’re just trying to protect their community from an invasion
I wonder how he would interpret the Boston tea party.
A lot of what you describe is the same C&C infrastructure that you find with prairie dogs. Trying not to die is not the same as insurrection but I can understand the confusion. They can often look the same if you’re on the killing side. So disobedient to want to live, it’s unnatural.
The implication that these are paid agitators and not members of the community, without proof, is all we need to know about this article you’re trying to repeat
I suppose I’ve left it much too late to comment on this, but isn’t this really good? These people may be wrong about a lot of things, but at least they’re trying to fight government. I have only read about this sort of thing, but surely people fighting back, however wrong and ignorant they may be, is better than everyone just lying down and letting the government do whatever it likes to them.
My hope would be that evil right-wing people like myself will stop thinking that government can ever be on our side (without Trump anyway), and start learning to fight, too. My fear is that we shall find ourselves obliged to side with the government against the city masses, just as the French provincials found themselves fighting on the side of the official French Government against the Paris Commune in 1870.
I think it was cold-blooded (10 shots) murder in plain daylight. I still cant believe this happened in this country and that the government keeps lying about it.
Maybe rioters shouldn’t be impeding law enforcement business.
just follow orders. get on the box cars, the work at the summer camps will set you free, juden. nothing personal. just making a point. peace baby.
You’re a good example of someone who has believed the nazi/gestapo nonsense. You’re so propagandized.
you really got me. figured me out. white flag. i was exposed. seig heil
enjoy the signal chat tonight.
how was the klan rally last nigh. did you iron your white sheets ?
not sure… how was it? And how many sheets do you need to have one for everyday you’re with your comrades in Minneapolis?
too cold. it is cold enough where i was relocated 6 months ago to a half way house. they let me out of the criminally insane asylum, finally. i swear i didn’t mean to do that all those years ago.
Protesters don’t wear KKK hoods you wank. God your stupidity is showing and it’s just so annoying.
quit your crying. Grow a tougher skin, sonny.
But who’s demanding blind obedience?
Maybe degenerate maga should be banished to Greenland
You should go with them.
How were protestors impeding?
airhorns, parking cars in the street, blocking and hitting LEOs in their cars, throwing objects at LEOs, interfering with arrest procedures, . Have you seen none of the videos?
I’m surprised we haven’t seen more fatalities. Although if this keeps up, I’d guess many more will occur.
did the person they killed have an airhorn? did HE block anyone? did HE hit anyone? did HE riot in any way??
he did not. even if what you say is generally true, that’s not a reason to kill someone who wasnt HIMSELF doing anything illegal.
look at the video. if you or i interfere with any LEO, we’re gambling with our lives. If we assault a LEO, that’s just dumb.
Lick the boot harder chickenshit
Imagine if Americans in 1770 were as cowardly as you
Phil i expected something better from a xe/xir of your education. bundle up tonight…. it’s supposed to be under 10 in Minneapolis.
That’s why you’re ‘realityCZECH’ and not ‘realityUSA’.
Over here, we’re not gonna just roll over for our government to trample on our rights.
over here? as in Minneapolis? You’re way over your skis bubba.
how exactly was he rioting? tell us.
no shock to me. i’ve seen this shit on streets in 70s and 80s nyc and also up in emerald triangle. the most lawless place in pax dumbfuckistan. saw much worse in Russia in the 1990s when their empire busted up. i suspect we will all see much worse in the next few years…….
Plain and simple murder – only the willfully obtuse would try to defend this. I’m not a conservative and have been reading for Mish for years to get a broader view of economics. I haven’t always agreed with Mish, but here he is 100% correct and I join him in his outrage. What Trump is doing to this country is indefensible.
BTW, this isn’t “Economics”
politics is economics. economics was always studied in philosophy departments of universities for centuries. the proper place for the soft science.
It has the potential to have a great economic impact on this country. Impressions of our stability directly affects our actual stability. Our bonds are being sold for gold.
So when the people of Minneapolis close their shops in protest, that’s not economics?
When they declare a general strike, that’s not economics?
How about when Republicans give $160B to ICE?
Or when we can”t get workers because people with green cards, asylum, and visas are getting swept up in the general chaos and deported?
“when the people of Minneapolis” – you mean the CHOP/CHAZ wannabes. Most people want nothing to do with these sociopath rioters. Wake up.
very good points, old sport.
Do you think it would have anything to do with the price of gold going over $5 000?
Would this have any bearing to Germany’s considering the removal of all their gold from the United States?
Yes, if you think cops are robots, that’s true. People like you seem unable to disconnect hatred of political figures from events and want to pretend one has nothing to do with the other. That and your humanity seemed to have been thrown overboard.
We understand, you’re a bootlicking degenerate. Now you can shut up and let the actual Americans talk.
And another with no humanity left. Get help, Phil.
Another chickenshit bootlicker groveling for the fascists
so easy to trigger you, buddy. enjoy the Minneapolis Signal Chat tonight. Heard they shut it down. You’ll get it figured out.
I don’t know what that means but it must have something to do with being a chickenshit boot licker. We get it, roll white belly up and maybe pappy Trump will rub your tummy
Oh phil, you’re just another rube going along for the ride. Your obedience is the only ask, and you’re happily complying. Good boy.
I used to pack everyday. I’d pick the weapon along side the wallet and the car keys out of custom. One full magazine in the weapon and an extra full one on the holster. And every other legal gun owner like me would never think of packing without an extra full magazine. That’s just par for the course.
I don’t see how it did this guy any good though. He had the right and everything, but, he didn’t get to use it in self defense or anything. What’s the point?
If the second amendment is going to help against fascist government, people are going to need to get organized a lot more than what we see so far.
spoken like a brick thrower.
Spoken like a serf
Best avert your eyes peasant
so easy to trigger you, son. are you able to get more purple hair dye what with these winter conditions?
If SHTF, the need to organize will be greater than ever, but the challenge will be doing so without use of technical infrastructure that the government monitors and controls. There will be honeypots galore.
Honeypots? Now you got my interest.
One against six you will usually loose that battle. I am not sure the second amendment is restricted to being used against government…. It could be used against “outlaws” when the government protection is ineffective.
the battle for Minneapolis The Battle for Minneapolis | The New Yorker
Fraud is Monetary Policy, and the Baby Sitting Fraud was exposed. Where did the money go???
Funny how we’re no longer hearing about the fraud in Minneapolis.
Yes, the cold-blooded murders of citizens by federal officials tend to dominate the headlines, don’t they?
We also aren’t hearing about Trump’s Epstein exploits.
eat more propaganda.
said the serf, defending his noble Lord
the tds chewies are one isle over from the puppy pads, phil.
What about Donny the weakling aka fearless leader enriching himself to over 1.4 billion dollars in a year
what does your tds have to do with rioters? try to focus.
Ummm, you were the one who brought up the supposed fraud in Minneapolis. Try to focus.
(It’s starting to feel like punching down on this guy. He’s not really mentally on the same level as the rest of the commentators here).
quiet son, I was speaking to someone else. Are you having trouble keeping up? I’ll use smaller words.
This is Kent State all over again.
The students at Kent State were not armed and did not destroy property as in the Minneapolis situation today.
At Kent State the ROTC building had been torched and further attacks had been threatened. When threats of deaths are around, violence had been used and an angry mob outnumbers you then it not unreasonable to open fire.
Wow, some real psychopaths in this comment section.
So I am to believe that Allison, Jeffrey et al were armed and approached the State Guard after burning down the ROTC building? How interesting to say the least.
Taco’s predecessor, al capone, would be impressed by the “legal crime” that the current dc mafia and its proud boys are bestowing on the US and elsewhere these days.
If they wanted to impress on how well they are doing on immigration. They have lost control of the message. Now it is how violent ICE is. Multiple killiongs in two or three weeks? What other major city has killed as many in a short a time?
Chicago gets ten times that number. Mostly leftists killed by other leftists.
The protests were intentionally designed to instigate violence weeks ago. So peaceful protests (which I support) are now comingled with troublemakers and any sensible peaceful protestor should have not gotten into the mosh pit that now exists.
So I now don’t give a flying F when ICE goes Kent State on the protests. Just hope that Tampon Tim gets Charlie Kirked as one of the heads of the snake.
Another Charlie Kirk supporter spreading ‘love and light’.
Unlike Charlie I don’t turn the other cheek and sleep quite well after using deadly force.
Sure you do, piggie! Lol
U R A weakling and desperate just like fearless leader aka donny
so when kirk got shot, and his body turned the other cheek, are you saying bullets bounce off you like superman? are you tripping on LSD or doing hillbilly heroin ? sleeping well after murdering a human? definitely not reality. even ghenghis khan lost sleep after killings……….
bye neal. blocking you. you must be a theatre major and playing a role. adios and peace old sport.
U R A dirtbag
yikes. you ought to seek help and get deprogrrammed out of the cult of nazi idolatry of the donald
i wish you good luck and peace. you seem really pissed at the system. ciao ciao. i knew two actual nazis in my life. one flew for the luftwaffe. he was a great guy with so much wisdom to share about how he got where he did……….
No bots allowed here.
Seems few here are attempting to justify this shooting. Good. Much better commentary than the ice shooting of Renee Good. Murder is murder. It doesn’t matter if your murderer shoots another person on the other side. It’s still murder. I am an old time pat Buchanan Paleocon and Ron Paul Libertarian. I despise most cops- For many reasons, both personal and from my professional prosecutorial experience. I despise the police State and know full well that when the democrats get in power, they will control the cops and turn them against us. The Police State and out of control cops should be feared and resisted by everyone, regardless of your own political party and beliefs and regardless of which political party happens to be in charge when they release their goons against their political opponents.
How did trump supporters enjoy their political oppression under Biden with regard to several thousand J6 protestors. Ashley Babbit was murdered. So were Good and Pretti. I fear a government that supports and condones such murders. I don’t care if it’s Trump or Biden. I fear the Police State. Conservatives should be very careful about excusing their own brownshirts while condemning the other sides police goons. Most voted for trump to end censorship, political persecution and the police State. He has disappointed greatly. Unless he changes back to honor his promises, If you still support Trump, you are not a conservative. You’re just another ignorant member of a cult called MAGA.
Police goons? Ashley Babbit was illegally involved in an insurrection and had stormed the Capitol with thousands of Trump supporters. There is a vast difference between her and the right to protest or witness what ICE is doing.
The sole purpose of the coup on the Capitol was to prevent the orderly transition of power. Do not equate the Capitol Jan 6th insurrection with lawful protest. Neither of the two, Renee Good or Alex Pretti, were anywhere near the Jan 6 level of violence and illegality.
Do not conflate the two.
Biden did not oppress anyone who had behaved legally.
Babbit was not armed. Remember?
You anti-2A guys are a bit much.
I’m pro 2a. Facts matter.
no you are not. only when nazis have the guns.
ok sybil, take your meds.
aw. that’s cute. copying my line about trump being like sybil. gonna block you. you are too stupid. or you are just jerking off trying to piss off people 2x smarter and 10x richer than you. have a nice life. and peace.
lol, cry more. hopefully you have access to mental health services at your retirement home.
Ashley Babbitt was not armed. “Storming the Capitol,” pales compared to the damage done during the George Floyd rioting.
Good God
She was with a mob of goons smashing windows, illegally in the Capitol, a clear threat to Senators the agent was defending.
Your repeat whataboutism is not remotely similar.
We had an insurrection, with intent to overthrow the government, and that pales in comparison to absolutely nothing.
But your hatred of Biden will not let you see any reasonable point of view.
Lol, haterd of biden? Babitt was not armed. Why is that so offensive to you?
you are debating nazis. wait until 1945. there were no nazis to be found in germany or italy or france afterward. heard this directly from folks who experienced that………dad guarded nazis during the war.
J6 is complicated. There’s the issue of accused fed instigators within the crowd, officers on video footage letting people in, a mysterious pipe bomb planted nearby possibly with FBI connections. Re: Babbitt, that did look to me like a mob capable of violence and I understand the shooting rationale. But I don’t know that I’d consider it a bonefide insurrection – seemed like an incited, angry crowd carried by emotion with no real plan and far from the type of armaments that would be required to overthrow a cruise ship, not to speak of the government.
anytime there is a tie in to trump, the tds sufferers and heavily medicated develop expert opinions.
Anytime there is a tie in to trump, the TWS brigade falls at the feet of their golden messiah, and attempt to display their ‘expertise’.
The whole day was planned by Trump and his minions weeks in advance to stop the electoral count and the election of Biden. Otherwise, no one would’ve shown up. It absolutely was an attempted insurrection by any definition of the word.
How blind can you be???
Do you have evidence? Don’t talk to me about blindness when anyone can watch released footage. They aren’t all goons. In fact, most looked like they couldn’t believe they got inside and are just posing, taking pictures and walking around casually. It was stupid as hell and they certainly trespassed at a minimum, every one of them. The agitated individuals trying to break into the inner sanctum were a fraction of the total.
I’m open to the idea that Trump thought about it and hoped protests would stop Biden from being elected, but I can’t go off that and assume he planned how it went down with people breaking in. That’s why I was against impeachment (in addition to the fact that the process took place after he left office – highly irregular). Barring a successful impeachment, it had the potential to turn him into a political martyr that would backfire. I told my parents the same a few years later when all these legal cases were brought against him. He turned his mugshot into a publicity stunt to raise money, and well.. we know now how this all has turned out.
There were many misrepresentations about J6 and odd happenings (more I haven’t brought up here). Anyone who says they know exactly what happened, and how it was planned I think is kidding themselves. Odds are anyone who really knew with a willingness to tell would have double-tapped themselves by now. That’s about as conspiratorial as I get but seriously I do believe in body counts. You don’t want to mess with the gangsters – left or right.
That’s the funny part, they act like it’s just a few people out peacefully holding placards and chanting slogans.
They don’t really hold to any well-thought-out positions, or a coherent philosophy.
That’s why it is so easy for Trump to mesmerize his MAGA base.
It may have been planned by Trump, but it was also planned by Pelosi and elements of the FBI, who sent Ray Epps and others amongst the crowd to ensure that whatever they did could be deemed an “insurrection”.
“I think I’m paranoid”
The insurrection part is because they were trying to keep the Congress from seating legitimately elected representatives.
Remember, Trump’s own hand-picked Vice President was there certifying the whole process.
are you still crying about that?
No, I get it. I thought Trump was in the wrong pursuing an overturn in the way he was making calls to see if votes could be found, and trying to get Pence to do something procedurally. I just can’t mindread when it comes to his intent with his speech to have a literal insurrection as has been claimed.
I’m also inclined to believe that some fraction of the individuals had insurrection in mind. As with Trump, I cannot mindread, but I think it likely most of the people who entered the Capitol were dumb sheep, hoping to revel in the moment, have their voices heard somehow.
I don’t think there’s such a thing as an unarmed insurrection. And a pointy flag pole doesn’t count. Clearly many of the people inside the Capitol had been allowed in and they stayed within the roped walkways. Ashley Babbitt was violently storming an area leading to senators. Her shooting was understandable. So, yeah, it’s complicated. There were definitely professional instigators. I think the bombs were planted by a government employee. That poor kid they recently nabbed from Virginia and pinned it on is a totally innocent patsy who they “suddenly” discovered after five years – just to distract from the CIA woman who’d been recently named as the bomb planter. The bomb planter used a cellphone in the video. It would have been trivially simple to find them 5 years ago – if they’d actually been looking. The whole thing was a government operation, although a few of the J6 protesters got out of hand.
What kind of insurrection is it if you do not bring any weapons needed to complete the task?
All they had to do was stop the count, not shoot everyone up, to start a constitutional crisis.
correct.
Ashley Babbit was murdered. Capitol Hill police willingly escorted most of the “mob” inside. A couple of them were standing next to her when she was shot. The thugs who committed violence were rightfully charged. Most however, did nothing other than follow the crowd inside as police waved them in. They were harassed, persecuted, hunted down, charged and imprisoned because there was ZERO chance a DC jury would acquit any of them because of their support of Trump. You can’t have an insurrection where those you claim are trying to overthrow the Government are unarmed. Maybe I should have called the Democrat Congress, their president and DOJ “goons” That would have been more appropriate than picking on the poor feckless police. My view of the police can be summarized by what happened in Uvalde where over 300 police from over a dozen State and federal law enforcement agencies did nothing for 71 minutes while some wacko kid systematically executed 19 children, several of whom called on their cell phones begging for someone to save them. Same thing essentially happened in Columbine and other massacres.
“Most” of the protestors didn’t get ‘waved in by police’.
The Capitol, if you have ever been there, has dozens and dozens of entrances. There was a pitched battle that raged for hours, causing over a hundred police to get injuries ranging from mild to eventually causing fatality.
There were a couple of lightly staffed entrances where a single police member moved aside a barrier once the mob made their entrance.
But the vanguard of the J6 people were beating cops with everything they could get their hands on, flagpoles, barricades, fire extinguishers; it was a violent, disgusting display of MAGA TWS manifesting into a huge embarrassment for our country.
Don’t minimize it and claim it was ‘unarmed’ or that Babbitt was ‘murdered’. She was hopping through a broken window just steps away from where we seat our legitimately elected Congress.
Eh more what about bullshit with a slightly different spin… The dissembling to avoid placing blame where it belongs is amazing to see. It’s amazing how suddenly everyone claims they didn’t vote for Trump.
I voted for Trump. I hated him before and hate him now and only voted for him because Biden was clearly taking us towards a nuclear war with Russia and/or China and Kamala couldn’t think of a damn thing she’d do differently. I can hedge against financial disasters but not that, so I pinched my nose and did it. So there.
Excellent post Savy
Pat Buchanan was the proto-version of Trump, spewing the same Christian white ethno-centric xenophobia, just way better read but without the charisma of Trump. He also could not have been more distinct from Ron Paul.
No charisma – no win.
seems like the hard core nazis have fled mish site. he said his viewership is way down. plenty of them were here for many years. easy to sniff them out. i’ve had a few german shepherds.
obama was mussolini with black shirts. trump is hitler with brown shirts. amerika has been evil for a long time now. count the dead innocent adult and baby humans around the globe we extinguished. for nothing. 9.11.01 was an inside job for haliburton and MIC and bush crime family power…….
it’s sad the rabbit hole you’ve fallen into.
Ashley Babbit was literally crawling through the window of a locked door into an off limits area where senators were hiding from the mob she was part of. she shouldn’t have been in the building to begin with. And she was being yelled at not to do what she was doing.
“Somehow the Administration got away with that obvious lie.”
No, it didn’t. The administration’s credibility was lost in the aftermath and, after Saturday morning, it won’t return for a growing majority of the population.
Those who are being paid to meet detention quotas are no longer enjoying their jobs. If the approach and tactics remain unchanged, one would expect the reception they get in the next ‘surge’ city will be as frosty as a January night in Minnesota.
In that first photo, where is that guy’s head? Is this AI slop? Mish?
If this is a representation of evidence you’ve used to conclude…. that’s not good.
The agent is wearing a black balaclava so his head blends in with the dark mid section of the agent behind him.
If that were true, we’d see holes where his eyes and mouth are.
He’s wearing a mask and you can see his eyes
sorry phil, maybe you can. as you have special tds powers.
actually from I see the other agent’s vest with all the stuff in it (the one behind the agent kneeling him) etc… which we would not if his head was there? not sure it’s AI or what but it does look weird if you zoom on it, and it’s a suspiciously clear photo that i haven’t seen on the news sites.
the NYT has moment by moment breakdown of the shooting, but they do not have this angle at all.
It seems to me a case can be made that the Trump administration over representing itself in democratic strongholds that want to be sanctuaries is causing more of a threat than the folks they are supposed chasing down with totally unjustified/unlawful measures I am inclined to think standing down ICE in the jurisdictions that wish to be sanctuaries and federally funding at pre Biden administration levels (before unchecked immigration); then let them prosper or go broke fending for themselves. It would be rough for the folks who want law and order, but they do not have law and order now. It should be an easy sell to the sanctuary governments as they are advocating for ICE removal.
That does not solve a related root problem, namely the militarization of civilian police at all government levels. Why is an armored vehicle needed? Why are they dressed and equipped like soldiers? The unchecked government force and tactics is making our country similar to a third world dictatorship. This has progressed way beyond taking the worst of the worst off the streets. It will not change until there are many successful prosecutions against government individuals perpetrating the violence.
“That does not solve a related root problem, namely the militarization of civilian police at all government levels.”
I traveled to half a dozen countries last year, what always strikes me when coming back is how “Gestapo-ish” America looks to the rest of the world. Cops armed to the teeth, body armor, other gear. And ironically, it doesn’t feel safe to walk alone at night in any major city in the US but common practice everywhere else and very safe.
You won’t notice it if you’re always in the states, it just becomes normalized behavior. It’s only when you leave and come back that you truly sense something is way off.
Gestapo’s gotta goosestep
goose stepping is very aerobic. sometimes i do it walking just to make myself laugh and mock some asshole neighbors for LOL
exactly correct. amerika has been the world’s terrorist nazis for a long time. why do you think we have bases from europe to asia and ride the seas. we’ll bomb the living shit out of civilians for nothing more than their government is trading natural resources with someone we don’t approve of. you are correct old sport. the amerikan people will have to die off and the younger generation hopefully not grow up to be nazis. or we go bust financially and many states secede. i predict this by jan 20, 2029. made the bet with friends back in 2018.
It’s definitely going bust – the young people won’t be able to stop that. But they will adapt, form more reasonable political entities.
BINGO. WINNER. the sons and granddaughters of italian and german nazis were very keen on not being nazis.
Personally I was uncomfortable seeing armed National Guard at the Kansas City airport during the holidays right after 9/11. At least there was reasonable justification for them being there and many probably many felt safer. It turns out my feelings were closer to reality – the government used that event to ratchet up militarization and threats to personal liberty across the board and it’s gotten much worse since then.
national guard has been in grand central and penn station since 9.11.01. if my math is correct, that is for the vast majority of this now mature century. about 2 years ago i saw about 15 nat guard and nypd surround 2 hobos. the crime. take a guess.
I always notice how bad American food is, when I return.
the only country on planet i’ve been, where they serve crap and poison, and call it food.
The food is worse in England. The proles eat horrible stuff and look almost as bad as Americans.
I notice Americans are quite large and very lazy. The US population is shameful, slovenly and without a clue.
Exactly my experience too. The US continues to turn into a banana republic and most citizens have no idea because they don’t see anything different. Really sad
Dave u made good points
Werner Herzog: “America, you are waking up as Nazi Germany did.
1/3 of you
Would kill 1/3 of you
While 1/3rd of you watched”.
Fascism is easier than you think.
Cold-blooded killing is not justified even in a battlefield, much less on a city street. The man was unarmed & was shot and killed by bloodthirsty ICE agents. They must be held accountable & punished to the fullest extent of the law. The true domestic terrorists are Trump admin officials — puppy killer Noem, Cash Patel, Stephen Miller, and the rest.
JD will probably win in a landslide, sitting on couch, with Trump in charge for life in oval office………..pax dumbfuckistan is a very evil world wide warmongering empire. has been for ages. why would the people change until they are broke or defeated by some russian supersonic missiles or something……….
There is still a powerful element that would prefer Rubio or DeSantis to Vance. They will try their hardest. Not sure there’s much difference since Vance seems to be going along with Trump’s regime change schemes (and continued assistance to the genocidal Israeli regime). You’d think the Dems would have 2028 locked up, but they’ll probably nominate some nut job and could grasp defeat from the jaws of victory. I’m past caring.
It’ll be fine. They have Gavin!
Killing isn’t justified in war? Ok dude, back to the dispensary.
Nobody from MAGA changed their minds about ICE after this shooting. Nothing would ever make them change their minds.
They all came up with an excuse as to why the shooting was justified. That way they can remain sheltered in their safe spaces.
Did I trigger MAGA snowflakes, or what?
I hope it didn’t, since the officers who shot him weren’t ICE officers
I doubt nobody. MAGA (whatever remains of it) is probably more fragmented than ever. But there’s a tendency for certain sites to become concentrated cesspool echo chambers (as happens when reasonable people decide to remove themselves from the conversation and leave).
It’s not even hard. Lots of people would support, say, deporting people who have committed serious crimes, probably just by doing that when they encounter the law in the normal course of events (traffic stop, renewing vehicle registration, whatever). Or by penalizing employers who employ people illegally.
There’s not actually any need for masked goons without warrants knocking down doors with guns drawn. That’s what you do when you’re arresting a terrorist (though if you want a conviction you probably still want a warrant!), not a roofer or a busboy or someone’s abuela. It’s not even an efficient use of resources, FFS. Just pointless cruelty and drama.
“The medium is the message.” — Marshall McLuhan
In this case, the medium is unidentified armored Brownshirt goons operating at maximum violence and with the full support of the regime. There is the message.
Your talking about the Tampon Tim regime that for years threatened those who were disgusted by the fraud? Or the brown shirts of the left who are going around demanding people show papers that they are not ICE agents? Or the goons that attacked a church just like the socialists of the national socialist party of Germany did?
Be sure to never call the cops, err, brown shirts
The cruelty is the point.
Trump promised his base cruelty, during his campaign.
That’s why he appointed the dog killer as head of DHS – he knew she would deliver max. cruelty.
exactly correct. the cruelty is the point. hitler did not offer better lives for germans. he just offered revenge and cruelty. many humans love it. the human primate is complicated but very consistent. many will do anything when a silver back gorilla offers protection and revenge.
Sounds great! Except the sanctuary cities are intentionally not arresting the illegals or notifying ICE when they have them in custody. Worse yet they are running interference by tipping off the activists about the location of ICE and the registration numbers of independent journalists that have exposed fraud. Why did the local police refuse to lift a finger when activists attacked ICE or Somalis attacked Nick and even told him that he wasn’t welcome?
So ICE is now in Injun Cuntry and need to respond to that hostility created by the far left.
Ice provides fun for all ages!

Hear them screaming their tears of joy in their new home.
WTF was that. detention center?
Yup. I hear it’s like Disneyland, but for illegals.
jesus fucking christ. i hid some illegals when sheriffs were doing ethnic roundups in my hood, in phoenix AZ after 2011, when gov jan brewer signed the “papers please legislation”. i was remarking to my family and friends we have seen this show before.
That this regime still feels the need to lie indicates a certain fearfulness. Were they unafraid, they would just say yeah we killed him, what are you gonna do about it?
ICE is now an occupying army in hostile territory
If all the armed people in Wisconsin decided to, they could smite ICE into pulp.
Yet, they’ll never, ever decide to. The 2A is US fan fiction.
I’m in Wisconsin. I’m a veteran, so I automatically qualify to conceal carry here.
But there’s no way I’m getting into a firefight with anyone, in any circumstance, unless they’re attempting a home invasion.
And after all the militarization of the police? No way. I don’t even have body armor.
Eh, Putin still lies all the time and he’s as secure of a dictator as can be. I think it’s because of the shared Judeo-Christian base of ethics (I know, I know) that broadly, we as a society want to believe that the government is truthful and supports righteousness.
The photo you show, as well as the other evidence, certainly make it look like cold-blooded murder. The administration’s story is just riddled with lies. Hopefully at some point we find out who the shooters are and put them on trial.
There is no statute of limitation on murder nor is there any presidential pardon but there will be no justice until dems take over government then they can bring charges on all the ICE agents and throw them in the slammer. These ICE animals will eventually end up in cages where they belong.
Dems running the government is exactly why Trump is president and ICE agents are swarming MN. All of this can be placed at the feet of a weak, mentally demented president and the leftist liars and media cucks that took advantage of him and covered it up for 4 years. This is our country now, swinging from one extreme to the other. When/If the left regains power they will double down on the nonsense that put Trump in the Whitehouse and around and around we go until civil war.
Horseshit.
Eloquent response.
It’s what you know best.
There are more “illegals” in Texas, Florida and California than MN so why is ICE really in MN? Why does Pam Bondi want voter records? WTF do you think is actually going on here.
You must be one of those brain dead Trumpers.
Just think what dodge can do with voter records. Targeted political ads might just be the least nefarious.
Personally i think if you investigate trumps slim margin in swing states youll find musk did a good job of targeting the right voters.
Don’t jump to conclusions. My personal opinion of Trump is not in any way positive. I don’t condone any of this, I am simply pointing out why we are here. Trump won the election overwhelmingly in good part because of the open borders nonsense and the incessant lying about it from the last administration. ICE is in MN because Trump is vindictive and looking to stick it to their weak governor, who made it easy for him by ostensibly looking the other way while a parasitic minority group stole billions of dollars from the tax payer.
Trump did not win the election overwhelmingly. It was a very narrow victory, 49.8% to 48.3% with 77M voting for Trump, and 75M voting for Harris. Why he won is debatable. While immigration may have been a small element, the bigger factors were the economy and inflation after the pandemic.
CORRECT. plus, inflation, immigration and Biden having a stroke at debate. plus the DNC did not open convention to vote for replacement and let Mamala be appointed by stroked out genocide joe.
On election night it was a clear slaughter. Every single swing state a massive sweep by any standards but I have to give credit where credit is due, it never takes you leftists long to manufacture another narrative. Whatever you tell yourself is your business but it doesn’t change the facts. Also, we don’t care about the popular vote with an electoral college. If we did campaigns would be run very differently.
Eh, he barely won here in Wisconsin. There were more people who voted for 3rd-party candidates than the margin of difference between Trump and Harris. I was one of them.
Sure, he ran the table on the swing states. But it was by the barest of margins, don’t go around thinking he had a ‘massive slaughter’.
His ‘coattails’ didn’t get him much breathing room in the House or the Senate, either.
That’s part of the problem. He barely won, but he’s rampaging around like he’s got huge support everywhere. He’d be a lot better off if he was at least trying to peel off some moderates, or getting some compromise legislation.
Instead, you have bombings of boats, bombing of Iran, bombing of Gaza, Venezuela, threatening Greenland, cozying up to Putin, Elon Musk running around with a chainsaw, government shutdown, promised release of Epstein files, then signing it into law-but-not-releasing, destroying the East Wing to make a ballroom, etc, etc.
In one year!
He won every swing state because Dems ran a mentally challenged ticket.
The dems ran an accomplishment free moron and convinced themselves she was a transformative candidate. The leftist voting block in the US is incredibly obedient. They’ll do exactly what they are told to do.
Explain why trump is polling 35% if immigration was the #1 issue, isn’t he doing what he was elected to do? Or perhaps it’s all a circus show and he’s not accomplishing much except inciting violence.
but oh imagine how many there must be in Maine!
Reeeeeee!
Another false equivalency. Biden had chaos at the border. Trump has just relocated and magnified the chaos, setting ICE quotas that require them to hunt down and kill non criminals. Funny how our undocumented white people (Russians, Irish) are largely getting a pass.
A longtime forever Republican friend just posted that she is leaving the Republican party. Murder has consequences.
Cool story.
You voted for it, own it.
Nope, there will be an auto-pen furiously signing away at a stack of pardons for everyone in the entire Trump government.
They’re gonna get away with murder.
lol this is hilarious!
that photo above looks like AI. One of the LEOs is missing his head.
The crouched agent is wearing a black mask, so his head blends in with the standing agent’s black mid-section. In the videos, you can see the crouching agent’s masked head a bit better, but this frame is key as it shows the standing agent shooting a US citizen in the back. It’s not AI
And in the suspect’s hand is his gun. If this is not AI, there’s some oddities with the image.
In Alex Pretti’s hand is his cellphone, not a gun. There are multiple videos that show this clearly. Pretti never pulled his gun out. Another agent removed it from the holster, right before Pretti was shot. It’s possible this still image was run through a sharpen filter, but it is not AI.
thanks sir. i have NOT watched it. nor will i, if i can avoid. i don’t like snuff films. i saw the saddest thing in the entire world. after USSR imploded, in 90s, i saw a line of young women lining up outside a building to audition for a porno snuff film. the lucky ones survive and could feed their families. i only saw the line. my russian pals explained what was going on. growing up in nyc area during the 70s and80s i thought i’d seen it all. watching killings ain’t good for your mind or body or soul.
What is the source of the photo, I didn’t see it in the NYT article?
Wow, excellent post and double awards granted: Mishbody award in blogging journalism and 3-Star Mishelin rating on the post.
“All but the most brain dead of Trump’s supporters are disturbed by this”
Are there Trump supporters that aren’t brain dead?
Oh well at least the NRA guys are outraged by this too perhaps that’s why Trump is sending Holman out, Mr. “I can do anything” should really be scared right now.
For those who don’t know, Holman is a relative moderate. Of course nearly anyone is a moderate compared to Miller and Noem.
That’s funny… these Reasonable Nazi chaps that just dip in for a post or two say they’re fine with it.
correct. nothing has changed in the maga hate mongers minds. imho. obama and biden brutal to immigrants. and clinton was the worst to immigrants. if we go by the numbers chased out of the land. it’s all stupid. two signs on amerikan borders. HELP WANTED. and also KEEP OUT. very conflicted. our evil empire.
