Now that Pirro has ruled, can we have an army of brown people carrying rifles and shotguns parade through DC? Maybe assemble on the steps of the Capitol or outside the White House?

It's okay to force people to wear masks, get vaccines and not allow them to visit family in hospital rooms and nursing homes to protect others' health but severely mentally ill persons must be allowed to roam free and be a danger to themselves and others. Got it. /s
First, the US has never recognized ICC authority (the body that issued the warrant) through multiple administrations of both parties. Second, even if the US recognized that authority, it shouldn't matter if he agreed to a ceasefire. His past actions bought the warrant.
As tough as any federal agent who gets hit by a sandwich and claims bodily injury.
Yes, terminate gerrymandering. But when someone pulls a gun on you, that is not the time to preach gun control. And Texas has pulled out its gerrymandering gun.

As Chief of the Pamunkey Tribe at the time I received the same response from Courtney Stein despite showing that the reporters' opinions were not based on facts and that they even contradicted themselves with their opinions within the same podcast.
Why should a private entity such as Disneyland, take on any additional security protocol for anyone - Vance, Trump, whomever? Local governments have to but private entities? Disney should have told him he either waits in lines like everyone else or don't bother coming.
Or, Indict Trump. Convict Trump. Execute Trump. ICE, ICE, Baby.
Working at a gas station in my teens, I remember it so well.
How about more workers and less entrepreneurs, influencers, digital creators and other BS?
These patrols are the same as Russia flying close to Alaska or China sailing in the South Pacific. The intent is to provoke a reaction or escalate tensions. Trump then has something to point to as the reason for his action, which then stirs up support within MAGA, which then allows him to escalate.
Work as Trump's personal appointment scheduler.
Virginia Democratic governor candidate Abby Spanberger getting hit about contributions from a Chinese businessman by Fox and others who neglect to research FEC data to see the same guy has contributed to RNC, NRCC, Trump, Pence and a few Republican congresspersons.
I agree with Mark. Govt can tax corps and then use money to help workers, wasting much as usual. Or let corps provide better for workers and minimize govt waste. Incent corps based on a living min wage, affordable health/dental/vision plan, 401K contributions, leave policies, etc.
Pass federal law that maps are only drawn on geography using county and city lines, not race or party, and let the chips fall. VRA supporters won't like but better than the current law of the land that allows maps based on party.
Quit stereotyping. Hips would provide this robot greater leg strength and pelvic stability. Not to mention she would look hotter. :)
Mass protests are not enough. Who cares if you get a permit and follow all laws on how to properly protest? Civil disobedience is needed. Sit-ins of the 60's weren't civil. Those involved didn't politely follow the law. They purposely broke the law and riled up the establishment doing so.
The Constitution doesn't prohibit separate counts of citizens and non-citizens. But just like non-citizens have due process, non-citizens would count for congressional representation.
It seems the same people who protest ICE detainee rights abuses are more than willing to deny other people their rights if the crime is offensive enough. That's not how our system works. Ask the ACLU which defended Nazis.
Is she an escape risk? Is she a risk to other convicts? Is she a risk to herself? Answers to those questions should dictate level of security. The greater the prison security, the higher the cost. Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for higher security to make others feel good about the punishment.

Last week, Trump listed Saquon Barkley as a member of Trump’s sports council. Today, Saquon announced he turned down the offer several months ago.
Wondering what would happen if thousands of Hispanic-looking American citizens started hanging around locations ICE patrols exercising their right to remain silent until after arrest and during processing. Would that gum up the works? I'd volunteer.
Why do sex offenders normally get a higher security prison? Security level should be based on public risk if convict escaped or risk to convict from other convicts. Not simply to make time served harder which would cost more to taxpayer.
Did you know that Virginia still elects its Lt Governors (and Attorneys General) separately from its Governors? You can have any mix of parties filling the three offices. When Democratic Senator Tim Kaine was Gov, both his Lt Gov and Attorney General were Republicans.
Release the Epstein files if only to show the gullible the BIG LIE they bought as pushed/supported by rightwing news, Bondi, Patel, Bongino, Flynn, Loomer, Trump, et al. Maybe other lies and conspiracy theories can end - flat-earth, anti-vaxxers, election fraud, weather manipulation, Bigfoot, etc.
Trump looms over America like a vulture.
A Truth Social account is a good thing to have just for that purpose.
Available on Amazon with free returns.
Home insurance policy issues are becoming a major problem for Florida.
He says that like it's a good thing. Wealth = resources. The more anyone gathers resources, the less that others have.
This needs to be reported as another in a long line of dumbass statements by Trump that: 1) shows how just how stupid, incompetent, morally bankrupt, etc.that he is, and/or, 2)shows how he wants to play the media to distract from the real danger he poses to the entire country.
I wish it could be so but his MAGA cult followers in Congress won't convict. And the saner Republicans in Congress know that open defiance of the Orange One will earn the wrath of the MAGA cult voters in their districts and states without gaining any Democrat votes to stay in office.
Rich Paces, Kerr County Commissioner posting on Facebook about support for flood victims. www.facebook.com/profile.php?... He's not posting his 2022 comments against taking fed funds to upgrade communication systems. legacy.co.kerr.tx.us/commcrt/minu.... Scroll down to page 21, line 18 to read.
How does Loomer think Bondi is responsible for hurting Trump? Bondi treats Trump as her personal client and there is no way DOJ would have taken action that might hurt him without his blessing.
I like the idea of "Truth, Justice and the American Way". The American Way as in acceptance of immigrants from anywhere, to include Krypton. The American Way to be kind and care for the less fortunate. The real American Way and not the way of the Trump administration and his MAGA cult followers.
Just read that her petition cites adultery. She should know that Eph. 5:22 (wives submit to husband) trumps the 7th Commandment (do not commit adultery) and Lev. 20:10 (death to adulterers). She should be stoned for going public. Heavy sarcasm here.
Maybe Ken only grabbed women by the p***y. His wife might not like it but his voters will give him a pass.
Yes, reporters should keep quoting her. And then quoting the staff who walk her statements back. It's her problem that the walk-backs become the news and not her statement's subject.
Gotta love these blonde white ladies wearing crosses and saying shit like this. /s
I guess we can replace FEMA with MEMA (Mexican Emergency Management Agency). All jokes aside, kudos to these Mexican volunteers for their service.
"effectively wield". Let's hope Democratic leadership and candidates can actually do that without wasting time and resources to promote worthy, but unrelated, issues. Begin documenting the actual pain this bill will produce to Americans already hurting.
I would have lost my appetite at the idea of ketchup on hot dogs. You just made it worse.
They peacefully, but illegally, protested inside a federal building. Without the arrests, it would have simply been a peaceful protest which gets little attention. Peaceful=CIVIL. Illegal=DISOBEDIENT. We need less peaceful and permitted protests and more CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE to get attention.
I'm beginning to think all the books and movies about people with special abilities are bogus. I mean, if telekinesis was actually real, someone would have done the world a favor by now.
I'm waiting to see what happens if they do this in Virginia where it's against the law to wear a mask to conceal identity. And that law gives no exception for law enforcement.
About 34 total were arrested for protesting INSIDE a federal building which is illegal. Some were in wheelchairs. Should just those in wheelchairs get a pass? No. Civil DISOBEDIENCE means purposely breaking the law in a civil manner and then accepting the consequences as a martyr for your cause.
Would it be possible to organize a team that sits on the Capitol steps round the clock, near where the plaque is intended with a repro of the plaque? The team can provide info about the delay and hopefully bring attention to the issue.
Trump says the bombing was done to protect national interest and it's not a "war" per the War Powers Act because there are no troops on the ground. Oh wait, my mistake. That is what Obama said in 2011 after bombing Libya. My point is no President has ever believed the WPA is constitutional.

Many have rightfully praised our military for its work bombing Iran because our military is very good at fighting battles. But it's not about battles. It's about war and wars are waged by our leaders. And they've sucked at waging war for the last 80 years. Why should this be any different?
Too late.
Trump also said, "“Well, considering that I’m the one that developed ‘America First,’ and considering that the term wasn’t used until I came along, I think I’m the one that decides that,”. Earlier users - Pres. Wilson (1916). KKK (1920's). AMERICA FIRST COMMITTEE (1940).
He should be willing to describe each and every conflict of interest. I have a feeling that the primary conflict is that each one believes in vaccines.
First day on the Internet? /s Come on Mark. If you want great cuisine, you don't go to McDonalds. If you want great music, you don't go to a kazoo concert. If you want great conversation, you don't go to a mental hospital.
Civil disobedience is a conscious act to be "civil" (non-violent) and "disobedient" (breaking laws). If true to the concept, you knowingly break laws and accept the consequences. This makes you a martyr. Breaking laws and then crying about the consequences makes you a criminal.
The law does not require the Gov to request. In 1957, AR Gov called up the NG to prevent school integration. Pres Eisenhower then federalized the same NG to resist the Gov orders and enforce integration.
It's wrong, but not illegal. In 1957, the AR Gov called up the NG to prevent black students from entering a public school. Pres Eisenhower then federally mobilized the same NG right from under the AR Gov and ordered them to enforce desegregation.
Awesome reminder!
Bingo!
I concede that makes a difference in whether Trump "should" mobilize the NG. But I don't think it moves the legality meter.
Military strikes tend to provoke military strikes. That's war.
Congressional retirements are the same as federal employees.
In 1957, Arkansas Gov Faubus called up the Guard to keep black students out of Central High. Pres. Eisenhower then federally mobilized the Arkansas Guard thus taking control away from the Governor. So I think Trump can mobilize the CA Guard without the Governor's permission.
How can Walmart EAT THE TARIFFS when those tariffs are not even on Walmart's plate? Trump has repeatedly told us that tariffs are a tax on other countries so there is nothing for Walmart to eat. Right? /s
I-mpeach. C-onvict. E-xecute. Has a certain ring to it.
Yea, though I meet with the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou will take me;
It's no longer a golden calf. It is now an orange calf.
Don't hold your breath waiting on Congress. State governors swore an oath to the US Constitution. They should call out the NG to remove Trump. Or military officers should rise up to their oath.
It seems lethal force would be reasonable if a person feared for their life.
DOGE now telling non-profits receiving federal grants that they are going to send in teams to monitor activities. Please, dear God, I hope DOGE tells Indian Nations the same. I imagine there would be a few less DOGE agents to deal with.
Today, Anne Lamott writes in WaPo about optimism. Many slam her. Maybe optimism is too strong. Today, who can really EXPECT the best? But we can hope for better. Hope provides the incentive and fuel to work toward better. Pessimism provides neither incentive nor fuel. It only promises a slow death.
The supposedly "unclassified" chat posts via an automatic slideshow.
Greenland shouldn't allow SS to carry guns and refuse to provide protection themselves.
F-ing idiot. The "mistake" was 1 person inviting someone not affiliated to the chat. Multiple administration officials discussing highly sensitive topics and sharing classified info on an unclassified system was NOT a "mistake". That was deliberate and egregious violation of federal law by many.

Are these MFers planning to declare war on Denmark? Taking another nation’s land and people would seem to be war and only Congress can declare war. Oh, I forgot. Putin calls his Ukraine invasion a “special military operation “. I guess Trump will imitate to avoid a need for Congressional approval.
Trump will just think it means more wins for Americans and take satisfaction in the hit to the economy of liberal California.
Wondering if we should amend the term "Executive Power" to "Authoritarian Power".
I completely understand. Tell your friend to search the internet for how to prepare to participate in protests. Best of luck.
Then it’s suck it up time. You’ve already identified that Congress is on Trump’s side. Maybe a few House Republicans would support impeachment which is only a show if the super majority Senate won’t convict. So we protest and wait.
Anything Trump does that is supported by SCOTUS is de facto “legal”. Any legal challenges or protests against “legal” actions are doomed. We would have to live with it until constitutional amendment or a SCOTUS change n then overrule. I wouldn’t bet on either.
Then the people have two options - 1) suck it up n simply protest while waiting for elections or, 2) take up arms.
As an Eagles fan, I call on the team to cancel meeting with Trump. If Trump picks athletes like Conor McGregor as his favorite anything, any respectable athlete should stay away.
