I think it's the prelude to something far worse than the 'drug wars' that started in the 60's. 4547 is going to use that war with Venezuela to divert attention away from the new 'Holocaust' that will be unleashed upon people that don't follow his ideals.
4547 is doing the 'double tapping' out in international waters first before bringing it back their own shores. ICE and all the other armed services as well as other letter agencies will be leading the charge against those 'dear leader' deems a risk to his iron fisted rule. This is how it plays out in many an autocrat's book in silencing dissent and those trying to flee the country.
Officers wonder why they're getting called pigs these days along with their oversight boards by the citizens they're 'supposed' to protect. The action and inaction of the oversight boards says it all.
I wouldn't underestimate what ICE can get away with now thanks to 'Dear Leader's' 6 Supreme Court Injustices on the bench. They won't need a team of lawyers (competent or fly by night) as they're tacitly given the green light to continue what they're doing. It's not a mistake that I call those six 'judges' on the bench 'Injustices' as what they've been doing is an injustice and malpractice to the court and rule of law.
Misuse of the mask, you lose access to both it and the privileges it entails. Can't hide your wrongdoing behind the anonymity it grants you, people will have a name and a face to hold you accountable for said wrongdoing.
Sadly, I wouldn't trust the current Supreme Court as 6 of the Injustices currently see Vullo and Murthy rulings as an inconvenience to 'Dear Leader' 4547. They would happily rule that silencing intermediaries broadcasting criticism of said leaders administration is the price to pay for doing business in this country. Yes I misnamed 6 of the judges on said court and the current administration, and yes it's intentionally done so, no I do not regret doing so.
What little defense the Mouse House gave today isn't enough to absolve them in the court of both public and shareholder opinion. Not enough to convince me otherwise.
Think the angry parents left the state with their kids in tow if they're able to. The rest of the parents were unwilling to be informed of who the current superintendent is and how they'll affect their children's education, or are informed but don't give a toss.
Sadly, Oklahoma as a whole is too far gone. The little pockets of good that do pop up end up getting snuffed out by Rethuglicans far too quickly.
All this is going to do is drive more people to the seven seas. People are slowly waking up to enshittification of products that they're using (cable and streaming services in this case) on a daily basis and don't want to pay more money for a crappier product.
Gave the Mouse House and Hulu the boot, another addition to the list of complicit companies and platforms.
ETTD: a fitting punishment for media companies and outlets that are complicit and bend the knee to 4547. Silver lining is they're helping me to save money by not doing business with them. It also gives a valid reason to sail the seven seas once again in this day and age.
That's one way to shine a light on local police officers that want to partake in what ICE has been doing, using the masks grants them anonymity and depriving them of it holds them accountable in some small fashion.
Add another legacy media outlet to the list of those that are complying with the chode in chief. History will not look kindly upon those who are complicit.
Another day, another platform gets turned into a Nazi bar. Never thought I'd have to say it but I honestly hope it gets hit with a DDoS attack, the only way to be sure in this dire times we live in.
RFK Jr. leading the CDC is like having a fox in the hen house, adding more foxes into said hen house with similar views as his is just political and medical malpractice. Given that he was also appointed by 4547 I'd have to say the chode in chief is the biggest one to blame alongside 77 million others that thought to give him a second chance on November 4th 2024.
I'm struggling having sympathy for a monster like Charlie Kirk, they spread many falsehoods and lies over the years. However, that doesn't mean I approve of how the monster was removed from the board as we're living in rather 'politically charged' times. All it takes is a series of sparks from any political party to set the powder kegs off.
Every accusation that 4547's administration makes is another confession of its own wrongdoing, all wrapped up in the battered flag of the US and paid for by the taxpayers.
Activists wouldn't have to play the 'Cat and Mouse' game against ICE if their state's legislators (particularly Red State ones) did their job in prohibiting ICE agents/officers from wearing masks/balaclava's. Alas, they are brought to that point as those legislators (particularly Red State ones) would rather give a tacit approval for what ICE is doing through either inaction or through additional funding for additional ICE agents/officers.
Smart money tells me Congress didn't say a thing, not even a passing remark as they've abdicated that responsibility to the grifter in chief.
