All of this reminds me a lot of one of the events from the animated series Avatar: the Last Airbender, where the one villain Azula grows increasingly paranoid and insane, resulting in her constantly dismissing all of her people for not being loyal enough and thus leaving here alone when the good guys show up.
... Not that there's a lot of other parallels between the Fire Nation in that show and the current United States government, but there you go.
I'm sure we're going to see a flood of morons invade these comments, like the last article about this whole debacle, saying 'BUTS GOOD'S TOTES RAMMED GUY!'
Since I don't make a point to reply to people who just leave comments before running off to likely crank out more disgusting CSAM garbage on ExTwitter, I'll just say this:
Post your proof, candy-asses. But you won't, because there isn't any that's not obvious AI slop. So maybe just don't bother.
Regarding the difference between Hernandez and Maduro: as noted, Hernandez was convicted in federal court after a very long trial. Maduro and his wief, on the other hand, was basically just indicted by a grand jury. And you know what they say about grand juries and certain simple meals consisting of cured pork.
The sad part is, there was an episode of the animated show 'American Dad!' that reminds me a lot of this. Specifically there was an episode (Paranoid Frandroid) that involved a plot by the CIA where people were secretly recorded on the toilet in gastrointestinal distress, with the idea of using it as blackmail material.
This, of course, reminds me of that except arguably dumber. Somehow.
(Also, how does it do 'wellness checks' through 'optical scanning'? I'm in no way a doctor, but I'm pretty sure it takes MORE THAN LOOKING at... well, literal shit.)
Regarding the headline: shouldn't it be Kansas, rather than Nebraska? I remember this coming up before, of course, but I was surprised to see it showing 'Nebraska'. Not that, as I'm sure a lot of people would joke there's a lot of difference... and being from Nebraska, it's somewhat true, but there you go.
'Four or five' shootings, eh? Really? Where? And are we counting the one out of Dallas where literally no ICE agents were shot, but a bunch of detainees were killed?
Or was this only reported in the Racist Moron Quarterly?
When this is all over, and hopefully when there's a proper reckoning of all these militia assholes doing this horrible stuff, I'm almost hoping there's at least one supposedly 'badass soldier' that breaks down on the stand and says how sorry they all ore, with tears running down their face.
... And then we can all collectively come together to tell them to go fuck themselves and lock them away forever.
And another thing to mention whenever we get one of these idiot 'free-speech advocates', after this is over, potentially blithering about their beliefs: 'Oh, so you spoke up about this? No? Then sit your ass down and shut the fuck up.'
It's adorable that Cassidy wants to go around and bleat about how 'concerned' he is about Kennedy's actions... though, for the record, we still have Susan Collins' useless ass too, so that job's arguably filled.
Still doesn't change the fact that you still Jar-Jar-ed him into office, you asshole. Either do something and make an iota of effort towards redeeming yourself, or fuck off.
It's truly amazing that the world of unchecked corporate power that Upton Sinclair talked about in his seminal novel 'The Jungle' has once again come around yet again. If only there was something about history repeating itself or something.
That's something I've idly wondered, even though I'm not normally one to speculate on matters like this with little evidence. In this case, though, if the shooter's goal was, in fact, to take out 'ICE agents', then they either are an incredibly terrible shot... or that wasn't their goal at all.
And miss me with this 'Anti-ICE' nonsense; we already went through this with Robinson and Kirk's assassination, and we know how that turned out.
So, yeah, I'd say on one hand that it's nice Senator Cassidy is railing against Kennedy like this for all the unmitigated and horrifically dangerous decisions he's making.
But hey, you know what would've been even better? Not being the deciding vote in the first place, jackass.
Rail all you like, Cassidy; what's happening, and the resulting blood, is still on you. So you're free to go fuck yourself, champ.
It's kind of sad, since I still remember years and years ago, shortly after Netflix started the streaming side of its service, there were news reports about piracy going down, since what Netflix offered was arguably so much more convenient.
But, then of course, everyone had to start their own streaming service, gatekeep their stuff behind it, and then Netflix got greedy and enshittified, and here we are.
Golly, it's almost as if if they didn't want a bunch of people calling in complaining about this, they SHOULDN'T HAVE PUSHED STEAM AND ITCH AROUND.
Which reminds me; I need to call in myself, and their 'auto-response' can bite me.
In that case, please let us know any specific examples of said 'plainclothes ICE agents' arresting these so-called gang-bangers, since everything reported so far has been completely innocent citizens, like Rumeysa Ozturk.
Or, maybe, you can shut your Nazi-dick-sucking mouth.
Yes, and WotC, a company already known for especially terrible decisions regarding 'IP protection', rescinding the DMCA request totally goes back in time and stops it from happening in the first place. And as Geigner also said, I'm sure 'now that this is all going public' didn't affect things either.
Yeah, I was personally thinking going down to the comments, 'So, wonder how many comments down it'll take for someone to bleat out "ELON DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!"'. And here we are. Especially sad when you consider the original concept was pretty pathetic from the beginning.
I can't help but wonder: if they had 52 total devices they seized from the defendant, what could possibly be on the phone and tablet that would further add to what they already had? This more feels like the usual nonsense of police going completely insane because they know they can get away with it.
All of this...

You got proof that's what happened? Or just want to post and run off like the little coward you are?
And of course...

Another Point of Interest
Regarding the difference between Hernandez and Maduro: as noted, Hernandez was convicted in federal court after a very long trial. Maduro and his wief, on the other hand, was basically just indicted by a grand jury. And you know what they say about grand juries and certain simple meals consisting of cured pork.
Ugh.

Possible Typo?
Regarding the headline: shouldn't it be Kansas, rather than Nebraska? I remember this coming up before, of course, but I was surprised to see it showing 'Nebraska'. Not that, as I'm sure a lot of people would joke there's a lot of difference... and being from Nebraska, it's somewhat true, but there you go.
... Really
'Four or five' shootings, eh? Really? Where? And are we counting the one out of Dallas where literally no ICE agents were shot, but a bunch of detainees were killed? Or was this only reported in the Racist Moron Quarterly?
Come now...
Call me a sadist, but...

Yet Another Example
And another thing to mention whenever we get one of these idiot 'free-speech advocates', after this is over, potentially blithering about their beliefs: 'Oh, so you spoke up about this? No? Then sit your ass down and shut the fuck up.'
As I mentioned...
It's adorable that Cassidy wants to go around and bleat about how 'concerned' he is about Kennedy's actions... though, for the record, we still have Susan Collins' useless ass too, so that job's arguably filled. Still doesn't change the fact that you still Jar-Jar-ed him into office, you asshole. Either do something and make an iota of effort towards redeeming yourself, or fuck off.
Huzzah
It's truly amazing that the world of unchecked corporate power that Upton Sinclair talked about in his seminal novel 'The Jungle' has once again come around yet again. If only there was something about history repeating itself or something.
Interesting point
That's something I've idly wondered, even though I'm not normally one to speculate on matters like this with little evidence. In this case, though, if the shooter's goal was, in fact, to take out 'ICE agents', then they either are an incredibly terrible shot... or that wasn't their goal at all. And miss me with this 'Anti-ICE' nonsense; we already went through this with Robinson and Kirk's assassination, and we know how that turned out.
Awww
So, yeah, I'd say on one hand that it's nice Senator Cassidy is railing against Kennedy like this for all the unmitigated and horrifically dangerous decisions he's making. But hey, you know what would've been even better? Not being the deciding vote in the first place, jackass. Rail all you like, Cassidy; what's happening, and the resulting blood, is still on you. So you're free to go fuck yourself, champ.
Timely Reminder

Good for them.
