The American Gestapo clearly announcing their intention of being the American Gestapo.

As with virtually everything in this ongoing fascist coup, the anti-democracy forces are brazenly stating their intent, and it's just a matter of believing them.

And...

"Victor, I think that we should let viewers know there will likely be more arrests coming," McLaughlin claimed. " We actually have body camera footage of some of these members of Congress assaulting our ICE enforcement officers, including body slamming a female ICE officer. So we will be showing that to viewers very shortly."

A member of Congress body slamming someone?

That'll be a deepfake, which I cynically expected sooner or later, but tried not to think about, since that means that things are about to take a really ugly turn.

At this rate, the fascists are going to be digging mass graves before the year is out

There were a LOT of phones out recording during the scuffle.

I mean, if these poor little ICE agents can be felled by the bodyslamming skills of [checks article] a congressperson, I'll tear through them like a hurricane!

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I want to know who, how, and when this bodyslam occurs. I see no bodyslam in any video I can find.

[–] klu9@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Unless Jesse Ventura came out of retirement and won a seat in Congress without me knowing it, it's all just MAGA kayfabe.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

And now it's in my head...

Here I am!
Bodyslamming Hurricane!!!

[–] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 months ago

Mm... then this is likely just a bluff this time around - something to scare the politicians and for the base to file away so they're even more inclined to support the coming mass arrests.

Ironically, in 2017 there was a congressman that body slammed a reporter. It was the GOP representative Greg Gianforte.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Current Montana governor Greg Gianforte

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

it's nice to see there are consequences

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If a Democrat body slammed one of those fascists I’ll eat my hat and promptly apologize for saying they are weak. I don’t believe it.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Democrats are never as cool as Republicans say they are.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I kind of doubt it's a deepfake. I suspect it is just bullshit made up. They might, potentially, be wildly misrepresenting something that wasn't that, but they also might be living in their new fact-free world where you just say crazy shit all the time.

(Flashback to the time the cops charged Tiny, the Hell's Angel, with all sorts of felonies for breaking a cop's leg, and then it turned out there was video of one cop running up and hitting Tiny in the head with a baton and him falling down coincidentally onto the second cop's leg and breaking it. Tiny was a big dude.)

If that was legitimate video it would have been released yesterday.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 6 points 2 months ago

The way this typically works is that a cop will attack someone, knowing that the bodycam doesn't show anything up close except shaky footage while exclaiming 'stop attacking me' or something similar. It looks bad for the victim and juries fall for it. Let's hope there's footage from a wider angle.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

NO.

You ARM UP and dig THEIR graves.

These are NAZIS. There is only ONE WAY to deal with NAZIS.

"Who has the video?" Blackwell asked. "ICE does and we will be releasing that shortly," she replied before later adding, "We're not playing."

As soon as it's sufficiently deepfaked.

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

We both know if they had that video it would have been released immediately.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

and we will be releasing that shortly,"

Is that like Trump saying he will have an answer for something "next week"?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 1 month ago

Or two weeks

"Protest in person scheduled for June 5th! Remember to protest peacefully and within the free speech zones! #50501"

[–] Seaguy05@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

Surprise, it's just a photoshoped picture that Trump believes to be real.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

NAZIS.

They are NAZIS

There is only ONE WAY to deal with NAZIS.

ARM UP.

How does this fit the community?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

Congressional complacency, Democrats voting to confirm Trump bootlickers. A bit of stretch but I personally will allow it.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 2 months ago

Probably because all of us were overconfident in our exceptional ism.
