Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Insincere threats from a party only pretending to be angry.
Good job, House Democrats! You fully funded ICE, and ICE shows their gratitude by viciously beating an innocent American citizen, and then executing him with a firing squad, firing 10 shots in 5 seconds.
That's what you voted for, Democrats.
MAGA has the majority in both the House and Senate. They can pass legislation with their votes alone. Every single Democrat should vote NO on every MAGA legislation, policy, appointment, etc. ANY Democrat who votes with MAGA even a single time should get no support from the DNC, and be vigorously primaried. This is WAR, and they have to take a side.
These MFs right here need to have their phones, emails, and mail boxes full. And they damn well better know if they cave on this, they're getting voted out.
Angus King (I-ME)
Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV)
John Fetterman (D-PA)
Maggie Hassan (D-NH)
Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)
Good job, Turncoats! You fed them money, and they thanked you by murdering an American citizen.
Every one of these MAGAs should be completely ignored by the DNC, and vigorously primaried. If they manage to get reelected, they get fully sidelined, no committees, no appearances on talk shows, no TV sound bites, nothing. They will be invisible, except for their votes, which better be NO on all MAGA legislation and appointments.
Idk about the others but old Angus just won reelection so he has like five years left in his term, and by then he'll be around 107 years old so I don't think he really gives af
His kid is trying to run for governor though so call him up and ask if being a coward runs in the family
All talk no DO.
These articles...
fatally shot
The word they're looking for is 'murdered '.
Nah.
The correct verbiage is "summarily executed".
Executions require crimes, this was just murder.
Err... That's why we refer to it as an execution. They were federal agents.
He was judged, sentenced for resisting ICE. That's execution when the state does it, regardless if there was a crime or not.
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) said in a statement to Axios: "This tragic event requires a thorough and independent investigation with full transparency."
However this fuckin shithead is feeling today it isn't nearly badly enough
Isn’t that the guy Trump pardoned? He doesn’t give a shit.
"Yeah, uh, can you guys whip up a PR statement for me? Oh, and make me sound bereaved. The voters love that."
Oohh, they're furious?
Again?
Yawn
"We're only allowed to give stern warnings by our billionaire donors, but if 100 more of you get shot and die maybe we'll escalate it to an impotent fiery speech".
Damn, living in an oligarchy sucks.
Remember how Democrats responded to Columbia students protesting Palestine injustice?
But I guess this latest killing by ICE requires more introspection and soul searching.
Is that R2D2 in the window?
They needed him up front to unlock it
The democrats are also owned by Israel. Our government is occupied by Israel as soon as the Epstein files drop their leverage is gone. The corrupt politicians and Israel would rather burn our country to the ground than lose their grip on power
The democrats are also owned by Israel.
Biden was the beating heart of the pro-Israeli Senate caucus. His elevation to President enabled the Holocaust in Gaza.
Liberals don't want to deal with that, because all they care about is Beating Trump. They'll tolerate any amount of fascism, just so long as their team is in charge
as soon as the Epstein files drop their leverage is gone
That's pure cope
Joe "if Israel didn't existed we will had to created" Biden
This. This is why the full unredacted release is so important, so we can force out all the corrupt sacks of shit the Israelis have kompromat on. It isn’t about ruining Trump, he can do no wrong in his cult’s eyes. It’s about the large percentage of other corrupt traitors in government who have go to go so we have a chance to survive.
There will be a stern letter and a few signs help up. ‘ICE Kills’
That scene hit so hard when I first saw it and it's only gotten worse since then.
Holy shit haven’t seen an Archie comic in a while.
The bill [funding DHS without constraining ICE or CBP] passed the House but needs support from at least seven Senate Democrats, who are now under more pressure than ever to block it.
Not saying they will, but the Dems totally could do something about this right now. Call and/or email your senator.
call or email…
Good advice for US citizens. Call or email your Senators.
I've emailed Brian Schatz (who is usually considered kind of weakly progressive but folded during the earlier shutdown) twice before the shooting and requested a response. I've received nothing back and I'm really fucking worried he's going to fold again.
You'd think funding the gestapo right after a public murder would be a toxic vote, but these motherfuckers always seem to weasel their way into doing absolutely nothing.
And just after they authorized more taxpayer money for the Nazis. Boy they must be just the most slightly bit embarrassed.
It’s almost like controlled opposition.
Maybe another YouTube sound bite where you try to make a MAGAt “feel ashamed?” That’ll get us there!
It is controlled opposition. I think they’ve been threatened and they’re frightened, personally.
I think they’re all rich and have more to lose from a mass uprising than they do ICE.
That’s another distinct possibility, yes
It's almost like controlled opposition.
That's Russia talk! I won't hear another word.
They won't do shit. They won't risk the paycheck. They won't stand in session and shame these cock suckers for the absolute scum they are. They won't sit in or walk out. They won't stand on their soapbox screaming about justice until their throats bleed. They won't give back the money their problematic donors have given. They won't stand arm in arm with the people being murdered in the street.
They will hem and haw and say everything you want to hear but they will still be complicit. It’s a living, not a calling. At the end of the day, political office is a paycheck, and they really dont give a shit about you.
We are so fucked, it's silly, clown fucking egregious. Good luck out there, God bless, and watch your top knot.
Good thing you just agreed to give them more fucking money you equally traitorous fucks.
All the national guard will do is officially begin the civil war.
Cool.
We never shoulda bailed out the fucking banks.
Every American should be calling their congressional reps regarding the ICE funding.
One sec, I'm on hold with Dan Crenshaw's office
You dem dipshits should have thought of that before voting to fund ICE to the tune of billions last week. Controlled opposition my ass, they are simply enablers and should face justice along with the gestapo murder squads.
It still has to pass the Senate as far as I know. I find it unlikely that it won't, but maybe if folks pressure the senators enough they can at least delay it. Either way, folks should pressure the shit heel senators.
Modern Democrat congress critters always chicken out. Prove me wrong.
They don’t chicken out they perform political theater to appease the Israeli lobby and the oligarchs most are bought and paid for. The few good ones have their wings clipped https://www.trackaipac.com/congress
