Representatives “punched” and “body-slammed” the ICE agents, she added.

LMAO. Super soldier democratic elected officials, defeating heavily militarized police units using unarmed combat. I believe it!

As usual, Republicans accuse Democrats of being much cooler than they really are.

Even better when you look at the accused!

Bonnie Watson Coleman - 80 yrs old
Robert Menendez - 39 yrs old
LaMonica Mclver - 38 yrs old

So basically two reps pushing 40, and an 80 year old woman "punched" and "body-slammed" these ICE agents. Menendez is a lawyer, and the two women have no fighting background either yet it sounds like they "handled" these agents with ease according to Noem.

In this Politico article it sounds like nobody had any issues until they started arresting the Newark Mayor.

McLaughlin alleged one of the members had “body slammed” an ICE officer, something that a POLITICO reporter on the scene did not witness. She told CNN there was a video of the incident that ICE would be released “very shortly.”

I love that Bernie meme lol

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

Blatant lies like this need to be considered perjury even when outside the Courtroom.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Isn't it called slander when it's televised? She basically called multiple Democrat politicians felons.

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 10 months ago

You're not a felon until after you're convicted. Until then you're just a sparkling nogoodnik.

(Please pardon if the joke falls flat, I'm in a queer mood.)

[-] Kirp123@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Wasn't one of them like in their 70s? I really wanna know their routine if they can casually body slam ICE goons without crumbling into a mess of broken bones.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Wasn’t one of them like in their 70s?

No. She's 80.

[-] griff@lemmings.world 5 points 10 months ago

Lotta those ICE goons appeared to be Gravy Seals contractors

[-] derry@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

Schrodinger's agent. Both weak enough to be body slammed by politicians and tough enough to handle dangerous "illegals".

And she's just as soulless as well, literally a puppy killer. There really is nothing behind those empty, crazy eyes but malice.

[-] BreadAndThread@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Seriously, she's got serious mental issues. Next time you see a dog being "bad" like barking at you or whatever. Imagine shooting it. Bet there's no way you could. I know I couldn't and if I knew anyone that did, I'd keep a wide berth from them because they ain't right in the head.

[-] SnotFlickerman 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I mean, what's worst is it's an attempt to come off as making "tough" country decisions.

Like, I get it, if you're on a rural farm and your dog is literally attacking people and is dangerous to animals and people, that might be a reason to put it down. However, even in rural areas there are vets who can do it in a humane way. The world of Old Yeller is a world away and there are simply better and more humane solutions. Some animals can be extremely dangerous to those around them, if they've been mistreated while being raised. However, that's just it, it speaks badly to the person who raised them, and in Noem's case, the dog just misbehaved, it wasn't outright dangerous. So she just comes off as a complete psychopath looking for a reason to kill a dog, not a simple country farmer doing something they didn't necessarily want to do but felt the need to do to keep their livestock and family safe from a dangerous dog.

This wasn't written for us though, my right wing fil used to brag about doing this shit for 3 reasons

It makes them seem like country bumpkins, there is some weird contest in the south where people try to compete for who is the most "country"
They brag about how much money they saved not going to that lefty vet that's just trying to pilfer their pockets
It reminds them of the way their parents/grandparents used to handle stuff when there weren't better options available.

So she brags about this to seem more "authentic" country to magats, and they eat it up.

[-] BreadAndThread@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yep. It ain't right, nor was it ever.

[-] JakoJakoJako13@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

ICE Barbie, DOJ Barbie, and Dumb Communication Barbie is the worst lineup of Barbies ever. Then to top it all off Hegseth is Ken.

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

I prefer Canine Murderer Barbie, myself. Maybe Gravel Pit Executioner Barbie.

[-] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

I've just been calling her Cruella.

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

As another poster said, Puppy Killer Barbie. I think that has a little more emotional punch.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 10 months ago

She puts on makeup with a putty knife

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

And the nation stands idly by as these fascists take more and more ground.

[-] entwine413@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

Be the change you want to see in the world

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Oh oh. Be careful she doesn't send you to El Salvador or worse yet, the gravel pit.
