They’re really targeting California as a whole now. The state that supported the union so much over history. Republicans must really feel jealous that it is the richest state.
Apart from the obvious "arresting a senator for asking questions" thing, is whatever's happening on this picture standard procedure for arresting an unarmed, unthreatening person in the US? It looks like they're arresting a terrorist or a dangerous suspect
No normally. I think they throw a knee on the neck for 9 to 10 minutes.
that's their technique for arresting black people
Authorities are claiming they were unable to know who he was at the time, and treated him as a potential threat.
You are going to get to hear that kind of verbiage a lot over the next few years
They were only following orders
happily
He stood up and announced he was a US Senator. The very first thing he did was identify himself. If they're deaf then they shouldn't be on active duty outside a desk job.
So an unelected figurehead of the federal government has come to my state, had a senator I voted for arrested over asking a question which is his civic duty to ask, and has now made threats at removal of my elected govenor as well as an elected mayor of one of the cities here.
At which point would these actions be considered tyrannical enough to provide a decent argument for a use of the 2nd amendment in court?
If you're asking this question; you know the answer... you've just elected to not do anything about it.
The 2nd amendment just says the government can't take away your guns. It doesn't say anything about it being okay for you to use them against the government.
I mean, hell, police kill people all the time, but the courts treat having a gun on your person as a reason the cops had to shoot you. So they can't take away the gun, but they can take away your life for having it.
Basically you can use it as a security blanket to rock yourself to sleep at night, but get anywhere near the gestapo with it and you die a "terrorist."
So when they turn to the camera guy at the end they repeatedly keep saying you're not allowed to record due to FBI rights. That is something I've never heard before.
Unless they are trying to refer to something from the Patriot act the FBI has the same rights as everyone else.
That is because it is made up bullshit that all ~~Nazis~~ law enforcement say to justify suppressing media.
The dumb woman talking said “liberate the city from socialists”. Doesn’t it bother Americans that a person in her position, is so fucking dumb she doesn’t even know what socialism is?
It reminds me of Putin saying they’ll save Ukraine from nazis.
I learned on he xbear that Ukraine is the most fascist place in the world and the leader of the country, who is Jewish, glorifies Nazis. It was very educational, but not in the way they intended.
Why would they be bothered? They don't know either. She might as well said "liverate the city from wokeness" qnd they would shake their fat fistis in agreement
Maybe now that they're getting arrested too, the Dems will actually do something.
Maybe.
Narrator: "They did not."
Chuck Schumer will still not see this as bad since AIPAC didn't tell him it is.
Another strongly worded letter SLAMMING and BLASTING tRump and everyone else responsible
* Finger wagging intensifies *
For those like me who didn’t know what exactly this was about, here’s a video of the incident:
Thank you.
What the actual fuck.
Im really excited for the next election when the Dems force us to vote between Newsom and whatever mentally unstable nazi the republicans find, and we lose every branch again...
Because a sizable part of the population is apparently still too fucking stupid to realize that's still a no-brainer decision to make.
Yeah, our countrymen are dipshits, but let's not undersell how complicit the Dems are by constantly choosing to run candidates that their voting base feels they have to vote for begrudgingly.
And let's not pretend like the decision isn't between unregulated capitalism, and fascism. Yes one is the better choice, but I mean Jesus Christ it's like trying to decide if you want to die by injection in 10 years or being boiled alive today, you die either way.
Hard to win elections when your voting base can't be excited about you. Hence why gop is winning, it's easier for a fascist to appeal to a dipshit than it is for a capitalist to appeal to a voter with the ability to think for themselves.
More like the democratic leaders are too stupid yo try actually appealing to the population. Keep victim blaming though, and licking up whatever scraps the dems throw st you from the table. Like yall shoild literally be rioting to force a change of leadership in the democratic party, and should have done so the second kamala lost. Or even before that when she was just 'chosen' to replace biden.
"liberate this city from the social & burdensome leadership" sure sounds like an attempt to take over a city by a federal employee.
Moff Noem anyone
Since the 2001 Patriot Act, the USA trashed their last gram of freedom.
More of us than them, imagine what we can do together. Give them the boot!
That must be a hell of a dangerous senator. Did he have a gun or is he a cage fighter that you need two fatties to sit on him so one guy can do the job?
Yeah, they're cooked. But then seeing headlines like "Russia might test if NATO article 5 holds" and "USA has Greenland invasion plans" makes me kinda nervous.
Newsom has been aggressively rounding up homeless people for months, and threatening cities who protect them.
Do not go thinking he is one of the good guys.
There's a difference between thinking he's "one of the good guys" and getting glad he's one of the few people in power standing up to trump, or at least threatening to.
People like him certainly should be held accountable for their bullshit. But bringing it up everytime someone is greatful he's standing up to fascists only helps the fascists.
Whoever told you that is your enemy Now something must be done About vengeance, a badge, and a gun 'Cause I'll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system I was born to rage against 'em Now action must be taken We don't need the key, we'll break in
I watched this on a few sources. One had better audio than the others, and you could hear one of the "deputies" muttering quietly to the others that they were being filmed. I wonder how much more escalated and violent this might have been if they hadn't had that realization that they were being recorded.....
It's there a waiting list to become the next Nazi Barbie? Like, you need just the right amount of Botox and lip injections to commit lies with a straight face while a countrymen is being detained?
Also, take your shitty hat off indoors. I know your handlers spent an hour fixing your hair, and you put on a ball cap? Does that make you feel like one of the Boys?
Yes, it is. All those white men had the freedom to push that Mexican guy to the ground and handcuff him. See, that's real freedom, according to the Ten Commandments. It's why we should put the Ten Commandments in every schoolroom, so people know what they say, and how they say DEI is bad. It's right next to the Commandments about how oil belongs to America and the KJV is the only valid translation.
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
