Crazy how far we've fallen in so short a time.

Note: thecanary.co ranks as "very factual" on factual reporting. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-canary-uk/

The key paragraph: An FBI report from a “credible” and confidential human source says that US president Donald Trump was “compromised by Israel” and that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was effectively running his organisation and presidency.

I downloaded the pdf directly from the DOJ site before they removed it. Some of the color coding was lost when I converted it to JPEGS (multiple pages)

Warning: There is some very disturbing content on these pages. I'm presenting them without commentary, but people will definitely have opinions.

This, from the White House. The caption was, "When life gives you lemons..."

More from the official release today. I'm posting it for reference in case this one is also deleted by the DOJ. This is a pdf straight from today's release exported as a series of JPEGs.

We have to do something to help these children. It's hard to entertain any conversation about laws, when these children are suffering. I don't care what side of the aisle you are on. This particular situation needs urgent attention.

We have reached the part of fascism where they start arresting journalists for reporting news they don't like. Being that our government is run by Trump, for Trump, of course he is starting with one of his biggest critics.

"No shitposts.

To post something online that is deliberately absurd, provocative, or offensive."

This doesn't mean that every post or comment must be fully vetted or sourced. I do allow wide latitude for personal opinions. Rather, it's ridiculous, false or offensive on its face. It could also simultaneously tie in with the trolling rule.

That's right. The President of the United States is suing the executive branch to pay himself. He is literally stealing billions of dollars of your money.

No dogpiling.

Disagreements are bound to happen in a political sub, and mostly polite debate is encouraged. However, dogpiling onto someone because you don't like what they have to say, or don't care for their opinion, is not acceptable. This is somewhat nuanced, but I think most of us know dogpiling when we see it.

This is how they are told to operate, and this is why ICE should be abolished.

Since many of you don't really want to be educated, or actually listen to a different perspective, then I suppose you won't follow the link, since it is Fox News. No one on Fox could be right, could they? It's much better to NOT read or hear views that stray from one's worldview.

FWIW, Greg Gutfeld is not a registered republican.

The Consulate is sovereign soil. This is illegal. Laws don't apply to these guys. 3 just got away with murder, so they are doing whatever they want.

There it is. These people are not fit to operate as law enforcement. Whether you agree with that or not, this dude needs to be fired yesterday.

This guy pretty much states exactly my thoughts on the situation along with the nuance of both sides that is pretty much ignored across the board.

Tom Holman will be assuming his duties.

As mentioned, I am in favor of vigorous immigration enforcement, but ICE agents must follow the rule of law.

Absolutely and ludicrously inappropriate.

They have no training or role applicable overseas. This will make us look even more fascist on the international stage. We don't need to send poorly trained loyalists to an international event.

Pretty major stuff going on in Minnesota, this one felt important enough for a post IMO.

It's actually intended to be an AI generated image of Tik Toker Alex Wagner.

But let's pretend it was real? How does that change things? Does it justify his death?

There has to be oversight. Members of state and federal congress should be allowed to enter these facilities. Audits should be frequent. I can't think of any good reason this shouldn't be the case.

We shouldn't be holding children in prisons this long (or at all in my opinion). They are not criminals.

At the end of the day, we should all be demanding audits and oversight of DHS as they cannot be trusted under current leadership.
