FEDIT POLITICS Thread

if you lose faith you have nothing
at least it feels that way to me
as the poison licks at my toes and things become meaningless
heard this tonight
if you know a better Stones song let me know

 

Anyone who feels sympathy for these protesters AS THEY ARE BEHAVING is living a lie.

Simply, if you put yourself in front of an armed federal agent, you invite violence & death upon yourself & others.

Want to make a difference - go to your local representative's office. Protest them, or email them, or snail mail them. Or voice your support for them, or even an ICE agent.

Comply or pay the price. This isn't dictatorial - this is what OVER half the voters wanted in Nov 2024. Once that is fully addressed, look for another box to check.

Fact is - getting illegals the fuck out of here 100% hurts the democrats chances to win elections. That's why these Maoists pretend to GAF about illegals. Otherwise, nary a one of them puts one up in their own home & donates dime-one to vett & assist migrants to enter this country legally.

borrowed this from another blog but couldn't agree more

"Watching this idiocy unfold reminded me of a documentary on the NVA soldiers during the Vietnam war. One guy was being interviewed. He was talking about the incredible commitment and fealty these kids had to their master, the old man in Hanoi who loved to send young kids to die, and his ideology. One story was them hauling cannons up a steep, muddy hill in the rain. One slipped and began to slide downhill, so some kids threw themselves under the wheels, sacrificing their lives for the Socialist cause. These kinds of things were common. It also reminded me of books I've read of the Cambodian auto-genocide, and Pol Pot convincing all the young people to join the revolution. They were so blindly indoctrinated that they were happy to sacrifice parents and relatives to Angka. These kids were the very definition of arrogant incompetence.

I look at these peaceful protestors in MN and I see this exact thing. Indoctrinated people sacrificing their very lives for illegal alien criminal scum. This is insanity, and it's driven by the same ideologues who drove the Cambodians and the Viets. The same ideology that is happy to sacrifice anyone and anything for "The Revolution." These people cannot be talked to because they will not listen. You cannot teach them because they refuse to learn.

Throw yourself under a cannon wheel, or mix it up with armed and tense police. What's the difference? It's all for The Party/Cause/Angka/The October Revolution/Whatever. To me this is frightening. I don't understand this kind of blind loyalty to any man or to any political cause."

 

astute observation
absolutely that's true and maybe that's exactly what will come out of it when the bodycams come out (apparently there's 3)
the hard truth however is only one person could have changed that outcome and his name is Alex
how we got to the point that we're seeing people w guns or without fighting LE to protect criminal aliens is my question
the ruling class wants this
they encourage it
maybe the best thing i've read so far

This Is What They Wanted

Few stories will whip up more hyperpartisan fury than the killing of Alex Pretti. Reactions have been so factional that supposedly pro-Second Amendment conservatives are suddenly saying that practicing concealed carry is some sort of crime. That’s almost as crazy as exploiting Charlie Kirk’s assassination to push hate speech laws.

Was the 37-year-old ICU nurse really a threat to Minnesota’s immigration agents? Do Americans who film ICE belong on government lists? Should the Trump administration eliminate the agency’s presence in the state? Unfortunately, most people’s answers solely depend on their preferred party. Republicans back the deportation forces and Democrats side with Pretti, even if doing so means abandoning the principles they purportedly hold near and dear. They mold their views based on tribalism, not values.

Naturally, this leads to lots of fighting. Intense fighting. And neither side shows an appetite for compromise. It’s classic Right vs. Left; the kind of debate that’s usually reserved for election season, when Americans feel particularly loyal to their clans.

The past six months have not seen many similar disputes. Rather than consisting of average citizens ripping each other’s hair out over partisanship, more of our national conversation has revolved around the real enemy: the ruling class. That is a good thing. Donors and special interests, not Pretti, ICE agents, or Renee Good, are the ones robbing our country of the American Dream. They bear responsibility for the affordability crisis, decades of needless foreign wars, and the Uniparty’s implementation of open borders. The more focus they receive, the better our odds of freeing ourselves from their rule.

A story like the Minnesota shooting is exactly what the people in charge wanted. Washington’s broken system is receiving more attention than at any other time this century, and the dam that protects it is on the verge of collapse. The corrupt establishment’s best chance at survival is if Americans stop directing their rage at them and instead turn on each other, just like they’re doing in the wake of Pretti’s death. Then, as the masses squabble amongst themselves, the powerful will sneak by and continue their reign. Corporate and foreign lobbies will remain thriving, and the government’s shafting of the public will continue.

This does not mean what took place in Minneapolis deserves a blind eye. It was a terrible story, and it never should have happened. That said, Americans must remember who the real enemy is. Even if Average Joe and Average Dave vehemently disagree about ICE, they are both victims of Washington’s obsession with ignoring the people and serving the powerful.

Should we have debates about Saturday’s shooting? Absolutely, and leaders should strive to ensure nothing similar happens again. But as those conversations take place, the public must remember that its members are not the villains. Want to create change? That’s great. We do too. Just don’t view your fellow American as the obstacle. Always look up.

 

Listening to Larry Elder's show...he said reports are that DT isn't happy with the way Noem and the border patrol commander have characterized the shooting. Specifically, DT didn't like that Noem referred to the nurse that was shot as a domestic terrorist.

He is sending Tom Homan to Minnesota to cool the temperature.

Fair enough but good luck trying to reason with these people.

 

Spray gunfire indiscrimately into these anti-ICE demonstrators. They're 99% honky anyway. I DGAF.

Am I kidding? No.
