Presumably this will prevent all the illegal immigration that usually happens at NFL championship games.

For this schmuck to so casually threaten murder, while knowing he’s being filmed, the Secret Police must’ve been promised immunity no matter what.

This is why ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS is such a true truism. Cops who try to do the right thing are either fired or have to quit. Only the bastards remain.

I’ve been daydreaming about a quick trip to Minnesota, to blow my whistle and scream at the face-wrapped monsters. Sadly, I can’t afford it (unless someone reading this wants to cover the costs or put me up for a few days?) but soon the same hell will be coming here to Seattle.

Sources tell me this is increasingly ordinary: After a confrontation with ICE watchers, the feds get into their vehicles and spray or toss teargas at the crowd as they drive away.

Excerpt: A protest broke out Saturday at the South Texas family detention complex in Dilley, about 70 miles south of San Antonio, after guards abruptly ordered attorneys to leave while detainees — many of them children — poured into open areas of the facility chanting “Libertad,” or “Freedom,” according to an immigration attorney who witnessed the event.

Is it ‘news’ when the news is this obvious?

I can’t stress enough that this is not a victory, nor even a good sign. There’s a new $50,000 man in Minnesota, but the occupation continues, so the protests must continue.

The federal government now needs a reminder not to destroy the evidence they’ve doubtless already destroyed.

Mr Rogers said, “Always look for the helpers.” Trump’s Secret Police look for the helpers, kill them, and then say the dead helpers were terrorists.

The media and Democrats have let Trump & the Republicans get away with lying, lying, and lying about facts, history, the media, and Democrats for ten years now. Zero repercussions, so now they’re lying about things you can see with your own eyes. And predictably, Republican true believers believe.

Excerpt: Federal agents quickly left the scene after shooting Pretti, leaving it unsecure as protesters swarmed to the area and potentially compromised evidence. State investigators were physically blocked from accessing the crime scene to conduct an independent investigation.

That limited their access to evidence like shell casings, DNA samples and witness interviews. State investigators obtained a warrant, but were still denied access, according to Drew Evans, the head of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

“This is nothing anybody here, or probably anybody in the country, has ever experienced,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty told the Minnesota Star Tribune on Sunday. “Our own federal government not following the law.”

So, possibly it was personal? One of the Secret Police may have recognized Alex Pretti, and targeted him?

Ugh, one of the best things about retirement is no longer seeing empty BS PR like this.

Why is this worthy of an editorial? Is the Tribune such a shitstain newspaper on a regular basis?

Can’t think of anyone in show business who’s been so based, for so damned long. Neil Young was based before the word means what it means. Keep on rockin’ in the free world, man.

This is what passes for leadership from high-level Dems and the Democratic Party — wait in silence, then say something that was utterly obvious a month earlier, but do nothing.

Excerpt: The lawsuit, shared in advance with the Guardian, says that Chad Joseph, 26, and Rishi Samaroo, 41, both of Las Cuevas, Trinidad, were returning to Trinidad from Venezuela when they and four other people were killed in the strike. It was the fifth attack announced by the White House under Donald Trump’s campaign against the small go-fast boats the administration claims are connected to cartels and gangs.

The suit was filed four days after the administration announced the 36th such boat attack on Friday, this one in the eastern Pacific. The death toll of the boat strikes stands around at least 117 people dead so far.

The lawsuit said the strikes were illegal. “These premeditated and intentional killings lack any plausible legal justification,” the lawsuit said. “Thus, they were simply murder, ordered at the highest levels of government and obeyed by military officers in the chain of command.”

Me again: If there are still laws, if judges still look at laws, these were murders.

How many millions or billions spent and how many employees laid off for an oopsie…

I don’t do concerts (too loud, too sweaty) but I love the vibe and feel of The Vera Project. It’s punk, it’s rock’n’roll, it’s DIY, and don’t miss the video at the bottom of the article.
