  3. ( I wonder how many emojis Nic will give me tomorrow. )
  4. "Top federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned after the Department of Justice pushed to investigate the widow of Renee Good and rebuffed an investigation into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot her last week." They were told that they will not be investigating the shooter, which is established standard practice in shootings involving Federal agents, but rather how Renee Good snd her wife were the "instigators" of the incident. This apparently brings the number of lawyers who have left the DoJ by various means in the last year to 10 thousand.
  5. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ice-busted-handing-job-offer-to-anti-trump-journalist-without-vetting/ "The Department of Homeland Security’s claim that it did not give a job with ICE to a reporter without proper vetting was contradicted by the agency’s own portal. Afghan veteran-turned-reporter Laura Jedeed detailed in Slate this week how she tested Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s mass hiring campaign by submitting an application—and getting quickly pushed through the hiring process. Immediately after the story was published, DHS rebuked Jedeed’s claim, arguing that she was “NEVER” offered a job with the agency. But screenshots and videos shared by Jedeed from the agency’s job portal contradict the agency’s claims and bolster other reports that ICE’s hiring methods lack oversight. "
  6. According to a former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff who held the position during Trump's first term, Donnie had been desperate to invoke the Insurrection Act during that first term, and at one point in 2019 he and other administration staff had to intervene to stop Trump at the last minute editing a televised speech in which he wanted to do so. This chap reckons the IA has been on the agenda since day #1 of the second term and Trump and Stephen Miller are actively working to enable it.
  7. From CBS via the BBC; "A couple says their six-month-old baby stopped breathing after ICE agents tear gassed them and their six children in their car, they told CBS News, the BBC's US partner. Shawn and Destiny Jackson were driving with their children - an 11-year-old, a seven-year-old, four-year-old twins, a two-year-old and a six-month-old baby boy - when they got trapped between ICE agents and protesters. "They stopped at my car, and they proceeded to yell in and said 'get out of here'. Well, they used profanity. And my husband screamed and said 'we're trying'," Destiny Jackson told CBS. Jackson told CBS that she was concerned about pulling her car away while the ICE agents were nearby because of what happened with Renee Good. Agents then placed a tear gas canister under the car, which had its windows open, she told CBS. "Within seconds, there was a big boom and our car was up in the air and we slammed down and all of our airbags deployed and all of our doors locked. And tear gas just started forming, a ball of gas just started forming around the car," Jackson said. By the time she was able to grab her six-month-old baby and give him CPR, he was foaming at the mouth and appeared lifeless. "I couldn't even breathe myself, and all I remember is between every breath, I was saying, 'I'm going to give you every breath I have until you get yours back.'" The Jacksons told CBS that all their children have physically recovered from the incident, but are having trouble sleeping after the trauma. "
  8. Jimmy Kimmel outlines Trump's strategy; 1) Send ICE into Democrat run cities 2) Label people opposed to this as ANTIFA and Insurrectionists 3) Invoke the Insurrection Act and mobilise the Army for domestic deployment 4) Cancel the mid-term elections, ( which apparently are not needed as his Administration is doing such a GREAT JOB ! ).
  9. Senator Ted Cruz in 2016: "Nobody wants somebody like that with their finger on the button. It's possible that if Donald was President we might wake up one morning and find he had nuked Denmark".
  10. Is that the same AI used by West Midlands Police ?

    Russia

    But in this instance the British, French, and US are supplying the other side. Also, I think Putin's army is more like the 1941 model Red Army rather than the 1945 version. Mind you, Putin does seem to have hit on a novel solution to the problem of prison overcrowding.
  12. Could somebody please explain what exactly a "Marxist Fascist" is. Is it the extremist wing of the "Tribune Group ERG" ?
  13. TdF 2027 stage 2 goes through my "playground" in the Trough of Bowland. 🙂
  14. "Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." In your perfect World, who gets to choose who is allowed to vote, and what they are allowed to vote for ?
  15. It makes me wonder just what it is they are hoping to "reform". It's more like "regurgitated".
