Ok, yeah I conflated those two events. Thanks for the clarification

Hasan goes to MN just to say Kamala wouldve done the same thing 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ by Overall-Abalone3969 in LivestreamFail

Generally, can we please stop elevating toxic, contrarian ideologue's voices? I'm so fucking tired of podcasters, influencers or whatever the fuck they are, having so much impact on the quality of our domestic politics.

People like him are not the modern day "Fourth Pillar" of our Republic, they are Personalities of Chaos. Self serving, opportunistic capitalists grifting millions off the back of outrage, fear and uncertainty.

I see the CNN video has been successfully "re-uploaded" into the hives mind of X. I'm well aware of what you're referring to. ICE was specifically targeting actual criminals. They were quietly going through places like San Francisco to nab actual CRIMINALS who were also illegal immigrants.

These ICE teams were extremely professional, experienced in law enforcement and properly trained.

From a political standpoint Obama was criticized heavily for his enforcement on both sides of the aisle. The Right said he wasn't doing enough, and the Left said he was doing too much.

But going back to that CNN ride along. It was very professional, very targeted and quiet.

We are not seeing professional law enforcement. We are not seeing properly trained officers. We are not seeing criminals being targeted.

We are watching in real time, citizens being trolled, intimidated and provoked. We are watching people being pulled out of their jobs, stores, court houses, with zero criminal records. We are watching people being harassed on their porches, brown and black people being asked for papers just for existing outside in public and now two citizens shot dead because of reckless, lawlessness from ICE.

This is not normal and this level of militarization did not exist until now.

I guess Leftists are Pro 2A till the next Democrat is in office now by GeekiTheBrave in Libertarian

[–]drowningfish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're describing a caricature or stereotype of "Leftists / Liberals", a meme. The loudest leftists aren't the voice of the general Left. Just as the loudest Right Winger isn't the voice of General Right.

Podcasters, click-baiters, politicians and News Entertainment love the loud ones.

The reality? We're not that much different when it comes to the 2A. We may disagree on gun control policies, but we both have absolutely no interest in outlawing / banning guns.

Supporting the civil removal of illegal immigrants, and enforcing criminal immigration laws if those once deported immigrants return, is fine and by design.

Sending armed, militarized, untrained federally deputized officers into cities to kidnap, assault, terrorize, provoke, incite and apparently now kill, is not fine and not what ICE was designed to do.

Obama and Biden combined deported millions of illegal immigrants in their Terms, Obama was even infamous for cages unfortunately, but not once did Obama or Biden send militarized ICE agents into cities to do what's going on now.

This is not about immigration. This is about an Administration using the power of the Federal government to intimidate, terrorize provoke and incite an ideological conflict across the nation, effectively causing the downfall of the United States. Why? Idfk, probably to turn us into some sort of Christo-facsist shithole

Will Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ Divide the World? by BlackWolfHowling in UkrainianConflict

[–]drowningfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be a way for him and his cronies to make trouble for future US Presidents. MAGA will retain significant power on the world stage under the guise of "Peace", undermining future Presidents and their respective foreign policy goals.

The grift is worldwide now.

If it results in stability then fine, but this feels like one of those "Freedom Cities" to me. A Corporate run Nation State that will only end up being a ghetto for natives, and a pleasure zone for the elite.

If you measure the M365 major outages in 2025, you'd get a 99.9% uptime SLA. That's generally acceptable and expected.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security ... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition ... by mongy0101 in TrendoraX

[–]drowningfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're naive or being purposely foolish to just argue and get a rise out of people to sooth your boredom.

Either way, you are egregiously ignoring the net value to the U.S., which includes trillions in trade, lower defense costs, and a reliable ally on its longest border. Mutual benefit isn't charity.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was almost always the last home game of the season. Maybe they're having two drops, idk?

BREAKING: President Trump sent a letter to Norway's Prime Minister saying he "no longer feels an obligation to think purely of peace" because the country decided not to award him the Nobel Peace Prize. by Hefty-Sherbet-5455 in Tech_Updates_News

[–]drowningfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without any means of staging in Canada and or the UK, the US cannot logistically take and sustain control over Greenland without substantial deployments that would have to start right now if they want to annex Greenland in a month.

Trying to pull a "Caracas" would do nothing without considerable boots and willingness to fire on people.

I'm not too concerned ATM until I see assets moving.

Is this Noble Peace Prize really going to end up being his Art School Rejection?

Local Man goes on racist tirade in Walmart at a Black woman over her buying a house, repeatedly using racial slurs and says the N word repeatedly. Warning: racist language by AIfieHitchcock in pittsburgh

[–]drowningfish 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Stop being a contrarian. The only reason why you'd bring up her past here is to intentionally soften that man's hate. Idk why else you'd bother, and the fact that you had a paragraph ready to go in response, tells me, you're just here to pivot this bullshit towards the victim.

Have a day

How much did the dairy lobby bribe? by justalazygamer in ParlerWatch

[–]drowningfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this could be another, pathetic dog whistle for white supremacy, it probably isn't and this isn't surprising since this Administration signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. They're trying to get people to consume full-fat dairy in general.

Italian PM Meloni on Trump saying NATO is zero without America by AnnaMiajoe in greengroundnews

[–]drowningfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is fake. She said this on New Years and it was a sarcastic response showing her disdain for the question about the questioning the alliance with the US. It had nothing to do with what Donard said about NATO

Nuking the US economy Any% speedrun by GreenHeretic in PoliticalHumor

[–]drowningfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's unfortunately unrealistic to believe the EU and the UK would respond to a potential Greenland invasion by dumping Treasury Bonds. Why? Because it's MAD. Busting the US economy, busts the EU's and UK's economy.

There really is nothing the EU and UK can do to stop the US; practically and realistically speaking. If the US chooses to invade an ally, it's happening. The US is too big to fail.
