Fascism Is here

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Trump approves disaster declarations for red states, as blue states go without
“President Trump and his administration have politicized disaster relief,” one governor said, “and our communities are the ones who will pay the price.”
President Donald Trump approved major disaster declarations for Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe late Wednesday, while denying requests from Vermont, Illinois and Maryland and leaving other states still waiting for answers. ...

Trump published an item to his social media platform on Wednesday afternoon, announcing that he’d personally approved $2.5 million in disaster aid for Missouri. Ordinarily, that wouldn’t have been especially notable as a national news story, but the context matters.

The president’s online statement didn’t just announce the relief funding, it also emphasized the number of times he won Missouri’s electoral votes, as if there were some kind of connection between his political support in the state and his eagerness to provide disaster aid. The Republican went on to reference the “incredible Patriots” in the GOP stronghold.
Asshole.
A president for Republicans and those that bow down, not all Americans. It's like this boy's actions are designed to purposely weaken the United States. As president, your aim should be to mintain the cohesion of our country. You don't want to play favoritism with states just because their electoral votes went towards you. You shouldn't aim to emphasize internal differences and exacerbate them. That doesn't bode well for a country.
It's the Accelerationist Theology on steroids, and it's working. :problem:

Pentagon readying thousands of Guard ‘reaction forces’ as U.S. mission widens


Meanwhile:

Jackboots.

US citizen, 67, ‘has ribs broken’ by Border Patrol agents after being dragged out of car while driving home into street they’d blocked off
The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade


:wtf: !!!
... “The agents threatened to break his window if he didn’t move his car. Before he could act, they pulled him out of his car, knelt on his back, and subdued him, though he never resisted. They broke six of his ribs and caused internal bleeding.”
Six rib fractures is automatically a critical, life-threatening injury.
... The (victim's running) club condemned the incident, saying: “This really is happening in our country with frightening frequency. It’s terrifying and it has to stop. We must keep sharing these stories, calling out these injustices and standing up for those who can’t stand up for themselves.”

Since the incident, the group said it had seen an outpouring of support.

“The outpouring of messages and support the past 24 hours has been overwhelming and heartwarming. It’s given us some hope that light can shine through the dark,” the post said. “For those concerned about our athlete, thank you. He is doing as well as can be expected.”
Phew.
... According to ABC News, more video clips showed agents tackling and arresting several people, including U.S. citizens, outside homes decorated for Halloween. In one clip, a man identified as Carlos Rodriguez can be heard yelling, “You’re scaring our children to death.”

“Unbelievable. Never thought this would happen in my neighborhood – scaring our children to death, thinking this is a cool thing to do,” Rodriguez said in the video, ABC News reported.

(lots more terrifying detail)
:cry: Jackboots.

Great minds:
If you didn't know this was USA, you would think it is a third world country run by a fascist regime. Oh, USA is run by a fascist regime. My heart goes out to our USA friends that are being subjected to this jack boot regime.
This is exactly the kind of behavior that americans have always condemned in what they called "third world countries" with totalitarian regimes. Now that it's happening in their own country with the consent and encouragement of their "democratically elected government" they are surprisingly tolerant. Hmmmm.
Hopefully these terrorists can be tried and imprisoned for their actions....

It'll be the usual. "Well, they're ILLEGAL" or "They shouldn't resist" or "He has the right to stop crime" or some similar pap.

The Cult members have been given their deflecting, LYING talking points. FTA:
... Asked to comment on the incident, Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, released a statement to The Independent, addressing the operation but not the specific treatment of the 67-year-old man.
:roll: I'm already sick of this jerk.
“On October 25, 2025, Border Patrol conducted an operation that resulted in the arrest of, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, who has previously been arrested for assault.

“During the operations Border Patrol agents were surrounded and boxed in by a group of agitators. Federal law enforcement issued multiple lawful commands and verbal warnings, all of which were ignored. During the operation, two U.S. citizens were arrested for assaulting and impeding a federal officer. To safely clear the area after multiple warnings and the crowd continuing to advance on them, Border Patrol had to deploy crowd control measures.

“Our officers are facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest murderers, rapists, abusers, and gang members. Secretary Noem’s message to the rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
In our real world:
Court filings in a case brought by the Chicago Headline Club, a chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, and reviewed by The Independent, paint a different picture. Attorneys allege that on October 25, “masked CBP agents entered the 3700 block of Kildare in Old Irving Park and ruined what should have been an ordinary Saturday morning.”

Children were preparing for a parade, neighbors were still in pajamas, with one woman outside with her hair wrapped in a towel, when agents began tackling residents, including one man “approximately 70 years old.”

Witnesses said agents acted aggressively toward neighbors who appeared nonviolent. Agents allegedly deployed tear gas as they left the scene, “without any audible warning,” and wore no identification numbers.

The filing says: “According to Brian Kolp, an attorney who ‘supports law enforcement and represents them,’ residents were not doing anything threatening or violent (neighbors were not touching agents or threatening them). While leaving the scene after making their arrests, and without any audible warning, agents deployed tear gas. One of the canisters caught on fire.

“The federal agents were masked and did not have any identification numbers. This experience was terrifying for residents.” ...
Jackboots.
Lament the murder, not the murdered.

That's what makes this different.

They weren't illegal, they didn't resist and there was no crime, just families.
