Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

In addition to wanting a complete yes man at the Fed, I’d say Trump hasn’t forgiven Powell for publicly correcting his nonsense:

There's $10 trillion in T-Bonds maturing this year in the US, most, if not all will just be rolled over automatically. However I think Trump is trying to take control of the FED to lower interest rates drastically to reduce the interest on the rolled over debt.

, if the officer or employee has reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such a felony, if the officer or employee is performing duties relating to the enforcement of the immigration laws at the time of the arrest and if there is a likelihood of the person escaping before a warrant can be obtained for his arrest.

Section a or section b are irrelevant unless the above parts are being implemented. They have to be enforcing immigration laws.

At the time of the murder the so called ice agents weren’t enforcing immigration laws.
i would also bet that the new recruits to ice would have very little knowledge of US felony legislation.

At the time of the murder only Ross’s hand came into contact with the vehicle. He had changed the phone into his left hand. It is almost certain that Ross slapped down on the vehicle with his left hand and that is what was captured on the footage released by the DHS. As an aside the DHS left the erroneous impression that the footage was from a body camera.

We have true freedom. Americans who say that must have never set foot outside of USA.

I would not accept they were enforcing immigration laws. They had been driving vehicles from one place to another. They don’t have warrants for anyone and they had no one under investigation. Their actions were unlawful and they had no lawful authority to demand anything from Ms Good.

It's genuinely hard to watch that to be honest. America has always been a country with a darker side, like all countries, but this kind of stuff really does leave you aghast as where they are right now. The video is morally bankrupt and devoid of intellect or compassion — not to mention it genuinely comes across like something you would see in a movie set in the future where the US has actually become a fully fledged autocratic dictatorship.

Regardless of what one wants to argue about the officer's state of mind and what he reasonably believed in the moment, the video evidence does not suggest that Ms Good was attempting to run the officer run over or kill anyone. She turned away from him. It was a reckless and potentially dangerous manoeuvre, yes, that's fair to say. But to say that this poor woman attempted to run over and kill this officer is such utterly disgraceful behaviour from a government body that I find it shocking even applying what I expect from this administration.

The fact is, he walked away more or less unharmed — she got as many as three bullets to the head, two of which were fired at her by the officer from the side after the car completed its turn away from him. Unbelievable stuff, truly disgraceful post from them.

"Why else do you think folks were protesting and recording them?"

Perhaps because they were acting like thugs!?

They always act like thugs. Did you see the quote from their chief earlier on X? Wannabe edgelord.

Recording them is the only way civilians can report them and provide evidence. It's the only power they have.

Funny how you're always assuming the victims are to blame.

Always assuming men in uniform can do no wrong.

Is this some sort of AI satire?

I'm sure they followed all procedures legally here and someone will be along to tell us all about it soon

The reason for recording is as much to document and highlight what is happening. It's a lot harder to deny a regime is behaving atrociously when there's tonnes of video footage.

I wonder who?

If that is what Noem said then the Botox has leaked into what was a pea sized brain to start with.

It comes across as if Ross had encountered Renee Good the day before he murdered her and was carrying a grudge.
