    Well if you cannot believe your own eyes on the direction she turned the steering wheel, safe to say anything else you believe is a fantasy of your own making as well.

    Funniest thing he ever did was believe Trumps medical advice

    I cannot see how.

    Iran is not Greenland, and other than invading Iran I don`t see militarily any other options that would have any effect other than likely being counterproductive.

    New Quinnipiac poll. By 53-35, Americans believe the ICE shooting of Renee Good was not justified.

    Also 7 federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned in protest at the DOJ pressure on them in the investigation. CNN says DOJ has pressured them to focus on Renee Good and what they call her Far Left ties.

    Even Joe Rogan comparing the situation to the Gestapo.

    Trump saying "Minnesota is Trump country" and "a reckoning is coming".

    CNN has report now about Generation Z going back to the Democrats.

    So @Manic Moran are we saying that they still haven’t done anything illegal? Disguising aircraft to look like civilian aircraft when killing people in international waters. Would love your views on this.
    From the article itself “the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime”.

    So it would seem that they either committed a war crime if they were ‘legitimate’ targets or just straight up murdered them.

    The last thing Iran needs, is for Trump to intervene in this conflict.

    If there is a genuine revolution happening in Iran, it needs to play out in the short term, and then if there is evidence of a genocide from the Iranian regime, the UN needs to step in and global sanctions should be applied against those responsible for the genocide.

    Nothing good can come from Trump intervening militarily. He'll pick a side that suits him, not one that suits the Iranians fighting against decades of oppression. He'd only make things much much worse in the short and long term

    Reneé Goods ex father in law in CNN now. He is the grandfather of one of her children.

    An example of the Trump cult is that both her father and ex father in law still say they support Trump. The ex father in law says "unfortunately she made some bad choices". Ex father in law says he doesn't blame anyone for what happened. Quotes the bible, says world is full of trials and tribulations. Quotes Gospel of John on this.

    Her biological father says he supports Trump but is saddened Trump called her a domestic terrorist.

    One of the things cults including the Trump cult do is try to turn people against their families.

    He'll do his best to get someone aligned with Israel in there anyway. I hear the shah's son is very amenable to them.

    Trump in the past few hours "Minnesota is Trump Country", "Retribution is coming". This after 7 Federal Prosecutors in Minnesota resigned because the White House wants Renee Good and her wife investigated and nothing into Agent Ross's shooting of Ms Good.

    During the same time period, Trump is telling the people of Iran to keep on protesting on their streets after several thousand have been shot dead on their city streets by that country's government.

    What the retribution is, is open to the people of Minnesota and the U.S to figure out. However, Trump's Federal Govt gave advanced notice that it is sending 1,000 extra agents to the city of Minneapolis/St Paul to "assist" the agents already there.

    Chief O'Hara of Minneapolis P.D has said his Dept is getting hundreds 911 calls from the city's populace complaining about the ICE agents city streets activities.

    What price one dead U.S citizen at the hands of a Trump administration agency????

    I've got to hand it to Trump, he's sending a message to the U.S that they have a loon [him] in charge of the house.

    Stop with the nonsense pretending that the justice system in the U.S. under the present administration follows the rules and etiquette taken for granted in civilized countries.

    Your president, your vice president and the head of the agency that employed the killer all tried Renee Good by media within hours of her being killed and pronounced her the guilty party. To ensure no inconvenient facts ended up getting in the way - after agreeing to a joint investigation with the state authority - Patel`s FBI did a quick about face and denied access to any potential evidence. Your DOJ is still scrambling around looking to find a living breathing body to hang the responsibility on, pressing prosecutors to charge her widow. Six of which have just resigned.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,601 ✭✭✭✭charlie14


    That is the third clip I have seen them mind that little dickhead with the flag. The first was the day after Renee Good was murdered, with a woman who looked like his Mammy keeping a tight grip on him and him shouting for others to come to support him.

    Looks in the other two as if he has escaped his Mammy.

    If there is any elections they won't be free and fair unfortunately everyone has capitulated or been threatened that can't stop him see him earlier giving workers the finger.

    The masked goons are trying to aggravate locals in blue states to excuse the invoking of the insurrection act b4 midterms.

    felons signature is all over this and I'd say its a joke in the WH, he reduced there training from 5 months to 47 days lol

    he's hoping they will take the bait and will raise the stakes it nothing to do with immigration



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,063 ✭✭✭Ozymandius2011


    New poll mentioned by CNN I think Quinnipac. 57% disagree with how ICE is handling immigration, to 40% who agree.

    Also among Gen Z, Trump has gone from.a small net favourable rating (+5% I think) in February 2025 to a net unfavourable rating of 20%.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭Iecrawfc


    40% of Americans are degenerates at this stage, they'll need a widespread deprogramming effort if/when the fascists self destruct

    The rise of MAGA/Reform/AfD/RN etc. poses serious questions for all of us. It certainly took me by surprise and it’s not confined to any country. I don’t think it’s even restricted to its voters either. We may have got off lightly in Ireland, so far, but there is no room for complacency.

    "They were conducting duties relating to the enforcement of immigration laws. Why else do you think folks were protesting and recording them? In any case, duties relating to the enforcement of laws are not just putting hands on people, they are everything ancillary to it."

    Not all heroes wear capes....

    Incidentally, petition to get everyone call out Paedophile Protector to Trump everywhere he goes.

    After all, he saw fit to say "quiet piggy" to a reporter, so name calling is perfectly acceptable

    Bipartisan legislators in Congress move to protect NATO.

    The legislation would bar the use of Pentagon or State Department funds to blockade, occupy, annex,, or otherwise assert control over the sovereign territory of a NATO member state without that ally’s consent or authorization from the North Atlantic Council.

    The bill amounts to one of the sharpest congressional rebukes yet of recent statements by the Trump administration suggesting the US could seek to take control of Greenland, the autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.

    “This is Congress saying: absolutely not,” said one senior Senate aide involved in drafting the legislation, speaking to Kyiv Post on condition of anonymity. “You don’t joke about invading allies. And you definitely don’t spend taxpayer dollars preparing for it.”……………

    That sense of urgency extends across the Capitol.

    In the House, Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE), chair of the Cyber, Information Technologies, and Innovation Subcommittee, joined Representative Bill Keating (D-MA), the ranking member of the Europe Subcommittee, along with Danish Caucus co-chair Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and NATO Parliamentary Assembly delegate Brendan Boyle (D-PA), to introduce the No Funds for NATO Invasion Act.

    The measure would prohibit any federal funds from being used to invade a NATO member state or any territory protected under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty – and bar any US official from taking steps to carry out such an invasion.

    Are all these resignations beneficial. Its happening in numerous states and arms of government. Surely its just opening thr door to install another Trump clown who will do his bidding..

    It suits all the powers in the region if someone aligned with the Sunni's is in power.

    Israel is USA's giant aircraft carrier in the middle east.

    Years ago the USA picked the Sunni side in the Islamic schism. Prior to October 7th, Saudis and the rest of the Sunni nations were close to entering trade and technology agreement's with the Israeli.

    The Mullahs in Iran are in the way.

    Iran is a beautiful country with huge resources including an educated population; it'll take off with the right leadership not ghouls obsessed with a religious war with Israelis and the Sunnis.

    The path to the right home grown leadership is the really tricky bit. I'd imagine there's all sorts of foreign agents on the ground trying to direct things



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 335 ✭✭somenergy


    40% still support trump even goods family relatives support with all that happened or not the epstein files america is fcuked and will get worse when the tarrif war started it was the time to close that door and start relationships with other democracys and China less evil and twisted as the US.

    Time for Europe to move on, they need us more than they think.

    Maybe the popular Iranian chant wasnt that bad after all.

    ICE agent agent should be reprimanded for not shooting a real dem it is a blue target rich state



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,356 ✭✭✭✭Leroy42


    Christ. Going on national TV to say that your relative probably had it coming when she got shot is quite the position to take.

    They chose the state, the elites, over their own family.

    Even if they think she is to blame, to actually go on national TV and blame her is extraordinary.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,063 ✭✭✭Ozymandius2011


    Reports the Ford employee who heckled Trump has raised $120,000 on GoFundMe.

    Democrats say 99% of Epstein files have not been released according to CNN.

    It's clear the DOJ is violating the law passed by Congress.

    Also Bill and Hillary Clinton refusing to speak to Congress on Epstein. Republicans moving to find them in contempt of Congress which is a crime.

    ‘Jesus wept’ . I thought that Trump had reached the bottom of the bucket with this kind of ‘carry on’ some time ago . The bottom we all thought was there was a dummy one and he has found that the bottom has not been ‘reached’ yet

    He is an abominable individual of the worst type. The sooner something happens for the US and the World the better be it the Mid -terms, the next pres election or maybe ‘something sooner’ !!!!!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭Mywifetoldme


    Will people stop resigning and stand up and fight back.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 680 ✭✭✭DrPsychia


    The way some of the pro-ICE and pro-Trumpers debate on this thread sort of reminds me of this video. Being contrarian for the sake of it.
    Absolute energy vampires.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,547 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    That's the problem with the fallacy that the military, attorneys etc will stop this tyrant.

    If they stay, they'll be fired without cause. If they leave, they momentarily draw attention to the issue but the sheer magnitude of scandals means it only stays in the public consciousness for a heartbeat.

    Trump then hires a "yes man" and matters continue.

    The system isn't built to withstand the sheer abuse and wanton corruption of a cult leader.

    Elon Musk is trying to agitate for civil unrest in the UK in the name of maintaining free speech because people have an issue with his AI monstrosity creating porn images of unconsenting adults AND children.

    The same Elon Musk who banned Twitter accounts who made fun of him.

    They don't want free speech.
