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

The best justice system money can buy!😉

Interacting with a bunch of dangerous thugs which ICE are is foolish.There is nothing wrong with saying this.

Being a martyr for what is not really that great a cause it's just the deportation of people who are not legally in the country is not admirable, it means you are dead and your family and friends have to continue without you.

Easy for you to say it isn't foolish you're not the one who is suffering now.I imagine the 2 families of the 2 people who were killed some of their first thoughts were, why the hell didn't they just stay at home.

This is what the MAGA movement and the millions of cult members secretly crave. The US becomes a right wing authoritarian state and the right to protest against the regime (by 'lefties') is abolished…..all under the pretext of restoring law and order.

That doesn't give them the authority to do whatever the **** they want. They can't simply attack or murder civilians. There's plenty of documented events of them behaving unacceptably including this one and that was before they even they shot the man. My point stands, random shootings by law enforcement that are justified by the regime is a symptom of either an outright authoritarian regime or a declining democracy.

If something similar happened in France or Germany or Ireland for that matter. There would be a transparent investigation and it would end up going to trial. In Trump's America, it doesn't. Instead the victim is labeled a terrorist. Meanwhile we have people such as yourself who will blame the victims for being present and not being a danger.

I'll repeat, this man was an ICU nurse for veterans and had a great reputation. He had no recorded encounters with law enforcement prior to this.

In 100 years time there will be university courses on how the reign of a president half a world away managed to have so much coverage in Ireland when we have kids sleeping in a hotel room for their 3rd consecutive cold January. What America does or who they elect should not elicit such hyperbolic reaction when we have our own problems - Matt Cooper and Pat Kenny are obsessed with Trump - Why??

If America had a proper justice system Trump would be in jail and not be the President of America.

To anyone questioning what happened here, check out this stabilised and slowed down video.

Absolutely clear as day, guy in blue jeans with the black hat in the middle of the frame was itching to shoot someone.

In the case of Rene Good she was dropping off her son. At the very worst she gave Mr. Ice a bit of backchat and she got 3 bullets fired into her, which you are trying to blame her for…and let's be honest that's what your in favour of.

You say she should have "stayed at home".

Listen to yourself. You're embarrassing yourself. Shame on you.

Good to know that MAGA has just cancelled the Second Amendment (!)

Why did anyone care about the rise of fascism in 1930s?

We're a year in and he's repeatedly threatened European security. On top of that, plenty of us have family in the US. So US leadership directly and indirectly impacts us. That's ignoring the obvious impacts on trade and employment etc. It's pretty naive to view US leadership as irrelevant to us.

I find the idea that people can't care about what Donald Trump, the most powerful figure in the world does because of potholes on local roads or HSE waiting times rather odd to say the least.

A perfect description of ICE.

This also springs to mind.
