I don't normally like to speculate about stuff, but ah, what the hell. here you go.

Tess's avatar

Well done SIR! (an honest “sir” not a fake one! lol)

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

ok but do you have tears in your eyes

arne link's avatar

And biceps, what about the bulging biceps? Oh, wait.

Stephen Brady's avatar

Well, there is a certain bulge in the back of Donnie Demento's Depends...

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Now that Timothy Cardinal Dolan has retired, all ginormously bulging biceps must be sent to Trump’s new favorite poofer conservative cleric, Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota. The princess who lives pretty close to Minneapolis but finds ICE murders there morally justifiable.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Bishop Robert Barron has received criticism for not commenting on the killing of Renee Good, an incident that occurred in a nearby metro area to his diocese in Minnesota. While other Catholic leaders in the area, such as the Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, have issued statements, reporting indicates that Barron has remained silent on this specific event.

Chet Brandt's avatar

This requires a big FUCK YOU to pseudo-catholic bishop Robert Barron. Take your alleged Christian values and shove them up your ass.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

That's interesting because one thing you can say about the central church in the Vatican is that it's relatively consistent on "life." While it opposes abortion (disagree) it also opposes the death penalty (agree). It certainly shouldn't find murder "morally justifiable" no matter what the situation.

A.J. Madison's avatar

Murder shouldn't be morally justifiable for sure. But the Roman Catholic Church is a very old, very archaic, very rigid patriarchy. And, well, the RCC just can't have women believing they have the same rights as men. Including the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. OTOH, the RCC is THE example of why there is separation of church and state. And idiots in the government who advocate some intrusion of the church (not necessarily christian belief systems) need to be forced out of government at our earliest convenience.

Stephen Brady's avatar

Well, it appears that success in tRump's golden bordello is best guaranteed if you can guess what bit of misinformation will likely best trigger Dear Leader and then whisper it to him. Hillary said it would not be a good idea to elect someone who can be triggered with a tweet... right as usual.

Pam Humphrey's avatar

Not only does he expect a third impeachment, he DESERVES one. A conviction, too.

Brenda Ball's avatar

Please make it happen.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

He's also expecting to have a third term, so it's a horse race to see what happens before this coming November.

Grace Kennedy's avatar

And I think a third rail would be the best solution.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I'm holding out for prison. My dream is to see him led to prison in handcuffs.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

That's wildly unlikely and we should stop buying into this. Even those around him have said "no way," as has he himself in his more lucid moments. The other thing is that at the rate he's declining he may be unable to function by the end of THIS year.

Marla's avatar

OK, se but here's the thing.

If he believes that he was elected in 2020, then he's currently serving his 3rd term.

2016, 2020, 2024 = 3 terms.

Please, God, no more.

Jan Moon's avatar

He slithered through the first two. Why would he care about a third. Or a fourth. Or a fifth? The whole federal set up is just a fucking joke anymore.

Tess's avatar

Not a shock…and probably nothing will come of it unfortunately!

Marguerite Foster's avatar

True. Impeachment doesn't mean a damn thing unless they convict and remove the basturd, then throw the basturd in a federal prison for treason or even a firing squad or hanging would work. Then ship his wife her parents and her and trumps' son to Solvania. Heck, ship his other 3 idiot children with them. They're all rotten to the core... or perhaps they can find a large deserted island in the ocean of their choice and take their MAGA supporters with them, including the ones currently in office (senators, reps. SC, speaker of the house) and he can be their king. The caveat is they all lose their US citizenship and will never be allowed entrance into the US again, under any circumstances.

This USMC vet can dream.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

They were all born in Russia and must be shot by ICE now.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

His mother-in-law died. Don't know if she's buried on the golf course with his first wife.

No speculation about the drugs.

Jennifer's avatar

New footage dropped from across the street that showed the shooting of Renee Good. In no way was the ICE agent in danger, she wasn't trying to run him over, and it's even more clear that he murdered her. (As if we didn't know that already.)

Other footage shows him on his phone, recording the whole thing. That must be some interesting footage for this "Christian father who loves his family" as he's being called, as opposed to the "self-described poet, she/her riot-inciter who's been trained to mow ICE agents down with their vehicles."

They all belong in the Hague.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I've seen that footage. that's today's Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit

Jennifer's avatar

There's too much Shit That Happened for anyone to keep up. You're doing an amazing job, considering.

arne link's avatar

It was horrible to see an actual murder as it happened. Horrible.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

that why in the two posts I've written about it, I've only linked to the video, and not embedded it in the post

Mike Phelan's avatar

Just read a bit about Mrs Goebels having a meltdown over ChatGPT’s analysis of the shooting which stated:

"Based on available video and reporting: ICE agents escalated a chaotic stop, gave conflicting commands, and fired as the woman tried to leave. The shooting responsibility lies with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who pulled the trigger."

Claudia Montague Wheatley's avatar

"gave conflicting commands"

I wish more accounts would mention that ICE simultaneously ordered Renee Good to "Stay in your vehicle" and "Exit your vehicle!" It was the first thing I noticed about the video.

I know word count is a bitch, but that one fact highlights (1) lack of training (2) lack of coordination (3) how dangerous Stephen Miller's project has become for EVERYBODY.

Don't think your skin color will protect you, MAGA. Renee was a white woman and ICE shot her in her pale face anyway.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Stephen Miller is at the top of my wish list for prison. But I would give him the benefit of a fair trial first even though he doesn't believe in this for others.

Paula Dean's avatar

Thank you for that. I'm never going to recover from all the PTSD related to tRumPutin.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

The aftermath of violence against the gathered crowd, the flow of fuckery from Trump’s, Vance’s and the rest of his administrations mendacious lips were nearly as horrific Arne! Fuck these pathetic psychopaths who serve the amorally vacuous billionaire class, who’ve waged this hellscape on we the serfs!

Mary Hall's avatar

In case you missed it last night in Portland, Oregon, a husband and wife were shot by CBP in a hospital parking lot. One in the leg and one in the chest. JFC I hate it here!

If Renee Good got out of her car and attacked that scum ICE agent with an American flag would she pardoned by Pumpkinhead.

In fact, all protesters should carry American flags, then Harpie could show her secret admirer video of ICE agents shoving around people carrying the flag.

But then again, the symbol of democracy for this country means nothing to this self aggrandizing, narcissistic puke.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I hope Minnesota charges this guy because you know that even if he was charged federally, Trump would instantly pardon him.

I've been saying this since the beginning. Marching into cities and taking down immigrants without warrants is just practice to get us used to armed military invading cities and taking people. The cruelty is the point. Today immigrants, tomorrow the Blacks, the Democrats and then how long before they round up the Jews? Miller should be careful. He looks like a scapegoat candidate to me.

Sharon C Storm's avatar

Perhaps I haven’t been reading everything correctly, but it never occurred to me that they were doing all of that. I’m so sorry that people in MN are dealing with such criminal behavior from ICE. I live in a small town, we have seen ICE twice in the past few months. Both times they were in the parking lot of my church. I have not personally seen them.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Consider yourself fortunate Sharon, peaceful protests are being met with violence, you’ve probably witnessed some of it on the TV or net… it’s much different in person!

It’s not even the lie that’s wild anymore. It’s the setup. You’ve got a demented old man, a laptop fairy with a printer, and a curated reality feed designed to keep him agitated, flattered, and obedient. Of course he “saw a video” that doesn’t exist. When your handlers spoon-feed you fantasy and call it evidence, hallucination becomes policy. This isn’t leadership, it’s assisted delusion with national consequences.

BINGO! I see a Sir Sir story of a different sort: Hulk Hogan says, "Ok, pal. Give me your best shot." Brent Shadow, wide-eyed, produces a widening patch of darkened jeans at the crotch and says, "Sir, Sir, I never expected someone to ACTUALLY have giant muscles standing so close to me." Pivoting "Heh, heh...Did you pick up any Vietnamese language while overseas?" he adds, grinning sheepishly.

Hulk, mildly irritated and ready to walk on, wraps up the encounter with a practical assist "Someone point this guy to a public restroom before he takes a shit."

NO NO NO

They aren't "untruths", or falsehoods, deceptions, fabrications, fables, myths, yarns, parables, or bluffs, either.

THEY'RE MOTHERFUCKING LIES!!!

arne link's avatar

It should have read "woman murdered by ICE" because that is what actually happened. I bet they are wishing it had been a brown woman. Too bad it was a white woman with white children. Of course, she was gay so they will spin that angle forever.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

The idea that the government should just murder gay people puts us at the bottom as one of the most savage and anti-human rights countries in the entire world. And we should spin it that way every time they try to bring this up.

Carol C's avatar

She was divorced from her first husband, widowed by her second husband. Both men. Kristy is the one insinuating Renee Good was gay, and that gay people cause whatever harm comes to them.

arne link's avatar

But they do refer to her "wife". Who knows? I certainly don't care a whit about anyone's sex life. I do care when people are murdered in cold blood.

PTW's avatar

Arne, I did see a video of a sobbing woman, sitting in the snow. The homeowner where she is sitting is talking to her and she states "They just shot my wife. They shot her in the head." I just wanted to hug her, comfort her, get her into the house, get her up out of the snowbank, away from those thugs. Fuck these fucking thugs.

Secretary Noempathy: “Who are going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?”

Joyce's avatar

Great name for her, as it is entirely all too accurate: she is clearly not fully wired to be human.

As a side note to the utter grimness of this horrific event and the far more significant and damaging lies: how about Noempathy's proclamation that the ICE thugs' cars were stuck in snow and they were busy pushing the cars out (that alone was entertaining, as it furthered the image of the thugs as wholly inept at anything other than killing)....and the video shows the cars parked in the middle of a snowless lane. So--they got stuck on bare asphalt and were pushing their cars down the street???

I left the USA for my home in Europe on Tuesday and I won’t be back. I have given up all hope for that shithole. When a thug can go up to a mom’s car and shoot her in the face three times ON VIDEO with impunity, in my book, all hope is gone. Those evils fuckers will carry on til they drop dead at which time another evil fuck will take their place. My heart hurts for all of the folks who read your piece but I hope every single one of those maga pieces of shit suffers terminal illness, bankruptcy and whatever else catastrophic can befall them because they have brought this evil on the entire populace and I am Not hyperbolic when I say they deserve to be shot.

95% of us can't leave because we're too old, or don't have marketable skills or don't have the money to relocate, or have family obligations or have no connection to another country. It's very rare to have all the pieces necessary to move to another country so it's not really a useful suggestion. What is useful is to join with others to fight back.

Joyce's avatar

I think she accidentally did a truth.

These January 6th ICE thugs haven't a clue about basic police protocols--like, don't step in front of a moving vehicle, moron (never mind cops: 90% of 4-year-olds have a firm grasp of that one); and, if you shoot the driver dead while the car is moving, the driver is unlikely to be able to steer the car...

But they are really, really good at throwing people to the ground--especially small women and landscapers--and beating the shit out of them; now they're proving they're well trained in how to murder people. Yep--what they're trained to do, Puppy Killer.

rlritt's avatar

Their real job is to inspire terror so citizens comply.

Michael Guenon's avatar

I believe that they are trained to leave the crime scene. They know the FBI investigation is no threat to them. No way in hell there will be a decision against any agent shooting. They have shit-canned all procedure and kept local authorities out.

Trump told New York Times reporters David E. Sanger, Tyler Pager, Katie Rogers, and Zolan Kanno-Youngs that as commander-in-chief, he has only one limit on his power: “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” He claimed he gets to determine what is legal under international law, and seemed to stretch that authority to domestic affairs, too, saying that he was already considering getting around a possible decision by the Supreme Court that his tariffs were unconstitutional by simply calling them licensing fees and that he could invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy troops in the U.S. if he “felt the need to do it.”

Meanwhile, he loves to watch the violence that he instigated, from Jan 6 to Venezuela, live on TV. Caligula reincarnated.

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

I think the demented, illiterate monster meant to say “my own mortality,” not “my own morality,” because he’s obsessed with his impending death and the thought he might not get into “Heaven.” Plus, “morality” is a concept that has never once crossed his mind.
