Absence of independent thinking

But you were conned into thinking illegal immigrants were the biggest threat to the USA

It means you are in a cult

Well, those Republicans have vastly underestimated Jasmine Crockett. She is vastly more intelligent than a whole group of Republicans put together. Trump is scared of her. I love the ad she put out:

Did JD Vance write this for you?

He is selling a product under false pretenses, and uses manipulation to enthrall the base, while he robs the country and engages in a lot of self-dealing, all the while convincing the rubes he is on their side, while calling them "basement dwellers" in private. He's got them fooled he is acting in their interests, but he is most assuredly not.

The global civil society alliance Civicus – an influential network of organizations at the local, national, regional and international levels – has updated their country ratings and global assessment on civic freedoms. Click on this link to go to a map showing the ratings of different countries around the world. Canada is classified as an “open” society, with a score of 82/100 The USA has had its rating downgraded from “narrowed” to “obstructed” – with a score of 56/100 Some of the reasons leading to the downslide in the US score are: · Laws rewritten to punish dissent · Agencies militarized · Public media dismantled · Civil liberties weakened · Surveillance normalized · Propaganda institutionalized The American public is being suppressed rather than served.

The DHS lies.

Well, the detaining of US citizens without due process is one way - with warrantless, unlawful arrests, and detention based on constitutional and human-rights violations, but in general, the Trump Administration is harming the rule of law in these broad categories: Open hostility and public attacks on judges Refusing or delaying compliance with court orders Eroding long-standing institutional norms Using the DOJ to target political opponents and shield allies Retaliation against law firms and lawyers based on political affiliation Selective enforcement and shifting priorities Attempts to bypass Congress’s power, especially over spending Frequent use of broad, aggressive executive orders with questionable legality Treating the executive as above legal constraints Eroding civil rights protections via policy and enforcement changes Using clemency and pardons in ways that weaken accountability Erosion of public trust in institutions Danger of normalization of “rule-by-politics” instead of “rule-by-law” Discouraging qualified people from serving in the judiciary or legal profession He's been using his power to silence voices he does not want to be heard, and using that power to amplify loyal voices who spread his message. He calls the press "the enemy of the people" for god's sake

I don't know what you're talking about. I never made any comment on ANTIFA Trump has targeted the First Amendment in his crackdowns on the freedom of protest, lawyers and the press

Illegal immigrants do deserve to be deported. full stop. No-one has ever disagreed with that. But it does not follow that the US government can destroy the rule of law.

They count things like traffic violations and possession of a joint.

You said they were targeting violence. I showed you statistics proving that is not true.

a new study from the Cato Institute found that 73% of people detained by ICE have no convictions. It also found that nearly half had no criminal conviction nor even any pending criminal charges and that only 5% had a violent criminal conviction

But, the Administration has encouraged them to act outside of the law. They've been told they will be given federal immunity. According to Stephen Miller: “To all ICE officers, you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties,” Miller said. “And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony.” They've been told they cannot be arrested when performing their "duties." According to Todd Blanche: “The Department of Justice views any arrests of federal agents and officers in the performance of their official duties as both illegal and futile,” Blanche wrote. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/31/fact-check-do-ice-officers-really-have-federal-immunity-in-the-us They are spurred on by the continual barrage of hatred the Trump administration levels at those they pursue. On Thursday evening, Trump condemned immigrants in a broad and vicious invective, painting them as “illegal and disruptive populations” and attacking “those that hate, steal, murder and destroy everything that America stands for”. He vowed to block all migration from “third world countries” to allow the “US system to fully recover”. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/29/trumps-hate-filled-rant-ignores-facts-on-immigrant-and-economic-benefits This is a situation ripe for abuse. They interviewed people who had actually been detained. It really happened, separate from whatever spin the Democrats put on it. There are many, if you're paying attention. And in fact, ICE is conducting themselves more as kidnappers than law enforcement. Here's one story you might be interested in reading: Fifteen U.S. Citizens Detained In Over 96 ‘Kavanaugh Stops,’ As Feds Disregard Legal Documentation Justice Kavanaugh laid out the framework for how racial profiling is permissible by federal agents leading to what has now been coined as the “Kavanaugh Stop,” by professor Anil Kalhan. They have been needlessly traumatized How did zip-tying them accomplish this? The entire operation is his.

I invite you to read the Unchecked Authority: EXAMINING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S EXTRAJUDICIAL IMMIGRATION DETENTIONS OF U.S. CITIZENS - released yesterday "This report contains new details of the Administration’s actions based on interviews conducted by the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (“PSI” or “the Subcommittee”) of nearly two dozen American citizens detained by federal immigration agents between June and November 2025." And - The Subcommittee’s findings add to a growing body of evidence that the Trump Administration is seeking to build a nationwide paramilitary force with vast resources that lawlessly detains citizens based on its own whims—an effort which has a number of unfortunate and obvious historical parallels. Included in the report are the experiences of children - such as: Anabel Romero’s 14-year-old daughter was zip-tied over her mother’s objection, while her six and eight-year-old children were held at gunpoint. The 14-year-old was also pulled “out of my lifted truck, causing her to land on the grass. She had bruises all over her ribs;” Andreina Mejia’s 15-year-old special needs son was removed at gunpoint from her car while in front of a school due to a case of obviously mistaken identify that, when discovered, led to no apology but instead an official joking “at least you’ll have an exciting story to tell when you go back to school;” M., a 6-year-old autistic U.S. citizen who was separated from her parents by ICE agents in an apparent attempt to lure her parents to leave private property so they could be apprehended. M. was violently ill upon being returned to her family and had to be treated in the emergency room, miss school for a week, and has continued to struggle with nightmares. There are new stories everyday of people being unlawfully harassed and detained. Citizens now fear their government, and I believe that is part of Trump's purpose.

I was talking about the moves the Trump Administration is making

You are misinformed

I have never, and this is false. OMFG - wake the f**k up!

And have you read anything about how ICE is terrorizing Americans?

Very few of you want to discuss the issues. It's never "let's examine what Trump is doing" - but rather a defensive posture is assumed, usually with a good amount of "whataboutism." There are real things going on right now in real time and they are certainly unprecedented and when I say "look what's going on" - I meet a wall of resistance that I believe is grounded in an unwillingness to to concede that some of it might be true. What I say won't be listened to - that would spell some kind of surrender for some of you, and you are all so wrapped up in being tough and in opposition. Give me something worth responding to. Give me something that make me think instead of the usual insults.

It's not about preventing terrorism, nimrod! it's about smothering dissent! I never defended Biden. I never said a word about Biden. I don't give a shit about Biden! But I see what is happening to the USA right now, and it is a grave cause of concern.

You guys, you are so funny. I am really trying to understand you. The main thrust seems to be: It's us vs. them. Of course, you learned this from Trump. Or is it just your toxic masculinity rearing its ugly head? Let's be clear, I don't run away. I just don't respond to posts that do not deserve a response because they are so stupid.

What I give you is facts that you have no rebuttal to. Come out into the light!!

You mistake my eye-rolling for anger. That the USA has sided with Russia is a topic to be taken seriously. It upends the entire world order. Get your head out of the sand.
