    “Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who killed Good, suffered internal bleeding to his torso during the encounter, a Homeland Security official told The Associated Press”

    The fuck he did.

    What would deploying armed troops to the streets do to quell protests against armed troops in the streets?

      It’ll further distract the public from the pedophile being ousted, also he plans on this getting much more out of hand so he can declare martial law… and BOOM… the piece of shit can cancel midterm elections because he’s a scared little pedophile and knows he’s cooked.

          How so? Voting doesn’t start till March. The primaries in November. Republicans control all branches currently, if the pedophile cancels midterms they’ll still have control.

            Campaigning and fundraising is already happening but both parties. If there weren’t going to be midterms, the GOP would not be freaking out about them, campaigning, or fundraising. And they are freaking out about them.

            But most importantly there is no such thing as “canceling midterms.” States run them, not the federal government. I will be at the polls in November and for the primaries before that and you should be too.

            This is just moving the goalposts anyway. I was told that we would never have elections again. We had a lot of them in 2025 and they went very well for the Democrats. Then I was told midterms wouldn’t happen. Well they’re sure about to. And now it’s already moving to “midterms will happen but there will be voter suppression.” Yeah, welcome to America. There’s always been voter suppression. And we vote and make progress anyway.

      Don’t be silly, she would have done the exact same thing or something. They are basically the same person, don’t ya know. Republicans and democrats are the exact same, and my write in vote for my cat was the morally correct choice.

    And we are still going to protest around the US. We citizens are united with Minneapolis folks.

    Also by doing this what stops people from now attacking the military, ICE, and DHS since we will already be in the locked down people are worried about.
