a situation more akin to that in Portland, where Customs and Border Protection officers shot two people

Border patrol… in Oregon? Oregon is not on the border. So, a President with an open borders policy can do anything he wants anywhere in the country for any reason or no reason?

Republicans call that “small government”.

That’s one interpretation. Another is that he and his pals don’t want even DoJ — these goons are ICE — to get hold of his electronic devices. I think Ross has been indulging himself in internet abominations of a sexual and Nazi nature.

Well, it does little for anyone not in the power elite.

Perhaps they are moving his porn to a new address, so that he’s not harassed at home

ICE goon falls on ice. ICE goon gun goes off. It’s cool. ICE goon gun bullet could have killed a terrorist sleeping in her crib.

Who is The Left? Surely an abstract noun is not capable of such villainy.

In a flippant violation of clearly defined policy, President Donald Trump posted data from the unreleased Bureau of Labor Statistics December jobs report on social media the night before the report was published.

I wouldn’t at all be surprised if he did this just to show he can with no one able to stop him. Thanks to SCOTUS, he’s basically immune from domestic laws, and now he’s claiming he’s not subject to international laws, rules, or treaties. In fact, the only thing that can constrain him is something that doesn’t exist - his morality.

Didn’t it take awhile before they arrested the cop who murdered George Floyd?

From the comments: it’s not clear if his gun went off or flashlight did or snow from his boot caught the light. Still, fun to watch.

I took a screenshot of what Grenell posted. It said, “Donald Trump is a Russian agent.”

Does he need a printout, or is that good enough?

  • a Morning Memo Live event at the National Union Building in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 29 beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET. *

Will the rest of the country (and world) also get to see this “live”? Or will the MM be delayed until its usual time, close to noon? (Or the next day?)

You lucky New Yorkers! Live TPM events AND a socialist mayor!

DHS has again tweeted literal nazi propaganda. “We Will Have Our Home Again” is a popular slogan used regularly within the white nationalist sphere, based on a song of the same title. In Portland 2022, now-defunct nazi group RCN hung a banner with the phrase. Antifascists repainted it the same day.

two nazis on an overpass with a banner hanging that has been redacted. the banner said "we will have our home again"

the same banner that the nazis were photographed with, hanging in the same spot, but repainted to say "kill nazis again" with an AFA flag symbol.

I don’t think that was his gun. I watched the video and I agree with some of the later comments that it looks like his flashlight. I took it frame by frame and you see the light shining, on the sidewalk, not a muzzle flash from the holster. And in the single frame, you see how it gets wider.

I see now that someone already clipped that frame for me -
