Originally published at: The Feverish View From Stephen Miller’s Office - TPM – Talking Points Memo
The intense backlash against the ongoing immigration raids in Minnesota and the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents has led to some backpedaling and a reported tone shift from the White House. The much vaunted toning down even included a rare moment of moderation and mea culpa from one of President Trump’s most notoriously…

Justice Department charges man who squirted vinegar on Rep. Ilhan Omar
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Justice Department has charged a man who squirted apple cider vinegar on Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar at an event in Minneapolis, according to court papers made public Thursday.
The man arrested for Tuesday’s attack, Anthony Kazmierczak, faces a charge of forcibly assaulting, opposing, impeding and intimidating Omar, according to a complaint filed in federal court.
Authorities determined that the substance was water and apple cider vinegar, according to an affidavit. After Kazmierczak sprayed Omar with the liquid, he appeared to say, “She’s not resigning. You’re splitting Minnesotans apart,” the affidavit says**. Authorities also say that Kazmierczak told a close associate several years ago that “somebody should kill” Omar, court documents say**.
Kazmierczak appeared briefly in federal court Thursday afternoon. His attorney, Jean Brandl, told the judge her client was unmedicated at the time of the incident and has not had access to the medications he needs to treat Parkinson’s disease and other serious conditions he suffers from.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Dulce Foster ordered that Kazmierczak remain in custody and told officials he needs to see a nurse when he is transferred to the Sherburne County Jail.
Kazmierczak also faces state charges in Hennepin County for terroristic threats and fifth-degree assault, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced Thursday.

However, while Miller walked back claims Pretti was a “domestic terrorist,” on social media, he and his team have continued to promote a paranoid narrative that the people protesting ICE are violent and even reminiscent of armed insurgents in the Middle East.
It is all they know. Even when put back on their heels, they still do the same thing over and over. They can’t even read the room when they have read the room. This lack of flexibility is going to be their end.
At no time will there be a truly felt mea culpa.
Say the words, back to business as usual.

It is one of the evils of democratical governments, that the people – not always seeing or frequently misled – must often feel before they can act.

Notice whenever dt is humiliated he does some new egregious shit to try to show aggressive manliness? Embarrassed by the Epstein vote, he pivots to threatening Greenland. Embarassed by Europe’s threat to tank our economy by calling our debt, he pivots to having the thugs marauder in Minnesota. Embarassed by the murders of American citizens protesting he calls to jail Obama and seizes voting records from 2020. When he’s Embarassed that goes nowhere, well, what’s next?

Absolutely. Standard character trait. I suspect his dad instilled that in him. Similar personalities, though I think his father was far more effective in his evil.
Consider this, if Donald had been truly competent, evil or not, what would his empire look like today. Not built of shaky and highly questionable alliances. Everything in Donald’s world is subject to the first sign of weakness and incapacity. He always has to express strength which in his world is aggression.

“When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers … you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies,” the man wrote.
“And, we don’t have to worry about why they might take to insurgency; because, …”

Absolute requirements for DHS funding bill: Miller and Noem must be fired. No masks for ICE agents. Body cameras on each ICE agent. Personal ID on each agent’s uniform. Judicial warrant required for an arrest. Accountability and independent review of agents’ actions commensurate with the practices of city police forces. And then we can discuss either reducing funding or clawing back some of the BBB bucks.

reposted a lengthy message from a man identifying himself as a special forces veteran who compared rapid responders to Middle Eastern insurgents because they are tracking ICE vehicles, have encrypted group chats, and are receiving “mutual aid from sympathetic locals.”
Absolutely a real person and not somebody made up by the 4th Reich or a Russian bot.
