Immigration and Customs Enforcement field offices across the country were verbally instructed by their superiors that they should no longer enter homes unless they have a judicial warrant, two Homeland Security officials told NBC News.

Because two anonymous DHS goons wouldn’t lie /s

Also, the fact that they (allegedly) did this verbally instead of putting it in writing pretty much guarantees it’s going to suddenly have never happened the moment an attorney tries to reference it in court

Next time Dems have control over the federal government they need to defund red state governments like red states do to their blue cities

Taking statements made by the Daily Mirror and an executive who did business with the Trump administration and was trying to fuck one of its members at face value is indeed a wild idea

There are legal mechanisms for the removal of elected officials

And yes woman are treated worse and often the fall girls for a corrupt admin. But it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be removed. They all need to be.

Fair enough, being willing to work for this administration in any capacity demonstrates a lack of either intellect or morals or both that ought to be disqualifying for any government jobs, but by the same token I’m not going to take an allegation from someone affiliated with this administration about one of their own at face value. If a trustworthy voice like a Democratic lawmaker comes forward and says “I have information showing this person is corrupt and needs to be removed” I would be prepared to believe them, but a complaint from an executive who was happy to do business with this administration is meaningless.

At the end of the day any Trump administration official being removed from their job is a good thing, but we really shouldn’t be taking claims made by anyone in their orbit at face value just because they’re saying things we want to hear.

Can you not think of a scenario where a Trump administration supporting executive would lie out of their asses to punish a woman who denied their advances?

Generally, once upon a time, people with bad financial situations did not get security clearance

The fucking president of the country might as well have his picture in the dictionary next to the entry on “bad financial situations,” if you genuinely believe that’s what this is about I’ve got a cryptocurrency to sell you

20+ years of voter suppression bullshit later and reasonable results like that are a lot harder to come by in the state of misery

We need to do something to prevent Blue Dogs from staying in office

Stuff like what? Being stalked?

I’m sure she’s a fucking piece of shit the world would be a better place without, but how is accepting voluntarily made gifts from someone else any kinda crime? There might be aspects to this we don’t know yet, but considering the original source for all of this is the Daily Mail and the Trump Administration I think it’s safe to assume this is 100% pure misogynistic bullshit and they’re just destroying the career of this woman (who thought the leopards wouldn’t eat her face) because she refused to fuck someone with the power to throw a tantrum about it.

Looks like your screenshot is a month out of date (arc)

Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s overall job performance, down slightly from 38% last month.

Whether a 5% drop is “slightly down” or “cratering” is a pretty subjective thing, but that’s a sharper decline than we have seen previously.

Yeah, unfortunately this is just making it easier for connected people to do what they want and sell what they want, but plebs are still going to be getting their asses kicked by shithead cops for having suspicious looking multivitamins

Saying someone is a good rage baiter when their shit posting puts them in prison is like saying Timothy Treadwell was good at taking care of bears

CNN found corroboration for key elements of each of the women’s claims, including the former staffer who said she was sexually assaulted.

I think that part’s the exclusive

I feel like if this was just a GOP plot they would hold off until Swalwell won the primary and the Dems were stuck with him

Hasn’t he taken AIPAC money?

It’s more than allegations, this person worked for Swalwell, people saw them together, theres copies of texts they sent a friend at the time saying Swalwell assaulted them, and medical records showing this person got a pregnancy and STI test around that time too. It’s circumstantial evidence and not smoking gun stuff, but it’s more than just allegations.

Not really, could be that this person just hoped this would go away and tried to forget about it but when they saw his name in the news and realized he could become governor and do what they claimed he did to someone else they felt the need to act

I’m kinda tempted to whip out that community meme with a “human rights violations I can stand, but I draw the line at market destabilization!”, but I’m pretty sure we’re imprisoning and brutalizing more Latinos and other migrants than China is Uyghurs and other marginalized communities over there at this point

The first step of the campaign was getting the average person to hate “politics” “the government” “Washington dc” etc., vague ideas instead of specific people and policies

Then it’s easy to sell people on the basic idea that “the government is too dumb and evil to help anyone even if it tried, but it can punish your enemies pretty good”
