    “Another day Trump shows how guilty and complicit he is with Epstein, by releasing 2 million documents when he doesn’t have to. ”

    uh, ¿isn’t there a law saying these fetid fragments of foul filthinformation MUST be released?

    let’s take it from there, shall we?

    “The agents are wearing masks because different groups are actively publishing their identities and personal information online. ”

    After reading the news this morning and reflecting on that of yesterday i mused that the common man was the subject of Isaiah 53:7.
    Then i was drawn to Mak Twain

    “The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.” ~ Mark Twain

    “Every civilization carries the seeds of its own destruction, and the same cycle shows in them all. The Republic is born, flourishes, decays into plutocracy, and is captured by the shoemaker whom the mercenaries and millionaires make into a king. The people invent their oppressors, and the oppressors serve the function for which they are invented.” ~ Mark Twain

    “There are laws to protect the freedom of the press’s speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press” ~ Mark Twain

    “When the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man’s moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it? Shall you say, the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?” ~ Mark Twain

    “I think I can say, and say with pride, that we have some legislatures that bring higher prices than any in the world.” ~ Mark Twain

    “I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being-that is enough for me; he can’t be any worse.” ~ Mark Twain

    @ TDK

    I prefer that law enforcement not be masked. In light of the doxxing, I understand the masking…it is a dangerous precedent.
    However, this is a two-way street.
    By going after off-duty ICE and their families, protestors have broken the law.
    Harassment is illegal.
    Categorizing a swathe of people as “ICE,” family of ICE, and ICE supporters, seeing them as “enemy” and subsequently treating them as the “out-group” and declaring that they are deserving of ill-treatment…this is the exact type of human behavior that liberalism supposedly opposes. It is discriminatory. Thinking these thoughts is legal. Speaking these thoughts is legal, as long as it doesn’t rise to the level of harassment, threatening illegal action, etc.
    These actions on the part of the anti-ICE protestors are deliberate — they are trying to convince the rest of the nation to join their side in order to stop immigration enforcement throughout the country.
    Law enforcement should be identifiable, but their families and off-duty life should not be impinged by their profession, which is legitimate. Perhaps we need them to wear QR codes so that the ICE officers can be identified in photos and if they behave badly it can be addressed — but through legal means, not by harassing their families.

    the ss stormtroopers never wore masks.

    if you want to remove illegal migrants,

    you send

    unmasked, plain-clothesed officers

    to the hq

    of hilton hotels, smithfield “foods”, and waffle house

    and arrest the ceo’s.

    done.

    the rest is theatrics in a musical you want no part of.

    “the rest is theatrics in a musical you want no part of.” tdk
    well said!

    Funny how few want to remember Ronald Reagan and The New Conservatism and a New World Order that has led to this moment.

    Taking $70,000.00 (without bonuses or overtime) as the salary of an ICE agent the 700 ICE agents leaving were costing $134246.57 a day. I would like to know the cost per alien taken into custody of the MInnesota charade.

    Working under undeclared martial law and suspension of habeas corpus in violation of The United States Constitution might well make one a domestic enemy. While i agree that the families should remain inviolate the masked agents, whether on or off duty, are in violation of the spirit of The Preamble to The Constitution.Violence breeds violence.Contempt for the law breeds contempt for the law. We have known, without doubt since the Neuremberg trials that action under an unlawful order has no defense.

    It’s repeatedly amazing (to me, at least) how frequently it is true that the question which you would most benefit from having the answer to, is the one that never even occurs to you in the first place.

    It’s almost as if the unasked (utterly unthought of) question is one of those questions that the instant you do recognize it as a legitimate question, and one that should be explicitly asked (and answered!) you become aware….. without asking anything….. that you already know the answer because it is so clearly, plainly, almost axiomatically obvious. No one looking at that particular question would have any doubts of any kind whatsoever about what the answer was.

    It’s almost as if the question/answer are so devastatingly consequential, vitally important and horrifying, that you are literally AFRAID to know them. In fact, after a long life of deliberately and purposefully chasing down such questions as my primary activity (aside from just staying alive, which consumes a lot of time and effort just to stay in the game) I have come to firmly believe that this pretty much always the case.

    The most important questions that you really should ask as you slog your way through a complicated life, are the ones that you are afraid to ask because you already subconsciously know, in each case, what the answer is …….. and it’s a baddy.

    Let me give you a simple and timely example that is filling front pages around the world: The Epstein Files. In particular the photographs, but the emails and other text-based stuff as well (though not so plainly seen and understood.

    To say that their are lots of faces and names in that 3 million pages information is a gross understatement.

    It is also almost sarcastic to say that some of those faces and names are legible, and some of them have been blacked out (“redacted” is the currently popular euphemism) by a censor, and that the censor had the authority to “redact” that particular identity, as well as the intention to censor that identity as an assigned task as part of their paid job. Someone senior to that hireling censor had to have also had the authority, intention and job description to issue the order and verify that it had been done as directed.

    So, here’s the question:
    How did the redactors, the censors with the blackout pen and each of the people above them in the murky chain of command know who to redact and who to leave exposed to public scrutiny. Not only how did they know who needed to be erased, but WHY.

    Can’t really make that kind of decision without fully understanding, in quite minute detail, precisely why one is making it. Can’t decide without considering the choices, and then deciding. Can’t black out a particular and specific name or face of a perpetrator, victim or ignorant bystander without knowing who they are and why their name or face has to be kept secret.

    Those 3 million documents (and the reportedly millions more still being withheld) have been in government possession since the closing months of 2019. Carefully reviewing 5 or 6 million pages of information is a monumentally big job, and yet that job has been done so thoroughly that the censors were able to identify and censor out the identities of every person that they specifically wanted to, and for a specific reason in each instance, including the 80 or so alleged victims who were already previously known to the publicly accessible record.

    The ENTIRE apparatus of government is so fully and explicitly aware of the severity and factuality of the alleged crimes of all participants in the organized operations of the network Epstein ran on behalf of his employer that they are knowingly and deliberately obstructing justice in every way they can in order to keep it all an unpunished secret.

    That’s something that only devout criminals do. Everyone else wants truth and justice.

    Imagine the world as the expression of a sliding scale that runs from pure truth and love at the top, to utterly hateful lies at the bottom. God at one extreme and Satan at the other, with the rest of us swirling around somewhere in between as a murky middle, and getting murkier and murkier as get all get jammed up around that perilous tipping point between one or the other, good and bad.

    Round-the-world (RTW) flight tickets typically cost
    between $2,500 and $5,000+ per person in economy, heavily depending on stops, route, and timing. Airline alliance packages often start around $3,500–$4,500+ for multi-continent routes, while budget planning and specific route choices can bring costs under $2,000.

    Topcat the same people who enabled the immigration, transportation and re-settlement of millions of illegal immigrants are still sitting at their desks, including the conservative governors, who arranged transportation to bastions of liberalism and priviledge.The movement of the immigrants to the silver spoon communities being expensive cheap theater at best. Everyone who enables the transfer of federal funds to illegal immingrants is still sitting at their desk The owners of buildings housing illegal immigrants are still profiting from federal and state funding.

    Every transfer of budgeted federal funds has a date and time stamp. Proper audits and fifty ICE agents would harvest as much fraud and illegal immigaration as the snuff film that is Minnesota.

    Expediency always has obscure costs

    I’m sick of blind in one eye can’t see out of the other kneejerk, reactionary, law and order nincompoops blaming everyone else for the problems of my nation. My position on the go along to get along crowd who never risked anything in support of honor, duty or justice is a matter of record. They have not earned the right to disparage anyone or anythingbut themselves.
