Because that’s sure what it appears to be with masked vigilantes.

Well, Tom when you open a concentration camp in horrible conditions for people who haven't committed crimes, whom hateful MAGA supporters have nicknamed Alligator Auschwitz, and when your masked goon agents indiscriminately snatch people off the streets of America, don't you think the Nazi comparison is valid?

BTW: You're kind of like Adolf Eichmann and Steve Miller is like Heinrich Himmler

Homan is more like Ernst Rohm...and I hope he ends up like Rohm did, given an option...

Miller is definitely more like Eichmann then he is Himmler!

They are acting like the Geheime Staatspolizei (Gestapo for short) or the Komityet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopastnosti (KGB for short)—not the actual ruling parties, themselves, but the cruel, feared secret police that totalitarian regimes always seem to feel the need to set up to keep themselves in absolute power.

You make these assertions without proof. You have concocted this meme to justify the ICE goons anonymously abducting people off the street and in their homes and workplaces.

SHOW US WHERE THE HELL ALL THIS DOXING IS TAKING PLACE!

https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/law-and-life/when-do-federal-agents-need-to-identify-themselves/
regulations state that an ICE agent should identify themselves as a federal agent and state the reason for the arrest "as soon as it is practical and safe to do so."


I'd say when 8 ICE agents tackle and beat a "suspect' simultaneously it is both practical and safe to identify themselves at that point, yet they are not doing so.

... all over the morning news in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. South Dakota Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is partnering with ICE to recruit and train new ICE agents. My first thought was it will be the worst of the worst of the gun nuts and anti-government creeps (Watertown/northeast South Dakota area- Cosplay Barbie's home turf ).

...that the DCI, South Dakota State Police, and many, if not most, local police jurisdictions are part of the 287(g) program as well, which essentially makes state/local law enforcement officers ICE officers.

... I wasn't exactly sure what the "287" signified, so I didn't mention it. They been talking about the "cooperation" between South Dakota state agencies and ICE for months.

Oh well, off to Marlin's Roadway truck stop for breakfast.

Thanks.

That interview was as sticky as bacon frying in a pot of Crisco. Another reason Blow's show is a scab on MSNBS's lineup. He's a POS.
