My bets are on nothing ever happening.

I doubt they will. Their USAID funding for terrorizing the American people has run dry, and the system isn't in the mood to tolerate another summer of love right now. There will be dysgenic 20-somethings who break a window or set something on fire, but the institutional support for this shit is not there right now.

When Trump faced this kind of scenario in 2020 he blinked first. He has already won his second term now though. Nothing to lose. I’ve been thinking about this problem lately. From my perspective, America has a pretty advanced surveillance apparatus. So that means that these lefty types are either brilliant organisers (in the sense that they know how to politically organise to do illegal shit and get away with it) or they’re allowed to do this by the government (The truth is probably somewhere in between).

I also think that the fact that this is happening to you guys at all is very alarming. In many third world countries, it would be simply trivial for people to behave like this every time the government upsets them. And in some places this really does happen. But it’s not very common. We’re talking about places like Libya here. My point in bringing this up is to make the point that “they do it because they know they can get away with it” is an answer that doesn’t address the fundamental question of WHY they want to do it at all.
I find it VERY strange how this disorder could happen in such a rich and developed country. What explains this? How did these people learn how to organise in such a sophisticated way?
Do you think it could be possible to actually study this phenomenon academically? I am thinking about producing a research paper on this if it is possible.

Says he's positive Epstein killed himself. No, you may not see any of the video footage nor any of these other, new claims that contradict the older claims, such as security guards actually being around when he did it. He claims there's video of the guards being there. No, you may not have it yet. We know this would provide important context to the American public, but the FBI really needs to investigate the matter thoroughly first. This new, not-corrupt FBI really values transparency which is why these things you ask for can't come out until we're sure of... things.

Guy directly under Trump leading the FBI everybody.

I'm sure the Epstein files being over four months late and all of the insane, illogical bullshit surrounding it absolutely are not indicative of Trump's guilt.

Holy fucking shit. He could release them tomorrow to make this all go away, still doesn't. Mark it now, the Epstein files will remain undisclosed or will be disclosed as heavily redacted as the OG JFK releases were, by the end of his presidency.

[Hooked on phobics]

Honestly the cops and feds should target the babies. I bet a good pepper ball choking a baby is perfect way to get one less spic with an IQ of 80 stealing from normal working citizens.

I wouldn't go that far, but we need to destigmatize people facing reasonable consequences. Its SICKENING how too many people will act retarded but claim victim when OBVIOUS consequences happen

great example is people getting onto highways to protest. PERFECTLY REASONABLE for someone to assume you would be hit, so I think if you DO get hit being obnoxious, anyone who did it should be 100% innocent, even if they killed you. Just consider it suicide at that point

 

[Wodanaz]

I am not saying you need to forgive Elon but i am saying he did nothing to you so why are you angry at him?

he hates me for being white and wants to enslave my people by drowning them in low IQ indians. nothing matters to him but the bottom line, and anything that gets in the way of that is his enemy. cope.

Game recognizes game. This is the same woman who "advocated" a medal away from Ana Barbosu for the sake of a photo-op.

Oh yea, and she quit on her team, and individual events, for "mental health" reasons. But she has her medals, though, right? She already got her sponsorships and ad deals, so why would she care if other women get the opportunities she did?
This shit is why I fucking hate sports.

Protestors have been given an order to disperse, and have made a make shift blockade to prevent law enforcement from being able to get cars/trucks through.

They are preparing to clash with federal agents and local police.

Most of America isn't rich. LA is the greatest divide you will ever see between rich and poor. And unlike Bongland, you can walk down a street and not see a camera. Its also huge. Things slip between the cracks of the machine easy. The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Right now some cult in DA WOODZ could be planning a attack, and guess what. Nobody would fucking know. It's the middle of nowhere. Then they drive an hour back home like nothing happened. We aren't small like euro countries

Pallets of cement bricks within striking distance of the ICE agents have been discovered in Paramount, California.

There’s no other pallets around, some are in the back of the gate, but these are in front of the gate. Protestors apparently threw these bricks at ICE agents.

One of the few instances where the militarization of the police is a good thing

 

[Buttigieg2020]

Job growth is still exponential for immigrants and not much has changed since 2020.

It’s nice of you to use January data for that point. I too wish Trump could remotely fire Latinx before he was in office.

Footage from a couple hours ago:
Federal agents are facing off with protestors in Paramount California in ongoing weekend protests. Local source there says it sounds and looks like a war zone, explosions everywhere.

This is what the aftermath looks like after ICE agents face off with protestors.

Fire embers, smell of mace and tear gas, and thousands of empty pellets and gas canisters.

Good to see them actually do this. Of all the people in this admin i believe Homan is actually putting in 110%. Every time he hasn't done more it's because he was stopped.

Shocking Video Shows Border Patrol Vehicle Attacked With Rocks at Anti-ICE Protest in Paramount, CA

Intense footage captured from inside a CBP vehicle shows Border Patrol agents under attack as protesters hurl rocks during today’s anti-ICE protest in Paramount, California.

The video reveals the vehicle’s windows and windshield shattering on impact, with one large rock piercing through the glass and leaving a gaping hole.

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) border patrol cars and trucks were stoned Saturday during a protest near a detention center in Paramount, California.

In honor of the past summer of love.

TOTAL ILLEGAL DEPORTATION.
Deport illegals. Report illegals to ICE. Handcuff illegals. Toss illegals over the wall. Throw dirty brown illegals in camps. Separate illegal children from their illegal parents. Put illegals on planes and fly them to CECOT. Bash rioters skulls in. Drown illegals in tequila. Bomb Mexico with salted nukes.

 

[FatalTater]

I hope the protestors know that their deaths have been prayed for.
Candles were lit and everything.
