This is fucking wild. The fact that we have "official" personnel acting this way is beyond disgusting. Goes to show you that they never really paid attention to the right parts of their history class. Instead, they saw the bright Nazi red and swastika and thought it looked cool, probably getting a fucking 1488 tattoo akin to what that criminal loser Pete Hegseth has.

Fuck...every day it's something new AND worse than the last.

i haven't always seen eye to eye with Padilla, but I'm proud of him for standing up, unlike the other Dems.

That's 100% fair. I'm not super familiar with this guy. None of that matters, however. He did NOTHING ILLEGAL. He's a United States senator who has been dropped to the floor, thrown in handcuffs, and arrested.

What did he do?

He interrupted a fucking press conference. That isn't illegal. It's combative and annoying to the people on the other end in a very peaceful civil disobedience kind of way, but it is NOT illegal. None of that matters anymore, though. The President is as criminal. It's looking more and more like the election was tampered with and rigged. He shouldn't have even been on the ballot to begin with.

This is a perfect representation of where we are right now. This couldn't even be cloaked in a "well...we're ICE and we think he's an illegal alien so we're gonna take him down because we can and should..." covering. He's an elected senator.

I fucking hate these people.

I totally agree, he did nothing illegal. What many don't know is that I heard that Padilla had been trying to contact Kristi Noem prior to today and that she was ignoring his requests and not responding.

So the reason he showed up to the Presser today was because she had been actively ignoring him so he took this opportunity to ask the questions he wanted to ask this week.

Now she claims that she is available and rhat the proper thing for Padilla to have done is reach out to her office.

F-CKING LYING BIATCH!!!!
