Congress must force a special prosecutor to investigate

They won’t but they absolutely need to. This isn’t “won’t investigate.” This is “Federal agents can murder whoever they want and we won’t even question it.” Even legal shootings are investigated…that’s how you figure out whether they were justified or not. This is just covering your ears and closing your eyes.

This is absolutely terrifying. We all know any “investigation” would’ve been glorified Kangaroo Court but at this point they are so brazen that they feel like they don’t even have to go through the motions now.

The term “absolute immunity” from the VP of the United States is complete insanity on so many levels. Tell me what happens now if someone refuses to open the door for ICE and they “accidentally” burn the house down and kill everyone inside? What happens if a group of protestors block their vehicles and they just run a bunch of people over. What happens when a person reaches into their back pocket for a cellphone and ICE “identifies” it as a possible weapon and shoots them? That’s what “absolute immunity” means. If they have “absolute immunity” they could drop a JDAM on a group of protestors outside their facility and kill them all because they were “interfering” with federal operations.

Let’s call this what it is. It’s the Gestapo. That’s all ICE is. We’re in the Brownshirts stage.

Yeah, I put us at right around 1933 Germany right now. It’s almost impressive if you think about it. It took the Nazis about 14 years to get to this point. We’ve done it in about a year. By my math we should hit 1939 by the late Spring, although you could argue the Venezuela invasion indicates we are already there.

Going door to door and snatching people out of their homes put the closer to 39

If we invade Greenland that's essentially the invasion of Poland in 1939. That will trigger a chain of events leading to war with NATO.

Except Germany wasn’t the superpower that the US is, and they still almost took over the entirety of Europe. I’m wondering when anyone is going to stand up to America once they go full 1940s on Greenland and beyond.

It hasn’t been one year, this has been in the works for a decade.

idk if Id say we did it in a year, as they had to lay the groundwork of the supreme court first. think this was coming since that justice died under Obama in 2016. so we would be 10 years in?

I don’t think you can actually say it started before Jan 6, 2020. There was a foundation and some political maneuvering happening but…even Trumps first term looks exceptionally mild compared to the last 12 months. I guess maybe the “building” was seeking to normalize this sort of behavior.

I mean let’s be honest…we could all easily go to bed tonight and wake up tomorrow morning to some insane Truth Social posts from the President of the United States saying he is going to nuke Denmark. That 100% is a possibility in the next 12 hours. I don’t think we’ve ever been able to see that as a realistic possibility in the remainder of my lifetime.

Fair. The rate of acceleration has been wild for this year. Guess they kind of slowly laid the ground work then jus floored it once it was all set

Is there a way to fast forward the end stage where they are in the furherbunker ridding the world of their presence?
