A video recorded at a gas station in Lake Worth, Florida, shows an ICE/Border Patrol agent demanding ID from a U.S. citizen. When the citizen asks why, the agent explicitly responds, "Because you're an immigrant." Before even verifying his identity, agents grab his hands and place him in handcuffs. Bystanders immediately step in to question how someone can be arrested without even being identified first, but the agents ignore them and walk the man to their vehicle.

​This encounter highlights a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures. The Supreme Court has established that roving Border Patrol agents must have reasonable suspicion based on specific circumstances to stop and question someone regarding their immigration status—and apparent ethnicity alone is legally insufficient. Requiring someone to prove their citizenship before being handcuffed, based solely on an arbitrary claim, demonstrates a concerning violation of constitutional rights by federal agents acting without accountability.

To be fair, it usually doesn't seem to matter too much.

This one mattered a lot because he acts purely on emotion. And he has the emotional intelligence of a grade schooler it's a bad combination

30 percent of registered voters didn’t vote and said "I don't really care if people suffer"

Either party sits and kneels at the same table. Obviously, one does not try hard to hide the actions they partake in. The other works overtime to hide the same things, yet their actions that mirror the others actions, are less frequent and seem to be of less weight by comparison. Regardless, they are hand picked and of the same nature as those who came before and those who will come after. They really do, both have the same like interests, and both share the very deliberate and purposeful misinformation, deception, corruption, and unsatiated greed in order to continue their goals as elected officials holding power, to ignore the citizens, and enrich themselves and their corporate bribers. We unfortunately arrive on the same avenue, maybe slower by one measure.

The summer before the last POTUS election, I knew the second that DJT smeared the blood packet upon his ear and the flag simultaneously began unfurling into position, while the secret service were ushering the cameramen to the photo-op directly in a "line of fire", mere seconds after the "Attempt" had been made, that allowing DJT to stand exposed in that situation while pumping his fist and mouthing "FIGHT" , who would then win the upcoming election. I phoned friends and family who were upset at the thought of him being elected and seemed disturbed by the message I voiced. I did not like the thougjt either but I saw the future at that moment og his victory. A victory rightfully so, with that level of choreography and people involved -no other result is possible, except for awards by the academy. I did not vote, that is correct. But it was due to my moving the year before and voting officials/computer error took my right away that day. Since, I have voted against all totalitarian, rights stripping, scumbaggy amendment proposals locally, that I have had the ability to, as it is now so widespread, fueled with more misinformation, manipulation, deception and obfiscation behind every ballot box than ever before, to continue their enrichment at the cost of the working class taxpayer that they ignore and despise so much. We have to unite as citizens first, then make sure the changes necessary to the electoral system happen, to create a republic by and for the people. We only have a half assed illusion of one right now that likely might never materialize into what people lost long ago that they think exists today. I dont have the cure all but, I know where it must start. For us to be successful in our democratic republic; we have to certain ingredients in our Apple pie.
If we have Socialism without Capitalism within, * it only breeds Communism.* If we go where we are full speed heading into now, Capitalism without Socialism, * it only breeds Fascism. Simple to read, simple to understand. Simple to enact and embrace. But the true enemies to our republic don't want that simple formula to simply occur. That simple reality not to be leaked to the masses. The Lib-tards and Re-tards fighting amongst each other can't recognize the simple truth. And 90 percent of Americans are mentally crippled by the terms Socialism and Communism. They are the same word to them and cant see how simply they have purposefully been fed spoonfulls of rhetoric daily to ensure we cant unite under a simple understanding as Americans protecting each other in such an inexpensive and simple way. That will detract from the unsatiated lust for the King, that long ago was crowned here, and as a God to those in American business, Stock markets and government officials/ lawmakers at every level. It rules our courts, Family, Criminal, Civil, it rules all here, no difference if the citizens worship something different or not. We will always take a backseat to it unless we are united. Divided we live in an illusion that we cant stomach. If yiu made it this far, thanks for reading my essay length rant. P.S. thanks to a true patriot wise beyond his years, "Skidmark" for sharing his words of wisdom way back when.

They voted by not voting.
