The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

Yes, Trump did say the bloke murdered shouldn’t have been carrying a legal gun in a holster which was taken off him
I guess he is finally coming round to the idea that citizens walking round with guns is insane 
Maybe that’s progress … or a bit more dementia 

[Council Scum]

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

give me your illegal alien criminals
your societal outcasts, yearning to live here for free
the generous refuge of a corrupt benefits system galore  (in return for their vote one day)
NO send the gangbangers, drug dealers and rapists back 
and shut the fucking door.

Doesn't that perfectly describe New York at its inception?

So because a City a few hundred years ago was infested with immigrants and crime, they should all be happy to go back to that, for the sake of more immigrants who still live like it was 200 years ago?

Great, lets just go back a few hundred years and be done with it, progress is over rated anyway.

they at least vetted immigrants for being 'of good character' back in the day (when we REALLY needed immigration) instead of just throwing open the border to everyone and anyone like Biden did.

Now ICE is trying to clean up the mess by getting out those who are here and wanted for crimes. I don't get why some on the left are so keen on protecting criminals, gang members, rapists etc.  Their protests are more designed to sow chaos in genral and they are not blameless in the deaths of the two people (that they radicalized) at the hands of ICE

Kinda odd that it’s only Minnesota that has this chaotic issue with ICE.
Do you think it might have something to do with the state It’s Governor and other elected officials being investigated for massive fraud? 

You probably know more than most if that's true or not, not familiar with Minnesota politics, what I did find laughable is certain republican commenters suddenly deciding legally carrying a gun is provocative 

Billions been defrauded through fake somali business that receive government funding, like day care, a percentage of which seems to have then found it's way to democrat slush funds or democrat ngo (left wing domestic terrorist paramilitary organisations waging asymmetric warfare).

The Cam Higby infiltration of the domestic terrorist signal groups organising the paramilitary operations against the government has revealed some interesting bad actors, including it seems high profile names linked directly to Tampon Tim.

It’s quite sad, as an onlooker, to see military occupation of some American cities and the accompanying slide into a facist like authoritarianism. Quite something too to hear people being spun a narrative that is counter to what they have seen.

It’s the blue cities that are the sanctuary cities, which is why we have this problem.

Tom Homan the man in charge of deporting illegal immigrants, he did it for Obama too but it was ok back then.

The referendum was for AV not PR which was a massive foul up by Nick Clegg. That combined with the tuition fees thing and caving in on Andrew Lansley's terrible and expensive health reforms is a sorry record.

ICE are, effectively, the Federal government's brownshirts inflicting fear and punishment on all in blue cities only.
The irony of a guy getting murdering for exercising his first and second amendment rights is painful.
Much as I disagree with open carry, our gun laws are about right, the second amendment is there precisely to counter a federal government  overreaching its constitutional powers.
I have a firearms license and own a rifle but it stays in the armoury of my shooting club.

ICE doing stuff without checking Thick Cunts...... 

.ICE deported a man charged over the 'largest jewellery heist in US history' before he could face trial - ABC News

A man accused of helping orchestrate a jewellery heist described by authorities as the largest in US history may never face trial.

Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores faced a maximum 15 years in jail if convicted of his alleged role in stealing about $147 million worth of gold, gems and luxury watches in 2022.

Despite prosecutors' efforts to secure a conviction, Mr Flores was detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and deported without their knowledge.

It feels like a turning point for the administration and their approach to immigration. This on top of the last couple of weeks has been damaging for the republicans and that seems to be sinking in.

I’d agree with that, however MN will have to make concessions on their Sanctuary City protections. They can’t simply keep hiding illegal criminals from ICE agents and allowing them to walk the streets. They need to start co-operating.

Whilst Comma craves PR,he is no fan of democracy. He proved this time and again in the aftermath of the Brexit referendum.
