Abernathy is a Trump appeaser and apologist, by which I don't mean that he is MAGA himself, but he makes excuses for Trump and tries to present Trump has having at least some rational and beneficial motives and methods. There is certainly some truth to what Abernathy says about the far left, but we are really somewhat past that point with respect to resistance to Trump. In Trump's second term there is every justification for resistance to a federal regime that is progressing toward fascist dictatorship. Yes, the Dems should reverse course and reduce the level of influence from the far left within the party. No, the Dems should not shy away from using every legal method, as well as non-violent public protest, to counter MAGA fascism.
Enforcing our democratically passed immigration laws under the Constitution by arresting and deporting them is the definition of rational and beneficial.
That is hysterical paranoia and hate speaking. There is no "progress toward a fascist dictatorship" anywhere but in the minds of the mad.
They don't use "non-violent protest"; they use violence, which is why physical attacks on ICE agents went up 1300% in 2025, why they're throwing things at ICE as detailed in the article, why Good tried to run over an ICE agent, etc.
Deporting immigrants is secondary to establishing detention centers and a masked Gestapo whose own documents assert a right to ignore the Fourth Amendment.
That's a ridiculous lie. Any sane person would dispute that deporting illegals are secondary to "establishing detention centers" or having a "masked police force". They're masked because of the Left's doxxing and seeking to have them harmed.
Also, it's the other side that loves totalitarianism, not us.
Regular police survive having names, or at least badge numbers. What makes ICE so special? I imagine regular police face much greater threats from criminals. “Doxxing” law enforcement officers is our right, as a way to prevent misconduct.
That's a requirement of cults: information from those who are not in the cult must be disregarded, no matter how factually correct it might be. Yes, I am MAGA, and to the cult of hate, that negates all of the indisputable facts which I posted above.
Find a rational argument instead of using the accusation of "Heretic"!
Perfectly rational and unbiased to call out facts in evidence for what they represent. Everything you claim is consistent with MAGA ideology and propaganda. You are MAGA.
Facts don't "represent" anything, except to those who deny the very idea of reality. What I posed was factual, but those consumed by hate will deny it without ever posting any contradictory facts, because there are none.
The biggest threats to the west are open borders, net zero and cultural Marxism. You don’t have to like Trump, but the Dems currently support all these initiatives.
Until Insane Clown's goons respect the presumption of innocence instead of breaking doen every door and sweeping everyone inside and them required to prove their innocence they are not law enforcement just criminals with badges.
The "process" followed by Insane Clown's goons was bashing in every door in sight and sweeping up everyone inside. Because it's a hell of a lot easier and more convenient that way for you Nazis isn't it.
Verifying immigration status is a process; there is no "presumption of innocence". No, the criminals are the ones opposing the enforcement of federal law and attacking ICE officers.
The violence has been instigated by TRUMP'S THUGS. Kidnapping people off the street without 'cause' is a violation of American civil rights. Breaking the law of the land is what Trump is doing. Two unarmed 'demonstrators' were MURDERED. That is why are country in CHAOS. As you have stated, YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO MINNIAPOLIS! You are defending the anarchy inspired by presidential decree. Have you no shame? Yes, you're right, if this GESTAPO like rule of law continues, there will be consequences. Trump has made no secret of his ambition to be KING or DICTATOR. To compare him to Lincoln is ridiculous. Lincoln wanted to preserve the union. Trump wants to destroy it. Peaceful unarmed demonstrators are being attacked by armed THUGS, Trump's private army. This is NOT responsible policing. Please explain why these hired THUGS must have masks? Being a undocumented immigrant is not a FELONY. It is a MISDEMENOR. It does not qualify as a crime deserving INCARCERATION.
They wear masks to INTIMIDATE. Real police do not wear masks because they are LEGALLY doing their duty. ICE agents wear masks to HIDE their identities because they are ware that they are acting illegally. Trump has turned the entire definition of guilty and innocent on it's head. Do you not know the difference between a 'FELLONY and a MISDEMEANOR? The BS is that you have partaken of is the KOOL-ADE that the mentally incompetent president has served you.
Attacks on ICE agents were up 1300% in 2025 as opposed to 2024, with plenty of leftists calling for doxxing them. Yes, the masks are worn for safety from the criminals who oppose law enforcement.
Everything ICE is doing is legal. What is illegal is to be in our country without authorization. According to the law, all illegals must be deported.
MURDERING UNARMED AMERICANS IS LEGAL? I asked you if you know the difference between a FELONY and a MISDEMEANOR. Apparently you don't. Your "1300%" is erroneous. It's more like 20% and instigated by the reckless actions of the THUGS called ICE. Remember, the 'demonstrators' are unarmed, whereas the THUGS look like they're about to go to war in Ukraine. Why don't the THUGS have warrants signed by a judge? Because the only probable cause is skin color. To support Trump is to support DICTATORSHIP. Like his "agents" he is OUT OF CONTROL.
Good was being arrested and told to get out of the car after obstructing justice. She responded by gunning it, hitting an ICE agent and giving him internal bleeding, so she was justifiably shot in self-defense.
Pretti perhaps should not have been shot, but he attacked ICE agents, so my sympathy is limited.
Wrong, even TNR, a progressive outlet, admits physical attacks on ICE agents are up 640%. What do you expect, when liars call ICE Gestapo and leftists encourage attacking them?
No, the thugs are those attacking ICE. ICE agents have been shot at, hit by SUV's, and now many protesters are throwing things at them. Claiming they're "unarmed" is a lie.
An excellent example of ignorance of the law. ICE doesn't have warrants signed by judges because they don't NEED warrants!" ICE does not need judicial warrants to make arrests. Like all other law enforcement officers, ICE officers and agents can initiate consensual encounters and speak with people, briefly detain aliens when they have reasonable suspicion that the aliens are illegally present in the United States, and arrest people they believe are illegal aliens. ICE officers and agents can also detain and search people crossing the border." FAQ about ICE
Leftists always think their emotions should trump the rule of law. That's what makes them enemies of the law, democracy, and the Constitution.
Mr. Mitchel, you have apparently not LOOKED AT THE VIDIEOS of either incident. Good did not 'GUN' the car. She was following instructions and slowly turning away. The agent whipped oout his piece and MURDERED her. In Pretti''s case, he was shielding a fallen woman from being accosted by an armed agent when he was assassinated by two agents.. Or do you think it takes 10 shots, at a man on the ground to subdue him? Yes, he had a LEGALLLY REGISTERED weapon IN HIS POCKET. But it was not being brandished. ln both instances, the victims were American citizens. In both instances, they were not immigrants. Also, they were not brown skinned people. Thety were bit crossing any borders. I am not a 'leftist'. I am an American veteran who knows that our country is being destroyed by a MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. As to the rule of law, REAL police officers don't wear masks, but they do wear body cameras. REAL police show ID. REAL police do NOT MURDER SUSPECTS. REAL police are accountable. These are hired THUGS, hired to create CHAOS so you won't pay attention to the destruction. Mr. Mitchell, you have been drinking the KOOL-ADE.
You have a imperfect understanding of current events, ....and that's just for starters. This is the usual drivel by those hanging on for dear life to the current administrations policies and actions.
Wheras leftists always believe they have a PERFECT understanding of current events! This despite the fact that far-lefitsts governments mass-murdered 100 million people for the crime of politically disagreeing with them during the 20th century, and the modern Left has learned nothing from that.
Take a break from pushing Orwellian propaganda and catch a few flying dildos, Gary.

Quite the hysterical, hate-filled paranoia there, Andrew. Professionals can help with that.
Every fact there except "Gestapo" is not even disputed.
