Just want to clear something up

Any person with minimal training could have made the shot from 200 yards. Military marksman, lowest rated specialized shooting badge, at least in the 1980s, was only required to hit a torso sized target at 400 yards with an M-16 with a peep sight. I know, because this is how I earned my badge.

Anyone, with minimal training could hit a head or neck shot with a hunter rifle at 200 yards.

Just saying, I see a lot of nonsense here about a pro hit job. What happened today was not that.

A pro with a sniper rifle would have made the same shot from at least 1.5 miles away.

MAGA is Mad

They are Mad because their own beliefs led to the murder of one of their voices.

They are Mad because they can’t say a fucking word about it without sounding like a hypocritical piece of shit, which they are.

They are Mad because, how dare anyone who doesn’t agree with them use their own weapons against them.

They are Mad because they have nothing else to stand on.

They never gave a shit about victims of gun violence… until one of their own suffered the consequences of their own beliefs.

They are Mad because they have no empathy for anyone but MAGA.

They are Mad.

Today I Learned 10-12 Citizens in Texas had a Shootout at an ICE Facility in TX

On the 4th of July!!!

It was an organized ambush that used coordinated tactics to draw out agents.

I did not see or hear about this anywhere in the news, from friends or family or even on social media until yesterday on Reddit.

If you search for the story, there is basic print copy that looks like it was copy/pasted directly from ICE’s website.

Here is NBC’s take:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna217449

10 charged after ambush at Texas' ICE detention center

The Department of Justice filed a criminal complaint on Monday against 10 people who allegedly "organized an ambush" at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Texas on the Fourth of July.

Each individual has been charged with three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and three counts of discharging a firearm during and in relation to a violent crime, according to the complaint.



The individuals fled the scene but were later apprehended, including Bradford Morris, who was taken into custody during a traffic stop. When Morris was detained, an officer discovered multiple firearms, including two AR-15-style rifles, ballistic vests and a helmet in his car, the complaint states.

"Morris admitted that he had been at the Prairieland Detention Center and claimed that he met some people online and transported some of them down from Dallas to the Prairieland Detention Center to 'make some noise,'" court records showed.


The fact the story seems suppressed and the way it is told sends up huge red flags.

Either it happened and the government asked the media to suppress the story, or it didn’t happen and ICE is trumping up charges against protestors.

If the former, it could be because ICE is trying to recruit agents and does not want this story to impact recruitment. ICE is offering big salaries and signing bonuses to unqualified recruits.

If the latter, it would not surprise me to see more folks quietly charged with crimes they didn’t commit.

I think the DNC needs a damn shake up!

DEMS’ MESSAGING NERDS URGED PARTY NOT TO TALK ABOUT TRUMP’S MILITARY TAKEOVER

Donald Trump is waging a fascist takeover of the United States, siccing the Justice Department on his political enemies while deploying federal troops to “liberate” Washington, D.C., where crime has been steadily declining. Democratic politicians are responding the only way they know how: by heeding the advice of the wonks who helped get them into this situation in the first place — and whose advice is to avoid discussing what Trump is doing.

Blue Rose Research, the firm led by Democratic establishment darling David Shor, produced a memo earlier this month digging into the effectiveness of various messages related to Trump’s takeover of Washington, D.C. The firm advised that messaging around Trump’s “rising authoritarianism” was “highly unconvincing,” while messages that say Trump wants to “distract” from his damaging tariffs or horrifying Medicaid cuts were more effective. Meanwhile, Republican messaging about how Trump is clamping down on gang violence tested through the roof.


Ok, you ever wonder why liberal folks say, “if Biden did what Trump’s doing, there’d be hell to pay!”

Well the above article is why there is no damn hell to pay for Trump.

The effective members of the party are not in charge of the DNC: AOC, Crockett, Pritzker, Newsom…

The party is in dire need of leadership change!

The proposal package reportedly involves granting Russia access to Alaska's natural resources and lifting certain U.S. sanctions on Russia's aviation sector, which has struggled under the weight of international sanctions.

It's TIME for Every Blue state that can to gerrymander every Republican out possible

If we do this, we will win because overall, we have the population to do it. Frame it as an end to Trump like Newsom is and it’s a no-brainer. We’ve been playing by rules when the other side has ignored them and this is why we can’t keep a majority in the House. Enough! Time to play by the game that’s being played: war. That’s what this is.

We should go even further and test how electoral college reps can be sent. Forget about elections. Send delegates chosen by the party in power. Fuck it. It’s time to fuck every conservative over. Conservative business in a blue state? Punish them. Conservative churches in a blue state? Revoke their tax free status in the state. Deregister conservative voters from the rolls. We need to get ahead of their tactics and show them how an authoritative state can really punish them.
