  • An early portion indicates that, at the time Randall allegedly ran the flashing stop sign, Iversen was likely too far away from the intersection to see it. Iversen acknowledged as much in his interview with the Texas Rangers, saying he couldn’t see the full intersection but knew it well enough to deduce that Randall’s vehicle hadn’t come to a stop.

    So not only did he shoot an unarmed man who posed no threat whatsoever, but it wasn’t even a legal traffic stop in the first place. No wonder he didn’t want the footage released.



  • I’ve written this multiple times in the last few months. I’ll keep doing it because people need to get the message: There isn’t going to be an impeachment, and even if there were, it would fail.

    The impeachment process requires cooperation from both houses of congress. A simple majority in the house of representatives must vote to approve articles of impeachment. Then the Senate decides what to do with them. They can hold a trial or they can just vote. Conviction requires a 2/3 majority of the Senate. This is why both attempts to impeach Trump previously already failed. The Senate Republicans simply moved to an immediate vote and killed it.

    Now, consider that Republicans currently hold a majority in both houses. THERE WILL BE NO IMPEACHMENT barring a major upset in the midterm elections. Even then it is almost guaranteed to fail. Impeachment is not going to save us.





  • The Supreme Court said, like you said, the president ought to make a good faith effort to get this person returned.

    Great. You showed that you can hear and repeat what she already said. Where’s the part where you explain why it’s okay for the President to ignore that order? Because of “foreign affairs”? If asking a foreign government to return someone they deported by mistake is a foreign affairs issue, then THEY SHOULDN’T BE FUCKING DEPORTING PEOPLE WITHOUT DUE PROCESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!




  • They’re doubling down on that claim:

    But a senior official with the Department of Homeland Security rejected the allegations. “The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false,” the official said via email. “On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully.

    I’m certain they have video evidence that this is the case and will release it soon so we can all see they were doing things by the book. /s
