(5,151 posts)Wall Street funded Hitler and was happy with secret police getting trained at Ft Benning at the School of the Americas. We have been visiting this hell on other nations through proxies for over a century. We also did it directly during our occupations of our conquests form the Spanish American War. What we did in the Philippines with our own troops was horrific.

(622 posts)saying "Republican Politicians", and not "Trump"........Trump wouldn't have lasted ten minutes on the first day in office during his first term, if it hadn't have been for the U.S. Republican Senators, and U.S. Republican House members..........
The violence of the Republican Politicians on the citizens, will increase daily until they can provoke Dems into physically reacting. The 2025 Creeps, along with Steven Miller want to utilize their storm troopers for Tyrant/Dictator type control, by enabling the Insurrection Act and committing to Martial Law. Just like Trump's Hero/Mentor,/Idol....... Adolph Hitler........
I believe, from what I am seeing, that 95% of people are just going around, willfully ignoring and oblivious to what is going on, and that they won't even realize what devastation is about to level us all in the near future.....

(6,670 posts)JS insurrectionists, weaselly militia survivalist types, and traitors all the way around. No ID, masked, taped, and outfitted for war. Legal and legitimate authorities don't run their departments this way, with no accountability. Therefore, I see these men... whoever they are... as illegitimate terrorists. And while I don't want to play into trump's fevered dreams, I'd really like to see them ambushed by some of the many 2nd amendment solutions we have in every city whenever they pull this crap on people in this country... legally or not. If they can't treat people with humanity, then why should they expect to have any humanity granted to them? I know, it's playing into the fevered passions of the maga types... but that doesn't negate my feelings of horror and injustice.

(3,068 posts)I don't know the story behind what I just saw. The video is going to be fucking hard for the ICE thugs to explain away -- but somebody has to make sure ICE is forced to explain itself and publicly. They will almost certainly claim that she drove into them -- that seems standard lying by these spawn of fascism. But if that's the story, local justice should move against them quickly, citing their lie as an obvious one and their kidnapping of this woman as a criminal violation as well as a violation of human decency (on which these fellows spit daily).

No character, no respect for the law.
No oversight, no supervision.
They can do whatever they want.
And they probably get paid extra for each kidnapping.
Kidnaping, murder, rape, torture.
We know it has already happened.
yellow dahlia
(3,464 posts)Some of the women they have grabbed and pushed to the ground and detained, they also pulled the back of the pants down...so their bare bottoms were exposed. One was Debbie Brockman, a producer for WGN-TV and an American citizen. She was detained by CBP (Friday) and later released.
Another incident involved a woman, who is a DACA recipient, picking up her child at school (I believe). As part of "roughing her up" her sweatpants got pulled down. That incident was on Wednesday.
Both were filmed by bystanders.
I also saw a video filmed on a phone by bystanders, several days ago from CA, where a woman was thrown to the ground, and they tore off her sweatshirt. Her breasts were exposed.
I think this is a tactic being deployed deliberately. Who is giving this directive?
Note:
I made some edits when I identified further specifics of the incidents.

(76,117 posts)Tear their clothes off to expose body parts.
It starts from the top.
Someone very senior making it known this is to be done.

Do you think there are coaches from without. Or does this kind of degradation and sadism come natural to the American Goebbels (ironically descended from Jews)?
Irish_Dem
(76,117 posts)He sent his troops into Ukraine with vodka and viagra.
Gave them orders to rape as many men, women, children as possible.
This was psychological as well as physical torture.
It is the use of rape as a military tactic and weapon.
You have asked a good question YD.
Does this indicate Putin's fingerprints are on the war Trump wages against Americans?
Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Putin's goal is to degrade and divide the US.
By any means possible. Sexual crimes would be consistent with his style.
We know that some of Trump's appointees have Russian ties.
So it makes sense Putin is involved in the traumatic war against Americans.

(3,068 posts)I'm not saying anything in support of the Kevlar Cowards of Kristi Noem. They are thugs, plain and simple, and murderers. But if the woman actually did throw objects, I'd like to know what and how many objects there were. Were they bags of shit -- which I think I can view as free speech (I know, I know, the law would not permit the distinction, but throwing shit at shit is not an immoral thing). Or rocks -- that would be bad.
I try not to get caught up in the easy assumption that Noem's "people" are liars -- because, for the most part, that is what they have shown themselves to. Maybe, just this once . . .they're not?

3. This thread is about the unnamed & unidentified woman taken by ICE AFTER ICE HIT HER CAR & ICE WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM TAKING BROCKMAN & an unidentified man)
This thread--https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20713961 but as of now, there is no citation of the 3rd womans name and release.
It is starting to get confusing, & that benefits ICE
Hope this helps Susan.

(6,670 posts)we gain back the country in which we were born. ICE should be abolished completely... nothing even resembling it should be allowed to take its place. The same with the stupid "Homeland Security" department that supposedly oversees ALL law enforcement in this country. Bush created that department at the lowest point in America's history, and knew it could and would be used to the worst possible use of police powers. He created the terror department, and made sure it was stacked with republican terrorists.
SCOTUS should be cleaned out completely, and not allowed to have even one judge sit on the bench until new rules, laws, and regulations are set in motion in writing. This will obviously effect our three, as well... but since there's no ethically challenging aspects with them, re-seating them should be no problem. The other 6 have lied to America's face while trying to gain the seats. This is on video and in congressional transcripts. They should not only be stripped of their bench seats, but IMO, be disbarred for unethical behavior.
All of this and more will only come about if we have a Truth and Reconciliation court to process the grievances. And we should allow no forward movement in the government OR the business community until it is completed. YMMV.
