The Trump and JD Vance Administration has just arrested a mayor in Newark and shoved Members of Congress for protesting outside of an ICE facility.

In America, you cannot arrest your political opponents.

Reposted from Acyn

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

If the point is a terror campaign, they're failing. All they're doing is pissing people off.

He wasn't protesting he was trying to inspect the facility, them was demoed entry. There were members of congress present.

momny.bsky.social•8 days ago

I don't believe they were protesting they were there to check out the facility quite within the law of oversite.

You can when there's no channel for enforcing the law. Congress sure isn't doing anything. Also, you're going to need to work harder to come up with a message that doesn't just lead to them saying "You arrested Trump!"

Do better.

I saw video, I don’t think there was any protesting going on. He was just standing there. The mayor of a city is standing on his own city property. Also, where was the warning prior to arrest, ie “I supervise this facility, sir you are trespassing and if you don’t leave now, you can be arrested.”

Also, law-enforcement has no immunity when they make an arrest, that they know is improper, regardless of who on the phone told them to do it. Every federal officer there needs to be investigated. Funny how we make local cops wear body cameras, maybe it’s time for these feds to wear them too.

How is the arresting of a Mayor, in his own city, OUTSIDE of the fenced area of where he was supposedly trespassing, by federal agents on a local charge as he had left the area he was allegedly trespassing on, legal by any stretch of the imagination? I want to read that probable cause affidavit.

*THE mayor of Newark!

They were able to do it once. They seem to be able to do anything once.

The question is, can Congress and the courts stop them from doing it again?

They feel no weight of the law because nothing has happened to them. Maybe some of these masked ice agents (why are they masked btw) need to be thrown in the clink, but who's going to do it?

Actually they can, until they are stopped.

Remember when you were simping to suck Elon's dick?

philipvernon.bsky.social•8 days ago

But apparently they can!

Where is the ENTIRE Democrat caucus raising cane on the steps of the Capitol?!?!?

It would make for a media event even MSM couldn’t ignore.

. . . Oh, never mind.

F auto-correct. CAIN.

My bad for poor proofing.

Read on another post they requested access and were kept waiting for like 90 mins then ICE showed up.

In Hungary 🇭🇺 and Russia 🇷🇺 there’s nation leader elections but they rigged it to arrest their nation leader candidates and their voters. In Russia 🇷🇺, there’s Parliament like in the United States 🇺🇸 have U.S. Congress but these Russian politicians are all rubber stamps to Vladimir Putin.

Those two countries are very corrupt, even worse than the US in terms of rigging elections. That doesn't make the US good though... the Electoral College is an abusive undemocratic system in modern times. Gerrymandering is rigging, same shit. Citizens United is money rigging.

kos9192.bsky.social•8 days ago

Every former U.S. Presidents and Trump have presidential immunity and Trump is the record to pardon people including criminals that he will pardon Vance to be aware. Trump also threatened to arrest U.S. Supreme Court Justices including Conservatives which I don’t mind they deserve it to are crooks.

arlentsao.bsky.social•8 days ago

I don't agree with immunity for anyone, because this allows them to abuse their power. As the US is currently having Democracy undermined, Trump is actively seeking a 3rd term. He could simply have JD Vance run and if he wins, he will give his spot back to Trump.

But they just did. No more "strongly worded letters" from Schumer. Democrats need to fight back.

philipvernon.bsky.social•8 days ago

“It’s a Friday. Got things to do.”

westcoast-tj.bsky.social•8 days ago

"What? I made my cursory 'they're bad guys' post. My work here is done."

philipvernon.bsky.social•8 days ago

I get it! I made my cut-n-paste plea/question why the entire caucus isn’t staging a media avail on the steps of the Capitol. An event even MSM would find hard to avoid.

. . . But again, I guess it’s Friday.

tomcarpenter.bsky.social•8 days ago

Not the Administration. The Republican Party. They’re all marching in lock step. They’re all doing this.

blueskyentity.bsky.social•7 days ago

You can arrest people who break the law. Like that mayor.
