CURRENT EVENTS - DECEMBER



“…Pete Hegseth had told forces to “kill everybody” on board, both the Senate and House Armed Services Committees—led by Republicans—said they are demanding answers from the Pentagon and conducting “vigorous oversight.”

Leaders of both parties said on Sunday that, if true, a follow-up strike on survivors could be illegal.…”

It's been "out in the open" for a long, long time. Too many people just buried their heads in the sand or pretended like it couldn't get this bad. And too many others actually support an authoritarian state.

“… But a Times analysis of court records related to assaults on federal law enforcement in Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland, Ore., Chicago and Washington, D.C., shows the majority of the alleged attacks resulted in no injury to an agent. In roughly 42% of the cases The Times reviewed, federal law enforcement officers were either shoved, spat on or flailed at, or had water bottles thrown at them, according to court affidavits.

… The five jurisdictions The Times analyzed were the federal districts where the Trump administration has conducted large-scale law enforcement and immigration operations or threatened to deploy the military because of the supposed danger faced by federal agents.

In those areas, 163 cases of assault of a federal officer had been filed between Jan. 21 and Nov. 21. That’s up from 129 in the same areas and time frame in 2024, an increase of 26%. An NPR analysis came up with a similar figure earlier this year.

… The purported weapons used in some of the cases have only fueled skepticism: A District of Columbia man was charged for throwing a Subway sandwich. In Portland, a woman was charged with assault via tambourine. In L.A., federal agents have claimed assaults involving a hat, a work bag, a flag — and the umbrella.…”

Hmm. That sounds like the kind of claim Trump would make about Biden or Obama to suggest the that they were shitty presidents.

“Under Biden and Obama, attacks against ICE were up $1,000%! They were so INCOMPETENT they couldn’t protect our country’s ICE agents. I will END attacks against ICE! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
