Another 'peaceful' ambush of ICE agents. One agent shot by radical leftwing lunatics trying to stop the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Wrong. The "special kind of assholes" are the LEFTISTS condoning this and encouraging it. Period.

Trump's 'enemy from within' threat spurs critics' alarm about his authoritarian shift
He suggested the military could be used against "radical left lunatics."

Donald Trump, in a recent interview, suggested political opponents are more of a threat to the U.S. than top foreign adversaries such as China and Russia.

"I think the bigger problem are the people from within," Trump told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo. "We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics."

“In each of these cases, autocrats used exactly this language: there's an enemy within that's more dangerous than our external enemies and that justifies the use of extra-constitutional measures.”


You don’t think that kind of language spurs political violence. He’s just as bad when referring to any of his perceived opponents including immigrants.

Trump is culpable for much of the violent rhetoric we live with everyday.

If we both lived on the same street we would probably have beers and laugh at each other.

"Leftists" in general do not condone this, do not support it. Neither does the right, in general.

No one rational wants these kind of violent acts.

Not you. Not me. Not the Left. No one. Let's stop trying to make the division worse. Seriously. This isn't good.

And please understand that I am trying not to make it worse with this post.

Let's both back the fuck off. This isn't a "good look" for either of us. Meet me half way. Fuck it. I'll just stop even if you don't. I'm not doing this any more. It's dumb. So are we both. Most here must be thinking that. Probably enjoy it, if they pay any attention. Let's disappoint them by not doing this any more.

Doesn't seem like the left is interested in "turning down the rhetoric".

And more violence against ICE agents.

You pick one idiot Dem to criticize all of them.

And you use sources that are years old to do it.

99+ percent of Dems don't support violence.

99+ percent of MAGA too.

99+ percent of immigrants, college students, Trans people, minorities, Leftists, Marxists, Socialists...take your pick.

NONE of these people support it.

Attacking any large group with a generalization like this should not be tolerated by any of us.

But.... carry on.

Your own words make you look far worse than I ever could.

They crossed the unacceptable line from protester to violent criminal.

Hopefully, they can be identified and fully prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.

99+ percent of protesters don't approve of this. I could go on....
