1. We should -- very carefully -- ask how people are to know they are even legitimate government agents.

Republicans can get away with recklessly talking about 2nd amendment solutions" and so on, but seriously, why would legitimate government agents be trying hard to look like criminal kidnappers?


Actually, I think they *want* an armed confrontation. Gives them more of a pretense to impose martial law.

2. Ahh... another attack on Democrats. What exactly are they NOT doing that they CAN do to magically fix everything?

How are Democrats being negligent? Knowing that the Democrats do not control the levers of power in Congress, what exactly is the proposal or demand here?

4. Another day, another attack on Democrats for supposedly not doing something they've been doing

8. I'm sick of lazy attacks for the sake of the attack... not because anyone actually cares what they're imagining *

* that the Democrats are "not doing" when in fact they ARE doing something. And attacks for the sake of shit-smearing that have no basis in reality with the expectation that the Democrats can wave a magic wand and take control of congress, and then FORCE the Republicans to vote with them.

It's just pure insanity. Who thinks like this, or who thinks that this constant smearing and denigration of Democrats and Democratic leadership is actually helping?

In reality, it creates division and suspicion and it weakens the Democrats... and this, in turn, helps the GOP, and Trump, and Russia.

PS: Thanks for the link. I'm sure it will be ignored and the gripes and shit-slinging will continue.

3. the press is either afraid or complict

either way it plays perfectly into the fascism playbook

6. Or the people criticizing Democrats for not doing anything are completely uniformed.

In this case -- as in many cases I've seen lately -- that's the actual answer: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/democrats-want-to-ban-masked-ice-agents_n_685d9603e4b0bb5044ff94a5

7. I was referring more to the media

I do realize Dems are limited in what they can do but I sure do wish they were much louder with their disgust. I very much enjoyed reading about a Dem calling Stephen Miller "the biggest piece of shit", for example.

5. Lawrence O'Donnell is highlighting this

It's so obvious that all of us are in danger from masked fake and real ICE!
