Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

A U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis was dragged out of her car and detained by immigration officers, according to a statement released by the woman on Thursday, after a video of her arrest drew millions of views on social media.

Aliya Rahman said she was brought to a detention centre where she was denied medical care and lost consciousness. The Department of Homeland Security said she was an agitator who was obstructing ICE agents conducting arrests in the area.

That video is the latest in a deluge of online content that documents an intensifying immigration crackdown across the midwestern city, as thousands of federal agents make arrests amid protests against what local officials have likened to a "federal invasion."

Rahman says she was on her way to a routine appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when she encountered federal immigration agents at an intersection. Video appears to show agents shouting commands over a cacophony of whistles, car horns and screams from protesters.

Did you not pay attention to how Kamala was called a liar by media for saying Trump would send the military against cities?

... And then he did?

Did you not pay attention to how he claimed credit for Covid funds that Democrats established? Blaming Democrats for Trump judges' decisions? Setting up Afghanistan so the exit would happen at the start of Biden's turn to hurt his approval when it predictably turns to chaos? How Biden's age was somehow a problem but Trump's never was?

Media was hysterical about how democrats would make everything worse somehow but never explaining it, then repeating Trump's claims that he's deliver the best economy ever and all kinds of bullshit like it.

And with all that Trump still didn't even get 50%!

And Kamala did worse. What’s your point? That Kamala scored worse than a fascist dictator?

RUN. BETTER. CANDIDATES.

Every time the policies and suggestions and everything else was presented without names, Kamala's campaign won. When people didn't know who's proposal they was listening to, Kamala won.

So please explain what you mean about better candidate, because you have said nothing about how she was worse.

From here in Sweden, it looks like the things needing replacement is the fucking electorate and the billionaires owning the media companies
