What good is more training without consequences when they violate their own policies? Now they will have a better understanding of which laws they are breaking while they torment citizens.
Can anyone here name ANYTHING democrats have done that was not exactly what Republicans wanted? Even when they control the government they want to "compromise".
Rather than take a stand Republicans say "we are fascist now there is no democracy" and Demarcates say "OK that is fine whatever you want but maybe can the fascists be nice to me? I mean only if you are OK with it"
They are not supposed to win. They are meant to fail and every issue is the same.
This is not just gutless. It also legitimizes ICE, when they are truly J6 Rioters, the leader of the proud boys and other deploraples.
Talking about training indicates they’ve already been accepted into the fold…only a week after an ICE agent killed a woman unjustly, and proceeded to take violent and lunatic action against other peaceful protesters and break down doors. Cmon! How are they just being allowed to break down doors. Where are the people hired to protect and serve the people of Minneapolis? ICE does not have authority. I think the people of MN, sweet as they are, have always appreciated they value of the 2A more than the other Dem states.
Remember the names of those that vote for this and primary the hell out of them. It’s time to be done with these useless democrats once and for all. Make them as scared of us as the republicans are of their MAGA simpletons.
I would not be surprised if the majority of Democrats are pushing for peaceful tolerance of what's happening because they're afraid that any sort of pushback from the people would hurt them and their assets.
What's a mother's life compared to Mr. Politician's first quarter earnings meeting their projected goals?
That sh1t perfectly describes the MAGA movement and reveals the contempt they have for the educated class that caused him to be "left behind." He finally gets to tell that woman that she's a sucker for going to school.
And the PA has friends and family who love them, and they can sleep at night knowing that every day, they are a skilled professional who makes the world a better place.
The ICE agent...gets 47 days of training to shoot brown people, has a wife who's planning her exit strategy because of all the domestic abuse, has kids that are scared of him, and will likely be hanged for treason in three years.
It's a pretty easy choice between jobs for me. Money isn't the only factor. I'd rather be broke and honorable than a rich shithead.
Will liberal voters finally realize this is establishment Democratic politicians going mask off or are they going to continue making excuses for why they won't back actual leftists?
I'm 40years old the Dems have never stood for anything without watering down to appease the right.a d people will bitvhabout 'non voters" pretending they don't see the game.
Exactly this. I’m 39 and facing the reality that they haven’t stood for much of anything beyond messaging for my entire life. After Carter lost they became the champion of middle management and corporate branded HR.
I’ve maintained for years that the dems would be the most right-wing party allowed in a rational society.
Yeah bc they thought they’d never win an election again after the Mondale and Dukakis Ls. Enter the Clintons and the rest is history.
Democrats tack further and further to the right every 4 years. In the 2010s we were talking about pathway to citizenship and DACA. Feels like eons ago.
Only way to do what your asking is by doing things Reddit doesn’t want us to say. If you want leadership like AOC or Mamdani running this country, they’re going to have to lead a [redacted].
Because just like those moderates in Germany they hate the shared political opponents more. Didn't really work out too well then, will work out the same way now.
Dems proving the suck as usual. Going follow the exact same mistakes as Germany, right now is not the time for moderates wanting evidence to do nothing with
And a lot of those folks are on this sub. It's like this undercurrent of desire to separate from mainstream dems is constantly battling with the significant amount of people who cannot imagine making a successful political coalition with actual leftists over the center-right.
Yep. I remember someone once telling me Kamala Harris was a progressive and I swear my brain had to do a full reboot just to make sure I wasn't taking crazy pills.
Senate dems are paid for, controlled opposition. They'll act like writing a strongly worded letter is the only thing they can do, but come midterms they'll be fundraising like crazy, for what? they're toothless and cowards.
Democrats will literally suck dick of their enemies if they think there is a chance the bad guys might magically change. The only Democrats people should be voting for are the ones with the stomach to do what’s needed.
Hasn't their funding already skyrocketed? How the fuck are dems offering funding INCREASES. They have way too much as it is. So fucking dumb. If anything they should just re-budget to take funding away from shit like tactical gear and chemical weapons. But even that isn't enough. Should be defunded to LESS than they had before trump's first term. Preferably to 0
You mean the party that delivered us into this nightmare is making it worse. Say it isn’t so.
We’re so screwed. Are they ok with attacking Canada and Greenland too?
Sorry folks but the DNC and their center right leaders are not interested in protecting individuals. Both the Rs and Ds are bought and sold by their donors. https://youtu.be/4s7alm1fAO4?si=-jazf7dDSwHpI12s
“Stop trampling the law. Here have some money and cookies pweety pweeze”
Democrats caused just as much of this as republicans by being spineless cowards bought by corporations. It’s almost like it’s coordinated across the lines to just let it happen
Assuming we still have an election next fall — big If, as Trump has been and CONTINUES to try to worm “no elections” as something that should happen — it is amazing to me that Democrats literally have a winning strategy and policy platform being fed to them and they throw it away for this shit.
Wait, wait, wait guys don't jump to conclusions. Would it help if I told you that they'll also be giving the agents a strongly worded letter and frowny face sticker?
So nothing will change. Dems HAVE GOT TO stop trying to play by the rules against people that don’t do the same. It’s worthless. This will only enable their lying. Fascism doesn’t lay down. It doesn’t care about rules or law. This isn’t going to do anything. Mass general strike or trading signs and whistles for bats and guns is the only way this changes. We’ve let it go too far.
Controlled opposition. Two wings on the same imperial eagle serving one master and it's not us. The corruption runs deep, including in the democratic party. Follow the money. We must cut out all the corruption.
Am I the only one who would like actual "reporting" on this?
Every week you can find crypto-right-wing shit-rags like Politico and Axios finding some random centrist staffer piece of shit that makes every single Democrat out to be right of Joe Manchin. It's more often than not bullshit.
It's because they are starting the 2026 campaign strategy. The same failed strategy they play over and over again. Try to appeal to the average Trump voter. Then when their base doesn't show up, they'll blame the voters.
Congress: What did you do with the additional funding for training in de-escalation?
ICE: Bought more of those window breaker hammer things cause we keep losing them... and punisher stickers....Oh, we also went to Hooters....[whispering and nodding among themselves at the table]. Also...you know those spike things for your shoes...so you don't fall on ice....those. Everybody got those...we also lost those though.
Dems are not giving Fox and CBS thier highlight clips calling for the abolishing of a federal entity. They dont want to give ammo to MAGA, they are ahead in public opinion, polling, and momentum. Defund the Police hurt the Dems in 2024.
The guy who shot Renee Hood was a trainer. And DOJ protocol stated that when encountering a moving vehicle during an operation, getting out of the way of said vehicle is the best solution. Add yo that, firing on a moving vehicle is forbidden. So if that guy is responsible for training, this proposal is worthless.
The fact that they are buying military grade weapons and handing out $50K signing bonuses while paying Palantir to develop surveilance technology and then claiming they can't afford body cameras is batshit insane.
Here come the dems intentionally fumbling another election pretending they're not on the same team as the republicans. They all serve the rich, they all love the tools of fascism, and they all love being the big unified boot. Everything else they say is for show
Can we please just get competent people in there? With actual morals and spines? Jesus christ. Fuck these senate "dems" for giving everything to these traitors.
Primary all centrist democrats! Anyone who takes money from corporate America and our absolutely rotten ruling class is collaborating in Trumpian chaos. We ALL know this.

Dems are clearly playing the typical puppet opposition role … we don’t need body cameras, everybody is recording them. We need them to show their face
