Subscribe through my link for 40% off for unlimited access on the Vantage plan. | The shooting of National Guard troops in Washington DC last week allegedly by an Afghan national has sparked backlash against Muslim immigrants. The Trump regime was swift to enact sweeping restrictions on immigration even beyond what was already put in place since January. It appears we have entered a new phase of the immigration crackdown in the US.

I visited Minneapolis months ago and was stunned that the homeowners I stayed with feel completely safe enough to leave their front door unlocked when leaving the house and were completely unbothered by the potential of someone breaking into their home. Not an ounce of concern or fear for Somalian gangs or anything.

“The people are fu—ing rabid for it.”
They’re rabid for it because it’s true, and a fact. And they’re sick of immigrants dragging us down.
Live with it, Brainiac.

Man, I normally far more optimistic takes than most and I still wish that "be so fr" worked against MAGA more than I do for most any US political group (the only ones surpassing it in desire being more extreme things like open Nazis and Confederates).

Eeeeh, to be fair… that's more of a problem that's far worse than one that's introduced, even if the extent is so bad it makes the past look good by comparison. 😅

I’m sorry but I am just going to say it. EVERY shooting that has happened has only been beneficial to Trump and his agenda. How many coincidences have to happen before it is no longer a coincidence? I don’t get into conspiracies but this all seems to be way to beneficial to Trump.

The shooting was 100% orchestrated by his administration

For me its so interesting the shooting and its timing. I am from Germany and last year before the elections we saw a spike in terrorist attacks on christmas markets etc., spiking the arguments for the Afd, our far rifht party…very convenient timing always

Ya know, I’m pretty sure the vast majority of serial killers and school shooters are white men… and yet we’re not demonizing them. Huh, how odd. 🤔

RE: Trump calling Lakanwal an animal and savage
Unfun fact, He was a child soldier in a militia trained and backed by the CIA.
So, if Lakanwal is an animal as trump said, then it's probably because the CIA made him one.
His militia's commander was President Karzai's brother, but they were basically gangsters, and when they weren't murdering people for the CIA, they were involved in drug trafficking, human trafficking (including kids), robbery, etc.
Seth Harp, the dude who wrote The Fort Bragg Cartel, was just on @BadFaithPodcast talking about this stuff. Definitely worth checking out

It’s not also Muslim community that’s also black communities that are really intertwined with certain Muslim groups

Awwwwww…. Would you look at that.
Watch as the left begins to walk back all their TDS rage induced rhetoric when it comes to blowing up narco terrorist drug running boats.
It’s already begun, with Martha Raditch.
You idiots should watch, and learn.

Hey Leeja, look I know you think you’re doing something brave by saying the R-slur but I’m curious, would you do the same if Trump said the N-word? If not, I would analyze why you think some slurs are okay. You aren’t making things better for my community by saying there are acceptable times to use that word.

Why do we need more immigrants from any country when we are faced with unemployment and inflation? Why are we allowing illegals to come and take our jobs. Why do we need immigrants from India who are willing to work for very little money? Muslim religion is incompatible with western values and that is quite obvious. But you don’t seem to see it.

Right…. Because under the OLD phase when sleepy creepy hair sniffing China Joe ran the country, we just let everybody in.
So it only makes sense that this is a new phase.
I’m glad they’re arresting the terrorists that Joe and Mayorkis “properly” vetted from his botched Afghan withdrawal.

Trump on national defense:
Blows up narco-terrorist drug running boats BEFORE said terrorists get to America.
Sleepy Creepy hair sniffing China Joe on national defense:
Let’s let in 100k unvetted Afghan nationals under the guise of an “operation” due to my botched withdrawal of said country.
Oh…. And let’s invite people to walk across the southern border so we can increase our voting base.

Trump is a disgusting vile human being he is not hiding the fact that he is a racist and a xenophobe which he has always been but he’s not hiding it anymore he is turning into a dictator.

Regarding the reading of the official post, I think that Leeja gave us enough warning to click away if we're not in the right headspace to listen to slurs. I agree with her reporting decision not to censor or sanitize the official public communication, but to read it in full for analysis of harm and intent.
I'm a newer viewer of this channel, but I assume that she would protect the name and identity of minors in reporting, and take other safety precautions, when appropriate. Thank you, Leeja. Take care of yourself, too. 🩷🍀🥄🥄🥄

The sad truth is that nearly everything these cos-playing "officials" have said in the past is either a blatant lie, or is clearly an attempt to twist truths and manipulate the public. Given their past blunders, lies and psychopathic rants, it's a very real possibility that they are lying that the person they've charged is just another patsy for them to use as a distraction, and make into their scape goat. It's so sad how far we've fallen.

Anyone who knows the history of immigration lawsuits since the 1986 Amnesty knows all of these people snatched away from administratively terminated hearing based on trump's order will be granted paroles to come back for the hearing once he's gone. and having dealt with immigration issues for a very long time, if someone shows up to their hearing, they have a good chance of either being granted residence or another form of relief. The other thing is that a large number of the people who were removed will come back through either the Mexican or Canadian border at some point if they haven't already. Do NOT trust the statement, "The border is secure" because it never will be. This is a colossal waste of money and resources. The normal process, which focused far more on criminals, was working and there's no rush to get to those here just working.
