These are the same people who thought "Kamala Is Brat" was a great campaign slogan.
"California's electoral votes always goes to the Democrats in every election but if you don't do what I say I'll see to it that California's electoral votes goes to the Democrats in the next election."
Like those people who get caught committing voter fraud in California. You put yourself on the line to ensure that the thing that was going to happen anyway is going to happen even bigger? Stupid.
Is this the beginning of them turning against each other to save their own skin?
I don't know what I expected but it exceeded my expectations.
Pretty awesome.
That's groovy that the house oversight committee wants to gather evidence but it was a criminal act. Why is the House doing the work of the DOJ?
Trey Gowdy is gone but his shadow is still lingering.

El Paso's Fort Bliss is set to become the site of the largest immigration detention facility in the United States, as the administration of Donald Trump expands its nationwide crackdown on immigration.
The detention center on the U.S. Army post began receiving the first of 1,000 detainees on Aug. 1, with around 100 individuals arriving at the new detention facility. El Paso's ICE spokesperson Leticia Zamarripa said in a news statement that the goal is to have 1,000 people detained in the facility by Aug. 17.
The Trump administration plans to expand the facility by 250 beds each week until it reaches 1,000. Ultimately, ICE looks to hold 5,000 people at the detention facility.
"We will finish construction for up to 5,000 beds in the weeks and months ahead," Pentagon spokesperson Kingsley Wilson told reporters on Aug. 7. "Upon completion, this will be the largest federal detention center in history for this critical mission."
ICE is responsible for the management and operation of the Fort Bliss detention facility. Zamarripa said in the news statement that the facilities will provide detainees with access to legal representation and a law library, access to visitation and medical treatment, among other services, which detainees receive in other facilities.
The Trump administration has stated that it will hold single adults who are scheduled for deportation. Immigrants held there are scheduled to be there for a short-term period before they are removed from the country.
The construction of the Fort Bliss detention facility expands ICE's capacity in the El Paso Sector, which stretches from New Mexico's border with Arizona through El Paso County. There are currently three other detention centers in the El Paso area, which includes an ICE detention facility and processing center on Montana Avenue, near the El Paso International Airport, as well as a facility north of the city on Highway 54 and another facility in Otero, New Mexico.
The three facilities can hold up to 3,000 people.
The El Paso Times has reached out to the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to tour the facility, but received no response to any media inquiries.
What do we know about the detention facility?
Former U.S. Secretary of the Army Daniel P. Driscoll announced that construction of the detention facility was imminent in March, following his visit to Fort Bliss and the El Paso area.
During the news conference, Fort Bliss Deputy Committee General Paul Krattiger said that the detention facility would be constructed at the location known as "Site Monitor," which is just off of Montana Avenue and George Dieter Drive.
While the administration of President Donald Trump initially said the facility would hold up to 10,000 detainees, this number was reduced to 5,000.
The Henrico, Virginia-based Acquisition Logistics LLC company was awarded a $231,878,229 firm-fixed-price contract to establish and operate a detention facility for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The contract comes on the heels of Presidential Executive Order 14159, which outlines using "national security assets for law and order."
Military and commercial deportation flights
The Fort Bliss facility is meant to be a hub for the deportation of immigrants and to ease the capacity of centers across the country, ICE officials said.
"ICE is using Camp East Montana to help decompress ICE detention facilities in other regions," the statement said. "It will also serve as a processing facility, and ICE Air Operations will effectuate removals for aliens staged at the facility."
El Paso and Fort Bliss have continued to be the departure site of both military and ICE-chartered commercial deportation flights. Military deportation flights carry fewer deportees than commercial charters, but have a higher operating cost.
At least 68 military deportation flights have returned migrants to over a dozen countries since Jan. 24. Thirteen of the flights have departed Fort Bliss' Biggs Army Airfield, according to data compiled by Tom Cartwright with the immigration advocacy group Witness at the Border.
The majority of flights have transported immigrants to Guatemala, Honduras and Ecuador. Concerns with congressional oversight
The construction of the ICE facility on Fort Bliss raises concerns for congressional oversight to uphold humane conditions at the immigration detention site.
U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso, has regularly carried out congressional oversight visits to the facilities, where she has sought to guarantee humane treatment of immigrants held in the detention centers. She was blocked from visiting the Montana Avenue facility in June 2025, leading to her filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
She has raised concerns over carrying out oversight at the Fort Bliss detention center.
"It is going to be very challenging to continue to provide oversight if we don't challenge the Trump administration in court," Escobar said at a news conference on July 30. "The lawsuit is pretty critical, especially given the massive expansion of immigration detention that is going to happen as the result of Republicans giving tens of billions of dollars to private corporations."
ICE detention facilities across the United States have faced accusations of inhumane conditions.
The ICE facility on Montana Avenue has faced criticisms over the conditions that immigrants face while in custody. Amnesty International raised concerns about the facilities in a report in May 2025, and U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Georgia, who reported immigrants being slammed to the ground by guards at the Montana Avenue center in a report on the abuse of pregnant women and children in ICE detention.
The Department of Homeland Security has refuted these claims.
I'm so sick of this Seth Rich worship.
The story needs to be told. Absolutely. But Seth Rich hated Donald Trump. He did what he did because he was a Bernie Bro who got mad at the DNC for choosing Hillary as the candidate instead of the openly-Communist Bernie Sanders. Seth Rich was not on our side then. He would likely not be on our side now.
Tell the story but stop acting like he was a patriot.
I saved an FBIAnon post back in 2016 that said something similar. Of course I saved so much stuff over the years it's gonna take forever to find it but I'm sure some other frens can back me up on this.
Only the ones who make it big.
Exactly. I was taught in high school (back in the 1900s) that it symbolized that they had the power to pull you in to their fold (crook) or push you out of society (flail). They loved duality in those ancient belief systems. Push/pull. As above, so below. You got your chocolate in my peanut butter. Etc.
"EBT" could be SNAP or cash aid.
Mama Shiloah does satirical videos. It's absolutely a joke.
Fuck Seth Rich.
Liberal asshole who got mad at the DNC because he was a Bernie-bro and they went with Hillary instead of the crowd favorite - openly-communist Bernie Sanders.
Seth Rich hated Donald Trump. He hated Republicans. He didn't think Hillary was communist enough so he did what he did. Of course he stole lots of valuable information from the DNC but he didn't do it to make America better. He did it to punish Hillary's campaign because they weren't communist enough for his taste.
His story is worth telling because it exposes Hillary for who she really is, but let's be honest. If Seth Rich was a live today he would NOT be on our side.
Aside from illegals and college students the left is made up of well-to-do hippies. It's the Karens in their 60s and 70s leaving the comments.
Of course us actual Americans have our gals of the same age but they are capable of thinking for themselves and make comments regarding references that some people might have to Google to understand. The left ain't got time for that.
Well, here's a demonstration showing how liberals form thoughts but this example uses and eye instead of a brain.
The way it's presented here it looks like a bad idea but the photo is cropped to make it look worse than it really is. People are saying it's only the grassy part that's been paved and all the roses are still there but I can't find anything online to show what it really looks like. I'm sure it's not so bad but time will tell.
This is a bit off topic but if you're a Counting Crows fan, did you know that before Adam Duritz was in CC he was in a band called The Himalayas (if you don't already know).
Sadly, I think it is. They do share one brain.
"Anyone live in Florida?"
Yes, lots of people.
I like this.
First of all I don't think it's any kind of serious threat to us or Russia. It's part of the show.
But secondly, I used to tell those idiots who said "Trump is working with Russia" and "Trump is buddies with dictators!" that Trump knows that being friendly with potential threats is a good thing. Now I get to tell them "This is what you wanted! You didn't want the American president and Russian president to get along! You wanted this. This is what you asked for. It's almost as if Hillary won."
HERE's a thread on Reddit about it. It's okay though. The commenters are actually being helpful instead of Reddit-like.
I see some positives in this. The undocumented immigrants are driving whether they have a license or not. When they get into an accident or get pulled over all they have to tell the cop is that there name is Jose Gonzales and they live at 1313 Mockingbird Ln. and there's no way for the officer to know what their real name is or where they really live.
Now, if they're dumb enough to get a license their thumbprint will be on file with a name and address. They go from being an undocumented ghost into being somebody with a paper trail and accountability.
I don't think he flipped. I think he realized he was on the wrong team and is now kissing ass. I don't think he has any intentions of doing anything beneficial for the right team.
They were the Sumerian's who began the practice of usury and, after they pissed off their fellow citizens by pricing them out of everything they owned, inviting foreigners from surrounding areas and indebting everybody in society by controlling the grain supplies that used to be shared freely, they teamed up with a society of barbaric "cavemen" called the Amorites who had no morals and behaved inhumanely.
Then over the centuries they took both powers of usury and immorality and refined them by adopting the most horrible practices from the Canaanites, Khazars, those who opposed Christ (the original anti-Christ), then later the bastardized Freemasons, Bavarian Illuminati, Sabbatean Frankists, etc..
In other words - a bunch of cosplaying spoiled brats who control the monetary systems of the world and are obsessed with cruelty and sex. Their motto is "Don't ask who will let us - ask who will stop us".
