I never imagined I would see a US Senator get manhandled to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents for asking questions at a press conference.
I’ve imagined it. I’ve also imagined worse, and I’m fairly certain I’ll see it in the not to distant future. Trump is almost at the ‘kill legislators and judges’ stage of his fascist takeover.
Attempting to ask questions, they steamrolled him before he had the chance to ask.
I wonder if Democrats will learn something from this, or if Schumer will demand Padilla apologize before next week.
They claim he didn’t identify himself, but the video shows he clearly states “I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have questions for Ms. Noem”
why does anyone care what “they” claim at this point? It’s probably 70% straight up lies.
70% straight up lies.
Only 70%… I see you’re feeling generous today.
I’m sure if he knew what was going to happen, he would say “puppy killer Noem”.
I wish nothing but the worst possible outcomes for every single person within the trump regime.
I hope that their loved ones turn their backs. I hope that the rest of their lives, and the end of their lives, are filled with fear, regret, pain, and crushing loneliness.
And honestly, that is only the things that can be said. I wish far worse in these terrorists.
Cory Booker’s response speech is pretty incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4_H_KNAakE
Apparently the House is now considering a motion to censure… Padilla… Fucking Mike Johnson
The House has fuck all to do with the Senate.
True, but explaining that to the orange nosed ass-kissers of the Mustard Mussolini won’t get us anywhere.
Americans need to remember lessons of the past. All of Europe and America at the time couldn’t “negotiate” with Nazis. Only thing they understood was a bayonet in the gut.
Modern Nazis are the same way.
Like Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance… The only way to ensure tolerance is not to tolerate intolerance.
Reminds me of that scene in Pink Floyd “the Wall” where the guy at the microphone starts, pointing out people who don’t belong, and the police just automatically arrest and drag those people out…
Here is video. https://youtu.be/3Cv-TtudBPQ
Somewhat disappointed it’s not the Pink Floyd video. ;)
Here’s a longer video that includes him getting cuffed on the floor. https://youtu.be/DsQ5YvT_28Y
Should be an interesting weekend.
