Yep, I have seen this "disrespectful" narrative floating around. As if that justifies murder. I've seen them put out, "mocked and belittled", and while it does not seem at all that she *was* mocking him, it doesn't matter. The same people calling *others* "snowflakes" and running around with "F--- Your Feelings" bumper stickers can't handle a single interaction without shooting someone? Trans kids put up with 100x worse every day.

They’re a bunch of pussies.

Disrespectful - SHIT.

Everywhere I go, I am looking for ICE bitches. So far I haven't seen anyone.

I am so ready to confront. Like "itching" to see them. If it gets me killed - I did my job.

Hey JJV...I would care if you got killed. Dude and so would your Family I'm guessing. Stay sane out there.

JavaJunkyMonkey's avatar

TY, I appreciate that so much. but you know, the videos out there how ICE treats people especially elders and children - mannn if I see that I know I will see "red". I will come to their defense no matter what. It's the right thing to do. I'm not scared of those bitches.

I have yet to see them in red Pasco county fl, but if I did, I’m afraid that my 73 year old ass would head out of the car to make good trouble!

Yes, I'm not exactly young, I'm 67. BUT I have courage up the ass. And I'm a small thing.

*Beware of small packages they tend to make a mess. (Read that somewhere) 😆

io bonini's avatar

YES! It is the right thing to do...and with people like you and the team we have here

we can keep some of our neighbors safe. That said...watch your back.

JavaJunkyMonkey's avatar

Exactly. I will be careful.

This violence is what rump wants! To enable himself to create a true nazi dictatorship!

Yes CB..Let's all refresh ourselves about martial law;

who would have thought that in 2026 we are in Wiemar Germany 1919-1933. But instead of being brought about by staggering inflation and other factors our troubles are being brought to you by president cankles.

I will definitely watch that video of Bovino being shit- talked out of Target a few more times today. Also a feel-good vid, the Minneapolis church singing loud resistance with one voice.

Also glad you called out Trump’s “disrespectful “ comment. Finally the MF utters something that’s true.

Not defending this action against Powell - it's designed as yet another salvo to destroy the old system and usher in a new global tyrannical one - but with regard to the FED, they have zero legitimacy.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies...." -Thomas Jefferson

Since its spurious inception in 1913, the "price stability" mandated FED has looted 98+% of the US dollar's value.

Money creation belongs to the people, not to a private bank masquerading around as a government agency (the word Federal is to fool us) that first counterfeits and then lends that money to us at interest to be repaid to them while inflating away its value.

"Permit me to issue the currency of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws." -Rothschild

Hey TT., Thanks for your post...I always learn things here from this community.

Ingenious thieves.

Source for your 3rd paragraph?

https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1913?amount=1

Value of $1 from 1913 to 2026

$1 in 1913 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $32.74 today, an increase of $31.74 over 113 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.14% per year between 1913 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 3,173.96%.

This means that today's prices are 32.74 times as high as average prices since 1913, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 3.054% of what it could buy back then.

The inflation rate in 1913 was 2.06%. The current inflation rate compared to the end of last year is now 2.03%. If this number holds, $1 today will be equivalent in buying power to $1.02 next year. The current inflation rate page gives more detail on the latest inflation rates.

TT - thanks for the response, but I have long known the effects of inflation on the dollar. However, my question was about your source(s) for:

a) How was the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 "spurious?"

and

b) How the "FED has *looted* 98+% of the US dollar's value?"

TriTorch's avatar

The book, ‘The Creature from Jekyll Island’ goes into detail on both. This book should be required reading in every school.

To answer your second question, via the boom bust credit cycle and credit in general. All currency borrowed in the banking system is created on the spot out of nothing with nothing backing it. (It has no more value than monopoly money, it’s only worth is the trust we place in it.)

As the boom bust cycle unfolds credit creation is ramped up, and currency floods the economy causing prices to rise. These rising prices cause debts to go bad and bankruptcies to soar - the bust cycle - and the vulture elites are waiting in the wings to mass buy mom’s-and-pop’s assets at pennies on the dollar.

This is a deliberate mechanism of fractional reserve banking—to rob the poor and concentrate wealt and property in the top 1% (see above Jefferson quote). Which is exactly where we find ourselves.

As for the loans that never get paid during the bust cycle due to bad debts and bankruptcies— the currency created never gets paid back (destroyed) and tthus stays in the system causing permanent inflation.

Central banking is designed to loot and plunder. Hope this explains it for you, Lucy.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE

“Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Another Bad Ass African American WOMAN, handing out some “whoop Ass” to the

Cankles…Love the fact that she…won’t say his name. You go girl! Now if we could just get her into Congress. With that Bad ass, we might actually be able to get something done.

I learned at age 8 to never fuck with a black woman.

She turned me across her knee, once. I’m a fast learner.

And yes, I deserved the spanking.

LOVE Wanda Sykes. I missed the show; thanks for posting. Bravo for dissing Maher; stopped watching him yeasr ago. Anyone else here can't believe their eyes seeing masked, armed goons at a TARGET!!!!! WTF.

Chrissy's avatar

Playing music, trying to keep the hub’s mood up ( dis chit is bringing him way down) but can’t wait to watch Wanda give misfit Maher hell. He’s such a color… ( nicest thing I can say about the phoney!)

Jeez Siri! He’s such a jerk!

You guys are good at humor. Remember the lightbulb joke? Maybe you can come up with something like how many ICE agents does it take to use the bathroom?

"Dude, I'm not mad at you." - Renee Nicole Good's last words. So, this is the new disrespectful. And as for the New York Times and their "interview", pffffttt.

The NYT is not a real newspaper. Die graue Dame ist tot. 💀 Zieg Heil.

Am thinking that as "evil" and "sick" as Steve Bannon is, he is more popular with the MAGA base than JD Vance... Any thoughts?

And Rahm? Well.... Rahm doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Arizona of getting the Dem nomination... But I wish him good luck...

Never heard of any of these guys and don't want to now!

This is a shamefully overlooked comment on the ICE Nazis at Target. Please add “taking a Bovino” to your vocabulary. Let’s Santorum it up.

If "disrespectful" justifies murder, then why is trump not dead?

AKRebel's avatar

I'm super stoked up about Mary running for Senate against that rethug tool, Sullivan! I'll be volunteering to work hard for her as soon as they get set up. Sullivan wasn't even popular when he got re-elected, but he's way less popular now because shitler did so many things already to hurt Alaska, and Sullivan voted for nearly every one of them.

The worst part is that Jonathan Ross has over $200k in a go fund me account.

Stupid rascists gonna do stupid rascism. Let them part with their money and complain how the trans community is robbing them.

Regarding Note 19: Maybe they can recreate their best "hits" in a show at the Kennedy Center called "ICE on Ice" to help fill that empty, empty schedule :)

I watched that clip on repeat for quite a while.

I'm not entirely ashamed to admit that it gave me a little joy every time his head bounced off the pavement.

I think there’s a bunch of southern lads experiencing ice for the first time! Love that part of their jackass ICE capades!
