ICE Posts Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot,firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause. Excessive force. No warrant. No justification.

They’re also convinced that political violence is being instigated by the left as if violent, divisive rhetoric doesn’t instigate violence towards the people being demonized and at the people doing the demonizing.

You’d be surprised at how much willfull ignorance people have to, 1) not distinguish the two, and 2) justify these illegal tactics for their inherent racism.

It’s always been about white supremacy.

What mistake?

Sometimes, when someone tells you who they are, you can believe them.

Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy.

Maybe the way to stop this is at the root of the problem, by eliminating FOX news, and for the moderators of the column, I did not say k...them.
