Who is trustworthy?
That is on the ballot from here forward.
One part of life many Americans learned about in the 2024 elections is the betrayal by the Republicans when they were entrusted with the Executive and Legislative Branch. For the most part until recently, Congress has been primarily silent and allowed Trump to run roughshod over the country. That is not trustworthy conduct of the USA House and Senate.
The USA Senate didn't stand up for the American people on either of these issues. The Democrats fought the funding of the aggressive and dangerous regime of Donald John Trump and the Republicans simply rubber stamped the violence of Trump in passing this funding without restrictions on violent law enforcement or illegal racketeering of the 1776 slush fund.
The USA Senate has not acted in a trustworthy manner to garner praise over the way they are throwing money around in the face of the deaths of American citizens. The Democrats were not playing politics. They had real reasons to obstruct funding to the Border Patrol and ICE. They killed American citizens. The agents murdered them. The citizens were of no threat to the agents involved, yet they believed they had the right to kill people they decided were worthy of death.
I don't want to hear how they needed training. THAT IS NEGLIGENCE. The USA federal authority is supposed to have agents well trained to protect the people and their rights. Trying to say there is an excuse for the deaths of Americans is part of the problem, not the solution.
So, it is easy for me to decide for myself these Senators are not acting in good faith. They are not acting in the best interests of the American people and they are exploiting the USA Treasury while allowing racketeering.
That is what the 1776 Slush Fund is; racketeering. The 1776 Slush Fund is completely based in a lie that serves Trump's propaganda purposes. Got that? The Republican members of the USA Senate simply allowed the racketeering to continue. Just because the DOJ has not brought Trump up on criminal charges doesn't mean it didn't happen or that the USA Senate cannot discern for themselves crime was being conducted.
The Democrats had absolutely no problem in deciding ICE was killing Americans without cause.
The Democrats had absolutely no problem in deciding ICE was killing Americans without cause.
The Democrats had absolutely no problem in deciding ICE was killing Americans without cause.
The Republicans CHOSE to allow the propaganda to stand as fact. Let me state that again. The Republicans CHOSE to allow the propaganda to stand as fact. That means the Republicans recognize that lying works best for them.
The passage of this funding is wrong. It is completely absolutely wrong. There needed to be guardrails for the agents. The funding requires conditions to it's use and the conduct of the agents. The Republicans supplied none. Trump is allowed again to kill at will any American he deems, through his violent federal force, a reason to kill them. Make no doubt about it, the agents killed because they were told to do so. Unarmed demonstrators that wanted the heinous tactics of ICE and Border Patrol to stop were gunned down. The agents were armed and told to kill at will anyone they believed should die.
Yes, heinous.
Agents repelling down in the middle of the night into an apartment building? That is heinous. There is absolutely no reason for such action domestically in the USA.

Senators voted 52-47 to pass the $70 billion legislation to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol for the next three years, through the end of Trump’s term, after Democrats blocked the money for months. The bill will now head to the House, which is expected to take it up next week.
The final vote came just before 5 a.m., after Republicans narrowly defeated multiple attempts by members of both parties to add language to the bill that would permanently ban Trump’s settlement fund for allies who believe they’ve been politically persecuted....
