Yet another blatantly obvious coverup from the Trump regime, this time in DHS's shape-shifting story about prison videos it now claims never to have recorded.
Remember: You should always presume these people are lying.
"DHS Says Critical ICE Surveillance Footage From Abuse Case Was Actually Never Recorded, Doesn't Matter"
Remember: these are the people that #ChuckSchumer and #HakeemJeffries have just struck the political deal of the millenium with
This seems about right on the potential deal in Congress over #ICE and funding for #DHS: "But the devil is in the details, and here’s where the #Democrats risk getting screwed. Having given up their leverage of demanding a final deal by the shutdown deadline of Saturday night, they will now be subject to all manner of Republican backpedaling over the next two weeks. .. The idea that Trump would actually bargain in good faith is a contradiction in terms." https://americanprospect.bluelena.io/index.php?action=social&chash=05128e44e27c36bdba71221bfccf735d.3958&s=b20a76aaf2dc9c14d5a8f0355e1568d9

Commenting on the revelation that DHS knew who Alex Pretti was before federal agents murdered him, that he was tackled by federal agents and had his rib broken days before he was executed, Charles Pierce says,
"At least some of the overripe guys in masks stalking the streets of Minneapolis knew who Pretti was before anything happened last Saturday. (Keep the phrase, malice aforethought, or 'premeditation' in mind.)"

I cannot express how angry I am with that spineless, ball-less, senile old fool #ChuckSchumer
He's continued #DHS / #CBP / #ICE funding for two weeks when it should have been cut off, and I'd bet hard money by the time #Schumer is all done he'll increase ICE funding on net
Utterly worthless, but dependable for only one thing:
Complete and utter capitulation under fire
The headline below is wildly incorrect.
It should read:
"D's cave, again. Allow ICE to continue".
It isn't just trump who is TACO, it is the D-party.
By passing most of the funding the D's have given away their leverage to affect things in the future. Schumer could publish a book titled "The Art of Losing".
I do not think the D party knows the word "No".
"Deal struck to keep government funded, Trump and Democrats say"

I'm thinking today of folks bringing guns and other weapons — knives, hockey sticks, flag poles — to a protest.
Then smashing windows, breaking glass (defecating and urinating on floors and on a desk).
Being warned repeatedly by law officials not to climb through a smashed window, and still climbing through that window and being shot.
Defying law and order and authority.
Ignoring law and order and authority.
Trampling on law and order and authority.
And now THE SAME PEOPLE who clapped and cheered when all that happened want to convince us that a man who was just executed publicly by federal agents deserved his death because he
Brought a gun (which he never touched) to a protest.
Smashed a car light days before he was murdered.
Had his rib broken by masked thugs who pounced on him when he did that.
"If all of them want to say that they didn't recognize Pretti as the guy who'd already had his ribs broken in an earlier encounter with federal agents, let them say it under oath in a courtroom as part of their defense against a charge of murder in the first degree. Maybe they'll be loosened up for a plea bargain by then."

"And then five shots ring out, a pause, and then five more. Presumably, Pretti at least was incapacitated by the first volley, which means the second burst was meant to do what? Kill a dead man? Intimidate the witnesses? Everything that the ICE agents do in that video can arguably be interpreted as planned and purposeful. (Remember what I said about malice aforethought?)"

"And then there's the new video of Pretti's killing in which the last shreds of the official government story are, well, shredded.
There's no 'riot.' There aren't enough people on the sidewalk for a decent hockey fight. An ICE officer walks right up to Pretti and initiates the violence. Then he and his colleagues swarm Pretti, who vanishes below a flurry of punches and kicks while onlookers plead with his attackers."
