ICE KillingRep. Seth Magaziner (D-RI) shredded idiot Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday for immediately accusing Renee Nicole Good of domestic terrorism.
Good was killed on Thursday in Minneapolis by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross, who shot Good in the face as she attempted to drive away from another agent who had his hand on her door handle after he told her to get out of her SUV. Good was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting was caught on video and posted on social media.
Shortly after the killing, Noem quickly blamed Good for her own death and accused her of engaging in terrorism against Ross and the other agents. Noem claimed that Good had attempted to ram them with her vehicle.
A photo taken of Goods vehicle after the shooting shows a bloodied airbag and stuffed animals for her six-year-old, whom she dropped off at school just before she was killed, in the glove compartment.

She doesnt have to be good at lying. Thats the point. She simply has to do so. Actual subtlety is for functioning democratic states.
These guys really need to catch up to whats going on.

(3,115 posts)It is basically a way of saying "We don't even respect you enough to tell the obvious truth." and "We are performing and we will make you watch the performance." and "You (citizens) are nothing."
Once you acquiesce to their lies, you are no longer an individual but merely a tool in their arsenal.
