[Just thought I would re-post a past example of the “logic” and level of analogies being embraced by I.C.E. protesters…]
Quote #1:
“Why did you have real bullets?!”
—Becca Good, the wife of dead activist Renee Nicole Good, after witnessing her wife’s shooting death by an I.C.E. officer.
This has to be one of the stupidest quotes Ethics Alarms has ever covered. It demonstrates how estranged from reality so many of the anti-I.C.E. and Trump Deranged protesters, demonstrators and activists are. On MS-Now, the pro-multiple sclerosis news channel, a bizarre anti-gun nut deemed worthy of a position on a televised panel discussion said this…
Yes, why do law enforcement officers carry guns (with real bullets!)?
The real questions should be…
1) “Why do crazed progressives think that it is reasonable, justifiable, ethical or safe to interfere with lawful law enforcement activity?”
2) “How did American citizens, some of them of above average intelligence, get the bonkers idea that interfering with I.C.E. operations wasn’t a crime?“
3) “When will CNN, MSNBC and other news outlets stop giving a platform to “experts” and elected officials who tell their audiences that Rachel Good was “murdered”?” That position is completely contrary to known facts, as well as court decisions. This morning I heard some asshole saying that on CNN with no contradiction or push-back from the host whatsoever. The host even said “Thank-you.” Thank-you for misleading our dim-witted audience members and helping to put both Federal officers and stupid protesters (who might not expect them to use real bullets) in jeopardy!
Quote #2: (the letters in parentheses are mine, to be referenced in my commentary)…
“In these times, (A) I see a lot of “this is serious! Why aren’t people doing more?” types of posts. (B) And it’s a position with which I largely agree! This is a dire moment for the nation and the world. (C) But I often see such posts from people who haven’t been posting about what THEY are doing to defend the republic. (D) Some thoughts:
(1) Waiting around for other people to participate in a mass movement in which you are not visibly participating is not a great strategy on any level; (E)
(2) If you are contributing, consider posting about it. Let others know that they are not alone; (F) and
(3) If there are safety/security reasons that preclude you from talking up your actions, consider that one reason that you’re not seeing posts about it is because others are similarly acting but not publicizing.* (G)
*Another reason could be that Meta is in bed with FOTUS and his followers and is skewing the algorithms to try to suppress news of resistance. (H)
Instead of lamenting that others aren’t standing up and fighting back, stand up and fight back. (I) Join groups! Participate ! FWIW most of the protests/actions in which I have participated have ultimately involved more people – sometimes substantially more – than I expected. That encourages me.” (J)
Yes, that one was from my Facebook feed. The writer is a retired lawyer and a nice guy who has nothing better to do, apparently, but to attend demonstrations by his bubble members that will have no productive results at all, except perhaps to get more silly people killed with those pesky real bullets.
Comments:
A. “In these times,” the Mantra of the Bubble! As EA has noted before, these deluded and biased people just assume that everybody they know is similarly Trump Deranged. That is also the refrain pandering corporate TV ads like to use. What “times,” pal? Times that your party is having to deal with losing an election? Times where totalitarian plans for single-party domination have suffered a setback? Times when a President is actually trying to reverse the results of your party’s open borders policy? Stop communicating in code and say what you mean. Are you afraid that once you get into specifics, your position will sound as absurd as it is?
B. You should also be seeing posts like that referring to why we aren’t doing more to oppose and discredit the crazies, like you. You don’t, even though there are lot of people seeing your post who would post that if you wouldn’t unfriend them and call them fascists because you believe thinking differently from the cult makes one unfit for human contact.
C. Again, why is it a “dire moment?”
D. Opposing the Rule of Law, law enforcement and the constitutional use of Presidential powers is to “defend the republic.” You’re on, Sidney…
E. What’s your “mass movement”? Insurrection? Civil war? Open borders? “Good discrimination”? No Presidents who send out mean tweets? Support for Pravda-like journalism?
F. I suppose it is comforting to know others are as hysterical, fearful and civically ignorant and irresponsible as you are…
G. Or consider that a lot of people are smart enough not to post “I am an anti-American tool” in a public forum…or that some Facebook users recognize that most people don’t use the platform to be preached to by political obsessives…
H. Riiiiight. People like my deranged friend decided that Meta was evil when it stopped censoring posts based on factchecks by the likes of Politifact and Snopes, aka, partisan biased hacks.
I. Funny, President Trump’s use of “fight” in the same way in 2021 was used to claim he was inciting a riot….
J. Yes, there are more paid protesters, blind mob followers, anti-American groups and morons than even you can imagine.
I have decided that my response to these FB rants from people I otherwise like and respect will now be the “Haha!” imoji. It stands out among all the likes, hearts and angry faces. If a recipient wants to call me out, then swell: the gloves come off. The poster will regret it.

The government in Iran is slaughtering its people by the thousands. I can’t wait to see the left’s reaction to the Trump administration’s doing something about it.
The meme up top is misleading, as nearly all memes are. While it is true that the movie “The Sound of Music” shows the von Trapps walking over the mountains to reach the border, the film took a great many creative liberties with the real story.
In fact, the von Trapps traveled legally by train to Italy where the captain had citizenship owing to his birth.
Besides, not everyone coming across our border is fleeing Nazi Germany. To imply that all of them face the same predicament the von Trapps did is disingenuous.
I know someone that’s always been apolitical, never liked Trump, and rarely ever talks about anything political. It’s really clear that this is changing. Over the last 12 months this person has slipped further and further into Trump derangement, the hate is growing, swallowing every extreme piece of anti-Trump propaganda, openly voicing hate for Trump, and visibly mad at everything “Trump”. I don’t think it wouldn’t be an unreasonable statement to say that this person thinks Trump is evil therefore everything Trump does is also evil.
Yesterday I was completely shocked after briefly discussing an ABC news report that there were thousands of protesters killed by the Iranian regime. A statement from me started the conversation, I said…
The reply was…
My reply was…
The reply that I got back completely shocked me, it was…
It was really clear that the statement was not meant as a joke, it was completely serious. My audibly shocked reply was…
There was dead silence after that. This person knows without any doubt that I read and watch news sources across the political spectrum to get a variety.
TDS is spreading.
