  1. Reading or listening to how these ghouls talk is just so depressing and infuriating. People who speak like Noem should never be anywhere near power. Even if they were speaking that way to defend correct positions, sounding like an elementary schooler hurling immature insults should be disqualifying for the podiums she stands at.

  5. Get your hands off a US Senator. No respect for anything anymore.

  7. > “We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and mayor have placed on this country and what they’ve tried to insert in this city,” she said, raising her voice toward the end to speak over the protests of Padilla.

    Apparently ICE Barbie doesn’t realize that our governor and mayor were democratically elected by the people. Donald Trump didn’t win in California or Los Angeles. We don’t want their “liberation.”

    So they are “liberating” LA and California from the leadership elected by the citizens? The march towards authoritarianism continues.

    Reminds me of the Vietnam War quote from the US Army during the Battle of Ben Trey

    >”we had to destroy the village to save it”

  11. And Fox News cheered this. 70+ million are being told the Senator was “out of line”. Nothing else. Yet still I get grief for comparing our timeline to 1930’s Germany. Now just imagine if Hitler had social media..? Looks like we’re going to find out that scenario.

    This is an offensive operation against Los Angeles.

    They intend to soft-conquer the State of California.

  13. “Liberating” the second-largest city in the country, of which a block is “occupied”, by, what, .0032% of the population? 🙄

    Anything to feel big, eh, puppy-killer?

  14. Good thing I put detaining a democratically elected senator for hurting puppy murderers feelings on my bingo card. I’m a RFK banning cancer diagnosis’ away from bingo!

  15. Wow. We are watching the slide into authoritarianism in real time.

  16. That’s how they treated a U.S. Senator… They are acting like Democrats will never have power again… That’s the scary part.

  17. >We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and mayor have

    Um, did this piece of work* just threaten to violently overthrow the elected government the city of Los Angeles and the state of California using the military. She should be in prison.

  19. I hate how a dog killer from a flyover state with less than a million people in it is dictating policies in places she knows nothing about. How could she know anything about California when she’s spent her whole life on the prairie shooting puppies in her back yard?

  20. Imagine if Joe Biden had a Republican US Senator dragged out of a press conference and detained.

  21. He has more of a right to be speaking there than she fucking does! He was actually elected by those same people to represent him. She should be shutting her fucking mouth while he talks! He belongs there! She is just an appointed talking photo op because she killed a puppy, and Maga thought it was funny

  22. We are no longer a functional republic. We all must act in defense of democracy.

  23. Proud of my Senator for standing up for his constituents, his city and real Americans everywhere against these country fried, confederate fascists.

  25. Really need the democratic leadership to sit up and take notice. These fascists will do this again. And then they’ll escalate it every time until they jail any one who tries to question or stop them.

    There must not be any more cooperation with the GOP. No votes on every piece of legislation. Uses every procedural trick McConnell used to grind the senate to a halt.

    If they don’t take action now, they’ll settle for nothing later.

  26. DHS thinks it has more authority than congress. DHS thinks it has more authority than the courts. DHS thinks they run the fucking country. Its time to shut them down and prosecute everyone involved

  27. This is horrific. Senator Padilla is an elected official speaking on behalf of elected constituents about issues in his state. All he was doing was questioning Noem – in his own state!! For him to be forcibly removed and handcuffed….this is beyond alarm bells. Every single decent American should be in the streets this weekend for the “No Kings” protests.
