  1. Simple thugs on a power trip. I’m tired of all this winning.

  2. No shit. And of course the Gestapo won’t be punished.

  3. Batshit crazy conversation as expected:

    >“Trump’s got all federal agencies kind of coming together for seven days, going out, trying to stop the violent crime, all kinds of stuff. So we’re out here contacting people, talking to ’em, right?” the officer continues. “The quality of life offenses—smoking, drinking in public—it can’t happen outside, right? Most people know that. So we’re contacting people, trying to advise them of the law so they learn, right? And then if there’s other stuff going on where it turns into … there’s multiple agencies, if there’s a shooting or things like that…. We’re just out here trying to inform people and educate people, it’s not like we’re trying to just go … ruin someone’s life over a joint or something like that, alright?” 

    Dude he’s accosting tries to ask him what the hell he’s talking about and he replies: 

    >“Yeah well it smelled like the odor of marijuana, burnt marijuana in the air, right? And you’re the only guy that had something lit in your hand…. I didn’t realize it was just a cigarette, I appreciate you … not getting chippy,” the officer responds. “Just know, learn. Tell your boys, everybody’s out. From FBI to Park Police. So do your thing, let ’em know, don’t be smoking outside, don’t be drinking outside. Because Donald Trump’s tired of it.”  

    Straight up authoritarian harassment

  5. They need to provoke a response to cause the violence they’ll use to justify cancelling midterms. 

  6. About two-thirds of the US population lives within the 100-mile border enforcement zone.

    The border includes the oceans and other bodies of water, not just the land borders with Canada and Mexico. So that means that DC, as well as many other major cities such as LA, SF, NY, Boston and Chicago are located in the zone. The zone also includes the entire state of Florida.

  7. >Federal law enforcement has begun patrolling public areas in Washington, D.C., and harassing normal civilians in the wake of President Trump’s federal takeover of the district.

    >In one video posted on Reddit Monday night, four police officers, one of whom is clearly from the U.S. Park Police, can be seen walking up to some men smoking cigarettes on a stoop. The officers question the men before warning them to “tell their boys” that the entire federal police force is out and looking for reasons to accost people.

    The interaction:

    >“How y’all doing today? Y’all staying out of trouble?” says one of the officers, wearing a backward hat and a vest with “US Park Police” on it. He sees one of the men sitting down filming and immediately confronts him.

    >“You got your ID on you, champ?” the officer asks, walking up the steps closer to the men.

    >“No, I live right here…. It’s a cigarette.”

    >The Park Police officer begins to shine his flashlight and look the men up and down with suspicion.

    >“Did y’all get a call or something about right here?” the man filming asks. Then the Park Police agent begins to explain Trump’s takeover of the city.

    >“So we’re uh, doing checks, keeping everybody safe down here, right? Have you heard of the federal search that Donald Trump’s puttin’ out?” he asks, before going on to explain the trivial goals of the federal agents.

    >“Trump’s got all federal agencies kind of coming together for seven days, going out, trying to stop the violent crime, all kinds of stuff. So we’re out here contacting people, talking to ’em, right?” the officer continues. “The quality of life offenses—smoking, drinking in public—it can’t happen outside, right? Most people know that. So we’re contacting people, trying to advise them of the law so they learn, right?

We’re just out here trying to inform people and educate people, it’s not like we’re trying to just go … ruin someone’s life over a joint or something like that, alright?”

    >“I only ask because when you walked up, at the moment you walked up, you only had asked me—” the man filming tried to object.

    >“Yeah well it smelled like the odor of marijuana, burnt marijuana in the air, right? And you’re the only guy that had something lit in your hand…. I didn’t realize it was just a cigarette, I appreciate you … not getting chippy,” the officer responds. “Just know, learn. Tell your boys, everybody’s out. From FBI to Park Police. So do your thing, let ’em know, don’t be smoking outside, don’t be drinking outside. Because Donald Trump’s tired of it.”

    >This officer approached some men who were at their own home, asked them for ID, and lectured them about staying out of trouble. And then warned them that more people like him from three-letter government organizations would be coming to make sure they weren’t doing evil things like smoking cigarettes or weed peacefully on the steps of their own residence.

    Big Brother is looking out for you, making sure that you don’t smoke on your own *fucking* property. “Party of small government” my fucking ass.

    [Trump Border Czar Confirms Racial Profiling Is Now Law of the Land](https://newrepublic.com/post/197869/trump-immigration-czar-racial-profiling-ice-detentions)

    >Immigration Czar Tom Homan just enthusiastically confirmed what we already knew: ICE is using indiscriminate racial profiling tactics to detain immigrants.

    >“People need to understand, ICE officers and border patrol, they don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain ‘em and question ‘em,” Homan said when asked about a Los Angeles federal judge issuing a temporary restraining order on his west coast immigration crackdown. “Get our typical facts based on the location, the occupation, their physical appearance, their actions … agents are trained what they need to detain somebody temporarily and question them is not probable cause, it’s reasonable suspicion. We’re trained on that. Every agent gets 4th amendment training over and over again.”

    [Trump Is Asking the Supreme Court to Bless Stephen Miller’s Racial Profiling](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/08/trump-supreme-court-stephen-miller-racial-profiling.html)

    >On Thursday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to lift an injunction blocking ICE’s mass arrest program based on unconstitutional racial profiling. The injunction, issued by a district court in California, bars Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from arresting people because of four factors, alone or in combination: “appearing” Hispanic, speaking Spanish or accented English, working a particular type of job, and being present at a place where immigrants “are known to gather.” The Justice Department claimed that the district court “egregiously” and “needlessly upended immigration enforcement” by prohibiting such arrests and sought permission to resume them immediately.

    >Trump said cops will be allowed to do “whatever the hell they want.”

  8. “Trumps’ Agencies” “Trumps tired of it”

    No city, no citizens, nothing local. One man.

    And when he asks this clown parade to shoot, he will. The one thing they have besides below average intelligence is fealty to his power.

  10. They are provoking people so they will fight back, then someone will be killed by the cops which will trigger more civil unrest which attracts more military thugs which turns into a full on riot that will spread to other cities and boom Martial law and bye bue midterms

    Project 2025 everyone.

  11. > “Yeah well it smelled like the odor of marijuana, burnt marijuana in the air, right? And you’re the only guy that had something lit in your hand….

    Who gives a rat’s fucking ass what Donald J. Trump is tired of? I’d argue that the overwhelming number of Americans are tired of *him*.

  12. Who are the ‘agents’? Aren’t they regular Americans? Why are they being so complicit?

  14. A more accurate headline would be:

    “Pigs Oink At Innocent Citizens in Attempt to Earn Another Lick of the Boot”

  15. Wow. Who would have thought that once in power the law does not matter. Please explain to me how this is making America great again? Where are the defenders of the constitution against a tyrannical government? How does a pedo gets this much power?

  16. Soon, they’ll be coming inside people’s houses.

  17. Bunch of orange dick rapeist apprentice puppets 

  19. Should ask the agents if they have found the Epstein files?

  20. Trump’s ideas for combatting crime include his buying full-page ads in NYC newspapers that called for the summary executions of five Black teens who were imprisoned for a brutal assault on a woman jogger in Central Park in 1989 but were later exonerated via DNA evidence and the confession of a convicted rapist and murderer. He has never apologized.

  22. Brown Shirts are here. Wake up America. Who am I kidding? They’re all too busy with Fox News and Love Island to do anything meaningful aren’t they?

  25. Are you sure it’s “randomly”? I feel pretty confident it will be targeting black and brown people. 

  26. Oh, so Trump was referring to public smoking and drinking when he declared a “crime emergency” or whatever he said?

    What a POS.

  27. They’re trying to provoke any kind of incident that can then be called an insurrection.

  28. what would happen if you replied:

    “fuck donald trump, i don’t give a shit what he wants”

  30. TIL smoking legal weed outside is “violent crime”.

    The more you know.

  31. Inevitably, some teenager in a more economically unstable area is going to get murdered for… I don’t know— “aggressively skateboarding” or… being brown and not being sufficiently polite to a gang of armed thugs with dubious qualifications and seriously misplaced loyalties [Loyal to trump, not to the constitution or to the rule of law].

    What follows will be a manufactured disinformation blitz about the poor kid and his links to street gangs. People will probably take to the streets, and then the tanks can roll in to “restore order”.

  32. I’m going to laugh my ass off when crime in DC actually goes up after this because these turds are just walking around mostly in wealthy areas downtown and doing absolutely nothing.

    I’m in downtown DC right now and all I’ve seen is a bunch of unmarked SUVs with dudes just sitting in them wasting taxpayer dollars when they should be doing their jobs.

  33. Enabling power-hungry “officers” to go do whatever they want. Disgusting.

  34. This is insane gestapo shit. Just patrolling the streets harassing people who are smoking cigarettes!? This is going to be bad during the next protest

  35. Reverse the roles and you tell me how receptive this would be small town USA

  37. He said he would do this.

    People refused to believe it.

  38. It’s just crazy to me that they’re using the smell of weed as an excuse to go up and start harrassing someone. You walk through the streets of DC for half an hour and smell weed like a dozen times, no one gives a fuck.

  39. I am really surprised that this officer could say all that with Donald Trump‘s dick so far down his throat. Saying that Donald Trump is personally tired of seeing things is hilarious. Trump couldn’t tell you what was actually happening in Washington DC if he walked the streets every day. people always wonder how Germany fell under Hitler’s rule. People like this officer is prime examples of how it happens.

  40. Brownshirts. Americans have lost their balls to put up with this crap.
