“Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told one source who relayed her comments to Axios.

Pretti, 37, was legally carrying a handgun when he was tackled by multiple federal agents, but video shows he did not brandish the weapon. Agents can be seen on video disarming Pretti before firing numerous shots into him while he was on the ground, killing him.
Man they’re really going for Nazi 2.0 with “I was just following orders” and all
Speedrunning the Third Reich, the Confederacy, and the Nixon Administration all at once.

(Seriously, they all copied notes off each other)
More like, The Turds Reich.
Don’t forget the fall of the Roman empire.
Honestly, I kind of hope so. It didn’t go well for the emperors or politicos or the nobility, but the average lower-class person’s life substantively improved when Rome fell.
We are not in 400 ad, we are in the 1st bc. In the time of Sulla, a generation before caesar, in the agrarian revolt and civil wars and him becoming dictator for life, 10 years, and killing and stealing the assets of his rich pals that supported him because they feared moderate reforms under the populares. This is increased oligarchic repression in a terminally sick republic.
When is the Night of the Long Knives?
You do not have to follow unlawful orders. Not in the military and not for a shitty political party.
This was a conspiracy to commit murder, “go start riots by attacking protesters so marshal law can be declared prior to midterms” Murderous traitors.
Who gives a fuck who told her to violate the Constitution - imprison them
The party of personal responsibility
This part, afaik, lies with the officers who fired the shots, and then moves directly up the ‘chain of command’. I suspect they were told that things needed a little stirring up, so someone a level up ordered that group of agents to murder someone in cold blood, that day. Prove me wrong. Or let the charges be filed. Let the arrests begin with Noem, and Miller, and end with the grunts that did the dirty work.
Edit: @corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca commented that it is difficult to impossible to prove a negative. And I agree from a logic standpoint this is true. With the new day comes additional information, so I say, Fine, then, prove me correct. Let the agents stand trial for 1st Degree Murder, which tho’ I am not a lawyer, I still suspect this is a crime in Minnesota. Let the jury decide if it is beyond a reasonable doubt that these agents committed 1st Degree Murder, planned, and purposefully.

No, it’s simpler than that. No conspiracy here, just individual revenge.
Pretti got into an altercation with ICE a week ago, and they broke his rib. He got in their way again and they executed him.

That’s what we’re dealing with. No oversight, and supervisors actively looking the other way whenever possible as long as they bring bodies into the camps.
Nytimes just character assassinated pretti.
NYT is a rag, it’s done.
It’s just a wordle platform at this point. Can’t even do a crossword puzzle without pay wall.
Come on, there’s plenty of room under that bus for both of them, public transportation is efficient like that.
He’s frequently under a bus, whenever one drives over his bridge.
Throw Stephen under all of the busses please. Especially the literal IRL ones.
It’s a matter of time before someone spits in their coffee. For now they can just go fuck off.
Trump, Stephen Miller, and the rest of this administration should be executed on the national mall. Elon too fuck it
And Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, Curtis yarvin, every politician on the Epstein list and every politician taking AIPAC money should be tried for treason
I’d trade Dogkiller for Count Orlaff
