    Holy shit they just detained a sitting US senator for asking a question.

    Is it me or are they hitting the gas pedal on fascism too hard? Like this will even anger libs. They actually care about decorum, and the respect and authority of elected offices.

    I posted in this the other news thread about this story but the sentiment stands, because damn are these chuds getting bold.

      What, for lawfully arresting a democratic sneator for disruptive behaviour?

      I hope not yet. I still need to get a gun.

      Not that it will help against a whole squad of ICE/SWAT/marines or whatever jack boot thugs they get to take out communists soon, but at at least I can make them work for it.

    Update. He gave a speech after being removed. He said he was handcuffed but not arrested and that he tried to interrupt the press conference by asking a question because he doesn’t support ICE’s activity in California.
