Can't let this one go. An American citizen was murdered on video by Trump's Gestapo, and the administration and his bootlickers are trying to gaslight the nation. It's all over if this becomes yesterday's news. There have been thousands of line in the sand moments already. This one needs to stick. I'm going to hold my friends and family accountable for their "opinion" on this incident. Enough.
More on Renee Nicole Macklin Good, the victim: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/01/08/renee-good-woman-killed-by-ice-agent-in-minneapolis-was-a-mother-poet-and-new-to-the-city Macklin Good had a daughter and her son from her first marriage, who are now ages 15 and 12. Her 6-year-old son was from her second marriage. Trump administration officials painted Macklin Good as a domestic terrorist who had attempted to ram federal agents with her car. Her ex-husband said she was no activist and that he had never known her to participate in a protest of any kind. Her ex-husband, who asked not to be named out of concern for the safety of their children, said Macklin Good had just dropped off her 6-year-old son at school Wednesday and was driving home with her current partner when they encountered a group of ICE agents on a snowy street in Minneapolis, where they had moved last year from Kansas City, Missouri. He described her as a devoted Christian who took part in youth mission trips to Northern Ireland when she was younger. She loved to sing, participating in a chorus in high school and studying vocal performance in college.
I woke up this morning angrier about this than yesterday. Doesn't help to see Vance continue to double down on this all being Renee Good's fault. Also, I don't think Dems should call ICE a terrorist organization. I think they should talk about abolishing it. No more name calling, promise action.
Fox News is practically considered liberal media to diehard Trumpers. They are watching further-right TV now. And also don't forget conservative radio. Lots of Michael Berry listeners out there (at least in Houston, don't know his national outreach). Then obviously the grifters on social media. It's a large scale coordinated attack built on shared beliefs: disingenuousness, amorality, and fake Christian values.
And he took another shot after he was physically in the clear. Amazing - but not surprising - that the argument from right-wingers is the only person that has any responsibility here is a citizen, not "trained" law enforcement.
There was always a positive argument for Arch playing at Newman, just like his uncles. Their teams were filled with 200 lb guys on the offensive line. Every Manning had shitty protection in high school and dealt with tons of hits/pressure. I'd bet anything they all think it benefitted their play and careers.
Yes! Some people have found favorable odds and capitalized, then the app started limiting those people's wagers to like $5. Also the odds are generally WAY WORSE on the betting apps. It's completely designed to take people's money, much more so than before.
I feel like I"m going insane. Are people just so distracted by so many other things that they don't see what's happening? I wish more in society could walk and chew gum at the same time. I always liked gambling a little money on sports. I liked the action and could always control my bets. But I have to admit the fact that it was a "vice" made it more appealing. Now that it's legal, anyone can do it, and it dominates sports culture, it's all off-putting to me. Especially knowing how many people can't control themselves and are losing tons of money. It literally affects the economy!
Well, yeah. I'll also add some blame on Trump/MAGA for the gambling epidemic. Fanduel, DraftKings, Polymarket, Valshi...wtf are we doing? We have become a lawless nation.
