In an attempt to argue that ICE protestors are radically out of control, the emergency appeal argues, “The federal agents’ efforts are met with prolonged, coordinated, violent resistance that threatens their lives and safety and systematically interferes with their ability to enforce federal law.” The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.

The White House was caught trying to pass off footage of violence in red states as footage from the “chaos” in Chicago last week.

    Let’s all be honest for a moment. We have all became way more invested in politics right now due to trump. A lot of us (myself) paid attention, sure, but not like i do now. I am way more vigilant about finding out who is paying who, what companies I need to boycott, questioning every Dems loyalty to the people. Scrutinizing everything from both sides.

    Being a little uncomfortable has made me a more invested citizen.

    I really just couldn’t be bothered to put this much time into politics before. I never thought it was going to go backwards. I incorrectly assumed things would continue progressing. I kept an eye on things. Always voted dem. Never checked for apac apaic money.

    Now I do. And I check what they voted for in the past. I go through all their history before I endorse.

      That’s a good answer.

      I wasn’t trying to back you into a corner or anything but I wasn’t expecting an answer I would nod along too.
