Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as ā€œdeeply disturbingā€ and accused the Trump administration of a ā€œrogue abuse of powerā€ just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections.

      People are comparing it to the live broadcast execution from the incompetent fascist government in the Starship Troopers movie. I called it ā€œsomewhere between clockwork orange and running manā€.

        I don’t know what that means, but it’s so vile from a human rights perspective. I keep forgetting that the U.S. still does executions. Baffling how the U.S. has posed themselves as the ā€œleader of the free worldā€, and how many just willingly suck that up for so long when they are brutal, cruel, and inhumane in all aspects of living.
