DHS Agents Arrest Man by Pretending to Be Stranded Motorists... A Ploy to Get The "Worst of the Worst" Who are Midwest Nice - FuelArc News

Dateline, Minneapolis: There’s a new clip going around of federal agents in Minneapolis that feels like comic-book-villain-level police work. It’s hard to watch without wondering if those “targeted” immigration enforcement operations we hear so much about aren’t just targeting Good Samaritans.

Honestly, I would fall into this trap.

The federal agent genuinely sounds like she is a person having car trouble, this trap would work on me because I guess I too am a fundamentally decent person.

    In the history of DNC, there was only one time when delegates didn’t chose the same candidate as the people, and that was when Obama lost the popular vote to Clinton by almost 1%.

    lol, why is it almost always aggrieved Clinton stans?

    Incidentally, the Clinton bit is such a stretch it’s fair to call it a lie.

    Q: Did Clinton win the popular vote?

    A: Obama won more votes unless you count Michigan, where he wasn’t on the ballot.

    The fact there was a mere 1% difference in the votes she received despite her getting an entire extra state compared to him shows how wildly popular he was. Ignoring that would have been choosing a different candidate than the people were choosing; they didn’t make some incredible decision that paid off because they know better than their voters, they just knew what would have happened if both their names had been on that ballot and knew which way the wind was blowing.

      It’s deeply weird to me that you assumed I stan Clinton when I just point out this deeply funny statistic. The fact that you assumed I stan her might say something about your motivation and ideas than you care to admit.
      It even prevented you from understanding why I brought up this and what it means for the “everything is rigged, nothing we do matters, better not to do anything” side of this argument.
