And...

"Victor, I think that we should let viewers know there will likely be more arrests coming," McLaughlin claimed. " We actually have body camera footage of some of these members of Congress assaulting our ICE enforcement officers, including body slamming a female ICE officer. So we will be showing that to viewers very shortly."

A member of Congress body slamming someone?

That'll be a deepfake, which I cynically expected sooner or later, but tried not to think about, since that means that things are about to take a really ugly turn.

At this rate, the fascists are going to be digging mass graves before the year is out

There were a LOT of phones out recording during the scuffle.

I mean, if these poor little ICE agents can be felled by the bodyslamming skills of [checks article] a congressperson, I'll tear through them like a hurricane!

I want to know who, how, and when this bodyslam occurs. I see no bodyslam in any video I can find.

Unless Jesse Ventura came out of retirement and won a seat in Congress without me knowing it, it's all just MAGA kayfabe.

And now it's in my head...

Here I am!
Bodyslamming Hurricane!!!

Mm... then this is likely just a bluff this time around - something to scare the politicians and for the base to file away so they're even more inclined to support the coming mass arrests.

Ironically, in 2017 there was a congressman that body slammed a reporter. It was the GOP representative Greg Gianforte.

Current Montana governor Greg Gianforte

it's nice to see there are consequences

If a Democrat body slammed one of those fascists I’ll eat my hat and promptly apologize for saying they are weak. I don’t believe it.

Democrats are never as cool as Republicans say they are.

I kind of doubt it's a deepfake. I suspect it is just bullshit made up. They might, potentially, be wildly misrepresenting something that wasn't that, but they also might be living in their new fact-free world where you just say crazy shit all the time.

(Flashback to the time the cops charged Tiny, the Hell's Angel, with all sorts of felonies for breaking a cop's leg, and then it turned out there was video of one cop running up and hitting Tiny in the head with a baton and him falling down coincidentally onto the second cop's leg and breaking it. Tiny was a big dude.)

If that was legitimate video it would have been released yesterday.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 6 points 1 month ago

The way this typically works is that a cop will attack someone, knowing that the bodycam doesn't show anything up close except shaky footage while exclaiming 'stop attacking me' or something similar. It looks bad for the victim and juries fall for it. Let's hope there's footage from a wider angle.

NO.

You ARM UP and dig THEIR graves.

These are NAZIS. There is only ONE WAY to deal with NAZIS.
