Fu*%face Von Clownstick

I am not usually one to post in political threads, as I am in the minority here and don’t wish for contention. However, I received a phone call this evening that has prompted a post in this thread.

The family of a former employee of mine (he had to leave trees for a while for health reasons, but he was expecting to get back to it this Spring) called me to ask if I could recommend a lawyer.

My former employee, whom I’ll call Marco, was picked up by ICE back in November. Now mind you, he has a green card he just got last year, after nearly 20 years working in this country and tens of thousands spent on lawyers and paperwork. Therefore, he is legal. He owns a house here, which is paid for. He has a wife and kids here. Owns a paid-for pickup truck here, and has worked and paid taxes here for more than two decades. Seems like the kind of person we should desire to have in this country.

Since he’s been in custody, his family called a lawyer and paid more than $10,000 to help Marco get out. Turns out the lawyer was a scammer, so now they’re pretty well broke as well as missing a husband and father. That makes me just as mad as the fact that ICE picked him up to begin with.

All this makes me want to do something, but there’s not an awful lot I can do besides help his family find a good lawyer and pray that Marco gets out and can get back to work and his family quickly.

I’m against illegal immigration, yes, but I also believe as a Christian that we are responsible to help those who need it, and believe as an American that we need people like Marco in this country. This is a nation of immigrants, let’s not chase all the good ones away!
I heard from Marco’s family again today, with some sad news. It looks like he is going to be deported, and likely as soon as next week. Lawyers have been called, but they all say that nothing more can be done. Once the government decides to deport someone, apparently it can’t be stopped.

This makes me very upset, the poor guy has been a productive, law abiding member of society for more than 20 years, and wanted nothing more than to live here, work hard, and raise a family in the States. Now, after all he’s spent to make sure he was here legally, our government is throwing him out.

He has also asked me to sell a few things for him, which I will post in TreeBay. I’m not sure what they’re all worth because I’m out of touch with the used market, and I want to be sure I get fair value for him, so if anyone can help I’d appreciate it. This country might not do right by the poor guy, but I want to do my best to do right for him myself.
 
I'm dog-sitting for a friend who has long business ties in China, currently in China There are positives to massive surveillance, I hear. Safety from mentally ill and some crime. He said he would sent his 14 y.o. daughter to the store on foot in the middle of the night without worry. They're fluent.
 

The video, recorded from inside a home, showed several people frantically talking in Spanish to what appeared to be 911 dispatchers, one of whom seemed to be translating for the other. The video did not show anyone who appeared wounded.

“Please, help us. We have children,” a man says after several people tell the dispatcher that the person in question had been shot in the leg.

The Department of Homeland Security said tonight that a federal officer had shot a Venezuelan man in the leg after what the agency said was an “ambush.” It was not immediately clear whether the shooting described in the video was the same one referenced by federal and city officials.

NBC News has geolocated the video to the same neighborhood in North Minneapolis, where officials said the shooting occurred. The video was posted around the time of the shooting.

The person who posted the video did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The person filming the video at various points opens the curtains of a window. Red and blue flashing lights from a vehicle can been seen outside.

“They were chasing my husband for about half an hour,” a woman in the video can be heard telling dispatchers. “They were trying to crash into him and he got to the house, and since we closed the door on them, they shot him.”

The woman tells the dispatchers that ICE agents are outside the property, trying to get in.

“Tell them they shot the door,” another woman’s voice can be heard saying. “Son, come. Son, come.”

At least two young children can be seen in the video.”




Shoot him in the eye, blinding him, draggin him off by the back of the shirt collar choking him.

This is bad news indeed. What about go fund me? I would be down for helping Marco and la familia.

America is currently involved in some good old fashioned ethic cleansing, plain and simple.


The Trump administration tells us they are rounding up criminals ("the bad hombres"), but the evidence says otherwise. In fact quite he opposite.

So sorry that happened to your friend, thanks for trying to help.

In slightly other news a handful of Ogala peoples are locked up with an ultimatum from Ice, the fine print allows for ICE operations on tribal sovereign lands.
The fucken sick and twisted irony is they are being held in Ft Snelling. The site of the largest mass execution in US history where 38 Lakota were killed by the federal government.
The tribe obviously is refusing to sign an operational agreement with ICE, can’t imagine why?

“The irony is not lost on us,” Frank Star Comes Out said. “Lakota citizens who are reported to be held at Fort Snelling — a site forever tied to the Dakota 38 — underscores why treaty obligations and federal accountability matter today, not just in history.”


The coming days and weeks are going to get very interesting.
 
Trump is stashing hundreds of millions dollars of Venezuela's stolen oil money in Qatar. Out of the reach of our laws and legal system. A move straight out of the Putin/Russia playbook..

I would be remiss if I didn't mention it was Qatar who gifted Trump the $400 million Jumbo jet lat year....And it was Qatar who invested $1.2 billion in Jared Kushner's (Donny's son in law) failing business.

It only took the might of the US military, an act of war, some good old fashioned piracy and pillaging, and the invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation, but the petulant little boy finally got his prize-


This got me to thinking about the Greenland issue. Surely someone in Greenland or Denmark has a Nobel Peace Prize laying around that they could "gift" to Donny. Since this would stop World War 3 from popping off this person would surely be awarded another Nobel peace prize which they could also bequeath to Donny, thus making him the only person in history to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 3 times. Problem solved! Your welcome.

Why doesn't he use the money to build the wall - the one Mexico was suppose to pay for?
