    1. You should not get your picture taken with those lip filler bruises because it’s all we can “hear”.

    2. TreebeardsMustache on

      April 19, 2026 is the 31st anniversary of a man bombing a fedral building, and murdering 167 people, including children, because he **imagined** a cadre of *jackbooted thugs* was coming after white people.

    3. They have the memory of a fruit fly. They are utterly incapable of logical consistency. “Second amendment bad now!”

      That’s literally the only thing Rittenhouse and Alex Pretti have in common. Pretti was an RN who made it his life’s ambition to help other people Rittenhouse is a pudgy fuck up too stupid to pass the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery

    5. Sure, she’s lied before, but why wouldn’t I trust known dog trainer Kristi Noem this time?

      ^(Right… the videos showing clear as day, this guy getting pepper sprayed, dragged to the ground by multiple people, getting wailed on, disarmed, and only then being shot 10 times by a bunch an ICE agent.)

    6. So every Jan 6 armed individual was a violent rioter. Every person who shows up to legislative hearings about gun rights and is armed is a violent rioter and not a protester. She is clearly not smart enough to consider her words and what she’s saying.

    7. 10 bullets… in the back of a man on the ground. Let that sink in. How many times did she shoot her dog? Pretti got worse treatment.

      She’s not wrong, it’s just that she doesn’t know any peaceful protesters period.

    9. In Trump’s own words:

      “KEEP PROTESTING — TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price.”

    10. It’s very clear what helps here. Documentation.

      everyone, EVERYONE should be filming.

      Get a body cam or action cam and wear it on you (head, chest, shoulder, holding it risks getting it stolen by the government) and record everything.

      We cannot rely on due process or investigations, they will lie, mis-remember and write a narrative that is always in their favor.

      What we the people must do is document the evidence ourselves.

    11. A tangentially related question… has everyone in the Trump admin moved on to military bases to protect themselves from the public? I know ~~Goebbles~~ Miller did, but is the same true for the rest of the Nazi regime? I would think if the likes of Noem were living amongst civilians she wouldn’t be able to leave her residence without thousands of people observing and protesting.

    12. Noem doesn’t remember when armed Trump supporters showed up at voting centers.

      Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t show up to peaceably protest, he crossed state lines and brought a gun to a democratic so he could kill people. That was his entire intent.

    14. The hypocrisy is deafening especially after you consider that Rittenhouse showed up with the intention to do harm to others. So if right wingers are willing to defend a similar but more malicious scenario then they have no reason to say Alex deserved what he got or should’ve known better. Maybe my bias is showing but Alex did not seem to have malicious intent in mind. I can relate to his potential line of thinking where having a weapon might deter federal goons from using theirs.
