Democratic Operatives
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
After rambling on about all the expensive social programs women allegedly need to have babies, and how Trump wants to nuke them all so having babies is a bad idea, Shrillary tried to rehash the Dems' failed “Project 2025” narrative. Trump has repeatedly said he did not have any input on the report from the conservative Heritage Foundation and didn’t necessarily endorse everything in it.
The scorn the twice-failed candidate has for folks who want large families is noxious, and she just can’t imagine women devoted to being mothers instead of childless D.C. apparatchiks:
She sums up this bilious spew by slyly indicating her support for illegal immigration and also saying folks who make different choices than she did belong back in a different decade:
Kamala Harris Will Spend the Summer Weighing Three Options for Her Political Future, According to New Report
The report states, “According to several who’ve spoken with Harris, she is genuinely undecided, torn between concern and affection for her home state and an undimmed desire to be president.”
“Of the three options, the most pressing is whether to enter the race to replace her fellow Democrat, the term-limited Gavin Newsom, as governor,” the report continues. “The contest is already well underway — 10 serious (broadly speaking) candidates have so far announced their candidacies. While Harris’ near-universal name recognition and nationwide fundraising base allow her to wait longer than others, a serious gubernatorial bid will take more than a few months to mount.”
The newspaper lamented that if she does choose to run for governor, she must hide away all of her “arrogance, entitlement or anything less than a 100% commitment to serving as governor.”
Another “arrest”! Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story headlined, “Rep. McIver Charged With Assault Over Clash Outside Newark ICE Center.”
Ironically, on the same day, Interim US Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, also dropped misdemeanor trespassing charges against Newark Mayor Ras “Raspberry” Baraka, who’d been charged after trying to get himself deported at a local ICE detention center. At the time, he was accompanied by two loud, forceful Representatives of ambiguous gender, including Representative LaMonica McIver, who was clearly there to throw “her” weight around. (For now, I’ll refer to McIver as “her” since the Times did, but I don’t know for sure what her or it’s preferred gender is.)
“You can’t talk to a congresswoman like that,” she tells an ICE agent in one video clip, not at all entitled. She warned them darkly, in a low, growling voice that sounded remarkably like Boris Badanov from Rocky & Bullwinkle: “You will pay!” (Just less of a Russian accent and more of a New Jersey urban dialect, or patois, or whatever they call it.)
Anyway, on May 9th, a noisy group of indignant Democrat lawmakers and friends tried to invade the borders of a brand new ICE Detention facility in Newark. The ‘gang’ included three Democrat Congressmen, Mayor Baraka, and about a dozen of just the most necessary members of their posse. They stridently claimed that their oversight role as members of Congress meant they could enter any federal facility anytime they wanted without notice.
ICE agents objected, explaining they could not enter without an escort (for their own safety) or bring along non-Congressmembers like Mayor Baraka, and asked them to leave.
McIver, Baraka, and the rest of the brave company loudly refused.
What ensued has become a highly contentious “he said-she said” controversy. The Times, fastidiously avoiding choosing sides, described the scene as “a confusing scrum” and a “chaotic scuffle.” But at one point, Miss McIver is clearly visible charging and surging through the ICE officers like an enraged hippopotamus. Except louder.
It’s hard to miss her in the clip, since she is one of the largest objects and practically scatters six grown men like they were bowling pins.
After the group was finally removed, ICE agents gave the three Congressmen (including the two birthing persons) a tour anyway. Nobody in the useless corporate media has ever bothered to ask whether McIver & Co. were there to legitimately oversee the detention facility or just create a mob-like media moment.
In a statement, Interim US Attorney Alina Habba said her office had tried to “work things out” with Rep. McIver, but she remained immovable. Thus, yesterday, “Miss” McIver became a justice-involved individual after the DOJ filed criminal charges for assaulting a federal officer.
Under the relevant statute, Rep. McIver faces up to 8 years and a maximum fine of $250,000.
As for Mayor Raspberry, “After extensive consideration, we have agreed to dismiss Mayor Baraka’s misdemeanor charge of trespass for the sake of moving forward,” Habba said. That’s code for: they found something about the case they didn’t like, or worked something out, or are picking their battle. Either way, they traded up misdemeanor trespassing charges against a kooky mayor for felony assault charges against a sitting Democrat Congressperson.
Democrats were outraged. How dare they, et cetera. Nancy Pelosi’s Twitter account, yesterday:
But was it a legitimate oversight? Anyway, Representative Eric Swalwell, who sued Trump over J6, and served on Trump’s first impeachment trial team, furiously labeled Miss McIver’s arrest as “crossing a red line.” In all-caps:
From her public statements, it is clear that McIver intends to argue that she lacked intent to assault anybody: she was just reacting, or was innocently defending Mayor Baraka, or maybe she had an ecstasy flashback and thought she was in a mosh pit.
But not so fast. Her furious words —“you will pay!”— are evidence of intent, so the DOJ is off to a good start with this one. It’s a thin case against a well-protected defendant, but the case isn’t so thin as to be invisible.

Yes, she was just doing her job.
Sure.
Last time we looked at the job description for a representative, we didn't see anything about assaulting ICE agents when trying to make some sort of political statement about illegals. Oh, and the Community Notes on her statement are just damning.
The only other note we'd add is that she is NOT the victim in any of this.

Tennessee Dem state rep brags about interfering in ICE operations
A Democratic Tennessee state representative garnered sharp criticism on Tuesday after uploading a video of herself attempting to interfere with a recent US Immigration and Customs (ICE) operation near Nashville. In the video, Rep. Aftyn Behn (D-Nashville) can be observed following federal and state law enforcement officers in a vehicle, where Behn stated she had been "bullying" ICE agents and Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) officers in an effort to thwart a May 9 immigration enforcement operation in Madison, Tennessee. This came while ICE had been conducting a weeklong targeted immigration enforcement operation to take in significant public safety threats, which resulted in 196 apprehensions.
"This is Nashville State Representative Aftyn Behn. She just posted a 15-minute video of her and a friend stalking the Tennessee Highway Patrol as they carried out official duties - openly admitting they were trying to stall law enforcement from stopping illegal aliens," wrote Republican Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles on X, who was quick to condemn the rep's actions. "Let's be clear: [the mayor of Nashville] is enabling Nashville liberals to actively obstruct ICE and law enforcement operations. This isn't just reckless - it's aiding and abetting."
This incident comes after Rep. Ogles called on Congress last week to launch a full investigation into Nashville Democratic Mayor Freddie O'Connell and several other unnamed Democratic "municipal leaders" for their "repeated obstruction of ICE operations." Mayor O'Connell was quick to condemn a weeklong targeted ICE operation, which resulted in the arrest of 196 criminal illegal immigrants in Nashville. 95 of them had criminal convictions or pending charges, while 31 of them unlawfully returned to the US following a previous deportation, according to ICE. Following the operation, the mayor redeclared the city's sanctuary status and directed community members to report local law enforcement officers for potentially cooperating with ICE in violation of the sanctuary statute.
