A disabled American veteran is disappeared by masked government agents, and aside from the initial reporting it disappears from the news completely. Not on NPR, not on PBS.
The party of Dwight Eisenhower says nothing
The party of FDR says nothing
I was told growing up this would never happen here, this only happens in dictatorships.
A disabled American veteran is disappeared from the streets of America and America says nothing.

(15,324 posts)" 'I just don't know where he's at. I've been up since 6 a.m. trying to call the sheriff's, the police department, Oxnard, Camarillo, Ventura... They say they don't know,' she said."
A U.S. citizen who happens to be a disabled veteran was brutally assaulted and taken away. The man was literally kidnapped by a gang of thugs. It's a state and federal crime. Fucking local law enforcement is doing nothing. The FBI is a joke. They are all accomplices.
If some white, blonde, 16-year-old girl was assaulted, forcibly removed from her car by a group of unidentified armed masked men and taken away, Americans would be holding vigils, the entire corporate media establishment would be up in arms, and "BREAKING NEWS!" updates would be aired every fifteen minutes.
The entire country would mobilize.
But, since it is a 'former' military who is now incapable of running around killing for the king, they don't seem to be as interested.
I wonder why? (Redundant question.)

Russias military and approximately 300 dead from Republican lies in Texas one jack wagon
in Kerr County in 2021 said they didnt need President Bidens money for a flood warning system
because he is a communist and he represents @ least 25 to 35% of the American population. Things
are looking grim.

That's why we have an incompetent precedent apparently no one voted for, or will even investigate...

(10,920 posts)When we started sending people, any people, no matter the reasoning, to foreign torture prisons and active war zones like South Sudan and who knows where else. Our Supreme Court literally said it was legal and ok.
We still go to work and do all our normal daily tasks and watch TV and go out and eat dinner while a guy from Guatemala, that just came here to pick tomatoes, is being flown to South Sudan and dropped off in a country he has never been, can't speak the language, no money, no passport and no way to contact anyone. In a place experiencing war and ethnic cleansing.
Meanwhile we are going through our days as if none of that is happening with our money, in our country's name.
That is the part I can't understand. We, as a country, seem pretty casual about the whole thing: "oh, we are sending more innocent people to be tortured and murdered in a country they have no connection? Oh well, let's go see a movie"

He doesn't like the military because they did a sad parade for him. And their leaders are always demanding they follow rules and regulations. But ICE, FBI and police are easier to manipulate.
The thing is, pedo Trump is a one way street. He wants those agents to do violence for him but he pays them crap and treats them like children. He thinks they should do whatever he tells them to do because he's their father, their boss, their king. But he doesn't raise their pay or give out bonuses for breaking the law. He cut Vets benefits and plans to reduce military retirement benefits. Which is one of the reasons the military isn't all in for Trump. But the pedo has a way of finding any corrupt psycho in the bunch.
He compensates his mob bosses for submitting to his will. Elon got more government contracts, Nome gets to skim off Homeland Security dollars and Zuckerberg doesn't get regulated. But what do those ICE agents get when they break the law for the pedo? They will eventually have to pay for their crimes and the pedo will be in a nursing home babbling, no use to them.
Even his voters get nothing. Hell the don't even get to look at the Epstein files.
Trump really needs to ramp up the violence to get the American people in line. He really needs the military.

So do your due diligence and dont make us play guessing games.
