Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Something I've been pondering over this.
Does anyone have a timeline of any of the abductions?
The people we have seen so far are obviously poor, obviously don't have smart phones, obviously don't have ways to instantly communicate with everyone in their community.
There should be a time when someone noticed shit was going down.
I want 1. When the feds arrived. 2. When the feds took the first victim. 3. When the feds felt they were "done".
They sent a huge military like convoy in California to arrest one dude identifying ICE officers.
Who are they trying to fool? Who are they trying to scare? Who are they trying to provoke?
This all screams "look at what evil thing I'm doing, aren't you going to hit me bro? Aren't you gonna stand up to me bro? No you ain't shit, you ain't nothing" while they are only arresting people who have no means of remotely doing anything to defend themselves and they do it too fast for anyone to intervene.
They're trying to be school yard bullies. In schools in the US if you fight back against a bully you get punished the same. So my dad always recommended make them punish themselves.
And I would be willing to bet everything in today's mass kidnapping followed a plan and went according to plan. But if something in that plan is unaccounted for, then I bet they don't know what the fuck to do.
