He got deported from the bar.

I had to look, something I very very rarely do.

SoupySales believes in business freedom, unless it's a RW jackboot's ox that's gored.

It appears he was asked to leave and he did. I say his rights were violated.

Fta:

"... As a private business, Bottled Blonde reserves the right to refuse service to any patron at its discretion,” the venue told the Beast in a statement....

Perhaps SoupySales can enlighten us as to which part of the Constitution requires access to bars for everyone.

If he was not causing any issue himself he should have the right to visit a public establishment. I do not fault the management of the bar for asking him to leave as it was to maintain a peaceful venue.

As O Really accurately describes, there is NO such "right". It's a revocable privilege granted by a private business. The only illegal reasons for preventing access are age, race, religion, ethnicity, marital status, disability and, in some states, sexual orientation. Jackboot MAGAts are NOT a protected class. Remedial Civics for you.

Lester Maddox had restaurant in Atlanta and the federal courts declared his public business could not decline anyone. Where has MAGA supporters (it is not an official class) been an excluded class?

[O Really]

Well look, if an ICE goon dressed in civilian clothes, covered up the swastikas and brought along his wife/girlfriend and kids and had a nice dinner somewhere, nobody would even notice. But they wear their badass costumes and walk in like they own a place, expecting special treatment and perfectly willing to abduct abuela preparing their food. Nazis in Rick's come to mind. No place for that in 'Murica.

[O Really]

The right to toss someone out of your restaurant, with or without a Maddox ax handle, is not absolute, but is the starting point. It goes, "you can toss anybody...except: "
ICE goons aren't in the "except" list.

Seriously, bigot Lester Maddox in defense of your ignorance? Pitiful.

"could not decline anyone" because of their skin color. Please tell the truth, MAGAt.

There is no such thing as an excluded class, silly. There are protected classes and then there is everyone else, period. Political leanings and job descriptions are NOT protected classes. Businesses have the FREEDOM that you despise to bar me for being a LW nurse or you for being a RW insurance mgr. They always have.

I'm done. This tangent has reached the usual stage of frustrating, pointless incoherence coming from you. You really should have learned that O Really, CoCubsGo and I never lie about such things, ever. Back on ignore.

Trump quietly pulls National Guard from Chicago and Los Angeles after series of court losses

... The withdrawal quietly concluded last month, with no public acknowledgment from the White House or Department of Defense despite the administration’s insistence that U.S. military assets needed to be deployed on American streets to curb violent crime and support immigration enforcement.

The end of those deployments, first reported by The Washington Post, is mentioned only by the U.S. Northern Command, stating that troops sent to Chicago, Portland and Los Angeles have “completed demobilizing activities.”

Portland, too

That includes the withdrawal of more than 5,000 troops from California, roughly 500 troops in Chicago and another 200 in Oregon at the president’s direction. They were sent home by January 21, according to the Pentagon.

Excellent job, Chicago Dog and O Really!

Those deployments cost nearly half a billion dollars, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

MAGA loves wasting OUR money.

... “Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago were GONE if it weren’t for the Federal Government stepping in,” he wrote. “We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!”

Childish sour grapes. Crime had already been decreasing long before the NG arrived.

... Last year, the president began ordering National Guard troops to several Democratic-led cities, an effort that one federal judge rebuked as Trump’s attempt to create “a national police force with the president as its chief.”

Legal challenges from state and local officials accused the administration of using American streets for political theater, and in December, the Supreme Court blocked the administration from sending the military into Chicago. Trump later announced the withdrawal of service members from other cities.

The Supreme Court, weighing in on the legal battle over boots on the ground in Illinois, appeared to reject the administration’s argument that protests against the president’s anti-immigration agenda are so volatile that only the National Guard, under Trump’s orders, can stop them.

An Earth First! activist once told me: We don't win in the woods. We delay the logging until the lawyers can win.
That is what the street protests have done.

“For the first time, crickets from Donald Trump,” wrote Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. “After losing in court multiple times to Illinois and other states, the National Guard was finally quietly pulled out of our streets. The pressure is working, and we’ve got to keep at it.”

2 potential Dem POTUS candidates, J.B. and Gavin, have beating Dementia Don and the Pentagon on their re'sume's.

... In January, the Pentagon ordered roughly 1,500 active-duty troops to prepare for deployment to Minneapolis in response to protests against the administration’s surge of immigration officers and violent raids

That deployment never happened, and the administration pulled out Border Patrol’s “commander-at-large” Greg Bovino and roughly 700 federal officers after the fatal shootings of demonstrators Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

When confronted by this leftist, the ICE agent said, "If you cared, you would care about the child who got raped and the person who got murdered by the guy we're looking for."

The protestor's response? "I don't care."

UK Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy:



Brilliant attention grabbing political imagery.

guskenworthy

You can call your Senator at (202) 224-3121 to speak up against ICE and put pressure on them during the current DHS funding negotiations. Here’s a sample script:

Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State].

I’m calling to urge Senator [Name] to refuse to support any final Department of Homeland Security funding agreement that fails to meaningfully rein in ICE and Border Patrol.

Innocent people have been murdered, and enough is enough. We can’t wait around while ICE continues to operate with unchecked power in our communities. Senators still have leverage right now, and Senator [Name] must use it to demand real guardrails and accountability — including getting ICE and CBP out of our communities, ending blank-check funding for brutality, and establishing clear limits on warrantless arrests, profiling, and enforcement at sensitive locations like schools and hospitals.

Please pass this message along to the Senator. Thank you.

Olympic skier speaks out after receiving death threats for writing ‘f**k ICE’ with ‘his urine’ in snow
The British ­Olympic Association has since confirmed to the Guardian that additional support services have been put in place for him

A competitor in the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics has received a deluge of online death threats after he posted an anti-ICE message on Instagram.

Team GB skier Gus Kenworthy, who previously won a silver medal for the USA at the Sochi games in 2014, shared a picture of the words 'f**k ICE' painted in the snow with what appeared to be urine, a week before the games began.

But after a difficult two weeks, the 34-year-old, who has lived in America for most of his life but switched sporting allegiance to the country of his birth in 2019, has spoken out on Instagram about the 'awful' response he received.

Typical MAGA.

Freestyle skier Kenworthy, who will be competing at the Olympics next week in Livigno, shared that he had made the statement as a resident and because he cares 'about the US and I care about what's happening there'.

https://www.instagram.com/reels/DUhS7ODDpvV/

... Kenworthy shared some of the abuse he had suffered, saying in his Instagram post that there were 'people telling me to kill myself, threatening me,' and adding that some were even 'wishing that they'll get to see me blow my knee or break my neck during the event.'

MAGA is

He called the torrent of hate he had received 'insane' and argued, 'that's the price you pay for speaking up and using your platform'. But while the Olympian admitted making another video could invite more hate and vitriol', he said it was important to stand up for what you believe in.

This meant Kenworthy doubling down on his 'f**k ICE' message, adding that the Trump administration's wave of masked immigration enforcement and deportations over the past 12 months were 'absolutely evil and awful and terrifying'.

Pointing to the broad daylight killings of mom Renee Good and nurse Alex Pretti, the skier added: "There have been US citizens that have been murdered in the street, executed in the street.

"And the officers are essentially acting with impunity because their identities are covered. There’s no accountability. It’s really scary.”

Just a reminder. The DOJ is part of the executive branch. Wasn't it Eric Holder who proudly declared he was Obama's wing man?
