Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich says he won't follow a new state law that forbids local officials from helping federal agents enforce some immigration laws.

Knezovich, a Republican, also contends that Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee should be arrested for obstruction of justice after signing the law last month.

The Spokesman-Review reports that the law was passed by the Legislature and designed partly to support the state economy and immigrants' role in the workplace.

Knezovich says the law sets up Washington as a "sanctuary state" and would prevent his officers from working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal officials in preventing crime by people who are in the country illegally.

Knezovich contends that what's really behind the law is Democrats' animus toward Republican President Donald Trump.

The point is she's being a hypocrite. Fail on the "gotcha" attempt.
The point is, you are talking about the need to regulate the media for "spreading lies and misinformation".
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

That was Pelosi talking about it, not surprising that Pelosi hates the first amendment, except when people are saying things she agrees with. You and Pelosi, birds of a feather, free speech haters unite.

No, I'm not. I'm pointing out her hypocrisy in calling for regulation of an industry that didn't satisfy her by taking down an edited video that made her look drunk and yet she doesn't call for anything to end the constant misinformation being sold as "news" on CNN and MSNBC, likely because they are shilling for her. I didn't call for anything. Again, gotcha fail.

Caitlin Johnstone:

Donald Trump Is The Most Honest US President Of All Time
No, when I say that Trump is the most honest US president of all time, what I mean is that he has a unique gift for exposing the face of the empire for exactly what it is, in all its depravity, all its deceitfulness, all its corruption, and in this case, all its jaw-dropping ridiculousness. I mean, look at this photo:

Image

Really look at it. Have you ever seen anything so ridiculous? Who the fuck dressed him? And what’s going on with that freak in the red dress? And why are these rich assholes all walking in formation? Is it some kind of weird parade for people who’ve never bought their own groceries?

. . .

His whole cabinet is basically human versions of the departments they represent. His Secretary Treasurer was a Goldman Sachs executive. His CIA Director literally tortured people. His National Security Advisor is an Iraq-raping Bush-era neocon. His Secretary of Commerce is a former Rothschild executive. His EPA Administrator is a former coal lobbyist. His Secretary of State came straight out of the CIA. It’s like he designed a convenient labeling system for everyone who’s unsure of what it is that each department in the executive branch of the US government actually does.

. . .

The most aggressive anti-Trumpists have no interest in real change, they just want things to go back to the way they were before Trump, which is actually just wanting to go back to the conditions which gave rise to Trump. They’re not interested in waking up, they’re interested in smoothing an uncomfortable wrinkle in their bedsheets so that they can go back to sleep.

i think he's simultaneously the most honest and the most dishonest president. like when he said obama founded isis, lol, taken at face value that's obviously not true, and yet there is still so much truth to be found in the statement

He's the most transparent POTUS. I doubt he's the most dishonest. I'm sure there are mountains of secrets and lies we don't know about from previous presidents. At least Trump seems more open about what he's doing. I think a lot of people like the IDGAF attitude.

He has not done anything truly dishonest and crooked yet. I will give him that. He still stabbed us all in the back and ensured America will become another Mexico.

I remember Obama illegally running rifles to the Mexican drug cartels, attempting a coup of the elected government, etc.

If you want to play the false moral equivalency game, by all means. Nobody is going to find themselves impressed by it, however.
