    In a statement, village spokesperson David Ormsby said Noem appeared “unannounced” at the Village Hall “asking for a meeting while Mayor Katrina Thompson was out of the building.” Thompson, Ormsby said, was instead on her way to meet Noem at the ICE facility.

    “Mayor Thompson went to the ICE center, accompanied by the Broadview Police Chief Thomas, and officers, to ask for the illegal fence to be dismantled. The mayor was told by agents at the gate the secretary was unavailable to meet,” Ormsby said. "Additionally, we are distressed to hear that the bathrooms are unavailable at the ICE facility.”

      That is a much more comprehensive article actually talking about what’s happening. Thanks for posting and I hope more people actually read it rather than diluting the topic

    It’s too bad that officer didn’t pick her up, carry her, and body slam her onto the pavement like her goons did to Kat Abughazaleh.

    Fuck Kristi Noem!

      Is it still a lie if she believes it to be true? I feel like she probably believes this even thought its false. I feel like there should be a different word for it, but i dont know what that word might be

        Being wrong is not the same as lying. She is clearly lying, but let’s just pretend she buys into her bullshit. Then she is just wrong.

        It really doesn’t matter what she thinks though, as she has no business being where she is. She is a joke, a charlatan, and an unqualified buffoon. Her cosmetics surgery and fillers make her look like a blow up sex doll.

        Gross is what describes her best. A gross pick me who sold herself to aid in the destruction of our country. A traitor through and through

        Lying to yourself is just an easy way for preparing yourself to lie to others, believing in yourself even if you’re the worst lying sack of shit still sells it to the suckers born every minute. The word is narcissistic, since in this scenario it’s all just a fucking glow-up to make the subject feel victimized, they’ll try anything to enable pity or sympathy for themselves from others. Do not feed the attention elephant.

      “This is what Governor Pritzker calls cooperation”

      Here’s what Governor Pritzker actually said:

      I am ringing an alarm, one that I hope every person listening will heed, both here in Illinois and across the country.

      Over the weekend, we learned from the media that Donald Trump has been planning, for quite a while now, to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago. This is exactly the type of overreach that our country’s founders warned against, and it’s the reason that they established a federal system with a separation of powers built on checks and balances.

      What President Trump is doing is unprecedented and unwarranted. It is illegal. It is unconstitutional. It is un-American.

      Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a U.S. city, punish his dissidence, and score political points. If this were happening in any other country, we would have no trouble calling it what it is: a dangerous power grab.

      Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump looked at the assembled cameras and asked for me personally to say, “Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city?” Instead, I say, “Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.”

      You are neither wanted here nor needed here.

      Finally, to the Trump administration officials who are complicit in this scheme, to the public servants who have forsaken their oath to the Constitution to serve the petty whims of an arrogant little man, to any federal official who would come to Chicago and try to incite my people into violence as a pretext for something darker and more dangerous: we are watching and we are taking names.

      This country has survived darker periods than the one that we are going through right now, and eventually the pendulum will swing back, maybe even next year. Donald Trump has already shown himself to have little regard for the many acolytes that he has encouraged to commit crimes on his behalf.

      You can delay justice for a time, but history shows you cannot prevent it from finding you eventually. If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me, not time or political circumstance, from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

      Yeah, sure sounds like he stabbed you in the back, swearing he’s cooperating and all that.

          OK, now my mind is coming up with a complete reboot of the movie.

          Character Mappings

          Jesus (Westley): The resilient migrant worker advocating for immigrant rights. Quote: “As you wish.”

          Melania (Buttercup): The elegant First Lady, symbolizing grace and advocacy for families, with her illegal immigrant status leveraged politically. Quote: “I just want to be an example for the children.”

          Beto O’Rourke (Inigo Montoya): The passionate champion for justice known for his compelling speeches, seeking vengeance against injustice. Quote: “This is not the time to be timid.”

          Bernie (Fezzik): The gentle giant fighting for social equality and worker rights. Quote: “I don’t even exercise.”

          Miller (Vizzini): The crafty strategist behind complex political maneuvers. Quote: “Inconceivable!”

          Supporting Characters

          Humpadink (Prince Humperdinck): The cunning political figure focused on power and control, leading efforts to deport immigrants to neighboring Guilder. Quote: “I’m not a monster; I’m just a little misunderstood.”

          Fantastic Fauci (Miracle Max): The healthcare expert known for vital, unconventional public health advice. Quote: “It’s a matter of life and death.”

          Dread Pirate Thunberg (The Dread Pirate Roberts): The bold environmental activist using dramatic tactics in her advocacy. Quote: “How dare you!”

          ICE (The Goon Squad): The federal agency enforcing stringent immigration policies, symbolizing the oppressive machinery of deportation. Quote: “No tolerance.”

          The Turtle Necked Man (Count Rugen): The turtle like antagonist involved in the deportation plot and a cruel enforcer of power. Quote: “You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.”

          Noem (Yellin): The assertive political figure known for her vocal stance on immigration and law enforcement. Quote: “We must take a stand.”

          Some of those still need some work.

              So oddly specific lol

              Well, I’m a recovering musician. That particular setting on the MiniMoog and the Lesley rotating speakers on the Hammond B3 are super famous, used in a lot of recordings so easy to recognize.

              When Floyd recored SIOYCD, it was just before digital hit (FM, sampling), and the band had made enough money that he could use pretty much any synth/organ/electric piano/piano and even more more exotic stuff that he wanted. Rabbit hole on the keys on that record here: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/71945-full-demonstration-of-the-real-keyboards-on-shine-on-you-crazy-diamond/

              Both songs share in common the fact that although the keyboard parts are not very difficult, you would miss them very much in the song; it really would not sound at all like the song you know despite these being mostly “background” instruments.

        The government is doing everything about this. It’s literally being done entirely by the government.

        If you want the government to be doing the opposite thing about this, the time for action was during the past few elections, before the fascists got control over all three branches. Best the dems can do now is try to lock things up as best they can. Maybe by shutting down the government or something idk.
