Its not the Somali community,, its the NGO's and government agencies taking advantage and stealing US tax dollars... Yes people in the Somali community took part in the crimes but the money flows upward and facilitated by corrupt state and local governments...

Washington state is complicit in every possible fraud scheme of theft and deceit,, including this Somali thing...

Washington is possibly the most corrupt state in the country... We have not had a free and or fair election in over 30 years... If our government is not elected but holds office under the guise of legit elections it means its fake and not lawful,, its fraudulent...

"Fruits Of The Poisonous Tree" is the basic legal principal of our justice system,, it means the whole thing is contaminated,,, the whole thing is illegal,, every office is a fraud,, the entire government is not a legal representation and will be dissolved,, prosecuted and punished to some extent... All promises broken,, the people are not responsible for any liabilities created by the fake government,, infact the fake government will indeed be required to make the people whole,, pay restitution,, give the people back what they have stolen under fraudulent pretense...

Every legal decision,, legislative act is null and void.. All actions are criminal because the body is fraudulent and created as part of a criminal conspiracy...

Evidence?

Salmo,


Evidence for what specifically? Your favorite media CNN even says the fraud was true and being investigated.

“Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has spent the past year dealing with the fallout from high-profile fraud schemes involving Somali residents while also pushing back against Trump’s attacks against the broader Somali community.”

I like how instead of focusing on the facts about the Somalian fraud, the article is twisted to being about Trump despite having nothing to do with it. Nobody cares about this spin except for you and other boomers obsessed with Trump instead of the event itself. Thankfully, the media outlets like these will probably die out along with their only viewers (boomers) once they die off.

Streamer,

Evidence for Rich's alleged legal decisions, legislative acts, and that "the body is fraudulent and created as part of a criminal conspiracy..." And evidence that "Washington state is complicit in every possible fraud scheme of theft and deceit,, including this Somali thing...

Washington is possibly the most corrupt state in the country... We have not had a free and or fair election in over 30 years..."

Yes, I understand from the news reports that some pretty extensive fraud has been uncovered in Minnesota, and that Somalis are implicated. Then I briefly heard subsequently that some have been prosecuted and convicted. I'm all in on prosecuted those who commit fraud or are corrupt, ya' know, like Trump trying to overturn an election and stealing classified documents.

Somali Salmo,


There is plenty of evidence to speak to the Somali fraud, including the link I posted previously from your trusted CNN news station that even admitted to it. There is also plenty of evidence of fraud and corruption throughout Washington that Rich has stated.

Washington State has faced significant financial discrepancies involving billions, primarily stemming from questionable accounting for federal COVID-19 relief funds (around $1.2 billion flagged in audits) and massive unemployment fraud during the pandemic (over $1.1 billion potentially stolen), alongside concerns about wasted IT projects and lack of oversight in various state programs, leading to calls for greater transparency and accountability.

Election integrity is also in question evidenced most clearly in the 2004 gubernatorial election with Rossi and Gregoire. Rossi won the election, won again on multiple recounts, and eventually King Co. “lost ballots” entered the picture after the multiple recounts to then declare Gregoire won. No more recounts. Game over. We haven’t had real elections for some time. Rich G is correct on this. There is plenty of evidence, you simply refuse to acknowledge it because it contradicts your beliefs.

Streamer,

I was asking for evidence that Somali residents in WA state are committing the same kind of fraud as in MN. Maybe they are. I don't know, and I haven't heard anything about it. Rich commonly spews sh!t, and who knows where he gets his information, let alone how credible it is.

Yes, WA had plenty of financial mismanagement during the pandemic. I don't know that it was fraud or corruption as much as incompetence. But yeah, agencies appeared to be more interested in doling out money in a hurry than in administering it according to legislative intent.

I don't buy the election fraud allegation. Rossi won in the first two counts and lost in the final third count. As far as I know, recount opitons run out after the third. So how does that mean that we haven't had "real" elections for some time? Because you "think" so? You should know by now that I'm a "follow the evidence" kinda' guy. Show me the evidence and, more likely than not, I acknowledge it.

It should also be noted that the third recount was hand, not machine as were the first two.

It's hard to tell if we have had a "real" election since that time since the GOP has run a series of far right-appealing candidates and they lose big.

I think the new Post Office rules on dating of mail is a direct attempt by the current administration to derail mail-in ballots.

As to the mis-management that Salmo alludes to, I recall the Auditor's office saying that they look at money tracking and not if the spending itself met legal requirements. That would a different kind of audit.

We probably have a lot of really poor spending records in any governmental operation but until the public demands actual results and carries these demands to the ballot box little will change.

Violent uprising about to kick off in Minnesota... The Government MAFIA is getting ready to launch an attack...

Washington State is also in the cross hairs,, stage being set...

The violent uprising was kicked off by some dumb fvck of an ICE agent shooting and killing an American citizen yesterday. Look at all the video evidence. There was no problem that ICE didn't start. The statements by Noems and Trump are total fabrications (lies) to suit their warped narratives. ICE clearly does not know how to do police work.

Thursday I posted that ICE clearly does not know how to do police work. Well, no wonder. ICE is not authorized to do police work. Noem and HSA are way off base taking ICE out of its legislatively authorized lane. Not that they would know how to do what they are authorized to do any better. ICE has lowered their hiring standards to accept people not qualified to tie their shoelaces, let alone pack around automatic weapons.

Meanwhile carpet munchers are making bad decisions.

I don’t care if ICE doesn’t know how to do police work because they aren’t doing police work. Their job is to remove ILLEGAL immigrants. Not legal ones… ILLEGAL. Mind your own business and it won’t be a concern.

How about people wake the fukkk up and not interfere with ICE doing their job? It’s mind boggling to me that ICE is lawfully removing illegals and citizens think they can unlawfully intervene without consequences. It’s a special kind of stupid that seems problematic with Democrats and the far left.



Streamer

Yeah ICE is just doing its job of removing illegal aliens, like when they detained 4 native American members of a Lakota tribe and detained American citizens because they had Hispanic accents. The list goes on. ICE doesn't stay in its lane. ICE has become the domestic terrorist. If ICE keeps doing what it's doing, one day soon they will break in the door of an armed American citizen who lawfully shoots them. Would you call that unlawful intervention in ICE's job? I wouldn't.

I cannot and never have understood why any cop would place themselves in front of a vehicle driven by an uncooperative suspect. Foolish. If an arrest is warranted, chase them if they drive off. Shooting them, especially if they are not trying to deliberately run their vehicle at you, is an excessive and unnecessary use of force, IMHO. I have watched the video presented at many different angels, etc, and I just see poor tactics, lack of any de-escalation techniques, and angry cops.

ICE does need to do their job without interference but they better bring their crowd control folks with them to guard their perimeter and keep the folks back who physically try to stop them. They need to bring the party bus and be ready to arrest anyone who crosses that line and have a facility ready to book them. The arrestees can have their day in court later. No one should ever go to a protest, obstruct, assault cops, or otherwise break the law, and not expect consequences.

I guess the sentiment among progressives is that all immigrants who are here unlawfully should have an intrinsic right to do so.

That being said, clearly ICE agents are under a quota to have big numbers to satisfy their lords and masters and don't seem to care about targeting, other than it plays well for Trump and his zealots to do so in liberal bastions.

Twister,

I don't know what sentiment progressives have. From my high overview elevation it looks like illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. a long time might be hard to find. ICE agents appear to lack any basic understanding of Constitutional law. Going around ordering ordinary Americans to get out of their car and produce citizenship documentation is illegal. No wonder citizens are telling the agents, "Fvck you!" The way the law in the U.S. works is that ICE must prove a person is not a citizen. Hell, I don't carry citizenship papers. Do you? If they approach me on the street or in my car, I'm gonna' tell 'em to F off. I have a low tolerance of Gestapo tactics. And if they enter my house, I'll shoot 'em. An unidentified masked and armed thug without a warrant is an intruder, not a government agent.

The feds are all bent out of shape about the protests in Minneapolis, but those protests are nothing in comparison to the J6 protest turned riot in D.C. And Trump pardoned all of those who were convicted, so where is the line in regards to protesting?

Salmo,

The sentiments that are portrayed in media interviews of activists seem to overwhelmingly follow the narrative that people who are here illegally should be given a free pass and welcomed as neighbors. Please provide any information that contradicts that. I realize that is anecdotal but I do think it is what has caused democrat run states to provide sanctuary communities. I am not defending ICE tactics but we need to know what they really are allowed to do before applying vitriol. Here is what our friend AI says:

Yes, federal law, specifically 8 U.S.C. § 1357, allows immigration officers (like those from ICE) to detain individuals suspected of immigration violations without a judicial warrant, provided they have reasonable suspicion they are not legally in the U.S. or are entering illegally, especially in public places, and can arrest those believed to be in violation of immigration laws, though a judicial warrant (or consent) is generally needed for arrests inside a private home.
Key Powers & Circumstances:
Public Encounters: Agents can question and briefly detain individuals in public if they have reasonable suspicion (e.g., attempting to flee).
Border/Checkpoint: They have broad authority to search, question, and detain at borders and checkpoints.
Arrests without Warrant: An officer can arrest an alien without a warrant if they are entering illegally or if they have reason to believe the person is in the U.S. unlawfully and likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained.
Private Homes: A judicial warrant is typically required to enter and arrest someone inside their home.
Administrative Warrants: ICE officers use administrative warrants (issued by other immigration officials, not federal judges) for arrests in the interior, allowing detention pending removal decisions.
Your Rights:
You can ask an agent if you are free to leave; if not, you can refuse to answer questions without a lawyer.
Agents cannot show warrants to the public that aren't directly related to the person, but you can ask for identification and their purpose.
In essence, federal law grants significant warrantless arrest and detention powers to immigration officials, particularly in public spaces and at borders, based on suspicion or belief of immigration violations, but with specific limits regarding private residences.
