    Absolute Immunity

    This week on The Necessary Conversation, we cover one of the most disturbing weeks yet — from the killing of a U.S. citizen by an ICE agent in Minnesota, to mass protests and bloodshed in Iran, to Trump openly floating military action against Greenland and claiming that the only thing that can stop him is his own mind. Are we watching the normalization of authoritarian power in real time? 🚨 ICE Kills Renée Nicole Good During ICE’s largest raid in Minnesota history, 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three Renée Nicole Good was shot and killed by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. Officials claimed self-defense — but video shows Ross firing as Good attempted to flee and posed no imminent threat. ICE then blocked medical aid, Trump falsely claimed the agent was hospitalized, and JD Vance defended the killing by saying ICE agents have “absolute immunity.” As protests erupt nationwide, a new movement — “ICE Out For Good” — has launched over 1,000 demonstrations across the country. We ask: Was this shooting justified?Should ICE agents have absolute immunity?Why is the administration blocking an independent investigation?🏫 ICE Storms a Public High School The same operation saw ICE agents raid Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, using pepper spray and force on staff. Classes were canceled for safety as hundreds were detained across immigrant communities — particularly Somali neighborhoods. Why Minnesota?  Why a public school?  And is this coming to other cities next? 🇮🇷 Iran in Revolt Protests in Iran have exploded into a full-scale uprising against clerical rule.  The regime responded with: A nationwide internet blackoutMass arrestsLive ammunition used on protesters Hospitals report overwhelming numbers of dead and wounded.Trump warns Iran not to shoot protesters — while quietly weighing military options. Could this ever happen here?  Would Trump ever shut down the internet in the U.S.? ❄️ Trump Threatens Greenland Trump says the U.S. will take Greenland “the nice way or the hard way” and has asked the military to prepare invasion plans. European leaders warn this could fracture NATO and spark global conflict. Is this bluster — or the road to World War III? ⚡ “My Own Mind Is the Only Check on My Power” Trump vetoed two bipartisan bills that passed unanimously — killing: A clean-water project for rural ColoradoTribal land protections in FloridaWhen asked what checks his power, Trump said: “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”Should that terrify us? 📉 Jobs Down, Housing Unaffordable Just 50,000 jobs added in December2025: one of the weakest job years since the pandemicHousing is now less affordable than ever in U.S. historyMeanwhile Trump talks about giving $100,000 to every Greenland resident. 🛢️ Venezuelan Oil Fantasy Trump says oil companies will invest $100 billion in Venezuela — b ChristiTutionalist Politicsthe "ChristiTutionalist Politics" podcast.

    Trump's Christmas Meltdown

    On this week’s episode of The Necessary Conversation, we break down one of the most chaotic and disturbing weeks yet in Trump’s second term — from a Christmas Day posting spree that looked more like a meltdown than a holiday message, to explosive new revelations in the Epstein files, to an apparent attempt to bury a damning 60 Minutes investigation. Bob has once again fled the show, refusing to face off against his children as more evidence mounts against Trump by the day. 🎄 Trump’s Christmas Meltdown On Christmas Day, Trump posted nearly 150 times in 24 hours, using the holiday to attack enemies, relitigate the 2020 election, celebrate deaths, deflect from Epstein revelations, and repost offensive memes. We ask whether this behavior is remotely Christian — or remotely stable. 📁 Over 1,000,000 New Epstein Documents Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ admitted there are over one million additional Epstein-related documents still undisclosed — despite Trump’s own “Epstein Transparency Act.” Lawmakers are now considering contempt charges. Is this incompetence… or a cover-up? 💰 Pay-For-Pardons Scandal A Wall Street Journal investigation reveals how wealthy elites are bypassing the Justice Department and securing presidential pardons by lobbying Trump directly — sometimes for millions of dollars. We ask the obvious question: is Trump selling pardons? 🔥 60 Minutes Pulls CECOT Prison Investigation CBS abruptly yanked a completed 60 Minutes segment exposing torture, abuse, and unlawful detentions at El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison — where the Trump administration has sent hundreds of people, many with no criminal record. The segment later leaked anyway. Is this the future of journalism under MAGA pressure? ⚖️ Supreme Court Blocks National Guard Deployment In a major rebuke, the Supreme Court refused to let Trump deploy National Guard troops to Chicago. Notably, two of Trump’s own appointees sided against him. What does this mean for Trump’s threats to militarize U.S. cities? 🚫 Trump Defunds Anti-Human Trafficking Efforts Trump quietly withheld $90 million from anti-human-trafficking organizations, cutting off housing, counseling, legal aid, and victim services for thousands of survivors. We examine who benefits when trafficking enforcement collapses. 🧘 Simmer Down We lighten things up (briefly) by asking: Who is your celebrity crush? 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments: Is this behavior normal for a president?Are the Epstein delays intentional?Should pardons ever be for sale?Is the free press under real threat?📺 Subscribe for weekly episodes 🎧 Available on YouTube & all podcast platforms 📲 New clips posted twice daily ChristiTutionalist Politicsthe "ChristiTutionalist Politics" podcast.
