2026 Midterms ...
Iowa is not a border state. They are not going to seize ballot boxes anywhere - they don't have that power and they don't have the numbers, and they would be challenged. Hell, they can't even get Minneapolis under their control and they can't find enough volunteers for their "surge", and people are showing up everywhere to challenge them. Any attempts to rig the election will happen with the birthright stuff if Trump gets the win. Even if they tried to use ICE to intimidate people (try to check immigration status in lines), they would definitely stick to red states where they have support of some/most of the locals. Trump has to worry about Arizona, Georgia, Florida (still can't believe Miami flipped), Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and you are looking at maybe a thousand ICE agents in each of those states which each have many millions of people in them. And that's a huge maybe on getting that many since a chunk of their agents are tied up with legit law enforcement work, detention, administration, etc. They could double the number and it would still be small numbers. And it would probably drive up voter turnout for the Dems. And there's also the AI/social media aspect, which is far cheaper and easier than stealing ballot boxes - flood the olds' social media with AI bot bullshit about minorities to scare them and get them out. It's worked before. Make no mistake, they'll try to steal the election, but they aren't going to wait until the last minute. They are hoping to get a win on the birthright stuff, and they are probably preparing the bot campaigns for social media as we speak (not that they ever stopped running them).

These 47-day wonders are not very competent people.

Either Trump has self-awareness that his brand is not helping right now. Or more likely he's wanting to see them try to outdo each other in their support for him to try and win his approval.

Mitch is probably thinking of the defense contractors as Trump makes the European military-industrial complex great again. Long-term, a lot of European countries are going to try and get away from American countries.

Doug Cugini, Hole in the Wall Founder, Passed Away
AAS: Doug Cugini, founder of the Hole in the Wall, an iconic Austin music venue, died Tuesday. He was 75. His death was confirmed by longtime employee and one-time co-owner Debbie Rombach, who had visited the Hole in the Wall as a customer on the very first day that it opened on June 15, 1974. Born Aug. 20, 1950, Cugini and his mother Billie Cugini, started the joint as an eatery — “a restaurant serving truck stop-style food,” Cugini once said. He owned and operated the place, a West Campus staple at 2538 Guadalupe St., until 1998. His parents ran truck stops on Ben White Boulevard and U.S. 183. They created a third for their 24-year-old son, who had just graduated from college in Buffalo, N.Y. "I was kind of naive" Cugini told Texas Monthly in 2023. "I was from western New York, and Texas was like the Old West to me — basically, the Hole in the Wall Gang from 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.' We had four photos of those gangsters up on the wall, and that was it. Lot of good memories there, and glad it’s still around.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022. In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot. The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick. Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg. All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside. The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital. Both attackers are in custody. This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota’s top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers. Their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers. Without video, I don't believe a single fucking thing they say. But at least they are admitting that it's federal officers conducting traffic stops.

So if the US had gotten anything substantial out of today, Trump would have blabbed about it.

It's why we don't have boots on the ground in Venezuela, nor did we even prepare a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude to even go in there. Putting thousands of American soldiers into the Venezuelan jungles to protect pipelines for Chevron is not a good look.- Things not going well in Venezuela
We really are Russia.- ICE activity/raids
Tying into the comment I made above about the Hmong family and agents walking way, I have a feeling that the ones who are not volunteering for the "surge" and the ones who are walking away/disengaging when challenged by people who know their rights and/or not losing control of themselves when they are being cussed out/mocked, are the more experienced agents and/or not on board with shit going down. But there's plenty of dumbasses, like Jonathan Ross who thought it wise to wedge his arm into a moving car. I still think some ICE agent, probably one of the 47-day wonders, is going to kill one or more innocents. I wouldn't be surprised if Puppy Killer and Trump are hoping that happens, thinking it will put fear into the people, or that Puppy Killer will order some big, publicized raids to try and scare people, but the Minnesotans are a pretty fucking hardy breed (that winter will test you every year).- ICE activity/raids
FWIW, one of our friends in Minnesota said ICE is being challenged more and more with specific legal phrases/questions that are being passed around social media, and in some cases it works. People are also being told to delay ICE as long as possible in any encounters until people show up to help. She said that could have easily happened with that Hmong family in that clip. People up there have numbers to contact if they come into contact with ICE and ICE knows it - had those ICE agents lingered any longer, and the homeowner had called one of these groups, a bunch of people with cameras, phones, and whistles could have easily shown up and been invited onto the property by the owner and harassed ICE, and there are lawyers offering their services to these people for free. They also they are heavily tracking ICE around (from their hotels on) and making a ruckus when they try and do their thing, or when they linger in an area too long (which could be why those guys started walking away from the Hmong family). She said there are more and more Minnesotans getting tired of it (as we saw in the clip above) and the protests could easily ramp up substantially.- ICE activity/raids
Yeah, people are talking about throwing piss on them, which would freeze, lol.- Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
MAGA ain't going to collapse until Donnie dies, and that Big Mac and Diet Coke diet is apparently fucking amazing for longevity.- Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
He did have one executed, can't remember why, think he accused the guy of something. You can hire your own "Groom of the stool" from the same place many of us hire our manservants/groom of the stool from - the main dumpster location next to the Hancock HEB. Very affordable rates.- Greenland
We'll announce that we are going to open a new base (or rather re-open one of the bases we've closed in the past 30 years) and call it a day while we bomb Iran's leadership. Nobody believes that China is going to take Greenland (it's doubtful they can take an island off their coast a 100 miles away) and nobody believes Russia is going to take on NATO when they are using fucking horses in Ukraine to carry their troops into battle. Everything makes sense when you consider he's trying to distract from some serious shit. I'm sure he hoped they would sell, but they've publicly rebuked him many times (which is actually bad because toddlers do not like to be told no) and when even Mitch Fucking McConnell is telling you no on the Senate floor, it's a hard pass. So we will turn our attention to Iran because it's easier (while pretending we control Venezuela).- 2026 Midterms ...
ICE has been shitting on the Native Americans, and it's not gone unnoticed around the country. A few mailing lists I'm on, the messages have been extremely heated.- Trump’s America
- ICE activity/raids
I'm not arguing that they won't try to fuck around, I just think their fuckery will be different than some here think - I don't think they will walk in and steal ballot boxes or shut down locations like some are claiming. And they simply don't have the numbers to have a massive impact on election day itself (I've never seen a pseudo-police force that needs such a high number of people to apprehend and detain just one person), but if they want to try something I will argue that it will be in red states in danger of flipping. One thing I would toss into my manifesto above is that in the red states, they will have less resistance, so fewer agents will be needed for crowd control, leaving more to fuck around.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Even though they are on a "wartime" footing, it does not seem like the Russians are able to increase their air defenses. Pretty wild that they aren't pouring everything into that.- Iran
Oh fuck, all we need is for him to see stuff like this That would get him hard.- What's happening in Iran?
It's being reported that nobody in the WH is opposing air strikes and Rubio is arguing Trump has to or he'll lose credibility (excuse me for laughing). And then there's this, within the last hour.- Iran
Rumors it will be within 24 hours (strikes, not the carrier group, that'll take a week or so). Trump was out there saying he was assured there were no executions while the Iranians were executing people openly, so now he once again looks like a fucking idiot but he actually gets the chance to bomb those who embarrassed him.- Post a pic/gif/tweet that makes you say "very cool"
