Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
There's some wikipedia entries that could very easily explain this for you: Actions Following a presidential campaign that centered immigration policy, Donald Trump enacted in his first presidency (2017–2021) a hardline immigration policy intended to reduce immigration. Shortly after taking office, he signed an executive order to increase ICE's staffing by 10,000 people, and to vastly expand ICE's immigration enforcement powers.[38] While ICE largely prioritized people charged with serious crimes during the Obama administration, Trump's first administration directed the agency to target anybody it believed had entered the United States illegally.[22] Subsequently, the number of encounters and arrests performed by ICE increased substantially, including the encounters and arrests of U.S. citizens.[39] ICE began engaging in high-profile raids at places of employment, places of worship, and places of education.[22] During this time, some Democratic lawmakers and progressive figures called for the abolition of ICE, and an overhaul of the United States immigration system.[22][38] In 2018, a total of 19 HSI special agents in charge or SACs (who are the senior most officials in each investigative division) sent a letter to DHS secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and asked to be formally separated from ICE.[38][40] These 19 SACs explained that HSI's investigative mission was repeatedly being hamstrung by ICE's civil immigration enforcement mission,[38][40] saying that many jurisdictions limited their co-operation with HSI because of its linkage to the politically charged activity of ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), which is also housed under ICE.[22][40] These senior leaders requested HSI be restructured as a stand-alone agency analogous to the Secret Service.[40] It was also stated "No U.S. Department of Justice law enforcement agency is paired with another disparate entity, i.e., the FBI is not paired with the Bureau of Prisons or DEA."[40] This letter was ultimately ignored by the administration.[40] ---------------------- That's the difference from Trump's FIRST term. There are entire pages about the differences for his entire second term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths,_detentions_and_deportations_of_American_citizens_in_the_second_Trump_administration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_in_the_second_Trump_administration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICE_recruitment_during_the_second_Trump_administration I'd just paste the summary of issues with ICE in Trump's second presidency, but it's literally too big to post here.

ICE activity/raids
Good. Go open eyes in a red state.

Pam Bondi is a dumbass
1.) Yes they will. It will be viewed as an attack on Trump, most R's will not do it. 2.) Yes, most of the senate will vote against conviction. This is wish casting. Edited to add: If there was any kind of willingness or feeling or consideration of compliance the way you're suggesting, she would have been held in contempt yesterday.

Pam Bondi is a dumbass
Who's going to charge her, and with what? The majority party would have to charge her. IDon'tBelieveYou.gif. Link as proof. But my guess is that child pedo behavior makes even aggie want to have direct questions answered. Edit: Yeah no. https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3595274

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Massie is a completely different guy than he was 2 years ago. I know he's always been an out there kook libertarian gun type...but unlike most of the republican party, this guy clearly was some kind of true believer, and the dark shit he's seen with the Epstein files has clearly shook some semblance of sense into him.

I mean, how's that universal healthcare for veterans after they stopped serving? Because per my BIL, it's pretty not great.

Yeah, I can't sit through these for 20 minutes, much less almost two hours.

Lol. No it's not. There's more than enough money to do both. Some insurance companies would just have to go bye bye.

They have. That's why we are where we are, currently.

The Trump Economy
The music from Interstellar was funny. I mean, some of the biggest donors to his campaign are anti-union, so of course the whole government is anti-union.

The look in this guy's eyes trying to talk to her made my day. It's a low bar these days, but I'll take it.

This murder happened in Prosper, TX? Gotta assume daddy will be acquitted, and that's even if the case isn't dismissed on account of the fact that the far right things murdering your own children is perfectly within the right of their father.

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Maybe. But if the name is going to be mentioned regardless, I'd assume the reflex is to sue the fuck out of Massie and make it difficult for him as well.

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
If Massie says it there, he can be sued. Charged. Whatever. But my understanding is if he gets to the house floor, he can say whatever he wants to America consequence free.

Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
Considering what you've posted thus far, there's good money that if you quit to take care of your mental health, without a plan, and things don't magically get better, you'll just keeping beating your self up about your lack of fortitude, not sticking with the job, and the potential ramifications to your family. There would be a lot of opportunity to beat yourself up after the fact, and not to in any way sound insulting, it seems like you're the type who will beat himself of given the opportunity. I bring this up only to illustrate that one of the paths you've shown doesn't actually seem like it's going to offer you any relief. Not that the other one will, either. You could always quiet quit, and maybe you eek out a couple of less miserable years and the company offers you some kind of package. Or a few months severance. That should all get you closer to the end of the road. Also, not sure if you spend time there, but the business and markets threads have some financial goals and stock trading conversations. Maybe you can get obsessed with growing what you have, like @Dbeasy said earlier.

Same. It's a shitty feeling, when your kid is the best and most important thing in your life, and your whole heart, and sometimes you wonder if you did him a disservice by having him. I actually hate this guy's videos because I believe it's all bullshit wish-casting, and I don't like him just guessing and giving folks hope. "1-3 months" my ass.

Is there not some additional charge for assault against a child?

So this idiot got recorded, then I guess what, between Mon and Wed he decided to shave his head so maybe no one would recognize him?
