  1. This. This is the whole and entire story, there isn't much more to it. The problem with ICE is not what they are doing right now (well, actually, it's a tremendous problem, but it's actually a side issue from the real problem). The real problem is what ICE is and what it currently exists for. The current incarnation of ICE -- which in terms of numbers and budget is one of the largest standing military forces in the world, is to be a personal army answerable only to Herr Trump and his regime, to do their bidding on any and all missions (their mission is NOT "immigration enforcement" -- their mission is to cause terror in the population, violently suppress any and all dissent, and do anything and everything else they are directed to do by Herr Trump, including overt interference with elections and such). This isn't about immigration. It is about the creation and use of a personal army by a dictator. The battle must be fought against ICE and this regime until they are no longer a functional military force. Period.
  2. When Iran murders 30,000 of its people for daring oppose the regime, that's bad. When the American regime considers the possibility of murdering 30,000 of its people for daring to oppose the regime, it makes them smile. Authoritarians can fuck all the way off. I don't care what bullshit underlying "beliefs" or "principles" they claim to hold. When they use violent repression to quash a free people, they can get fucked. Always. Forever. 100% of the time, everywhere.
  3. The hell of it is, if that had been the approach from the get-go, January 20th 2025.....There really wouldn't have been much pushback. Sure, they SAY right now "we're just out here grabbing murderers and rapists," but that's an obvious lie when they grab a citizen in his home in his PJs, grab a child in a blue bunny hat and his dad WHO HAD LEGAL STATUS AND NO CRIMINAL ISSUES, etc. ad infinitum, so that lie isn't working. If they actually made their lie the TRUTH, then this would all be rather ordinary. Sure, maybe they'd get a name or address wrong and kick down the wrong door somewhere (even legit, good-faith law enforcement efforts make mistakes, and the bigger the effort, the bigger the chance of mistakes), but all-in-all, if everyone they arrested had a nice notation under their name of "convicted rapist," "convicted aggravated assault," shit like that, functionally nobody would have flinched. So, we the people are pushing the government to operate within its lane. But....that's not enough. Because they've shown that they cannot and will not operate in good faith. They have violated NINETY SIX court orders in less than a month. ICE is among the largest, best-funded military forces in the WORLD. And you don't build something like that without intending to use it broadly as a military force. We have a standing army intended for occupation and repression of the American people still out there, answerable only to a dictator, with absolute and total contempt for any legal constraints. That still exists, and must be dealt with. We need to continue to attack ICE's makeup and methods, and to seek legal remedy and punishment for all wrongdoing thus far. Bivens suits, habeas petitions, and criminal prosecutions. All of that. Understand that making a bully behave within the rules is only part of the war. Taking away the bully's means and ability to bully the American people is the fight.
  4. Oh, it's inherent.....to MAGA. Rick Scott...REPUBLICAN senator from Florida....was CEO of HCA when it SYSTEMATICALLY defrauded Medicare and Medicaid for FUCKING BILLIONS. It was the largest healthcare fraud case IN US HISTORY. And, what do we do when the fraudster is a white Republican? Pay him lots of money, reward him with a seat in the US Senate. Again, every accusation is a confession. The entire Trump regime and everyone in it operates in a completely fraud and grift-based economy. Take away fraud and grift, and nobody there would be worth a dented penny. So they scream about it....to detract from their practice of it. Oh, and of course, don't forget Trump pardoning person after person convicted of defrauding people out of millions/hundreds of millions. This regime fucking LOVES fraud...so long as it gets a cut.
  5. Yeah, that looks fake as fuck, for numerous reasons. Starting with what you said. You don't harvest carrots there in fucking January, I'm pretty damned sure. But I admit, I'm not a farmer. I'm just a guy who got a little tingly when they showed the hot gals popping up in the cornfields on Hee-Haw.
  6. You know what will protect the public from harm? His dumbass actually trying some shit and running headlong into the 2nd amendment. Bring it, you cowardly cocksuckers. The sooner that one of these terrorists is met with a storm of lead pursuant to the Castle Doctrine the better. Correction. Not "one" of these terrorists. Several of them. See, Feds, THIS is the kind of violent threats and intimidation you're supposed to worry about, not some white minnesota granny standing on a public street as you drive by, calling you evil cocksuckers and telling you to GTFO of her town.
  7. Now....realize that many of those "negative" approval states -- probably including Texas -- are because Trump hasn't done ENOUGH evil shit for their liking. YEP. We already know that "create a massive paramilitary apparatus to terrorize and do violence, including killing, against the public to destroy all elements the regime doesn't like" is a 100% acceptable path. MAGA has shown us the way. Joe shoulda used it. Goose, gander, all that shit.
  8. TLDR; MAGA getting mildly upset because "he's hurting the wrong people!", chapter eleventy billion.
  9. Cool. Where's the evidence? And by evidence, we mean real-deal unedited, unaltered video. Because a "sworn statement by ICE officers" has less than zero evidentiary value. Seriously, LESS than zero. As in "if you read a sworn statement by an ICE officer, the only safe conclusion is that something materially different than what it says is what actually happened." And a good defense attorney could absolutely get into the record the pattern and practice of ICE lying (1) in public statements (to media etc.), (2) in reports and sworn statements prepared as internal records, and (3) in statements made in/filed with courts. In short, the record is plain that ICE habitually lies, and as such, statements alone cannot be regarded as any probative evidence of anything. If an ICE officer files a statement that says "it was cold outside," it best be accompanied by timestamped third-party photos and videos of snow on the fucking ground. Otherwise, it was actually more likely that the temp was above 80 degrees. Bring the proof of "assault," Bondi, you lying fucking cunt. Bring it.
  10. Did you not read her name? She's a dirty ay-rab. Duh.
  11. God I hate that piece of shit. I need to keep doing significant transactions in pounds through August. I’m just the last week, the dollar has gone from 1.34 to 1.38 vs the pound. He’s cratering our economy, our trade, and our currency. And not only is nobody stopping him, his party can’t gobble his mushroom dick hard enough. I hate them all so much.
  12. Some of the happiest moments of my life have been driving a 1947 Willys jeep on a ranch and into town, or a 1980 Lada sedan on Armenian "roads." They are pure "cars," as in they perform the following functions: they transport you from Point A to Point B. That's it. That's all they do. The purity is beautiful.
  13. But what's important is that we WOULD be bitching. Of that you can be assured. And get off my frozen lawn.
  14. IF YA AIN'T RUBBIN YA AIN'T RACIN!
  15. ICE. In Milan. It's kinda perfect. Maybe they can imitate their forerunners, and have their trip end at Piazzale Loreto. The Esso station is gone now, but I'm sure there are other nearby structures that will suffice.
  16. The grandkids are actually damned solid leverage. And for those grandparents who would burn that bridge so they can give unyielding fealty to a fucking asshole who doesn't care if they liver or die....well, fuck 'em.
  17. I mean, I'm one of those morons, except I know how to drive on it (esp in a truck). Needed the 4X4 to pop out of my driveway, but after that, no need.
  18. Got out of the hood and downtown with no issues. There are still a few icy patches in shady areas, but they are melting quickly. I suspect there may be a few small re-frozen patches in the morning, but very patchy. Just pay attention, and you should be okay. This storm was a bit more than we expected, I think.
  19. Sorry, she ain't American, and sure ain't a "heritage American," so it's good that she's dead. One less of 'em to deal with, amirite fellow MAGAs?
