I listened to a podcast recently that suggested that the current day equivalent to Paul would be Jim Bakker. Said he was a grifter who was most concerned with making dough.
A media guy on CNN had it last night. The first potential crime was a misdemeanor and the second was election fraud. The third was conspiracy. A magistrate judge signed off. I wondered if the first two were time barred.
ForbesThese Companies Have The Biggest ICE ContractsDemonstrations have demanded an end to federal funding for ICE, after two protesters were killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.
Give him a break. He’s on your side. He views the law as a serious thing. Pretty sure he left UT because it’s new MAGA overlords were not happy with his view that Trump was lawless.
I’m watching these people on tv saying “art of the deal” but I’ve yet to see anyone explain that if this is all about security, what is it that Trump is trying to negotiate that he can’t already do?
I’m sure it’s not, but I take no solace in it. If you listen to what BP and Ice officers are saying to the protesters, they seem pretty bought in to being pro MAGA. I read that as well but had the impression that it came from long tougher ups and not rank and file.
You make good points but I think ice will have more than enough people by nov to walk into selective locations and take what they want. It doesn’t take many people to go into minority communities and start harassing people. All they need is word to get out. It will have a chilling effect on turnout. I don’t think they need anything other than targeted activities to have an impact if they attack the map right Oh, and I don’t know if hot wheels can do what he was saying about taking over the elections in Harris County but do you think he will turn over ballots if Trump asks? I hope you are right though.
I think it more like he sends ice into cities in high minority areas to suppress turnout. And/or, he sends ice to confiscate ballots on Election Day. No one will stop him initially. By the time the courts catch up, they will already have taken possession of the ballots. Whose going to trust any subsequent count after they have possessed them for 1 minute much less several days. There was an article I read today that said something to the effect that Trump has soured on the National Guard because he realized that they were resistant to blind loyalty. ice and border patrol he’s discovered, are in fact loyal and their numbers are growing by the day.
As my high school coach told me when I muttered “fuck this shit” after getting run over by a senior who outweighed me by 200 lbs, “Quit bitching, someone has to hold the tackling dummy”.
