And where is Susan Collins? I noticed that she has not been interviewed, has not released a press release. Is she hiding? Does she give a shit? Rhetorical questions.

Jesus Christ in a sequin covered leotard, what the actual fuck? Well done, America, the history books of the future will speak of this period of US history in the same way our history books speak of Nazi Germany.

Positive OT news is needed, so for those who are interested... Cakes Jr got her certificates for the first year of her college course today. She passed all elements of her course with merit, except for "beverages", where she passed with distinction. We may have a future Hooper on our hands.

trump's purpose for ICE is a coup when the 2026 midterms go against him. Before anyone jumps in and tells me that's unrealistic, imagine what he would have been able to do when Biden won. J6 would have looked much different had that crowd been replaced with a more disciplined, well armed assault force like ICE.

“Blanche graduated from American University in 1994 and from Brooklyn Law School in 2003.”

Q: can a university revoke a degree

A: Yes, universities can revoke degrees. This rare but legally backed action typically occurs for serious academic misconduct (like plagiarism or falsifying research), admissions fraud, or significant administrative errors.

It’s time. Don’t let him get a Texas, or any Red State, law license either.

These ICE agents have demonstrated themselves to be nothing but an angry, aggressive, noxiously narrow minded 21st century lynch mob.

POCAN: I think the problem is you're talking to rich people. Maybe this will help. Who pays tariffs?

LOEFFLER: 80% of tariffs are paid by foreign countries

POCAN: Okay. That would be like me saying I have long flowing red hair. It's complete BS. Small businesses pay tariffs.

Illegal immigrant (not asylum/refugee) deportation - a suggested hierarchy of priority:

1. Violent criminals

2. Non-violent but serious criminals (e.g. significant theft)

3. Petty criminals - repeat offenders

4. Unemployed immigrants here less than three years

5. Employed but paid-under-the-table immigrants here less than three years

I could go further, but frankly, I don't think that deporting immigrants who are employed, paying taxes, and have been here for at least three years with no criminal record should be *any* kind of priority right now or for the foreseeable future. Maybe make an effort to get them on the radar, fine 'em if they can afford it, give them some deadlines to apply for citizenship, but if they've been working here, peaceably, for years? Let 'em stay.

This is strictly for the immigrants who are brown or black. Strictly.

There are Russian immigrants giving birth at Trump properties. No one talks about that.

There are Irish immigrants. No one talks about them.

All Trump supporters worry about is skin color. Periotd.

You know that if all the immigrants were pale in color, the Trump Land individuals would be perfectly happy.

Brighton Beach. Plus the Russian mob has, in many locations including NYC, replaced the Italian Mafia.

The whole world sees us

Especially Ireland (I am so tickled)

They may see us, but they aren't going to come save us.

We are going to have to save ourselves

Just like the Hungarians did with their 77%

That's not the first time that's been said, I'm far from the first person to say it

LDF almost set the place on fire today with her combination newscast and history lesson, and when you can find some time I would really like for you to listen to it

Dear media,

You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated.

Thank you

You can't sayrapied. Stephanopoulos get sued for that. You have to say sexually assaulted.

Disarm ICE. If they want to arrest and detain people they can try to do it the old-fashioned way, by hand.

First muay thai fighter they run across is going to teach them a valuable lesson. Couple of broken noses and ribs will do for a start.

Well yeah! Cause outside in Australia your being chased by big ass spiders, flying lizards,

huge scorpions, and 67 species of venomous snakes. You run and fight for your life

Fuck that. I've lost 20-25 pounds since 2020. I can more easily make a salad and take the dog for a walk, and I'm not wasting 90minutes in traffic every day.

Fuck Elon.

Right. I gained weight doing pure office work. I ate my stress.

The desperation of the financial class globally, to stave off the collapse of the commercial real estate market, is becoming palpable.

Office buildings are selling for single-digit percentages of the debt behind them. This has the potential to collapse global finance, dwarfing the 2008 mortgage collapse. C.R.E. debt is in absolutely everything.

Diane's Less Hostile Username's avatar

And instead of investing to make those buildings into what we need (housing), they just sit there derelict.

InMyRoom's avatar

It is less expensive to tear down an office building and build an apartment than to restructure the office into housing.

Diane's Less Hostile Username's avatar

Even better! Tear them down and build housing.

Smoke O'Possum's avatar

Fine. They're still not getting me back into a cubicle.

ICE is a private army for DHS. Obviously, it has been funded far beyond the needs of immigration enforcement, more like the military budget of the UK or France. Immigration enforcement is just busy work. Their real task is to protect the financial elite if things go South. The regular army is too prone to remember their oath to the Constitution. The elites don't care about immigration, in fact, they profit from it. But the spectacle of masked goons attacking people in the street is a deterrent to any protest or uprising.

InMyRoom's avatar

TFG's private army.

InMyRoom's avatar

I also think a large number of military personnel will follow orders. Those loyal to the Constitution have been driven out.

They're still trying to make that guy a thing? He was a bad imitation of Brother Jed Smock. A one-trick stage magician, really, and not that good at the one trick.

I'm gonna need all the Democratic candidates for president in 2028 to promise to prosecute Markwayne Fucking Mullin.

Alternative Dog's avatar

And Crispy Gnome and Bondi. I don't even care if the prosecutions don't lead to a conviction. Just drag their asses through the wringer for as long as possible. As a taxpayer, I will happily pay extra to fund a relentless effort to make the rest of their lives a living hell.

swmnguy's avatar

That weighs heavy for me in the midterms, too. Angie Craig's support of the heinous Laken Riley Act makes voting for her, should the need arise, a challenge. Not to mention her likely stampede to the right, should she win the upcoming primary.

Parakeetist's avatar

Also, that they delete ICE.

No talking out of both sides of their mouths, either.
