CATHOLIC — ICE, BORDER PATROL & LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS - The POPE said Trump’s immigrant deportation plan is evil and Vance’s rationalization to justify it … is wrong.  The POPE said “Trumps deportation plan is a crisis.” Catholics believe the POPE’s words are infallible.  The Bible says “You cannot serve God and mammon".   SO YOU MUST CHOOSE!

So on top of the loss of labor they’re ok with the loss of taxable income. I’m not and economist and I’ve never played one on tv, typically it was a nurse, but I’m not seeing any economic benefit. Call me crazy.

They figure the insider trading will make up the shortfall.

Video will soon surface of Sir's Hitler mustache. Shorn into the black-dyed hair on Sir's pubic mound, just above "The Emperor," Sir informs us that it "Helps if you look upside-downsy to see the nose and the two eyes... does the salute too... sometimes."

That FBI agent who resigned to protest Kash Patel had a point: the agent had gone through rigorous selection and training prior to getting his credentials. Kash Patel didn't. The agent was part of an elite group at the top of Federal Law Enforcement and Kash isn't qualified to empty their waste baskets.

It's a damn shame this agent had to put up with this shit for ten minutes.

Before you start quaking in your boots do remember one thing: the ICE deportation agents are not just understaffed, they are also not rocket surgeons.

Many have high school diplomas and that is it. The ones who rise to supervisory roles also have some college. And those supervisors have to use every brain cell available keeping the dummies in line. They have to deal with alcoholics, domestic abusers and fraternization issues. Their employees have to be retrained constantly about CONSTITUTION and how it works. Nothing takes and every day is a brand new day. Sexism, racism and sexual harassment between employees is rampant.

I'm not saying that this is not as bad as DHS wants us to think it is. IT IS BAD. But more in the way that giving a monkey command of a Jewish Space Laser is bad. The monkey might accidentally hit some right combination of buttons and prove the universe is completely and randomly insane.

"The new agreement, signed Monday by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is more about allowing DHS to go fishing around in IRS records to find people who are in the USA without authorization."

Gee, what a surprise! Two of the Fulvous Fuckwad's trained attack Dachshunds teaming up to make a deal to do something that is, basically, forbidden. I'm waiting in breathless anticipation for a knock on my door at 2:00 AM, by five burley individuals wearing balaclavas, to take me away for not paying enough taxes to ease the financial burdens of the rich. (I'm a natural born citizen, born to two naturally born citizens with one naturally born grandparent and three nationalized grandparents, so I guess it's either a reeducation camp or El Salvador for me.)

"But don’t worry, the Trump administration says But don’t worry, the Trump administration says this will all be very cool and very legal, like every other abuse Team Trump has ever perpetrated."

Again, nothing to be concerned about here; this will be made legal just as soon as Mooseballs Mussolini has his economic "advisors" draw up legislation to be rubber stamped by the two Congressional Houses' Asshole RINO Caucuses.

-----

"Who ever heard of a president trying to use the IRS for illegal purposes"

My guess? The same fine folk who think that the DOJ should no longer be an independent agency and should be used as a tool to force Agenda47 -- and any other illiberal, extralegal, illegal, and/or unconstitutional wet dreams of unlimited power that the Amber Ardipithecus ramidus has -- down our collective throats.

-----

"We wish Melanie well on her next endeavor"

To the RINOs of the New GOP, wishing someone well after leaving the Mango Malignancy's employ is no different than their sending "thoughts and prayers" to the families who lost loved ones to the Right wingnuts unlimited 2A rights or those living in devastated areas because Jewish Space Lasers are fucking around with the weather (definitely not climate change).

-----

"Trump, of course, sneers at the very idea that undocumented people are anything but a burden to America, because as we all know they take all the jobs"

No, the undocumented don't take ***all*** the jobs, just the jobs that are traditionally filled by Black Americans and other POCs. I challenge everyone to give an example of an undocumented immigrant taking the job of a white middle manager, senior manager, or denizen of a C-Suite.

What do you think "legal" means when the dictator is the one doing the crime?

You have to get your head out of the legal framework and start thinking about morality. The legal framework broke. It is no longer a vehicle for anything approaching order or morality.

Reddit: “ HELP! My brother was taken by ICE!”

After over 24 hours of pure terror and hopelessness we were contacted by our country's embassy in Washington after making a call to their emergency line and they have an update for us. My brother was apparently mistakenly detained by ICE along with other students and he was sent to a detention center. I'm not sure if it's the one everyone said in Louisiana like some of the comments yesterday because they did not mention it, but they confirmed his detention and appointed two embassy lawyers for him through the consulate in Houston.

I can't speak and say much about the details obviously, but they reassured us that if he did not have social media or have political posts and did not join any protests or civil movements he will be ok and will be released, to which we confirmed it with them and they are in communication with the US government and the university and hopefully he will be out in a few days

IMHO, an “expected” belief is anything an ICE agent thinks, I. E., it isn’t what the target thinks, it’s what the ICE agent thinks. It’s a delegation of unbridled discretion to anyone with the right badge.
