I’d believe it all except you leave out any details. Almost like this is a canned response for any allegation of ICE detaining Puerto Ricans. Because to be clear, a simple Google search reveals there are multiple allegations of multiple instances.

No amount of sane washing is going to push this under the rug.

The official attitudes about this are interesting. In some countries they’re more worried about protecting the privacy of the accused. In other countries they identify the accused because they’re worried about people being disappeared.

Dude. He’s already breaking the laws by sending people directly to CECOT. He’s ignoring court orders and the need to get an order of removal for people. They’re arresting people just for speaking Spanish without having a passport on them, like that Puerto Rican family.

If they’re ignoring all the rules for people who can’t pony up citizenship paperwork in time then there’s nothing stopping them from quickly deporting a natural born citizen. Hell, anyone on the street without documents on their person is a valid target under the observed tactics.

They are not being honest with you.

The NG can be used as law enforcement by the Governors though. That’s a legitimate training for them to get …

Wow, nothing like a shove forward as you step back right? I got news for you buddy, this isn’t the kind of thing just a few people can fix. The country actually elected him. We need to build a movement to fight this, to prevent the country from just electing the next one.

I thought maybe there was someone else on the other side with him but nope, just him, stumbling towards a fence. That’s not policing that’s a fucking execution.

I didn’t say they did?

It’s more like we came out of WW2 up by 10 because the other teams got decimated. As the decades have gone on they’ve rebuilt their teams and scored some goals so while we kept scoring, they were catching up. This is actually the natural process where a rebuilt Europe was expected to eventually equal the US.

But Trump just blew up the scoreboard and now everyone is wondering if we’re even still playing the same game.

That’s part of my point though, he’s going to have the very best and about ten times the people on the job as compared to his security detail back then.

I mean, it takes all kinds right? A desire to go out big can manifest in so many ways and he didn’t go after an A list actor, or a CEO, or any number of other high profile people. There is a reason he decided on Trump, even if his original impetus was suicide.

The sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculous. It’s something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.

It would require Apple to accept a dollar less in profit.

Marketing aside, any normative young person can pass boot camp. (And basic training) The military gets worried when the pass rates for those courses gets low. Versus keeping pass rates low for schools like special squirrel.

It’s hard to say. He’s definitely closer to it than any president since JFK. But security is way better these days. And before the FBI comes knocking on my door, this is just an objective analysis.

We’ve already had a shooter with a near miss. So clearly there’s the will to do this among some segment of the population. Probably a conservative who feels betrayed or person who is truly far left, (not just a progressive).

However, security during the campaign and for JFK was a lot less than it is now. It’s going to be a lot harder to get close enough with a rifle. If you think of a plan the USSS has already thought about it and probably has a counter of some sort.

So while he’s definitely the closest, I don’t think we’ll see another president assassinated unless they do something truly stupid like gut the USSS.

That’s a useless show of disrespect. People we need in place would be fired for taking over one news cycle. Worse it could kick a purge of officers into high gear by giving ammunition to conservatives that the military has “gone rogue”.

Greenland is hard. They’d likely do it. It’s a legal order under the War Powers Act. They would probably do it in a completely different way than going full explodey like they did with Iraq, but it would happen.

Now they could drag their feet, super telegraphing their moves, effectively giving Congress time to use the WPA to shut it down. But it’s not guaranteed by any means.

Canada would see mass desertions though. And Mexico or Panama are actually the most likely targets. The military would invade those places without a second thought.

Because they aren’t robots.

In this case there was no real issue. He was trying to get free advertising out of the court. But also, we’ve had animated avatars and text to voice for over a decade now. This isn’t an AI use case.

This whole thing is a joke right? A put up between the newspaper, cops, and park management?

Nope, participation in a system that’s forced on you isn’t consent. But you can choose to do something to change the system. Get active, march, vote, organize.
