This really should be the death of liberal politics and the reverence of the constitution, but it will not be...people are still going to hold on to that as if it will save them from Trumps complete takeover and fascist makeover of the country.
Trump has figured out that the so-called checks and balances are meaningless when there is no independent apparatus to enact them. I really just hope the average person can see that the country ran, poorly, on "good faith and manners" for over 200 years, but, when push comes to shove, the government as it is simply does not work.
So I think I figured this out. The American economy has relied upon immigrant workers for a long time to do the work that nobody wanted to do. Moreover the American economy has relied on homeless people and near-dwells to act as a cudgel to the middle class. However with the increased movement of jobs to other sectors like India the owners of this country have no more reason to pretend that anybody other than the upper middle class is worth anything to them. By that I mean they will vote for their interests at The ballot box. This current purging is a way to satisfy the hogs while getting rid of people that would be a drain on a society that is about to collapse. The tech and AI sectors are in a huge bubble and are bound to collapse in the face of China. All we really have is waging unpopular forever wars with increasingly despicable client states. Why not Purge the people that you view as a drain on society while emboldening those that you're about to Griff next at the same time.
As far as taking care of ice goes, I have no idea I'm not a fed poster
My only solace in the face of this is that the US is really to impulsive and lazy to see anything through. Yes, it will be terrible...but hopefully we are too dumb and fat to reach complete authoritarian control in regards to eliminating dissent. Kind of like how we just got tired of waiting for AI and called LLMs AI
I bet pretty soon charter schools will have child protection packages to sell to parents which will "significantly reduced the chance of a ballistic style situation occurring with your child"
My brain worm is that the FBI wrote "anti ice" instead of "fuck ice" because the latter would be partially blurred on TV due to naughty words and boomers wouldn't be as scared
It looked like every Dallas cop was out there this morning...they shut down 35 going north and south. I didn't even know a detention center was there. Guess I am just a lib.
Inveterate fucking losers
