Here's my input on the employment thing. It is no secret that many government employees do not like Trump. They now have the option to quit with 8 months pay to get away from him. Or they could stick it out giving him the middle finger the whole time. Or they could retire with a nice exit pay bonus. I think there is no way 2million bug out. It will be interesting to see how many do bug out though. mspart

I think I understand the reasoning that Trump would use different rules of engagement. Why do you think he wouldn't? mspart

https://thehill.com/homenews/5113527-omb-federal-funding-freeze-rescind/ White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that Trump’s executive orders halting foreign assistance, terminating DEI programs and others referenced in the OMB memo from Monday remain “in full force and effect.” Didn't rescind ALL federal aid. mspart

RV, why are they called illegal aliens in the law? 1. They are aliens, meaning they do not belong to the USA. 2. They illegally entered the country they do not belong to. They are illegally in the USA. Just by being here, and having illegally entered, they have broken US law and are therefore criminals. Even CNN says so. https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/24/politics/undocumented-immigrants-not-necessarily-criminal/index.html Under federal law, it is a crime for anyone to enter into the US without the approval of an immigration officer – it’s a misdemeanor offense that carries fines and no more than six months in prison. Not a punt. Just the facts. mspart

Your chart is misleading. Here is another chart for you: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jp4xqx2z3o They had similar apprehension numbers according to your chart but vastly differing amounts of incoming with Biden way higher, 2 and 3 times higher. You can imagine it was easy for Biden to get his numbers as the amount he let in vastly outweighed those he caught. You might try to show the total picture rather than trying to cherry pick to your advantage. mspart

He's the president of France. If anyone should stay away fromt anything looking nazi-esque, it is the French President. Your analysis is full is inconsistent. You are taking intent and body positioning as cues. Musk is autistic and famously unorthoddox in his movement. And there is nothing in his past that would suggest he is a nazi. So why call him a nazi? Just like you immediately said Macron wasn't a nazi based on body language, but Musk is by body language. The question is do you really think Musk is a nazi and was doing that to show the world he is a nazi? If not, then this should stop. If so, you might show other time where he undoubtedly showed himself to be a nazi. mspart

Here, I'll save you a search. mspart

So Macron did a Nazi salute as well then right? That video is further up on this thread. mspart

If the US military were able to conduct a real war, the cartels wouldn't stand a chance. But that is not the lesson from the last 40 years as Mr UB likes to say. mspart

4 of 5 were done by the previous admin? 2 were local PD, 2 were DHS. So that woudl be 2/5 were done by the previous admin. And why is it that ICE is getting literally hundreds now? Why didn't local PDs or DHS get them before now? mspart

What evidence is there that someone missed their meds because of this? mspart

Boy they were able to get around unfettered. It must be easy being an illegal alien felon. Or at least it used to be. mspart

There is nothing from any news site about this on the mighty google, as of now. mspart

Because he was a protected class of people. mspart

I thought you were talking about the Biden presidency there for a minute. Remember: This is the best version of Biden ever. The border is secure. This inflation is transitory and not a big deal. The economy is great, why can nobody see this? Boys/men are now defined as girls/women in Title IX. These are why Kamala didn't win, she was a continuation of all of this. mspart

She was already agitated before her questioning began. Is it too much to ask that the Senators, the most august quorum of legislators in the world, act like it? Probing questions are fine. Screeching is very unprofessional. Same with gotcha questions. Just asking for them to be serious. mspart

Maybe, but my problem is with my laptop. Sometimes it is fine, but the longer I'm on, the worse it gets. Maybe I just need to come in and go out from time to time. mspart

It's a bidding war!!!!! mspart

But can you drive it? mspart

Yeah, that would be a wrong move. mspart

Biden did this one. https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/biden-grants-clemency-man-convicted-1999-killing-mother-son-bridgeport/3480717/ mspart

Offthemat - you are missing the point. The fires and their destruction are not the fault of the government, period. No amount of information to the contrary is allowed or will be processed. All that does in disrupt the narrative a certain group is trying to make stick. It doesn't matter if the reservoir was dry and closer to the fire. If it had been full there would have been less pipe flow resistance because of the shorter pipes because the reservoir was closer. That's not the government's fault. It doesn't matter if the grasses and shrubs surrounding the area were cut short or not. Short or tall grasses and shrubs all burn the same. That's not the government's fault. It doesn't matter if The Fire Budget was decreased. That's not the government's fault. It doesn't matter if the governor let the volunteers go. That's not the government's fault. It doesn't matter if the bond measure that passed 6 years ago to raise taxes to increase reservoir volume was never started, that is not the government's fault. What is it that you don't understand? mspart

I've looked on the google and this info is only on facebook and X and one other place. No MSM site has this listed so far. But snopes has it. And tries to debunk it. https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/01/28/trump-75000-children-found/ So it is pretty amazing that Snopes felt the need to say this is wrong when it isn't even a thing yet. They said the IG's report is bunkus and not to be believed. The 300k kids are noted not to have been given notices to appear in court. Snopes takes that to mean they are not necessarily missing. However the IG report right after stating that number says: ICE must take immediate action to ensure the safety of UCs (undocumented children) residing in the United States. Based on our audit work and according to ICE officials, UCs who do not appear for court are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor. That's sounds like they may be in trouble and are therefore not located. So Snopes cherry picked. You can't have it both ways. Anyway, that is what I found. mspart

And you have it absolutely correct from the HS thing. The HS kid that was targeted by the native and by the media sued the media and got money. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/07/media/cnn-settles-lawsuit-viral-video/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/24/media/washington-post-sandmann-settlement-lawsuit/index.html NBC also settled. So yes, you had this absolutely correct. mspart

I'm guessing if FEMA survives, they won't pass over those with Trump signs anymore. There are too many reports of this kind of activity with Helene in various part of the eastern seaboard, with this person admitting to doing it as part of FEMA and stating that it was standard procedure to avoid hostile situations. They determined homes with Trump signs to be hostile before talking to the victims of the storm there. mspart
