Yeah, I mean when you have a European power colonize a native area, then the locals take over for a while before the noisy neighbor to the north re-colonizes it, then rebuilds on the labor of people that were already there (Surprise! You’re Americans now!), there’s going to be some back-and-forth culinary Frankensteining going on. For example; the California burrito.

Bonuses due to labyrinthine rules. If their paychecks stop, it’s a whole different situation.

So let it. They passed the last funding bill because it also included other departments, this is DHS by itself. Let’s see how many ICE show up for work when they stop getting paid.

They are talking about an earlier case, Buckley v. Valeo, that they say laid the foundation for Citizens United.

Please, please let them try to assault a Latin American embassy only to be met with a hail of (accurate) gunfire. ICE thinks they have qualified immunity? They would find out real quick what absolute immunity looks like.

Luckily, I chose to fly to Tijuana tomorrow and cross the border on foot rather than fly into San Diego.

I mean, it’s not hard. Vance (or whoever) runs as President, Trump in the VP slot, then if they win, whoever it is resigns. That’s literally all it takes.

I really hope this pushes a lot of senior leadership over the edge. I’m sure there are a good number who were doing the “this is fine” routine up to now, but this should remove all doubt that they are dealing with a child. I hope he strikes the most combative, patronizing tone possible.

I told them I have anxiety. About getting Covid.

White men are fighting back. That’s why Charlie Kirk is dead.

Yep. Voting in the primary AND general elections, every other year, is the bare minimum for democratic participation. Not once every four years.

Turns out I’ve been GDPR-compliant all along.

Except for þe font

Is that a fucking thorn?

“We tested in simulation and it was fine”

C’mon, IPv4 has so many problems. Sure, let’s reserve a whole /8 for a single loopback address, that’s efficient. 🙄

Except they aren’t targeting the one group they always said they would; masked thugs snatching people off the street.

Depends on who responds. Some will just nod and inform the caller that they are indeed federal law enforcement, but others (who absolutely despise ICE as cosplaying wannabes) may decide that taking the actors into custody, even if only for their own protection if a crowd is forming, is the best course of action. If it happens enough, it should force DHS to direct agents to properly identify themselves, and even if not, some actual consequences for these thugs may discourage some from participating. And as others have pointed out, friction between law enforcement agencies is in the population’s best interest.

and there are still masked officers people abducting people off the street

If they refuse to show law enforcement ID, they are just armed people impersonating law enforcement. Call 911!

Well, after last night I think it’s safe to say I will not be liking the Dodgers as a whole any time soon. Ohtani and Teo are cool, though. Impossible to dislike Mookie.

Don’t make me like the Dodgers, please.
