Hey legals! They're coming for your green cards!
So, border "czar" Tom Homan is pissed (be still my schadenfreude) and now is actively calling to "widen the aperture" to non-criminals. And so we see what we've been seeing since February 1: clients with no criminal record randomly getting detained when they go in for their ICE check-ins, and getting deported at traffic stops. Meanwhile, those with serious criminal records (or ones actually committing crimes) are breathing sighs of relief as they are easily able to outrun the bloated machine that's more interested in quantity over quality. You think MS-13 shows up to ICE check-ins?
When one inevitably commits a crime, there will be press statements to further cement the lie of an invasion.
This is the danger of this noxious ideology, what led me to sue to unseal the "Founder" John Tanton's papers at the University of Michigan. It goes like this:
Don't like non-white people > we're losing our country > it's an invasion! > we need the military, all hands on deck, this is war > how do we find them all? > call them all criminals and pick up the first ones you see > we told the people we'd get rid of more! where are they? > Dunno but just pick 'em all up, even if those dirty immigration lawyers get them out, we can still count them as detained > let's spend more taxpayer $ on this, throw everything we got at it, don't worry about the economy, we'll just tell everyone it's patriotic to pay $9 for a dozen eggs...
What a cluster. It'll never be enough enforcement to satisfy the white nationalist ideologues running our country. Never. That's the lie behind their slavish devotion to "border security." There are no real metrics to determine when the border is secure.
They'll be happy when our country is left with nothing but its border. Dirty ideology is what produces cruelty in otherwise normal people.
This administration isn't protecting us from a national security threat. It *is* the national security threat.

You made your bed. Damn shame we all have to sleep in it.
Honeymoon over? More and more Republicans, including diehard MAGA farmers and teachers, regret voting for Donald Trump; here's what they have to say

Donald Trump in the Oval office
TRUMP PROPOSES NUCLEAR DEAL WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA TO HALVE NUCLEAR ARMS SPENDING! A VICTORY FOR SANITY!
In a refreshing change to the madness of the nuclear arms race, Donald Trump has said that he wants to restart nuclear arms control talks with Russia and China and that eventually he hopes all three countries could agree to cut their massive defense budgets in half.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval office, President Trump stated:
'There’s no reason for us to be building brand-new nuclear weapons. We already have so many. You could destroy the world 50 times over, 100 times over. And here we are building new nuclear weapons, and they’re building nuclear weapons.
'We’re all spending a lot of money that we could be spending on other things that are actually, hopefully, much more productive. Would you agree with that, ajay?'
ajay said:
'Well, yes, I would actually, Donald, and if as well you can bring an end to that stupid and pointless war in the Ukraine I'll buy you a pint and a bag of nuts the next time I see you in the pub.'
'Cheers, ajay! I'm working on it,' replied the Donald, bringing the press briefing to a close.

All Heil the idiocy.
"I swear by God this holy oath
that I shall render unconditional obedience
to the Leader of the [American] Reich and people,
[Donald Trump], supreme commander of the armed forces,
and that as a brave [republican] I shall at all times be prepared
to give my life for this oath."
It's bcos these flags, like trumpy, are really, really, manly.
You know, like rape, is really manly, fraud is manly
lying, cheating, grifting...
In Utah Kamala Harris got 37.8% support.
The highest Dem support since 1964.
( Lots of women in Mormon States)

Everything is going according to plan.
The system we live in has always been about dividing people down as many lines as possible, if they're arguing they're malleable, distracted and point their fingers at one another rather than the people that deliberately made it an issue in the first place. The unfortunate thing is people also seem to be extremely susceptible to being told how to think.
We're in end game territory, now the ploy is focusing on dividing the identity and by identity. Though sexuality, nor belief constitute the basis of identity, theyre mearly an aspect. The language around this particular part of everything going on in the world, is very deliberate, (as it always is) in using,
"I identify as...". Which serves to make it personal, as any disagreement will be taken as an attack therefore exacerbating the perceived issue.
People with some from of gender dysmorphia/dysphoria have always existed (likely always will depending on the road genetic manipulation goes) they're a fraction of the population (~1.0%) (citation needed). It becomes problematic when children and teens are thrown in the mix as 99% of teens are only doing it for attention. Children are being coached into it by irresponsible parents. Leveraging their underdeveloped mind along with the fact people have masculine and feminine personality traits (which has been noted in psychology for decades) and twisting it into a sign they're trans. Then claiming hate speech (or fascist, without a shred of irony) if anyone disagrees.
Offending someone is not a crime nor should it be.
You are entitled to feel however you want about whatever you want, no one has to care though.
I could go on but there's too much to explain.

Divide and conquer..if we are all given a boogeyman to be afraid of we stay hidden in our fears and drown in the echo chamber of the algorithm we are in..and if we are all thinking the same then we are not thinking.. and we are told what to think or believe we forget the real enemy which is who is keeping us tied down

Trapped in a circus. Surrounded by clowns.
Agreed. Lawmakers should not be lawbreakers. And those who sit on the sidelines and judge those who are advocating to make a difference should offer their own solutions.
As a reminder: It's okay to love the men in your life while detesting the patriarchy. Actually, it's more than that—it's justified.

US and Russian diplomats at Riyadh
US AND RUSSIA TO EXPLORE CLOSER RELATIONS AFTER UKRAINE TALKS IN RIYADH
From the time that Donald Trump, one short month ago, became President of the USA, he has worked tirelessly to resolve the problems existing in the Ukraine, reining back the malignant forces of the warmongering NATO organisation and its eastward expansion that threatened the borders of Russia
As a result, in tremendous news for the people of war-torn Ukraine, the US and Russia have begun talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to bring about an end to the conflict, a conflict that under the previous US administration of 'Genocide' Joe Biden had been in danger of escalating into one of nuclear proportions.
At the conclusion of today's meeting, US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said that the 'two sides had agreed to create a high-level team to support Ukraine peace talks and to explore closer relations and economic cooperation.'
However, Rubio also said that the talks are only the 'first step of a long and difficult journey', although, giving grounds to a degree of optimism for a successful and speedy resolution, an advisor of President Putin said the meeting ‘went well’.
Should the present talks ultimately be successful, the senseless slaughter of the conscripted soldiers of both Russia and the Ukraine in this most stupid of wars will at last end and grieving mothers and fathers will no longer have their sons returned to them in body bags.

📌 Friday: 13 judges who hadn’t even been sworn in yet—plus five assistant chief immigration judges—were dismissed without notice.
📌 Saturday: The Trump administration fired 20 immigration judges without explanation.
