Trump is certainly all of that and more, like fascist, felon, sex abuser, etc. Take your pick. What border they were picked up at isn’t relevant in the least and that wasn’t my point in the least either. The point is, this is nothing new for the enforcement officers at the border. Sure, maybe the fact that Iranians were arrested not long after we attempted to destroy their nuclear capabilities (which we didn’t, but the liar in chief lied about that anyway) is more than a coincidence but, AGAIN, it’s nothing new to border enforcement officials. Seems this administration is so insecure they have to tout routine law enforcement activities. Pitiful. Per the bold, your childish insults are old hat and just an indication that you’re the one getting “triggered” here.

Arrests and other apprehensions have occurred regularly for decades, especially at the Canadian border. So why all the sudden focus on these individual border arrests by enforcement officials for doing the jobs they’ve been doing for years? It’s a rhetorical question because we all know why. Gotta replace those empty daily DOGE accomplishments with something I guess.

No worries at all. Trump & Co. have pissed me off, that’s all.

I think the difference I referred to is obvious: the complete 180 in GOP ideology today compared to the Reagan/Bush era. The difference may also refer to my own 180 as well. I had tremendous respect for Bush 41, especially, as well as many other Republican politicians over the years. There are absolutely ZERO Republican pols I can say that about today. As for this being my collective posting thread, if you don’t care to read my content, don’t bother. If the volume of my posts annoys you, what can I say? But as this administration continues to abuse its power and stretch the limits of the rule of law, I’ll continue to posts my protestations, so brace yourself because until these fascists are voted out of office, my posts will continue.

The Cheeto in Chief is clueless about the economy. Just a matter of time until his billionaire puppet masters reign him in like they did with the meat processing plants. https://www.epi.org/publication/trumps-deportation-agenda-will-destroy-millions-of-jobs-both-immigrants-and-u-s-born-workers-would-suffer-job-losses-particularly-in-construction-and-child-care/

A clip from a 1980 primary debate. I remember watching this as a newly minted 21 year old.

Absolutely! Good catch and correction is greatly appreciated. The Senator wouldn’t have it any other way.

In the words of the late, great Senator over at TBD, 82-0 baby!

I think Utah reminds JJ of the Bavarian alps of home. He can sing ‘Edelweiss’ and frolic in his lederhosen all along the Wasatch range.

TACO I laughed my a$$ off the other day when he said he has “stopped so many wars.”

Can’t forget that Trump also said that Ukraine started the war! Trump is as dumb as a phuckin’ stump. And I apologize if I just insulted stumps.

It’s obvious that the meat processing billionaires got to somebody in the administration because a day after an ICE raid on one of those facilities, they abruptly stopped. That industry employs a huge number of immigrants.

Yay. ICE caught another bad guy. But they continue their disgraceful abuse as there are 250+ immigrants HELD IN CAGES in “Alligator Alcatraz” WITH NO CRIMINAL CHARGES OR CONVICTIONS. Held in cages for MISDEMEANORS. But because this administration has no problem lying about any of this, I’m sure they will invent some bull$hit charges. WTF happened to our country that ANYONE would be OK with this? Now I long ago rejected the religious dogma I was indoctrinated into as a child, but these self-professed Christian politicians need to read their good book again as God clearly states that individuals and nations will be judged on how they treat “the least of these, and that includes the stranger and the poor. Our nation should be ashamed.

All this talk about “games played”, while important, when it comes to such young players, physical maturity is just as critical in a player’s development. Power isn’t at his physical peak, is yet to acquire his “man strength”, and most likely has a few more years to go before reaching it. That’s why I think we would regret jettisoning him in a few years. We can say that about a few other players on the team as well. Get him a dependable partner who can handle the more physical demands of the position and let him play to his strengths as he matures.

In that case every police officer, prosecutor, judge, etc., should wear masks while doing their jobs as they are all subject to potential retaliation from those they administer justice to. People in the justice system have always been potential targets for retaliation, but knowing who is arresting us is a right in this country and law enforcement is obligated to provide that information. When ICE is involved in extra-judicial activities, especially those targeting US citizen, and they hide their identities to conduct them, then it is operating like a para-military force and that is anathema to the rule of law and our way of life. And just to reiterate my initial post, we can all agree that ICE doing the job they were created to do, ARRESTING CRIMINALS in this country illegally, then we should be grateful and applaud those efforts. But none of us should condone these extra-judicial activities and imo, when there is no criticism of those activities, it is tantamount to being in favor of them.

WTF are you even talking about and how does it have anything at all to do with my post? Never mind. Your snark is old and not productive. Have a nice evening.

Obstructing ICE from doing their job is one thing, obstructing their extra-judicial activities is another. Indeed, it is our responsibility as citizens to protest these tactics which, as I alluded to earlier, are NOT part of their mission and never have been. Their mission is to capture and deport CRIMINALS. I’m surprised that a veteran of our armed services, sworn to protect and defend our Constitution, would be OK with these newly adopted tactics. Especially considering that being here illegally is a misdemeanor and not a criminal offense. As for the rest of your editorial regarding Biden’s “corrupt open border policy?” All due respect, but that is just regurgitated, far right propaganda. And no, I do not wish to discuss that particular issue any further. It’s an exercise in futility.

I look forward to Sammy getting Wally Pipped by Novikov.

About time we got a story about ICE actually doing the job their mission calls for. But that in no way validates the many extra-judicial actions they’ve performed since January. Things like arresting innocent US citizens, setting off explosives to enter the home of a US citizen, raiding elementary schools to round up children, riding thru parks on horseback just because, wearing masks to conceal their identity, or deporting people for MISDEMEANORS, just to name a few. I wonder how many pardoned January 6th criminals serve in their ranks? And I gotta wonder also how attractive it is to groups like the Proud Boys who get to go and round up brown people.

None of that was known at the time I would have told him to go pound sand. And after he tried playing me like that, I’d have been just as inclined to tell him, anyway.

No doubt Adams screwed the pooch with Ullmark, but when Adams matched Boston’s offer and Ullmark said the Sabres would then have to better it in order for him to stay, I would have told Linus to go pound sand as well.
