Once all the immigrants are gone, we'll return to the 70s, 80s, and 90s when crime rate was way higher than it is now?

Trump β€˜Determined’ the U.S. Is Now in a War With Drug Cartels, Congress Is Told

β€œThis is not stretching the envelope,” Geoffrey Corn said. β€œThis is shredding it."

On administration's confidential note to Congress

Completely right.

Drug cartels not = "armed conflict"
The people killed are civilians

Corn is retired judge advocate general, former Army law-of-war senior adviser

Whenever I hear him talking about "the finest this, or the best quality that", I'm always reminded of Charlie Sheen's cufflink story:

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Techbros want technofeudalism where they rule with an iron fist through mass surveillance and autonomous drones, the latter being important because it free them from being constrained/having to listen the military. Truly individualized control over an society held at gunpoint

In Going After His Foes, Trump Sets a Precedent That Could Haunt His Allies

A grotesquery of false equivalence. Trump officials should/will be prosecuted because of their crimes, not because Trump established the precedent of prosecuting people because of their politics. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/u...

America’s most farming-dependent counties backed Trump by an average of 78%, up from both 2016 & 2020, despite him previously instigating a trade war that caused higher prices for supplies & decreased exports. Soy farmers are projected to lose 16M tons of exports to China in the next 3 months alone.

Has America become so soft and woke that we can't appreciate why all of our top generals need to leave their posts and fly to Virginia to be lectured by the Fox News weekend host about the warrior mentality?
