The fact that no ICE agents have been shot or killed during the current raid push shows that they're not targeting dangerous criminals. They're primarily getting their quotas on peaceful, working immigrants.

If you can’t trust the FIFA Peace Prize winner to not start new wars, then WHO can you trust?

We're speed running something. I don't know what exactly, but it's not good.

So, what are we all going to do when nothing happens? When nothing comes of any of this? What then?

Do you think the Secret Device team for Trump resents how nice it must be on Obama's detail?

The Right barely needs to spend any energy on tearing the left down. We do that quite well all on our own, thank you very much.

Every layoff is another anti-capitalism recruit. Keep going, Bezos. Reap what you sow.

I hate to say it, but I think the Dems have lost this one. The pain of a closed federal government appears to be greater than the pain of losing healthcare subsidies. Perhaps the horrendous premium increases will result in the failure of the insurance industry, though unlikely.

The fine folks who are dying and losing their livelihoods to own the libs are doing God's work.

Once upon a time, Asian countries effectively had one big potential market to sell into, the USA. Now the rest of the world is improving, and their options are widening. Our ability to bully them is diminished. Trump's treatment of Korean engineers will not result in the groveling he's hoping for.

Bringing distrust in our institutions to the left by making them untrustworthy is a helluva plan. Lack of faith in our institutions will deliver the dream of a Fed-free country to Republicans. Then they can bring back local fiefdoms.

Why should we assume the Trump regime gives a shit about legal authority?

I fear the GOP's current Federal takeover tactics will result in a win-win for the right. When they make authoritarian policies, the left can either comply, giving the right power, or they can reclaim local control, giving the right their goal of diminishing the Federal government's power.

Take care of your people. We're on our own now more than ever in our lifetimes. The only people who will help you are your friends.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one’s lifetime.”

Just keep doing what you're doing, Donny. America won't really get the horror of your work until it nearly kills them. Maybe then they will avoid shit like this in the future. Without that, we'll just do this again in 2028.

I hate Musk, but destroying cars owned by people who aren't him is not a great move. It does not help people come together to oppose him.

That's my point. He's completely ass-backwards in what he thinks tariffs are.

Hold on a moment... Does Trump think that tariffs are added to things we export? That's the only rational conclusion I can come to.

The term "mendacious fuck" comes to mind.

If some dude doesn't want to respect your pronouns, feel free to respond with, "yes, ma'am."

Cutting government services won't hurt the people they want to hurt as much as it will hurt their base.

Removing the lawyers means someone doesn't want to be checked or balanced.

Yes, the Clinton administration cut the federal workforce as well. After six months on assessment and culling over six years. It's not the same.

The government is not a business. The stakeholders are citizens, not investors. Profit is not the objective, service is.

What can I do to fight this administrative coup? If you look, there are people resisting at every level. Blockades of freeways. American Bar Association urging an end to...

Take action.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Joe Rogan is a psyop.
