In ICE? Well I’m not surprised.

I do not have enough information. What I have seen in the media I consume makes me think they have become political, not merely a law enforcement organization. But that may be a biased view. Also, I don’t know about the gestapo in depth. I think they were much worse.

Then present you evidence before a court

I know this sounds mild to some ears but Trump is not civil. His crude, disparaging remarks could be modified to civility. And civilization is dependent on civility. Or β€œhave you no shame”.

The White House press secretary shall retain day-to-day discretion to determine composition of the pool. β€œThis is necessary to ensure that the president’s message reaches targeted audiences….”-
What are β€œtargeted audiences”? MAGA only?

I was never a big fan and I stopped watching Bill Maher a while ago. But now I am calling for a boycott of his show. His attempt to normalize a Trump as likable guy is highly disingenuous. We all knew he’s great at manipulating a situation. That Maher thinks he saw the β€œreal” guy is sad.

I have it on good authority from a certified Nazi that he’s β€œa moron”.

But it’s the most business friendly administration in history. That’s what Ackerman said. How the heck can he spend all that money.

So has Wall Street factored in the fact that 1) this was announced on Truth Social not a press release (is it true?) 2) it’s actually worse with China now and 3) what happens in 90 days? Can we assume that, when they figure that out, it’ll swing 2,000 points down again?

Will it monitor the Proud Boys, the 2 percenters, the Nazis, and the Trump cabinet?

Ahh. Your bet would be wrong. But I see your ego has the best of you. I prefer to end this.

You have no idea who I am. I was the president of our local SDS. I was protesting and more before you were born. You are just an angry person who is ineffective at changing anything. I’ve been where you seem to be and know what you feel. But screening at the people who are on your side is fucked up

Can’t wait to get out my tiny screwdriver!

Come on now. I wasn’t trying to criticize you. Of course I can believe 2 non-contradictory things at once. I’m merely pointing out that your criticism of people who are just becoming woke doesn’t help anyone, unless it makes you feel better.

So you want them to stop protesting? Or are you glad that they just realized it.

It means that if you eat your cake, you will no longer have your cake. So yes! Stop just looking at it and eat it. Goes for money too.

Hi. I teach ultrasound and have been doing it for 50yrs (yes 50). Most experienced techs know exactly what they are looking at and have been taught to recognize pathology. By practice standards, they are allowed to reveal normal results if they feel it would reduce patient anxiety.

Are you saying they are woke?

Well most maps I’ve seen will put indigenous peoples β€œreservations” on them. Unless, of course, if you’re looking for original territories then the entire continent is indigenous territory.

I’m new to this. How does it work and what is the purpose?

Yes. And I demand that Elon send me $1 million dollars a day. Think any of this will happen?

Yikes. Trump just increased the cost of my medications. So much lowering of inflation and making America affordable again.

It’s obsessive to a fault. It may be technically perfect but it’s only for musicians to listen to. Otherwise, huh?

People are complicated. His music was undeniably good. But this thread is pointing out that gun violence and a murder was committed. Just about no one should be murdered.

A chilling thought

Well that’s fine and I agree with it generally except the part about the rich controlling everything. They don’t control what’s in my head or heart.
