Butt Cracks and Beer Bellies: Is Trump Failing on Immigration because ICE Creates Negative Spectacle? - emptywheel I suspect that a big reason Stephen Miller has turned immigration into a losing issue for Donald Trump is because Miller's goons create an endless supply of negative spectacle that goes viral and seed...

I had been out a ride and finished about 7pm. I live about 8 blocks away. I had just watched a dumbass run the light at Arsenal and Gravois who then tore ass down Nebraska.

It was a crappy car driven in a way that said "I don't give a shit about anything"

It's the inhumanity that gets me.

I would propose that Jared is donating nothing at all. He is being extremely well compensated.

I am so ok with them building their own AiSlopipedia rather than going after the existing one.

I understand that I could never be a UN diplomat. I instinctively flipped a double bird at my computer screen when I heard that.

The insanity is that Trump's retaliation is entirely extortion. If they had ever had the guts to stand up against him even once they would have kneecapped that power.

They've been outed as a company that will pay the ransom, so they will continue to face extortion.

So this isn't a case reference, but a news article about ABC taking a knee and settling?

How the hell is one company capitulating a legal argument? Whoever wrote this is not a member of the bar, and may have suffered head trauma.

What's really crazy is that this is likely just a real world flare up of a right-wing online gang war.

My guess is this is the result of someone asking one of the Patel FBI people what the phrases meant. Having no clue they shrugged and said, "probably trans stuff"

The past two days has been a stark demonstration just how far the FBI has declined in less than a year.

Opponents of Missouri redistricting push could have a secret weapon β€” a referendum The proposed map could be open to a referendum that could prevent the measure from going into effect.

There is a way for us to respond. A referendum petition. Gotta get a bunch of signatures in 90 days which is a big ask, but this would force these bags of goo to put the issues up to a statewide vote.

This is pretty clearly a shakedown. If they label this as deportation, the agents get the bounty payout. Voluntary departure they don't get any $$$. Sooo, let's get some of those $1000 forms signed.

That moment of angry disgust that flashes across his face says everything. This isn't the dawdling dementia, it is pure hatred and bigotry. Trump fucking hates everyone and only puts up with pure sycophants.

Look, his interview subject never mentioned that there were thousands of sites in the federal domain that were legitimately good, so why would the reporter ever ask that question?

So, so many incredibly skilled workers come this way. 2 reasons. 1. willingly to do work in areas/locations that posh Americans won't. 2. Will take less salary. Capitalism isn't gonna like this when they think it through.
