  1. Dude, you can watch the video and he says "I am Senator Padilla" well before they frogmarched him out of the room. This whole administration is one long publicity stunt. Including "immigration enforcement." And whether congressmen, or any other politicians are low-grade grifters, Trump out-grifts them all by massive margins.
  2. Not overruled. No decision at all on the merits. Rather, an "administrative stay," which means give us a sec to hear some arguments, and hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
  3. Sort of by the rules. There's offensive asylum, wherein you come here seeking asylum and there's defensive asylum, where you are apprehended and raise asylum as a defense to removal. Apparently, one cannot be removed while a removal case remains pending. So, the government dismisses the removal case and, voila, you are removed.
  4. Unfortunately, seven partners is probably well within normal attrition rates among big firms.
  5. I'm a little more old school.
  6. trumpforking.com points to trumpswag.com And misspells "America" on the landing page.
  7. Truly amazing that a "conservative," even if not a Trump supporter, would use the word "grifter" unironically to refer to anyone outside the administration.
  8. It's as if he didn't even watch the video. Yeah, you can call what Padilla did performative. But the speech he interrupted was performative as hell by a Secretary who is performative as hell. At some point, you gotta fight fire with fire. Since when are we throwing the monkeys out of the circus?
  9. Trump pulled out of the agreement for no other reason than Obama did it. Granted, it was a less-than-perfect deal, so subject to criticism, which gave Trump some cover.
  10. But, again, we're not trying to reach the MAGAts. They're irretrievable. There are some, though, that are more middle of the road but still susceptible to propaganda. For us upper-middle allies, I think it's important to present that image.
  11. Well, it does seem that the earth is a mighty powerful filter and decontaminator, at times. My favorite part is the immunity from suit that water producers get. More incentives to do the right thing in the first fucking place.
  12. So that whole Tceh Matador Club thing made me lose some respect for Glasco, who I'd come around to thinking was a pretty good dude and coach. I guess he's not precisely responsible for the Tceh bagmen, but still. I guess I'm not gonna be too hard on a coach that uses a lot of transfers, particularly at a place like ULL, which isn't exactly anyone's destination school, even a softballer. Tech is in a bit of the same boat.
  13. Kinda nuts that those only lasted less than eight years.
  14. It appears that the august Senator was slightly out of order in not holding his questions. I didn't see anyone asking him to hold his questions until the appropriate time. Which would have been the non-authoritarian response. Even Obergruppenfuhrer Tim O'Hare does that. I did see the goon squad immediately attempt to remove him, at which point he most certainly did identify himself, if not before. Compare and contrast the clownshow Congress critters showing up to "oversee" 1/6 "political prisoners" with democrats challenging the regime at immigration detention centers. Violent goon squads are the new normal.
  15. You have a shitass little press conference in a small office, by the most performative (and that's really saying something) member of Trump's cabinet. So, if he was disruptive, that might be grounds for removal, maybe. We can't tell what he was doing, at least in any video I have seen. But, to be wrestled to the ground and cuffed, for disrupting a shitass little PC by a shitass little Secretary, is, in itself performative. And authoritarian.
  16. One might think Israel was a tad worried about our OPSEC. They might have sought our approval, and even assistance, but they might have also kept the deets under wraps.
  17. Do note that that is from a Federal Defender's office, not some bizarro Trumpian lawyer. Doubt it will work, but it might.
  18. We all get your distaste for neocons. And your apparent love for Tulsi because she ostensibly isn't one (frankly I don't think she's really anything except malleable). And it's certainly not as if Trump or his administration is actually anti-neocon. He's a dumbass populist isolationist, with the key word being populist. As soon as it becomes popular (especially with fundagelical or Jewish donor) to do some neocon war-waging, he'll be right on it. I think there's one reason he's not fully and publicly on-board with this and that's all the shit-talking he's done about Biden's wars and whatnot. As soon as he thinks it's more advantageous to openly support this, he'll do so.
  19. But Tulsi warned us . . . . That political elites like her and her boss would let this happen.
  20. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/11/texas-tarrant-county-tim-ohare-far-right/ Class of 1991. 🤬 One irony is the piece of shit is a PI lawyer.
  21. There aren't any Russians And there ain't no Yanks Just corporate criminals Playing with tanks
  22. Yeah, demagoguery is a form of leadership, and often very effective.
  23. Id wager that huge chunks of most all audio gear is made in China. Maybe not some of the ultra-boutique stuff.
  24. Yeah, it was an horrendous era for everyone except the rich. I suppose it is too nuanced, but when Trump started talking about this Golden Age, it seemed to me that that should be pointed out relentlessly.
