  1. Same. I forgot where I was and jumped right in. My bad, surly.
  2. Correct. What we need is for them to start losing their jobs and off the charts inflation. Hitting them from every direction.
  3. Do you think they would cheer for inflationary monetary policy given the state of play wrt tariffs and the current CPI numbers/projections?
  4. Deleted.
  5. Why are you just assuming that a good robust study is the objective of the initiative?
  6. Literally nobody gets confined to PRISON while waiting for their trial. They sometimes remain in jail, but not prison. Not that I give a shit, but people yelling with such an attitude while getting basic shit wrong just gets me. That and the whole idea of this group of course.
  7. Where does it say “child trafficking” or “child/children”. PSA for some folks: Human trafficking is a general description of the exploitation of humans for the benefit of another. Doesn’t mean kids, doesn’t mean just transporting and doesn’t mean sex stuff necessarily. They stated that they suspected him of human trafficking, seemingly for transporting unpaid, coerced laborers to some job site, etc. * of course, the stated basis for that belief is simply a bunch of dudes with no ID in a car going far to work somewhere. That’s not much of a smoking gun.
  8. Did you ever explain the “child trafficking” allegation you just threw out there initially? I haven’t even seen that asserted by the WH or right wing propagandists.
  9. Cool. I was specifically replying to the last sentence of Twice’s post, giving an example of something that I think a lot of people would not ordinarily think likely to occur…since it hasn’t before. The only conflating was in your brain.
  10. On a related note, this John Oliver segment on immigration court from 7 years ago is just rage-inducing. Elementary school aged kids appearing in court with no guardian and no attorney:
  11. I have a client on an F1 student visa. He had a PENDING Class B possession of marijuana charge. He was notified last Friday that his. USA had been revoked and that he can appeal the determination in order to actually have some sort of hearing in a Federal (District, I think?) court. Not CONVICTED…just pending, which is just ridiculous.
  12. The government of El Salvador locks up people deemed to be terrorists. So, they/we called him that and so now he’s locked up forever basically. ETA: This is kinda why immigration court is important…to try and NOT send people on planes somewhere to be tortured and murdered.
  13. I mean, the DP clause says “persons” and not citizens, so it’s really not complicated. They choose not to read the worlds and admit what they mean.
  14. Because I wanted to see the freak show at fox Business trying to explain away this economic enshittening.
  15. It hit the 7% mark for the limit down futures circuit breaker huh quickly bounced back.
  16. Awesome. He’s back to the “tariff $ flowing INTO THE USA” shit, because he knows that a fuckton of Americans don’t know any better.
  17. FYI, I’ve seen several Fox News commentators laterally refer to videos of various acts of vandalism as “vicious and violent attacks”. It’s a fucking car. ETA: I’m specifically referring to vandalism of unoccupied vehicles.
  18. I think they would be subject to the blanket global 10% tariff, but yeah, nothing even remotely close to what we are doing to the EU, etc.
  19. This always cracks me up, because, as far as the actual stated purpose of tariffs, the more $ we collect simply demonstrates how those tariffs are NOT working. The purpose is to decrease import purchases, DOTARD.
  20. Edited.
  21. Episode 13 did. It disappoint. Dr. Abbott’s character and the actor’s performance has become, for some reason, my favorite currently.
  22. He might have had 2 years credit in jail already by the time he was sentenced, or close to it/
  23. That’s correct. Also, as a matter of “decency”, the past 5 or so transitions of the office have included the incoming POTUS extending that protection for adult children for 6 months, which is allowed. Trump, because he is Trump just couldn’t do that. It’s about 2 months early and the only reason to pull the details is to give his base new stuff for their spank banks.
  24. Well…yeah. He was the #1 rated passer in the country his last season here.
