The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

Two days out from being 3 months since this thread was started and 103 104 pages thus far. What a mad mad mad world.

 

 

Also: I noticed that Jared Kushner had commented on the development of Gaza over a year ago (since of course he's a real estate guy) and so nothing to see here, nothing to see....

What I would like to know for every undocumented person or revoked documented person arrested and sent out of the country, how many legal (voting)family members remain?

I would assume that having your spouse or parent or grandparent or close neighbor arrested and removed is going to be a major motivator in future elections.    I would love to know how many people this affects. Many of these cultures have familial relationships that are larger and those relationships closer and more intertwined than how we view our nuclear families.

They're increasing the ratio of whites to mud people. I'm guessing it's a winning move on its own if he can deport even a fair fraction of his goal. I'm also guessing many non-white immigrants will re-immigrate somewhere else. Canada may benefit from a person of color brain drain of this stinking country.

What we’ve all failed to fully comprehend is that the American electorate is immeasurably stupid. This stupidity is fueled by news-infotainment that is mindlessly consumed by millions; it’s the default tv channel. A poster upthread said foxnews was on when they got out of surgery. I see it in hotel common areas all the time.

Come Sept 2026, the infotainment will be some wag the dog caravan, fentanyl, criminal illegal immigrant bullshit to rile up the fear in the stupids’ lizard brains. And they’ll forget all about the pardons of the J6 insurrectionists, the gaza riviera, the deportations of working people. They’ve run the same playbook for decades. And it’ll work.

I might not have been clear. I wasn’t referring to the general voting populous, but to the close friends and family of the deported.

I totally agree that people who are in no danger of being deported do not emotionally give two shits about this.  At least until their Cobb Salad costs $25.

With my Bama tribe, it's always been like that engineering problem where you have to choose two good things and one bad thing. Myself included for the others. On the up side, hardly ever boring, and people at least do what they say they'll do.

As far as cutting out people, officially did that once, when a well-educated cousin morphed into a holy-roller horse-paster and was making plans to go visit and breathe all over my elderly mother mid-pandemic. 

(There is also an aunt and her brood who have taken it upon themselves to be shits to a cousin who came out, but choosing not to  talk to them anymore is something I'd do whether we had Trump, Harris, or King Charles.)

Winner of the Out-There Award is an elderly cousin who is convinced that any violence at the Edmund Pettus Bridge is due to those people not getting a proper parade permit. When she winds up for a rant, her husband kinda pats her knee and she settles down.

Family in Texas went more typically cosplay-cowboy MAGA. Throw in some dubious disability checks, crushing debt from monster trucks, never a peep of thanks for us kicking in on back taxes SO THEY WOULDN'T LOSE THE FUCKING HOUSE, and yeah, we don't build our schedule around get-togethers. There were some really cool ones, but they're mostly dead.

If you toss in an open bar of moonshine and everclear trash can punch at a family reunion, I think you got yourself the makings of a hit reality show.

Are any of the illegals that have been arrested and detainee white? Curious minds want to know. 

When is Melania getting deported?

Nah. There will not be a country, so no worry about voting. It'll be burned down.

America's biggest welfare queens about to FO. 

Also the USAID issue. They buy a shit-ton of rice, wheat and soybeans among other crops from farmers. Most of the crops are excess that will go unsold. FAFO indeed.

We are heading towards a blow up with my FIL I think.  He keeps bringing up Trump during random conversations and is starting to dabble in conspiracy theories on top of it.  My parents are good and so is the MIL at least.

We actually got my FIL's head somewhat screwed on correctly recently. He started to wake up from his haze and realize he had been tricked. Been treating him with kid gloves the last few months as a result. I just wanted everyone to know that change is in fact possible. It helped that my MIL always saw through the Trump bullshit.

So what's that look like for you in this situation?

I'm just gonna sit back and let it happen.  The have started wintering in Texas the last few years and basically taking over our lives for a couple of months.  Multiple dinners during the week along with things on the weekend.  My wife complains about it all the time, so if there is a falling out, it won't be the end of the world.

Clearing things up this morning.  Going to develop "from the river to the sea."

 

New modern homes for foreigners but meanwhile in the Hollers of WV, Ky people living in dilapidated shacks, same goes for some urban areas in our larger cities… America First! 
 

Of course most of the idiots in those areas voted for the orange trash.

From what I have seen USDA buys it, USAID distributes and oversees the contractors who do that. And China will buy those crops. Or the Saudis. The Saudis will use it to distribute as food aid.

It changes ownership when it gets to the embarkation port. So on the train in Corpus, USDA. Off the train going into a warehouse, USAID. Well it was like that.

Well, for me, I have decided to limit my exposure to this.   I was on the phone with my sister when I got a little heated.  I was not kind about how I want the future for the olds to look.  My father and mother decided to 'tune me out' and walk away.  Apparently, it was upsetting for my mother and she reached out to me.  For years, I have talked with her about the fuckery of the state of Texas and special education is and how important the DOE is to keeping it from being a total shitshow.  This is what was so frustrating.  I got a weak apology for Trump being so erratic.   I sent some citations and this seemed to all come as a surprise, including how "big balls" now has access to their most sensitive identity information (payments, bank account numbers, social security, etc.).   

From what I can tell, my father likely told her that I am probably overreacting or how since they haven't gutted it entirely yet, I shouldn't be concerned with it.   Of course they don't give a shit about how Trump and his minions have attacked other organizations and the damage they have done there or don't know.   

So far no response.
