The deporter in Chief

[neurosis]

ICE was cool when Saint Obama was CIC

Was that a pun?  I feel like that was a pun.

No the video I posted was of a CNN ride along of ICE making raids in Chicago arresting evildoers.
The tone of the video was the usual slobbering love affair tripe we got for 8 frickin' years when Obama
was President.

[neurosis]

No

I was just joking.

They went to the wrong address and arrested the wrong guy.

I'm beginning to see why they started wearing masks.

Or the guy in Oregon who had the same name as a guy they were looking for, had a work permit and a visa pending.  Snatched him up after breaking the window of his truck, and spirited him off to Texas anyway.  And they continued to encourage him to self deport even after they knew they had the wrong guy.

Can you say "extraordinary rendition"?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?  Jeff?  I knew you could.

Was that a pun?  I feel like that was a pun.

But now, because of global warming, ICE is definitely not cool.

So, ICE has more than doubled in size in a year.

And this is how they're doing it.

(if article behind paywall, here is summary)

And then they train them to violate the law, using administrative warrants outside of the bounds of their limitations.
Brilliant.

Speaking of "Global Warming"

It's pretty easy to look up ocean level.  Or at least it used to be?  lol.  Didn't Trump make his best efforts to defund NOAA?

C'mon man - get to grips with localised flooding - "elites" are exempt!

[neurosis]

Are they right?  It seems like they are?

[Smit]

Are they right?  It seems like they are?

Well, let's see.

It used to be the 2A was about protecting people from tyrannical government.

Now that tyrannical government has sent masked secret police into the cities breaking down doors without proper warrants, arresting people because they're brown, seizing kids from school and using them for hostages, and shooting middle age moms in the street, etc, etc, the 2A guys are nowhere to be found and nobody (on the right) wants to talk about tyrannical government any more.

So yeah, the evidence is they are correct.

A climate model issued by the Biden-Harris administration determined that Point Dume State Beach, the beach a short walk from Harris's new property, would be severely damaged by sea level rise even under the model's most modest projections. The Trump administration discontinued that model in June 2025.

Orange guy fixed it.  She's got nothing to worry about.
