Maybe. Maybe not. A lot of cops aren’t happy about Trump pardoning everyone for assaulting the Capitol police, and violating everything they’ve been trained on how they need to do things in terms of “arresting” immigrants using ICE. She’s in Wisconsin, so maybe you’re right, but I still feel like her directly upholding the law using the position she has to tell bailiffs what to do would have been a better play. If they want to ignore direct orders from a judge, at least let’s get that out there, and then we can figure out what to do at that point.

The truth is I’m just doing armchair analysis when I have no idea of the situation. That’s how I see it though.

Dugan is accused of escorting the man and his lawyer out of her courtroom through the jury door last week after learning that immigration authorities were seeking his arrest.

Lady: You’ve got bailiffs. You’ve got the entire damn police force and courthouse staff at your disposal. Send the defendant into your quarters and tell him to lock the door, wait for ICE to come in the courtroom, raise your voice tell them to leave your courtroom, find them in contempt when they don’t, and send them for three days. Tell the court staff to grab them. If they fight back, fuck it, game on, sounds good.

I’m glad she’s trying to protect the rights of her defendant, and the agents who “arrested” her should clearly be in prison. She did good, no mistake. But I think she has a lot more leverage than she was acting with if she wants to decide to protect defendants. Trying to be sneaky about it is just going to feed into their narrative. There’s a reason they cover their faces and try to snatch people quick and get out of the area. They know they’re vulnerable. Feed into that.

Oh. Yeah, I wouldn’t call those moderates anymore. Those are just nazis at this point. And yes there are way more of them then there should be.

Is that really so far off though?

Yes you fucking cretin

Notice that the one US president who actually has been building concentration camps and operating the Gestapo, shares with you a strong dislike of NATO.

I’m not sure I am hearing any of that anymore. Which moderates are you talking about?

Yeah. Smart people want to find out if there’s a problem that might impact their job before they lose it. You can be smart, or don’t, the universe doesn’t really care.

Catching strays. My apologies. The fuckage, ironically enough, will not honor borders.

This has been going on for I think roughly 10 years.

I am happy if the news wants to get concerned now about any particular aspect of our immigration system, now that the whole operation has reached overt-King-George levels of tyranny and fucked-up-ness and is starting to metastasize to engulf citizens also, but really the whole system already needed to get thrown away completely and unfucked from the ground up. Fortunately there’s approximately a 0% chance of that happening now for the forseeable future without a revolution.

Hooray.

Many of those who are still sending the emails are sending similar messages each week or are viewing them as a joke.

Seriously. Anyone who’s not taking the opportunity to entertain themselves via their emails is missing out on a chance for a rare level of workplace joy.

If it were me I would be diligently sending in something like this every week:

1. Saved $150 billion from the federal budget, I will take no further questions
2. Wasn’t woke
3. Mission to Mars planned and confirmed for 2026
4. Asked my staff every five minutes what they were working on and threatened to fire them if it wasn’t good enough
5. Executive time

this isn’t a crime that would have been prevented by the gun control measures advocated by the Democrats, since none of the proposals involve disarming the police

Just had to get that in there, you fucking donkeys.

I saw some of these guys at the protest on Saturday. Someone had a microphone and spent, no lie, about 2/3rds of the time they had the mic aiming vicious criticism at the Democrats. Not “both sides,” not the whole system (that was the remaining 1/3rd), but the Democrats specifically. I thought about making a bigger post about it but I’m not even sure what to say about it. I think there was 0 criticism at all leveled at the Trump administration or anything that they were doing.

Great job guys

Are you comfortable running a little python script to do it? I’ve done something like this for myself for exactly the same reason, I could polish it up and show you and you could use it locally for yourself.

“Oh god! Are you trying to get me demonetized? Your flag has nudity, murder, and an explicit call to violence. But you know what, Virginia? That’s kind of badass.” -CGP Gray

Yeah. This is why we have judges. A really surprisingly large amount of a judge’s job is looking at the situation and saying, more or less, “You know what? That’s a bunch of bullshit. Here’s what we’re going to do.”

That’s the whole reason there is “precedent” and then sometimes precedent gets overturned. They’re just using their, you know… judgement. There’s a whole interplay of written laws vs. what happened before vs. what should happen now, it’s not just like the judge is the CPU and then they execute the law like a program and then output a judgement.

I think he thinks women are icky and scary. Vaginas, he likes.

I’ve seen people display coffee sacks or other industrial folderol in pretty much exactly this way. I think it’s probably just random decoration.

Dude I didn’t pick this weird pedantic fight and get all upset about what Wikipedia says and what a problem it is. You did. Now that it turned out you were making it up, it’s all of a sudden weird for people to care about it. Okay.

Wait, so up there it looks like the actual truth is not “Some years later I tried again but you could no longer make changes IIRC. Just checked, info still missing.” but in fact that the exact information is already in the article.

Glad we had this talk lol. I mean it’s a pretty trivial thing to get upset about even if it were true, I can somewhat believe that some random person might have reverted your edits for bad reasons, but I am wholly unsurprised to learn that there was no grand conspiracy and the information in the article has been corrected now even though you specifically said that it wasn’t.

It strongly looks like you’re making things up lol

It is trivial to check what changes someone did or didn’t make 10 years ago on Wikipedia, if you know which page of Wikipedia it was on. Which page was it on?

What does the article mean “Juniper Networks, despite being a “Good Article”, is also mostly PR”?

It’s all part of their various horseshit attempt at making something which is pretty simple an innocuous into something that it isn’t.

Within the last few days, it looks like someone raised the issue on this guy’s page, the arbitration committee is getting in touch with him, and he’s saying he’ll get back to them. Presumably there’s a minor conflict of interest and they’ll look over the article and make sure he didn’t do anything slanty to them and then tell him to stay away from COI-like articles in the future.

There’s absolutely nothing sinister here, and they are stringing together a bunch of misleading stuff (like “mostly PR”) to make a mountain out of a molehill to discredit Wikipedia. I’ve noticed a bunch of people doing this, presumably there is some organized campaign which actually is sinister in the way they’re implying WP is, that is trying to make people think badly of them.

I am torn between “This kind of amateur-hour bullshit is why they will not succeed. If you’re going to be a properly tyrannical government you have to have your paperwork in order and your threats have to be credible threats, not just random bullshit with every email you can find put into ‘BCC’” on one hand, and on the other hand “No one says she won’t get her door kicked down and whisked away even though she didn’t do anything wrong at all, just because she’s one of the class of people who’s historically been exempt from it. They definitely will start doing that to citizens at some point, it’s just up in the air how soon it will start and how much resistance there will be.”
