What surprises me most about this encounter is that ICE actually backed off when they saw the guy’s proof of citizenship. It means they actually feared punishment for getting it wrong.
And I will remind everyone who has any melanin at all to get a Passport Card. That’s what this guy likely had, and it was the best $30 he ever spent. Get yours now, before they get DOGEd.
I know, I should have misspelled some words or something
I mean, if your end goal is to force Social Security to be so broken that the government has no choice but to privatize it, then it is helping…
“Can you believe these stock gurus are so woke? They are trying to make the markets identify as a bear. By Executive Order, I hereby designate that the US stock market is an eagle, forever soaring! Anyone who says the market is down will be shipped to El Salvador”
We need to convince them the only way they will be protected is to rat out their bosses. (And then, actually protect them from the brownshirts.)
Innocent until proven brown
It’s insufficient to punish “someone”, because that person is likely just a patsy, as you suggest.
What I would like to see is the judge asking the lowest person on the rung, under oath, “Who ordered this? Tell me or I’ll hold you in contempt”, and then when that person answers they ask the named person the same question, until they find someone who actually matters, and hold them in contempt until the man is returned. (And, hold them directly responsible for the condition the man is returned in).
The President may be immune from the consequences of his actions, but people serving under him are not.
He can’t do much without some additional support from Republicans.
So, all Don Bacon can do is get porky about it all.
At least they wore suits
It’s not just Fox anymore, though. If anything, the hardcore ones have migrated off of Fox onto other, more extreme platforms.
No, when the checks stop coming Conservative media will say “This is all part of Trump’s Master Plan, the woke corruption runs deep and it will take a while to fully root it all out”, and their voters will buy it (but nothing else, since they all are running out of money)…
The problem is that many Trump-supporting seniors have been told for all of their adult lives by Conservative media that government is corrupt and wasteful. So when the checks stop coming, they won’t blame their team for it, they will ask Trump to double down on the cuts until everything is fixed. They take it as axiomatic that everything wrong with government is due to bloat and waste, and good luck convincing them otherwise.
Congress won’t rein him in because they know Trump has an army of brown shirts who attacked Congress once already, and who owes Trump their freedom. Those J6 chuckleheads can openly attack Republicans with insufficient loyalty, and Trump will probably just pardon them again.
There is no process. States cannot just up and say “see ya” on their own, we fought a war over that.
If the people felt that it would be OK for a state to leave, the proper thing to do would be to pass an amendment stating a process, and then the state would do it. There would be a lot of details to hammer out: does the State get to keep Federal property (like military bases)? Does it inherit a share of the deficit? What happens to deferred US taxes on things like 401k accounts?
IMHO it would take so long to hammer that stuff out that it’s basically impossible.
Yes, you’re not wrong, but they are making actual trades.
No, those are still actual traders at the NYSE. An overwhelming amount of trades are electronic, but the NYSE floor is still a thing.

There are still traders who work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)—where some large companies still trade in the pit—as well as commodity and options exchanges like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).
Thanks, Obama
I’m assuming if someone had $5m just lying around to buy citizenship, their income is well beyond the $130k exemption
Errant, schmerrant. Trump is hanging out with Crypto Bros now; they know all about how to manipulate a market.
