discolé monade Posted June 12 Posted June 12 civil unrest is absolutely on the menu at this point. this is so unexcusable. fuck ANY marine that thinks this is why they signed up. IF this had happened *in my day, i would have taken the pg. 11 and stayed on desk duty for the 90. Spoiler and LOL in my day.....yeah yeah make fun. XD 1 3 Quote
discolé monade Posted June 12 Posted June 12 also: “If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question … you can only imagine what they’re doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers,” Padilla said. 4 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted June 12 Posted June 12 (edited) They're really getting carried away now. First they arrest a democratic mayor (without filing any charges against him later on), a congresswoman (who they did file charges against), and now they treat a senator like this. Oh and then there's saying governor Newsom should be arrested for the crime of *gasp* being elected. This is just plain pathetic. The house speaker of course treating Padilla, the victim here, like he was somehow at fault saying he should maybe be censured. Sigh. And Noem is just flat out lying saying he didn't identify himself, when there's tape showing he very clearly did. There's just no bottom they won't sink to.

discolé monade Posted June 12 Posted June 12 and finally, this one actually hits right here. Trump administration tells migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela their legal status is terminated claxton chicken has a work program with 'guest workers' from haiti. i believe it's strictly those that came over because of the multiple weather beatings the island took over the years (?) and those that came alone seeking asylum for the hoardes of gangs (?). the plant has built 3-2 family homes, (they've been slowing the pace since 47 got back in), for these 'guest workers' from haiti. i wonder if they'll look for local labor in the extremely high unemployed sector we have. give them this housing and a ride to the plant? XD XD XD yeah...right. 2 1 1 Quote

Gives the Trump regime a tongue lashing in the process https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/12/national-guard-california-lawsuit-court-hearing-00403910 from the article A federal judge cast doubts Thursday on the legality of President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles, warning that the Trump administration’s contention that the president’s position cannot be second-guessed — even by the courts — evoked the founders’ fear of a monarchy. “That’s not where we live. We live in response to a monarch. This country was founded in response to a monarch,” U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said during an emergency court hearing on a lawsuit filed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. “The Constitution is a document of limitations.” Edited June 13 by 1pooh4u 5 Quote

The moment that ratio changes, retreating on their part starts to become the higher priority. And just for fun, today I learned that in chimpanzee society, if one chimp is caught hoarding more resources than they need, the other chimps in the troop will beat him to death publicly and eat his corpse in front of everyone. 2 Quote

XD XD XD yeah...right. Special needs people Seriously, this is my honest guess It's based on history, mainly the incident around Atalissa, Iowa https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/05/01/abused-disabled-iowa-plant-workers-awarded-240m/2126651/ There is also a short film about it on youtube called "the boys of Atalissa" the TL:DR (I haven't watched the video since the beginning of the semester, so it's not going to be 100% accurate) -during WWII there was a shortage of workers. They passed a law that allowed people from Mexico to cross the border for work and then return, daily -Sometime around in the 50's-60's they repealed this law and they don't come out and say it, but farmers were missing their cheap labor -One guy hired a bunch of special needs people with the promise they would receive pay and be able to live on his farm, eventually retiring there. Their food and rent would be taken out of their checks (everyone can see where this is going, right?) -They shipped some to Atalissa, Iowa where they were supposedly treated well at first -Eventually new people took over the house they were staying at, and it went downhill -One finally retired and his sister found out he only had about $40-70 in savings, she called some people and the house was raided -they were found basically living in filth. Everything was covered in mold, there was feces on the floor 3 2 Quote
1pooh4u Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Trump strips protected status from Haitians Venezuelans and Cubans.

The stupidest and ultimately fatal things he's done is nominating idiots to do work they're not qualified to do. Magicians put a ton of time and effort into their illusions - one of the things I like about Penn and Teller's: Fool Us is that even though they're almost never fooled, they both show appreciation for the effort burgeoning talent magicians put into their acts. As all we all watch the political world, we can see the lack of effort that the likes of Noem, Hegsreth, Patel, and Bessent put into the policies they implement. Musk was likewise exposed as a fraud because the inattention to detail he put into his DOGE endeavors refuted the image he had created for himself while highlighting the similar poor workmanship in his new cars. More than just lacking knowledge, there is a fundamental lack of earnestness that permeates everything Trump touches and, perhaps not surprisingly, that's why Terry Moran's comment on Stephen Miller is so important. That man is a ghoul, but, as Moran pointed out, he believes in what he's doing. We're in a transitional phase with Trump and his monstrosity. The initial shock-and-awe approach was meant to be an opening salvo. He wanted his mindless flunkies to see that he had the power to implement his agenda and he had enough backing from the courts to suggest that his illegal actions could still work if his team believed in the common cause. That was only meant to give his fledgling demons the space to put their organizational skills to use and get the base mobilized to do their bidding. We're at the point where it's becoming clear that Trump's lieutenants aren't up to the task, and his bombastic tactics are going to start having diminishing returns. It's also no coincidence that this is all happening before the senate vote on his Big Beautiful Cluster-Fuck - one last show of strength as it were. Noem strong arming Sen Padilla might not have any impact on the vote itself, but it is emblematic of the tenuous relationship Trump has with the legislature. If the bill does not survive the Senate vote and has to go back to Congress, we'll start to see Trump's power unravel. 5 Quote

tsar4 Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Drove past a house that had been flying a Trump flag, it's been replaced with a Smiley flag. Started thinking about all the houses I pass that had left up Trump placards on their lawns well after the election, those have disappeared too. Either people are waking up (hopefully) or the city stepped in and made them take them down. 3 Quote
