. One former top ICE official says that there’s a worryingly real possibility that the incoming agents will be seeded from “Proud Boys and other insurrectionists.
I mean … Obviously…
The few people I know at CBP dipped the fuck out already, mostly completely out of the fed workforce.
And there’s only going to be one type of person applying to work in 2025 for ICE
Whether or not they belong to one of those groups, the people applying to do this work will agree with them.
He seemed immortal, even with all his health woes
Going off memory from over a decade ago, but I think they literally studied why Ozzy was still alive back then.
He basically won the rockstar genetic lottery and had just a whole host of random mutations that mitigated the effects or at least the negative effects of a lot of drugs.
Stuff like lacking certain liver enzymes so opioids would barely produce an effect, and being really efficient at metabolizing alcohol.
I remember going to an ozzfest 20 years ago because “Ozzy might not make it to the next one”. Dude made it to 76, it’s kind of hard to be sad about this one. He legit led a full life.
It’s possible there’s multiple out there
I just at one point also wondered what the point of a petition was because I’m a jaded American
Pretty sure:
Yes, this is a legit thing the EU cares about. However that’s also why I’ve always wondered why they’re soliciting signatures outside the EU…
Didn’t it come out that the people who pushed payroll processors to force studios to censor, have been found out to be a bunch of far right religious extremists who definitely aren’t going to stop here.
I posted it a while ago to /politicalvideos
Even knowing it was a small community I thought it would take off.
But to be honest I only made it like half an hour. I’ll eventually watch all of it, but a three hour long interview is pretty intense.
I just googled it, and it’s estimated at 500 million.
So closer to a billionaire than a millionaire, without factoring in the hidden wealth because at that level tax evasion is normal.
What makes you think she cares about that?
She’s a billionaire, she cares about what personally effects her life.
Hell, she had trump on her show before she was cancelled for being a piece of shit:
Don’t forget firing employees for refusing to cross picket lines…
Ellen is a piece of shit billionaire that wants applause for existing. She’s the same as musk or even trump.
It’s not the party plan…
It’s the neoliberal’s plan because they no longer control the DNC
The best course of action is let them sit at their table and huff and puff. Maybe they’ll get dinner with Clooney again.
The worst course of action is to waste effort in a futile attempt to join the club they just invented. Even if they let rational people in, they won’t listen. We need to focus on what matters.
I kinda feel like this is giving 'em a little too much credit.
It’s not “them” it’s one man, Ken Martin.
And he chaired Minnesota for like a decade, right up until the DNC. He has a proven track record.
But believe me, if he starts to fuck up I’m gonna say he’s fucking up.
Basically, only the corrupt have any realistic chance of election nationally, which completely undermines the democratic part of our government.
If that was true then there would be zero way Mamdani would have won his primary. Sure, “it’s a mayorship” but it’s for NYC, one of the largest concentrations of wealth on the planet, there’s a reason they’ve had shit against mayors for generations.
They failed to buy the primary, that’s never really happened.
My own takeaway is to focus my attention more on local elections.
This is the big strategy of the DNC after a decade of the Victory Fund bankrupting state parties, were seeing the largest reinvestment from the DNC back to red/purple states so they can start fighting at lower levels.
The reaction to David Hogg’s actions are a good example of why I continue to be skeptical of the DNC.
Here’s what happened:
Biden’s pick for chair and the committee that runs primaries fucked up their internal election for vice chair.
Complaints were lodged that the election wasn’t by the rules, Martin kicked it to committee who put it up to a DNC wide vote of all ~400 members. The same ones who had just elected Martin and Hogg off the same ballot.
Hogg choose not to run, by every indication he would have won just like last time, this was a formality
Instead Hogg said he’s going to start a PAC.
I don’t think he ever intended to win, no one would have predicted Martin or Hogg’s wins. I wasn’t even that optimistic. I think Hogg’s original plan was to do the PAC, and that’s why he refused to run in the re-election he was assuredly going to win.
Quick edit:
Fo bonus points, Martin just ran two of those committee members who have been fucking up primaries out of the DNC. Even better, one of them was an 08 superdelegate who tried to vote Clinton after Obama already had the votes.
The old guard is gone.
We can’t squander this, we literally may never get the chance again if this doesn’t work
The neoliberal wing behind the party while this was all happening and Biden was just president is no longer in charge of the DNC.
It makes no sense to blame the current DNC for anything before February.
It’s not just a different guy at the desk, it’s the same as blaming a Dem president for what the last Republican did.
Meaning the current DNC won’t work against a candidate willing to disclose all of it. However they won’t work against any candidate in the general. That’s why MSM is desperate to convince people that change never happened. They want to depress primary turnout.
If it was the same group of people in charge, the media would be still saying the DNC is the only other option and we can’t criticize anything they do.
It’s like how the best time to buy gold is when places advertise for you to sell it, and the worst time is when they advertise for you to buy it.
Just do the opposite of what a billionaire says we should do, and things will probably work out for the rest of us.
It’s an ignorant statement, because it ignores how much has changed since the January DNC chair…
They didn’t know about that.
The comment is ignorant.
Next time ask if you don’t understand something, most of the time I’d have blocked you first instead of replying.
What an ignorant statement…
The absolute worst thing we can do is settle for a neoliberal.
Because if we do, and they win the general, they get to install cro ies in the DNC after the election.
We need AOC regardless of if she thinks she’s ready, sometimes you just gotta jump out of that plane.
Nah, they read everything about themselves, or have someone read it to them.
Then they go to the place where they literally control the narrative and respond.
FDR wanted social security to be this, and Medicare to be for everyone…
The “moderates” at the time kept telling him it had to be looked into more, and 80 years later Biden kept saying the same thing
It’s what they’ll always keep saying, it’s why we can’t keep wasting time electing them, we need people who actually want to fix shit.
We need politicians with the balls to start nationalizing things like insurance and utilities…
Both parties picking profits over people isn’t working out
Medical documentation still isn’t required, and only the direct supervisor can make a decision…
So this can be met by a supervisor saying “you still need telework, right?” Once a year.
There may be pressure from higher ups to deny telework, but this is why we have a chain of command.
Just need middle management to plant their feet for employees
If it was just working on forms they wouldn’t need to physically relocate to the actual border…
Then going to be ordered to do things that would keep most people up at night for years after.
Reminded me of the guy who volunteered for the Russian army in a technical role and moved his whole family there…
Then told her was getting not technical training and being sent to the frontline.
You kind of feel bad, but only an idiot would get into that situation in the first place.
