I am....and I'm indulging in the devil's lettuce more liberally than before. It helps me cope. I'm still a lightweight, but that will come in helpful when prices go batshit crazy.
Good luck with that you evil POS. They will not follow illegal orders. Their oaths are to the constitution not some 3rd grade level mentality, wannabe dictator.
This point is a big remedy to the rampant doomerism. The military are taught to self organize and execute to adapt to fluidity in combat, they are well capable of refusing unlawful orders. This isn't the military dictators are used to. See Russia's inability to adapt in Ukraine due to strict COC
And how much does anyone bet the tangerine turd tries to use the 13th Amendment to turn them into slaves to take Americans jobs to help out his rich buddies.
The Trumpified GOP will likely roll over on this + everything the criminal despot Trump & his techno-nazi/Christian Nationalist/alt-right oligarchs want to do.
1/3) Not much we can do to stop this now. The voting is over. Current US immigration policy will be enforced by the military.
The real question becomes what limits will this "national emergency" obey, if any?
3/3) But it is also possible that a police state endures, with each person required to show "proof of citizenship" to vote, to own property, to walk the streets, to travel, to work, to get married, to be "free".
We can wait and see, but my money is on the enduring police state at this point (sadly)
German citizens had to carry their paperwork everywhere. If they lived in cities, they needed authorization to travel between districts. We have the paperwork hubby's parents needed to go to work and back home during WWII.
What a great way to destroy one of the best economies in the world, decrease the labor pool, jack up inflation, send the national debt into orbit, and violate several laws all at once.
Muskmelon already said that in order to achieve his goal of "balancing the budget," he'd have to crash the economy, leading to suffering for tens of millions of middle and lower class people. He's okay with their pain -- it won't affect him.
Absolutely insane, there are so many more serious issues to take care of it, and he will waste taxpayers' money on terrorizing hard-working immigrants.
So we spend trillions to remove 10 million mostly tax paying workers who are doing jobs that no American will do? How can anyone think this is a good idea?
Trus story. My mother a green carded American for 40yrs was denied entry back into the US from Barbados. It took her US husband a month to get it fixed. She was 80 at the time
My friend is a white Englishman, who has lived in Canada for 20 years and still has problems at the border when he leaves and comes back and his paperwork is fine. Immigration can be racist, but it’s also a bureaucracy and also often incompetent.
LOL, LOL I could tell you endless stories of being profiled in both directions and I am the epitome of a WASP. It got so annoying I just stopped going south of the border.
I see. So first there comes the military rounding people up. And then the camps to put them in. What is next? Gas chambers and crematoriums? I read that Miller says the denaturalization process has been "turbocharged". That means they are not just taking undocumented people.
Yet I was assured the tios on The Eastside of The Los Angeles River voted for him to make gas cheaper for their Ford F150s, and their family won't be included in the mass deportations, because they're one of the good ones.
If you have a Spanish-sounding or Arabic-sounding name, it would be a good idea for you to carry your US passport with you whenever you leave home. There is no guarantee that you won't be swept up in the coming pogrom, but it couldn't hurt.
Yes, if you're a native-born citizen, a birth certificate would help. However, if you are a naturalized citizen, it would likely just get you deported without further examination.
If only papers like yourself didn’t hold off on how the economy wasn’t so bad until AFTER the election was over, then maybe you wouldn’t have to engagement-farm like this. Unless negative engagement-farming that was the point … ?
Nobody ever associates capitalism with its child and grandchild, fascism and Nazism respectively.
Odd isn't it?
I've seen it likened to early stage dementia, with fascism being late stage too, which I thought was quite an apt comparison, if a little insensitive when taken too literally.
Isn't this part of that Project 2025 thing you r media company went to greath lengths to try and convice folks that Trump was not a part of or adopting?

Trump is testing the boundaries to see how far he can use the military to carry out his wants and evil deeds.
This puts our military on a very, very slippery slope.
