I wonder how long your average violent ICE agent would last scanning paperwork at a TSA booth. It’d probably crush their spirit in a matter of days. On first thought, I like this plan. Traumatize them by forcing them to be the boring bureaucracy they hate.
There’s a fun term for that: Officer-Created Jeopardy. They’ve been doing it for so long and so often that it has a name.
Holy shit, it’s real. It really shouldn’t surprise me.
I really liked the Maruman sample I got, but I loved the Tomoe River paper. Takes forever to dry with any ink but it really brings out the shade, sheen, and shimmer. Maruman was great for taking notes every day. It was very… stable is the only word I can think of. It behaved fantastically. Cheers!
Sure but that’s not what happened. We see that an ICE agent disarmed him, removed the pistol from his back waistband area while he’s on the ground getting beaten and pistol whipped on the head, AND THEN they shot him.
I think that translates to Bazinga or Bajinga? I’m a little rusty.
4! Is a factorial which means it’s 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24
I ate crickets a few times in traditional Mexican restaurants. They were great dry roasted like seasoned peanuts, but I liked them less braised or streamed. I really needed them to have the crunch to be palatable. I’d try other bugs, for sure.
Now this is a true blast from the past for me. I grew up listening to Bone Thugs.
Soccer diehards team up with Argentine retirees to protest pension reform (2025)
I guess we’ll have this to look forward to when they eventually gut the whole thing.
Adding on to that: Filled with a bunch of fearful America hating traitors. Afraid of slavery being abolished and hating America for even considering not expanding slavery to the territories in process of becoming states.
Here’s some fun history: In Maryland and Virginia, reparations were paid by the federal government… to former slave owner for loss of their “property.” “Property” being freed slaves. Those recently freed people got exactly what you think they got. Nothing.
If only. That comes out to nearly all Republicans and around a third of Democrats. I could totally see 30% of Democrats being in favor of mass deportations.
First line of the article
Most U.S. adults (9 in 10 Republicans and close to half of Democrats) say they support mass deportations of immigrants living in the country illegally
You gotta remember that the “They’re taking our jobs” and “They’re getting our tax money” propaganda has been pervasive in America for decades. And they don’t, actively or passively, want to know about the realities of the lives of undocumented immigrants in the US. They don’t want to read the studies or know the data. Feelings don’t care about the facts.
That’s exactly what I’m expecting. They’ll just make a whole lotta new things illegal and jailable then apply the laws in a specific way such that only “particular peoples” are incarcerated and used as prison slaves. We saw this in post-Reconstruction South, during Jim Crow, and over the course of the War on Drugs. My favorite was suddenly people just standing on sidewalks being arrested, charged, and convicted as vagrants then being forced to do legally allowed slave labor for the state under threat of punishment (beatings, torture, solitary confinement). America said “We’re banning slavery (except for this one case)” then immediately said “Let’s increase the number of people who can be exceptions.” This is a re-run. Or better yet, a remake of an old movie or show.
I’m fleeing Texas in the next couple of months because of this and possibly getting caught up in mass deportations even though I’m a citizen. I’m Hispanic, my wife is white. I’m leaving my wife behind because she doesn’t want to go. All I can think is ‘Thank goodness we don’t have kids.’ I’m so lucky I’ve got friends and family in freedom loving states and I feel for those who don’t.
Just you wait, they’ll follow a playbook that has been used for a long time. First they’re gonna say that the official death toll, around 46,000 identified people, is incorrect. ‘Many of them were Hamas’ or ‘Hamas is inflating the death count.’
Once they realize the evidence overwhelmingly shows that the official death toll is an undercount, they’re going to say it’s not more than the official death toll, it can’t be more than the identified deaths. ‘It can’t be more than 46,000, there’s no evidence that it’s more than those already counted’ or ‘I won’t believe a higher number without a name and a body.’
Then, once they can’t away from the higher estimate, they’ll switch to exclusively justifying it. ‘It doesn’t matter, they all deserved it for supporting Hamas.’
and reinstated it soon after

State senator Kevin Sparks called the district’s Bible ban “misguided” in a 19 December post on Instagram. “The Bible is not educationally unsuitable, sexually explicit, or pervasively vulgar, making its removal legally and morally indefensible. At a time when students seek guidance, the Bible provides a vital moral framework.”
Well that’s a Texas sized load of horse shit if I ever saw one. It’s a book that prominently features child murder, sexual assault, incest, misogyny, mutilation and torture, genocide, and on and on and on. If the rules were properly and equally enforced, there’d only be math, chemistry, and physics books.
Although, it’d be absolutely hilarious if someone were to drop in some leftist writings and they were forced to keep books on unionizing and its benefits, unifying against the rich and collective action, and critiques of capitalism for not fitting the criteria of books that should be banned. Ahhh well, I’m sure they’d say such books are obscene and inappropriate and promptly ban them.
It’s also good with God since finishing is what angers them. It probably doesn’t matter how many people are involved either so long as no one finishes.
