This is so mumped up

I think I would take my grand and free commercial flight to my actual home country asap.


It seems like these folks (to be fair, from what i understand these were convicted criminals) took a shackled flight in a shipping container to South Sudan instead. What's the angle there?

Agreed the rampant drug use and homelessness on display in MacArthur Park is very troubling

Common Ground  :thumbsup:

i thought they were there to round up dangerous violent illegal immigrants?

Quote
City leaders and community groups have long tried to address homelessness and drug use in the park about 10 blocks west of downtown Los Angeles. Workers with a St. John’s Community Health street medicine clinic that was serving homeless people at the park said that agents had pointed guns at them and instructed them to stop their work and leave on Monday.

Quote
Gregory Bovino, a Customs and Border Protection chief in Southern California, indicated Monday that the Trump administration intended to make itself seen across the city. “Better get used to us now, cause this is going to be normal very soon,” Mr. Bovino told a Fox News reporter. “We will go anywhere, anytime we want in Los Angeles.”

this is more troubling to me than homelessness and drug use, but idk.
Nothing to see here. Blood thirsty warpig Dax loves militant tactics used by domestic police forces against law abiding US citizens. BAU.

it's troubling to me that national guard troops are being deployed by the federal executive branch, going against the explicit wishes of the mayor of the city and governor of the state. to my recollection in my lifetime, i have only heard of NG troops being deployed at the request of a mayor/governor. this feels more like intimidation, and the quotes above confirm it's more about intimidation and show of force than anything at all to do with illegal immigrants. even the boot lickers in this thread can't decide if the operation was targeting homelessness, fake ID's, drug use, or illegal immigration.

of the people who both 1) are aware of the existence of the Epstein list and 2) voted for trump, 100% believed trump is on that list. it simply doesn't matter.

I think newscum is a talented public speaker/debater. However, he’s recently been trying to find common ground with the likes of Steve Bannon so I’m out on him. There’s enough good, young talent (I.e. Shapiro, Whitmer, Mayor Pete, etc.) to get behind than someone who would sell their soul like that.
Yeah finding common ground with Bannon or Cheney or whoever is what I mean by courting red america

If the Dems were hoping to never win another presidential election, wouldn't running a California-style liberal like Newsom be the best way to keep losing? He seems like the poster child for everything that Red America hates about democrats.

not saying you're wrong about Newsom, but i think Dems need to stop courting Red America and just focus on putting their energy behind a passionate progressive

I think a passionate progressive would play better in Red America than Gavin Newsom :dunno:
Yes exactly

i mean, yes?

i'm reading Dune.

i am not a reader. it's been years since i read a book for "fun." i'm about 100 pages in and loving it. taking it slow.

finished! enjoyed it quite a bit. beyond excited to watch the movie. i finally allowed myself to watch the trailer, i had shunned all Dune movie content until i finished the book.

dune 1 & 2 are both really good, i will be looking forward to your review after having read the first book. what's your approach to the rest of the book series?

I thought Michael Madsen was already dead. Now I'm wondering who I thought was him.
Michael Moore?
Oh man he's still alive

I'm sure the book is good, and The Martian was great, but if we're judging on how good does it make the movie look, that is one of the worst trailers I've ever seen
