A reminder that the Constitution was written on the foundational premise that it would be implemented by a political class that was, to a fault, violently protective of their own individual standing and power. The idea that congressmen would surrender their power to the president was unthinkable.

A reminder that the beloved American Constitution is absolute shite or this wouldn't be possible. Ditto the revered 'Founding Fathers' who wrote such a flawed and dangerous document, just hopeless twats.

Reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

My actual opinion of the videos of ICE grabbing people out of their own properties are unprintable

Almost like they need to be abolished to live in a free society!

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The trig of converting a bearing and elevation at one ground station to n-many others isn’t that involved, and a unit that could standby for a month would be more than adequate dropped by drone onto random rooftops

[CHAIRMAN] @arrdem.com · 15h

A thing I’ve been wondering about for a while is what the unit cost of a pan tilt servo system with a laser, a solar panel, a packet radio receiver and a GPS receiver would be. Ten or so dropped onto rooftops and coordinated to low angular precision could function as an area denial group.

It is incredibly clear that Stephen Miller has decided this guy must be tortured, and nothing else will suffice, otherwise the Trump administration looks weak.

Dude is a literal war criminal.

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

Was reminded by my aunt today that my father is a literal chemtrails believer and if I never have to explain my relationship to my family to anyone ever again it’ll happen too soon. So over the disbelief and or judgement I get for being evasive about not really talking to the folks.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Overdue bed cleaning should also help quite a bit

[CHAIRMAN] @arrdem.com · 17h

Don’t love adding half an hour to some print runs but honestly it’s not bad and I can always handle that in software or mod the printer cases to increase the insulation some. Projects for later. The automated nozzle cleaning I got going last night should do a lot for reliability
