IN Olden Times, a multifactor clusterfuck like this would end some careers and result in departments being reorganized. But nobody in the Trump clown car ever faces consequences.

Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."

Maybe if the Nazis had had computers, the SS would have had a lot of sloppy copy-paste fuckups in their documents, too.
This is from an economic impact analysis for a proposed ICE warehouse camp in Merrimack NH.
Did they also copy-paste the *data* from their OK analysis? Who knows?

One issue here is crank convergence, and the escalation ladder of a competitive media environment. The other is that there's no social cost to beliefs anymore, being a 9/11 truther or an anti-vaxer or a Nazi doesn't actually *mean* as much as it used to, because identity has become so cheap.

DHS is currently targeting 5,600 refugees in Minnesota as a first step in an expansive plan aimed at reviewing — and presumably restricting — the legal status of refugees admitted since the start of the Biden administration.
