Burn every For Profit Prison company to the ground. Even before Trump this idea seemed sick and wrong to me and led to a system of fucked up incentives.
“detention by ICE has been below what investors thought it going to be”
What kind of fucked up country

So dark — Tennessee-based @CoreCivic wants to be making even more money on ICE detentions.
“ICE was our first customer 43 years ago, and has been our largest customer for over a decade,” CoreCivic CEO Patrick Swindle said on the earnings call.

So I guess it's another instance of "a video proves ICE is lying".
BREAKING: DOJ moves to drop criminal charges in alleged shovel/broom attack in Minneapolis that led ICE to open fire. "Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit," prosecutors say. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

So it was the funny/stupid third thing
It's fun that we have to wonder if it's this or invading Mexico or some other, funny third thing.
Fundamentally my assumption on El Paso and its special security measures is pretty clear evidence the government is so understaffed that it cannot handle routine communications

Yes, prep for me was nothing like stories I've heard. It's a simple procedure to have done.
I didn't think prep was all that bad. I was more grateful to know there were no issues. My doctor said she's seeing younger and younger men coming in with colon cancer.
Just do it.
Just do it.
Please, please get a colonoscopy. The prep kind of sucks, but it's the best sleep you'll ever have. And it could save your life.

The most discredited long-running joke of an anachronistic institution in our legal system has come roaring back as one of our most important safeguards simply because it involves regular citizens getting a chance to say "no, this is bullshit."

I see the flag all the time and it's flown by the people Don mentions in the last sentence.
If the current moment has taught us anything, it is about the uselessness of libertarianism.
The image sums it up perfectly. The Gadsden flag was all out during the Obama era. How often do you see it now? Most of the principled libertarians were happy to trad their principles for Trumpism.

Just imagine if this motherfucker was at the Last Supper.
Trump: "Mike Johnson is a very religious person. He does not hide it. He'll say to me sometimes at lunch, 'Sir, may we pray.' I'll say, 'Excuse me? We're having lunch.'"

You're daily reminder ICE agents having absolutely no fucking reason to be near polling locations. It isn't a remotely plausible part of their job description.
Leavitt: “I can’t guarantee that an ICE agent won’t be around a polling location in November. I mean, that’s frankly a very silly hypothetical question. What I can tell you is I haven’t heard the president discuss any formal plans to put ICE outside of polling locations.”

Mitt Romney lost because his own party hated his guts because he was a Mormon.
Not only does nobody believe this about mistreatment of Mitt Romney, but the Obama 12 campaign went *easier* on him than some of the whisper campaigns in the primaries. We said he was an out of touch rich guy who profited from shipping jobs overseas (true!), we didn't do whisper anti-mormon stuff.
but... but... but shitting on dems all the time no matter what is cool and fun and gets you clout and IN NO WAY fostered voter apathy among left leaning folks that got trump into office again...

Off the top of my head, What is and What Should Never Be by Led Zeppelin.
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)
