Psychologists should figure out how much wealth a person can have before they have thought patterns that are indistinguishable from the brain damage one gets after getting kicked in the head by a horse.
Whatever dollar amount that is, that's the most amount of money anyone should be able to have

Tom Homan straight up says it. So now he admits it. Chuck and Hakeem can't say it isn't true. So. ICE arrests US Citizens.
You can retrain that? You can body camera that? This is insanity. If they don't shut down the federal government, they want ICE to arrest US citizens.

It's hard to even explain what a disaster this is for the US economy in the short-term — as well as US innovation and industry in decades to come. Immigrants and foreign students at our universities are—as always have been—the wellspring of American invention and innovation.
New research concludes the Trump administration’s policies will reduce **legal** immigration to the United States by 33% to 50% over four years.

I think the moment I fully lost it with American elite culture was when there was a no-shit bipartisan panic attack over Colorado throwing Trump off the 2024 ballot because of this stipulation
every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove.
donald trump is not the current president right now, according to the constitution.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously.
But none of them has the balls to do it.

And when the bond market decides interest rates are going up - because of an EU boycott or higher US craziness or whatever - there isn't much the Fed can do, regardless of who's in charge. This will also drive up rates on mortgages, credit cards, small business loans, and car loans.

To understand what's happening here, you have to understand that people are framing this as "what would I do if the Nazis came back?"
Case in point: a lawyer friend told me she just quit her cushy in-house counsel job to do full time pro bono for detainees.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.
