Retired tax attorney, was IRS agent (International) for a few years. Childless cat lady😸. ❌👑.
“I was just following orders.”

Where have we heard that before?

Sounds like a recipe for civil war.

Say you make a bunch of rules and ICE ignores them? What next? Order the national guard to load their weapons and confront ICE?

In the USA you haven’t really made it until Trump gives you an insulting nickname and calls you a loser.

I guess nobody told them that a foreign consult is legally not US territory.

They have no right to enforce US laws in a consulate.

He sure liked it when his pals took guns to the capital. It was just a peaceful march.
January 28, 2026 at 2:28 AM
He must really love to be called “sir.” According to him, everyone he meets is constantly preceding their effusive praise by calling him “sir.”

Uh, no - Texas is a red state and the MAGA governor has already handed over the voting rolls to the feds.
January 28, 2026 at 2:13 AM
For some reason I am still surprised that these cabinet heads aren’t embarrassed to be seen as foolish, incompetent, unprincipled, casual killers, racist, sexist and/or traitorous.

I guess shamelessness is part of the reason they were picked.

Well, I’d be kind of nervous if I was him. Just because he’s been released doesn’t mean this vengeance filled regime is done trying to make his life miserable.
January 27, 2026 at 8:38 PM
The Justice Dept doesn’t have time for this kind of thing. Their hands are full going after vengeance issues, and defending lawsuits protesting other lawless actions.

This was not a case of someone displeasing Trump, ergo it is not on their radar.

State law is the only recourse in Trump world.

I imagine that the producers who funded this project viewed it as another investment in the Trump regime, and stand ready to lose most of it.

On the other hand, if the viewers don’t show up, will Trump get mad at them for making a flop?

Sad to see that America is no better than Nazi Germany.

Sounds like Colonel Klink from Hogan’s Heroes- “I see nothing!”

One of my friends and I seem to get billed regularly for urinary catheters. Our supplemental insurance knows it’s fraud and doesn’t pay it, but Medicare algorithms are too dumb to notice that we have no conditions that would warrant it.

Doubt they are Somalis doing this - out of Miami and Denver.
January 27, 2026 at 4:33 PM
Meh - this kind of thing is the easiest to fix in a few years.
January 27, 2026 at 4:26 PM
Before it was just the Dems complaining. Polls show he’s losing favor, but his advisers tell him they’re fake or skewed, and his ego believes him.

Killing a gun carrying nurse and trying to blame it on his holstered gun has aroused the gun rights group, and they are generally his supporters.

So…

If it goose steps like a duck….
January 26, 2026 at 8:25 PM
I’m surprised Noem hasn’t been fired, simply because Trump will usually get rid of people who cause problems for him.
January 26, 2026 at 8:21 PM
I keep expecting Noem to be fired. Not because Trump cares about Minnesota, but because he usually jettisons people who cause issues for him.

Keeping my fingers crossed.
January 26, 2026 at 8:16 PM
Very disappointed in him. He should be better. Hope (and expect) that the movie will be a flop.
January 26, 2026 at 4:27 PM
It would be a strange turn of events if the thing that starts real cracks forming is pissed off gun owners.

Would give me a reason to kind of like guns.
January 26, 2026 at 5:10 AM
In kindergarten I learned “sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”

Neither will whistles. Neither will a holstered gun.
January 25, 2026 at 9:24 PM
Well, it’s not like the Gestapo would have put someone on desk duty for a shooting.
January 25, 2026 at 9:18 PM
I bet the Bondi letter will be used as an exhibit in a case against ICE. It shows that the entire occupation, and all the destruction and killing, was just a political ruse to strong arm access to information for voter intimidation.
January 25, 2026 at 6:32 PM
No, it’s avoiding a trope that can be used against them.

They all agree that the entire immigration law needs to be rewritten in a thoughtful way.

If I was in charge I would abolish the ICE title. It is tainted beyond repair. But their original intended function is needed in some capacity.
January 25, 2026 at 6:27 PM
These idiots are writing the next campaign to limit gun access.

Gun rights groups must be stuck between a rock and a hard place, defending the right of law enforcement to kill vs. a peaceful citizen to carry.
