"Persons being deported may be sent to countries other than their country of origin."

That is some deeply dystopian shit.
Lol they released this movie in 2016.

It feels like "a special circle of hell" doesn't even come close to covering this. And that goes for anyone who even hems and haws about the details.
"School district officials in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, say their sense of security is shaken and their hearts shattered after four students from the district have recently been taken by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

Remember when "Voted for the Iraq War" was a red line we wouldn't allow Dems to weasel out of and it weeded out at least a meaningful portion of our worst liberal pols? This is that times 1,000,000

Not sure who needs to hear this but the reason EVERYONE including non-citizens have fundamental constitutional rights is specifically because if you start excluding people then the govt can just ignore EVERYONE'S rights and say they didn't know who was who in the aftermath.

This isn't complicated.

The thing about this approach is not only is it out of touch with the hellscape we're living through but even if Ds did manage to win majorities running on it they have proven over DECADES that there is nothing they can substantially do about these issues so it'll just blow up on their face in 2028
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

My only argument would be that if those playoff odds were more like 60/40 (because let's be real) then it doesn't take many years before that compounds to a substantial advantage
People replying to this with “why not just give them the World Series now?”

Because the difference between a good team and a great team is pretty small in a random set of 162 games and also they have to go through multiple rounds of basically 50/50 playoffs?
I have a hard time hating the Dodgers for doing an A+ job building their business and team and then paying their players a lot. I certainly don’t think it’s a good reason to keep players from getting paid as much as they can get.

I don't feel bad for any of these assholes, but it must be really sad to make being a federal agent your whole identity only for the worst people in the world to come along and let every mall cop reject who has ever jerked off to the idea of having a badge be given a $75k bonus to shit on your job
“I’m embarrassed,” one former ICE agent with more than 25 years of experience told TIME. “The majority of my colleagues feel the same way. It’s an insult to us, because we did it the right way to see what they’re doing now.”

If you could actually nail an ideal endgame for Trump, it would be "The guy who gets to set interest rates whenever he wants." He has never been hornier for any teenager like he has been at the fantasy of lording interest rates over his circle of real estate ghouls. Contra Code shit for him.

Why are younger generations so dead set on reversing DECADES of advancements in lav mic technology? We have perfected this so you never have to see a microphone again and the audio is perfect but now we seem to be actively making them bigger and clunkier?

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

I'm always seeing old videos of Zach de la Rocha or Chris Cornell just absolutely burning down the sky with the greatest vocals of all time and then here comes Tom Morello like "Hey what if after that I go all SQUUEEEEEZIPZIPZIPSQUIPSQUIOZEEEEE" and apparently no one ever told him not to do that.

At a Coldplay concert in July, Kristin Cabot appeared on the Jumbotron in the arms of her boss. Cabot retreated, trying to make things right with the people who mattered most. Now, for first time since that viral moment, Cabot is sharing her side of the story. trib.al/I8tWdU4

By any political metric Gavin Newsome is defintionally POISON. NOBODY likes him. I mean he has like the weird Eric Adams constituency but that doesn't play nationally

Wait was the all hands on deck announcement just an update on the fucking ballroom?

I can't do this anymore. I seriously can't...

Oh the Democrats don't have a better white knight than Gavin fucking Newsome? Well figure it the fuck out you feckless goddam losers. This is a YOU problem. 350 million people to choose from.

Trying to envision the policy platform of a 2028 Gavin Newsome campaign and it doesn't look much different than "Does Qatar have an even bigger plane that I can have?"

I guess gay marriage wouldn't be IMMEDIATELY outlawed but you can bet it would be means tested.

Granted I've been drinking a bit, but I might actually vote for JD Vance over Gavin Newsome. Do with that what you will, DNC.

I don't think it's just some personal trivia that this guy was married to one of the most vapid purveyors of MAGA propaganda ever. He's been a power hungry toad since he came out of the womb, he surrounds himself with the same types of people, and he sucks shit. Burn his shit down.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

I swear to fucking God this asshole is going to look you dead in the eye and ask you to make him the Democratic presidential nominee

Punt his ass straight to hell

"He is sad because of things that have not been explained.

An Oscar Meyer Weinermobile drives past him.

He smiles."

I dare you to compose a better template for literally any story ever told. It has absolutely everything. I could apply this to anything.
