I largely agree. Joel’s just gonna stand pat while Jackson Hole is under siege. Even after hes shot in the legs, shes arm length and monologues.
I do think he had some reasons to take it, but its a stretch. Ellie putsing around is also unlikely. She’d already showed high level (yet cocky) clearing skills. She has the element of surprise and somehow gets detected by supersoldier who was watching the torture.Not really out of character for Joel to stand down to protect Dina. We saw him do the same thing in S1 when they first got surrounded by the Jackson Hole crew on horseback and they brought out the dog. He even broke down telling Tommy he was paralyzed with fear and losing his edge. Once he realized they were from Salt Lake, he knew he couldn't talk his way out of it without revealing the Firefly plan and putting Ellie at risk. At least that's my read.

Only being a 2 seater makes this a problem for me and most people.
Find a way to make it a reliable 5 person SUV or truck for $20k and I'd get one. But I'm in the probably very small minority that doesn't care about vehicles for anything but utility.
From the article:
QuoteNeed room for more than two passengers? Slate has an SUV upgrade kit that will bolt onto the back of the truck, adding extra rollover crash protection and rear seats with seat belts to match, all in a package that’s easy to install at home.

There's understandably been a ton of focus on the El Salvador deportations, but all this noise about college students getting yanked out of SEVIS is nuts. The transcripts from these court cases where no one can explain what any of this means is wild.
News coming out this morning that maybe the SEVIS terminations are getting rolled back.

House Democrats are asking for answers from law firms who made deals with Trump and raising questions about whether they've violated bribery and racketeering laws.
QuoteWhile we do not know all of the particular facts about the circumstances of the Paul Weiss agreement with President Trump, this agreement on the surface appears to have been struck in order to induce President Trump to revoke the March 14, 2025, Executive Order targeting Paul Weiss. If this is the case, Paul Weiss’ settlement raises a number of concerns, including potential violations of federal and state statutes, as well as several Rules of Professional Conduct, including the below:
Potential Federal Law Violations1. 18 U.S.C. § 201(b)(1): The Paul Weiss agreement could potentially implicate this
federal anti-bribery statute, which prohibits anyone, under threat of both criminal and
civil liability, from corruptly offering and promising something of value to public
officials with the intent to influence their official acts.
2. 18 U.S.C. § 1951: The Hobbs Act prohibits obstruction, delay, or affecting commerce
by extortion under color of official right. By participating in this arrangement,
performance under the Paul Weiss agreement may be argued to constitute the aiding,
abetting, and/or conspiracy with officials in the commission of these offenses, as
established in precedents such as United States v. Torcasio, 959 F.2d 503, 505-506
(4th Cir. 1992); United States v. Spitler, 800 F.2d 1267, 1276-79 (4th Cir. 1986); and
United States v. Wright, 797 F.2d 245 (5th Cir. 1986).
3. 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341/1343, 1346, 1349: These statutes prohibit schemes to defraud the
public of the honest services of public officials using mail and wire communications.
The Paul Weiss agreement may be argued to constitute such a scheme involving
bribery, as defined by the Supreme Court in Skilling v. United States, 561 U.S. 358
(2010).
4. 18 U.S.C. § 1962: The RICO statute prohibits participation in an enterprise engaged
in a pattern of racketeering activity. It may be argued that the Paul Weiss agreement,
which involves Paul Weiss, its partners, the President, and other executive officials
may constitute an association-in-fact enterprise engaged in predicate offenses
including bribery.
Potential State Law ViolationsPaul Weiss’ headquarters are in New York, with other offices in Washington, D.C.,
California, and Delaware, as well as several international offices. Paul Weiss’ performance under
the Paul Weiss agreement may violate New York Penal Law § 200.03, which prohibits offering
or agreeing to confer benefits valued over $5,000 on a public servant with the understanding that
such public servant’s actions will be influenced thereby. There are presumably comparable laws
in the other states in which Paul Weiss has a significant presence.-

Can media stop using “deported”? When someone is deported they get back to their country of origin and are free. They aren’t sent to a completely different country and put in a slave labor prison indefinitely with no apparent ability to challenge or even limit their time in prison.
Edited to add that this is only the second person we’re hearing about. How many others? I believe I read 280 or so individuals were sent to CECOT but we only have names for 237. There was at least one individual swept up and now there’s no record of where he is or even if he’s alive. We’ve already heard about multiple US Citizens being detained. This is the grossest shit our country has done since Japanese internment
There are over 100 men who were sent to CECOT outside the AEA authority. They were sent there, according to DHS, under typical INA processes but there is no clear legal basis for holding them in El Salvador.
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-the-fight-to-return-the-other-men-trump-sent-to-cecot
From the article, here's one guy who agreed to go back to Venezuela and withdrew his asylum claim, but not he's sitting in a prison camp.
QuoteMiguel entered the United States in 2021, Gloria told TPM. He’s had a few run-ins with the law: in 2023, he was charged in Pennsylvania with retail theft. The New York Post called Vaamondes Barrios a “migrant squatter” in a story last year after he was arrested at a building in the Bronx while police were investigating a report of a man with a gun; a weapons possession charge was later dropped.
In some ways, he exemplifies how the administration’s plan to indefinitely confine people in a Salvadoran detention camp flattens the complexity of each case. Miguel Vaamondes Barrios had agreed to be removed to Venezuela, per documents reviewed by TPM, and agreed to withdraw an asylum claim.
Because the government sent him to CECOT, there remains an open question about whose custody he is in and who can secure his release. Gloria Vaamondes Barrios has sought legal counsel, but is proceeding pro se in a habeas lawsuit she brought in Brooklyn federal court on March 31.

A second judge has ordered the Trump administration to return a second man from El Salvador who was blocked from deportation for different reasons (it violated a prior court settlement).

And in other news, maybe they're getting close to an agreement regarding Abrego Garcia? Maybe not? Who knows.

Wow, this is almost hard to believe but nothing should surprise me anymore. If I'm understanding this correctly, AFTER a restraining order was issued to ICE not to deport 3 individuals, ICE handed them over to DOD who then deported them. ICE just submitted in court tonight that DOD isn't a defendant so they didn't violate the TRO.

The lie from DHS here is especially shocking. "Yeah, we arrested this American citizen and locked him up for 10 days, but it's his fault because he told us he's from Mexico and wanted to turn himself in." Seriously, what in the ever loving fuck is that.

Missed this before my prior post. Sounds like deportees are already getting loaded onto buses after less than 24 hours notice. DHS might be trying to test the Supreme Court's definition of "reasonable".

Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
in Cloak Room
Posted
Should we be creating separate threads for every gulag, or just keep everything in one place? Current thread title doesn't really reflect our blossoming bouquet of concentration camps.
