Bingo. Tell them the sweet, sweet, inflammatory lies that they need to hear. FFS, these assholes have successfully messaged for decades that he gubmint/deep state is coming to snatch you up and take you to wal-mart jails in Bluebell ice cream trucks ("NO GESTAPO IN BASTROPO!")....we just need to send the same message, built on the ACTUAL snatch-and-grabs this regime is doing right now. They said they are coming for US citizens. They will grab you on the street, in your home, in your car. They will send you to a foreign prison without even letting you call your family or lawyer. They will do it not because you've committed a crime, but just for what you think or say -- they told us that, too. The communist authoritarians are here -- they snuck in by lying to you. But you're too smart to fall for those lies now. Patriotic Americans stop evil billionaires who kidnap people - y'all are patriotic Americans, right? Protect yourselves now!

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
Brisketexan replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
Most of em voted for this shit. Fuck 'em. Fuck, laugh at them as they get EXACTLY what they voted for. They fucked the rest of us over, the least we can do is laugh at their suffering as we all go the hell in the handbasket they shoved us all into. -
Marshals. With guns. Some are loyal to the Constitution. Find them. Use them.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
Brisketexan replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
Oh....you're about to. I mean, they'll be NEW examples. Of people who voiced an opinion the Trump Regime doesn't like. But you'll get your examples. Lots of them. -
There will come a time when a shitload of regular, ordinary folks, like you, are going to have to stand between the gestapo and someone they intend to harm. Do it. Make sure someone records it. And if they take a baton to you, protect your head, but let them hit you, and let out a pained scream that belongs in a horror movie. You damage fascists by making them commit their crimes in the open, against people who obviously don't deserve it (and you know exactly what I mean: "decent white folks").

This. So say something that actually IS true: The Trump administration plans to grab YOU, shove you in a van, and have you shoved in a hole in a foreign prison, never to be seen again. If you get crossways with Elon Musk, if you say something the administration disagrees with, if you fall behind on ANY of your bills to a company that is owned by a billionaire....you are gone. Forever. Because you have no rights. What is standing between YOU and Elon Musk deciding you should rot in hell? Nothing. Not a single thing. They are coming for you. Are you going to take that lying down? That's got some truth to it. And in this climate, SOME truth is more than enough.

Oh, the rulemaking notice specifically cited Loper Bright -- it's all about Chevron deference. The administration has made plain its intent to gut every and all regulations, including ones that most people presume are baseline protections under the law. They will do so by pushing far beyond even the reach of Loper Bright to do so. If you want a world where it's legal to bulldoze....everything....to belch....whatever chemicals you want into the air and water.....basically, to do whatever you want, ESPECIALLY if you're a billionaire....well, you're getting it.

For those of you who say "but this only applies to non-citizens," let's presume you are correct. Let's presume that non-US citizens can 1) have the Trump regime unilaterally determine that they are here illegally (with no due process), 2) unilaterally determine that they are criminals/terrorists (with no due process) and 3) ship them off to a prison in a foreign country, where the Trump regime can then claim "we have no control or ability to get them back" (meaning they will never, ever get any due process, and will die in that foreign prison). You are only thinking about brown people. And we know that brown people are icky, and obviously all criminals, so they're getting what they deserve. But that list above is not exclusive to brown people. It applies to all non-citizens. ALL OF THEM. So, when my son's friends come visit us this summer, here's a scenario that is perfectly acceptable and ok, according to those of you who are chill with this. They arrive in Austin from Heathrow. An aggressive CBP agent doesn't like how they are dressed. Says they look like terrorists. Pulls them into secondary screening. They are held there for hours, after which that same agent also determines that they are indeed genuine terrorists, and are human traffickers, and gang members. Because he says so, and he is the final and only authority on the matter. They are then put on an ICE transport bus, driven to an air field, put in chains, flown to El Salvador, and tossed in the hole never to be seen again. Meanwhile, we're wasting our time downstairs at ABIA, waiting on two girls from Surrey and Manchester who have now been disappeared and will never be seen alive again. Under the "legal" framework the Trump regime has set up and says is the law, and they cannot be constrained in their actions thereunder, that is 100% an allowable outcome. Either you agree that this framework is also technically applicable to every non-American (read: every single visitor, tourist, business person, etc.) who visits the US, or you say "come on, Brisket....it's not that bad, it'll only be applied to brown people," which of course is not the excuse you think it is. So, which is it?

17 year old stabbed to death by another 17 year old at Frisco track meet
Brisketexan replied to Derka's topic in Daily Texan
Being that there are eleventy hundred dueling narratives out there.....ranging from extremes of "this was pre-meditated and planned murder from the get-go" to "he should get off entirely because it was self-defense"....with a shitload of narratives in between, then yeah. This is actually why we have an adversarial system of justice: get the evidence out there and decide what actually happened. -
And the golden cheeked warbler, and every other endangered species you can think of. You can cut down the trees they live in, bulldoze the prairie, fill in the springs, whatever you want. So long as you don't personally grab one and kill it face-to-face, all good. Seriously, that's only slightly hyperbolic. You can't directly kill an animal. But you can destroy its habitat, food source, etc.....so they all die....and that's a-ok.
-
Hey, just letting you know that the Endangered Species Act is pretty much over as well: So, what does that mean? In short form, it means that yes, while it's still illegal to shoot an ocelot (for example), it will now be 100% legal to pave over every single acre of their habitat, depriving them of prey, shelter, a place to live, all of that stuff. All habitat protection per the ESA....gone. Completely. Do you have your eye on that tract of land where you'd like to pave it over and build a strip mall full of MAGA gear shops, but gosh, it's some of the last remaining critical habitat for an endangered species? Well, fret no more! Fire up the bulldozers, and scrape it to the bedrock!

Hey, so on that deal about DOGE fucking stealing the data of millions of Americans.....where are all of the good Republicans who have been screaming about "the DEEP STATE!" for all these years? Aren't we supposed to be opposed to that? Isn't that a threat we should fight against tooth-and-nail? Because I gotta tell ya, you super-duper freedom warriors are falling the FUCK down on the job: Where are you guys? You super libertarian types.....why so quiet?

Wife and I were just talking about this (after we saw a line of motorcycles cruising down 360 Sunday afternoon). At our old house, we used to have to listen to them drive by all weekend. But now it's gone, except....it's apparently coming back: https://www.eaglerider.com/motorcycle-events/republic-of-texas Doesn't look to be nearly the big deal it once was, though.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Brisketexan replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
Oh, let's get back to Garcia again. So, in actual court filings, and in the actual past court record related to him, 1) there is no finding that he was a member of MS-13, and in fact 2) he was allowed to stay because he was at risk FROM MS-13, and 3) the administration (via affidavit, not just a statement by a lawyer) admitted his deportation was "an administrative error." What did the administration say yesterday in a press conference, some things for the first time? 1) He is a terrorist, 2) he is a member of MS-13, and 3) he is a human trafficker. Are there any findings by any adjudicative body of any of these things? NOPE. The admin just.....says so. The human trafficking allegation (with zero evidence) was stated for the first time at a fucking press conference yesterday. Has the administration put forth ANY evidence to substantiate its claims? NOPE. So let's be clear. The administration, without offering ANY evidence, in ANY venue or forum (public, private, court, etc.) can declare you (yes, YOU) to be a "terrorist" and "human trafficker," and then....do whatever the fuck it wants to you. What is the proof that you are those things? Well...the administration says so. That's enough. Everything that all the people freaking out about "the deep state" claimed to be afraid of now exists....and they fucking EMBRACE it.- 566 replies

Did anyone else hear that explosion just now in North Austin?
Brisketexan replied to hornbri's topic in Daily Texan
1) It might shift the primary insurance (to the homeowner instead of the builder), but maybe not the liability. If the event was caused by the negligence of the builder, he’s still the target. 2) Yes, the other homeowners should be covered under their own policies, which is good, because there won’t be enough coverage on the policy of the home that bore up or of the builder to cover all the damage. The other homeowners’ carriers may and likely will go after the primary responsible parties’ coverage, but it won’t be enough to cover it all. -

Back to Russia Today for retooling. It ran into challenges with the focus group.

Also...as to that insane dickhead post above.... what does "winning" this war against China look like? He says "We attempted to force China out of the system. If we fail, regardless of who is president, they will exact revenge." That implies that...we must SUCCEED in "forcing China out of the system." What sane fucking person thinks that China would ever, ever accept that outcome (being forced out of the global economic system)? Is he insane? That outcome is, to the loser, total and complete destruction. China would sooner pop off all of its nukes than suffer that outcome. He is rooting for an outcome that is fucking insanity, and a GUARANTEE of actual massive kinetic warfare. WTF? That's one of the most idiotic things I've ever fucking read, and it only gets more ridiculously stupid upon re-reading.
