On second thought, I may be getting on board this whole "deport regular white Americans to a gulag" thing.

Next time you're down at MDA go to Mala Sichuan and get the Spicy and Crispy Chicken which is my favorite meal on this planet.
co-sign.
Chongqing chicken is next-level good shit.
I've had it at a coupla places in Austin -- Fat Dragon does a damned fine version. China Family's is too salty, chicken pieces too small. Need to try the House of Three Gorges version.

It is shocking that the Anastasis isn't in this thread. You'd think the guy obsessed with military tribunals, prisons, and lack of due process in them would be all over this issue. Weird.
Yeah, see, it turns out Ana was "both sides" when one side was in power....but now that the authoritarian oligarchical right has full control.....he has very little to say on the "both sides" front. Indeed, he finds himself consistently excusing and justifying the actions and overreach of the Trump Regime in ways and to an extent that he never even came close to when democrats were in power.

Not sure how anyone can hate on Mighty Fine. It’s a solid, nothing fancy burger.
Yeah, I mean....it's kind of the platonic ideal of the basic burger. Nothing fancy, but done well, good fresh ingredients - and you get it exactly how you want it, every time (grilled onions, extra pickles, mustard and mayo...for example. And they get it right). They have good fries and onion rings. It's quick and consistent, but not shitty fast-food. It's not a "destination," as in "OMG you gotta try Mighty Fine," but it's definitely a "we're running errands this afternoon, we can get a burger for lunch at Mighty Fine while we're out," and everyone is happy.

We the People, wouldn't actually own this weapons system flying around above us. So, what happens if we decide to cancel our subscription, and are we sure they won't target us again?
Elon: "Huh. Enemy missiles inbound. It would be a shame if someone had to suspend your subscription right now for . . . reasons. A direct transfer of $500 billion to upgrade to our 'Platinum Missile Defense Plan' will insure that your subscription stays on, especially during the next 20 minutes . . . act now!"
There's not a single thing about Elon that is redeeming, and the earth as a whole will be better when he is gone.

Mighty Fine is still around? Been only once and that was enough.
Mighty fine is plenty good, esp when we want a quick weeknight burger.-

Wife’s italian citizenship plan just got torpedoed by Italian government. They ain’t letting anyone else in.
Ok, New Zealand it is. But I will stay and fight for a while.
Wait…they really shut that down? Because I know of a lot of folks pursuing Italian citizenship. -

I mean do you even see your own internal disconnect?
"Democrats need to offer carefully considered messaging utilizing logic and relatable ideals in order to convince the voters who are... checks notes... dumb as hell and not swayable with logical reason."
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!

I’m all for solving our entitlement problems, but starving the elderly and infirm I dunno. Gotta think on that one.
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.

I would like to see some examples of all these Americans who were jailed just for voicing an opinion.
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.

yeah...i have found myself thinking a LOT about how the average German citizen went about their daily lives in 1938 and beyond. like...i've been seeing those folks through a really different lens in recent weeks.
i see how it happened. i really do. and my privileged, retired, blue-state self has developed some sincere empathy for those citizens. because, like...wtf, what do i do? there is no answer right now, none at all.
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").

If you want people to believe something you say it's true over and over and over again.
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.

Well well well, might the lack of Chevron deference come into play here?
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?

We'll have to see this play out.
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.

So, fuck those salamanders in Austin??
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.
