– Happy Friday to all who celebrate. Maybe an introduction instead of an exit?
– The bike and walking path over 520 looks pretty cool.
– Anybody doing Autumn foraging?
– Seems like there could be trouble for Hanford.
– I hope glass recycling doesn’t go the way plastic bags did.

Well that certainly aged like gas station sushi.
Want to know how bad that report is?
Matt Gaetz says he will NOT return to Congress next year.
@ 3
To a teary-eyed libbie I guess that passes for a win. He’s gonna need something to cling to, after all.
A ringing endorsement of BlueSky:
Three days. Hell, that’s less time than the intervals between Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s bowel movements.
Women in the Military are probably less likely than men to abandon their morals for fascism!
@2 catturd sounds like a Heterosexual Neanderthal that is most likely to beat up the wife one day.
@5
They found the one.
We can’t know at this point if an apparently erratic, undisciplined, and shockingly incompetent Fat Hitler 47 administration will succeed in any substantive way in harnassing the immensity of the federal administrative state and directing it to accomplish his signature campaign promise of forcibly deporting every single undocumented person residing currently in the United States.
Nor can we know or predict if even some of the lesser related promises will be acheivable. His choice for “Border Czar” (a position which does not actually exist) Tom Homan suggests to the media that all these promises will be accomplished. But he also explains that it will take time and proceed incrementally, initially targeting as he puts it “all resident aliens legal or not who have committed crimes”. This obviously means that current legal residents who are holders of “Green Cards” (legal permanent residents) as well as holders of EADs and I-94 documents would be subject to deportation orders if they are found by the agency to have committed unspecified crimes. Homan refuses to say what specific types of crimes would trigger such a deportation order. Nor will he say what, if any, process would be afforded to such persons subject to this kind of deportation order. But he does clearly say that this type of enforcement would be among the very first things the new administration would implement well ahead of anything else that would require expanded resources. And as a reference he has very consistently suggested that some administrative offenses including failing to update registration information or failure to carry documents could trigger such an order. So this represents a substantial expansion of current policy wherein deportation orders are normally only triggered by aggravated felonies or crimes of “moral turpitude”.
So it’s probably safe to predict that withing the first 100 days some version of this policy would be put into effect. And as such it would implicate somewhere between 13 million and 20 million residents, workers, students, and others currently living legally in the US. So at the very least it’s worthwhile to think about what effects this new policy would have.
This kind of radical expansion of enforcement would put these residents into a kind of limbo wherein their status and even thier very existence would be constantly at risk from any kind of legal interraction. A workplace dispute, a conflict with a neighbor, a professional rivalry, or a misunderstanding by yet another lazy, ignorant, xenophobic cop would present an almost incalculable risk to such a person. And the opportunity for such people to be victimized and exploited by these conditions would probably explode.
Bear in mind that these are legal residents, many of whom may play important roles in their families, communities and in their places of employment. Some, especially the most qualified and capable, will probably respond by leaving the US, at least eventually. Some are probably already looking into those options. Someone who has made investments and sacrifices to establish a business, a profession, a home, a mortgage, kids in school, and roots in their community would not willingly see all that put at risk of being stripped away over a DUI or a weird-beard neighbor killing their dog. They’ll make plans. Those with fewer resources may choose to stick it out. But if Americans are who we now appear to be, the existence of these legal residents inside the U.S. will increasingly become an unliveable experience for many if not most. And I expect that will develop fairly rapidly.
What did I tell you. Bob doesn’t care if you think that someone other than The Pedophile Eddie Munster would be worse than he. He just wants you to not have any tiny bit of a win.
Bob’s only existence is to see someone lose. @4 is an attempt to undermine any type of win.
To converse with the traitorous mother fucker is to lose.
3,
So not the next Senator from Florida?
Gosh. How surprising. /s
@ 10
@4 is an attempt to undermine any type of win.
To G-clown a Trump-supporting AG nominee who will sail through the Senate is a “win”.
G-clown’s taken it in the ass so many times that he always likes it, no matter who is doing the fucking. In this case it’s Donald Trump. Again.
@9 heck, depending on what happens here, I may tell my employer that I’m calling it quits, that’s even if the company is still around after a manufactured crash of the economy.
When I was hired, the hiring manager told me they waited 9 months to find a candidate to fill my position. Since being here, they finally got the aspect of work that I do under a bit of control.
But if they think I’m going to productively work for a company that bows down to oppression then they can go fuck themselves.
@12 no, the only win that I get is when I watch you lose. You failed medical student.
10,
Can you at least admire his commitment to the bit?
There is almost no degradation Scotty P will not willingly suffer if it offers him a brief moment of schadenfreude. He reminds me of the “Scorpio Killer” in Dirty Harry when he paid a guy $200 to beat him into the ER just to make Harry look bad.

Yes, certainly, like being an x-ray technician in lieu of a surgeon.
Hey G, how can you tell if you roommate is queer?
His dick tastes like shit!
@18
go beat up your wife or girlfriend you fucking Neanderthal.
Sounds like you know from experience
Part of Biden Inflation that was never discussed.

His choice for “Border Czar” (a position which does not actually exist)…
Keep fuckin’ that chicken.
Everyone does realize why Bisexuals (who have gay sex) get a free pass.
Now why do you think that is? Well, because boy @18 wants a bromance, he just doesn’t want to be labeled gay.
Notice that he says roommate….not stranger… it’s his dream fantasy when he had or with his present roommate.
Hey G-clown, Welfare Queen YLB @ 20 is using your name to spew complete nonsense.
Good thing DOCTOR Jill runs the Secret Service, because the ICC will try to arrest her husband next.
Gee, it’s really too bad that BS doesn’t permit dissent.
2019 was so fun.
Back then RBG felt pretty good and POS Hunter paid the Chinese to leak The Wuhan, using some of the funds his dad got from Ukrainian thugs.
Is Rachel Maddow worth $25 million a year?
And if so, how much does that make Boxcheck Momala worth?
The most recent appointee holding the press applied nickname of “Border Czar”:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberta_S._Jacobson
Ms. Jacobson’s formal title was Special Assistant to the President and Coordinator for the Southern Border serving on the National Security Council in a non-statutory role and appointed by the president to serve the first 100 days.
Since Fat Hitler does not actually understand how his own administration will be organized in order to pursue his objectives (assuming he even has any beyond selling souvenirs) we have absolutely no idea what Homan’s title, responsibilities, or authorities will be. Fat Hitler proclaims that he will use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (one of the original and infamous Alien and Sedition Acts) to carry out immediate deportations. But that act, passing into law as it did in the 18th century when Congress was supremely skeptical of Executive Branch authority, by itself does not confer any statutory authority to any person or officer in the government other than the president himself. Subsequent acts have passed much of the original authority to what is now the Secretary of Homeland Security. And it is restricted to being applied only when a formal declaration of war exists between the United States and a foreign country, and only applies to citizens of that country. There is currently no formally declaration of war between the United States and any other country nor has there been since the formal ending of hostilities following WW2.
@ 27
We colloquially refer to him as President Biden, ’cause c’mon. Everyone knows DOCTOR Jill runs the show. Why else all that Secret Service protection in Pittsburgh that weekend in July?
You don’t need the title to be responsible for the effort.
And how does that worth compare to Boxcheck Matt, Boxcheck Pam, Boxcheck Mehmet, Boxcheck Bobbie, Boxcheck Pete, Boxcheck Linda, Boxcheck Matthew, Boxcheck Tulsi, Boxcheck Elon, Boxcheck Vivek, Boxcheck Dan, and Boxcheck Karoline? Go ahead and pick just one at random. And there are hundreds more to go even before any of the inevitable firings begin.
Scotty P’s long, tiresome investment in a “meritocratic” critique of DEI blows up in his very stupid face. 💥
2028 alert:
Sure…that’s a good idea.
Just wondering for the people who never took Econ, what would be the effect on Unemployment, GDP and consumer spending?
@ 31
Sure…that’s a good idea.
Right up there with defunding the police everywhere ’cause some dude OD’d in Minneapolis a few years back.
The difference between Sarah Palin and Boxcheck Momala is Katie Couric held her fire until after the election this time.
@2 catturd sounds like a Heterosexual Neanderthal that is most likely to beat up the wife one day.
Yeah, but have you seen what our women look like?
@32
You still don’t have the slightest clue what you’re talking about.
If you take $1m from program ‘A’ and use it to hire $1m worth of employees for Program ‘B’ where ‘A’ is police officers and ‘B’ is crime REDUCTION the net effect on the economy is zero. Unless you’re a racist POS cop with an itchy trigger finger and then you’re trying to find work strolling the mall with a taser.
@34 looks like the real ones… aka Marjorie Taylor Green.
No wonder the Heterosexual Neanderthals are ok with domestic violence.

Department Of Getting Even “Czarina” Elmo says a 33% RIF is very doable.
So what would 8 million new claims for UI do for state budgets?
Scotty P seems to be saying Elmo is full of it and they don’t really mean it. Aside from his own disappointment, he’d better hope so.
@37
It’s called manufactured crash of the economy so that military rule can be installed, the perfect excuse.
Scotty P is a dipshit.
@37
So according to this internet calculator that was designed for the Kevin Bacon game, that would put every American at most three degrees of separation from someone who was literally laid off by Donald Trump.
Do you wonder if Elmo is just looking at a list and thinking, “Why does the US Forest service need pilots? Trees don’t fly.”
They are going to make me look like a financial genius. They’ll finally stop talking about ‘villes’!
