Friday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard โ€” Friday, 2/13/26, 8:11 am

Good morning.ย  I hope you are well.

  • That extra $11,000 in Jaahnavi Kandula’s settlement is heartbreaking.
  • It is wild that an anti ICE executive order is needed. But King County is right to have one.
  • Also appreciate Maritza Rivera opposing cooperation with ICE. Although we’ll see about the implementation.
  • If you like football puns, you’ll love this story about transit during the Seahawks parade.
  • Good to see the rare instance of Representative Gluesenkamp Perez not on the wrong side of a critical vote.

    For the first time since before December there are ZERO ICE flights heading into Minneapolis-St Paul this week.
    Zero. Nada. Zilch.

    Whistles and smart phones drove them away.

    When Kathy Ruemmler was giving Jeffrey Epstein advice while serving as Barack’s White House lawyer, was the advice hers alone?

    Or did Barack take time away from running the country and keeping an eye on POS Hunter Biden’s traitorous exploits so that he, too, could tell Jeffrey Epstein how to navigate society’s upper crust with the stain of a sex offender following him around?

    Anyway, the Epstein files took down Barack’s White House attorney, who was forced yesterday to resign from Goldman Sachs.

    This is going swimmingly for Democrats.

    Cooperation from MPD and state LE enabled them to depart.

    Besides, suddenly there were fewer domestic terrorists willing to die for the cause of obstructing Orange Man Bad once they realized that ICE was not fooling around.

    Cooperation from MPD and state LE enabled them to depart.

    How does this self-soothing gibberish even make sense?

    If the “cooperation” that the lying troll depends upon to support his Newmax fed narrative existed in any substantive way AT ALL it would be producing more detentions. Or at least some detentions.

    If there are no in-bound flights, then there are no outbound flights. If the previously routed GEO-Global flights that ICE relied upon to move detainees to contract torture facilities to await deportation are being re-routed to Ft. Lauderdale for long term maintenance, and no other tail numbers are taking their places, then that means the local ICE operation has no detainees to deport.

    The lying troll caught lying again. This time lying to himself.
    MAGA is getting played like bitches. And we get to watch and laugh.

    Just one week after Alex Pretti’s public execution.
    And one week after the lying troll’s naked, end zone victory dance.

    There are dozens of videos like these. The ICE Fat Ass morale must be just soaring.

    But look on the bright side MAGA, unable to feed themselves the ICE Fat Asses might finally be able to lose the extra fifty pounds that keeps them from meeting the fitness requirements (or from seeing their own penises).

    Susie Wiles is the “anonymous” source for that WSJ report.

    She is destroying Lewandoski and Dog Butcher Barbie because they tried to get him installed as WH Chief of Staff over her in December of 2024.

    Who wudda thunk armed goons masquerading as law enforcement officers would LIE about committing first degree assault?

    Federal authorities have opened an investigation into two ICE officers and whether they lied in sworn statements after the Department of Justice dropped charges against a Venezuelan man who was shot during an operation.

    Trump thinks he can impose voting requirements by decree. I don’t honestly know what this SCOTUS would do with that obviously unconstitutional idea, but my own idea of voting reform is disqualifying anyone who voted for him in 2024 for civic incompetence.

    Getting taken in by Trump in 2016 is marginally understandable, but by 2024 he was such a known quantity that for voting for him was inexcusable.

    Meanwhile, I started out not liking Newsom very much, but he’s looking better to me. He stands up to the Orange Bully more than any other Democrat, and is spot on calling Trump an 8-year-old.

    The Department of Homeland Security is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose Immigration and Customs Enforcement by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency. In recent months, Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from DHS, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests.

    https://www.seattletimes.com/business/homeland-security-wants-social-media-sites-to-expose-anti-ice-accounts/

    I’d say no, then let them try to enforce these subpoenas in court.
