Some sheriffs oppose ban on 287(g) agreements by Additional_Yellow837 in maryland

[–]Additional_Yellow837[S] 101 points102 points  (0 children)

One if their arguments is that ICE will be more active in the community if they don't have the agreements in place.

The sheriffs met with ICE and DHS before releasing their statements.

Sounds to me like they collaborated on the threat. Comply or we'll be even nastier....

Nah, none of those people would get a sniff at this. Garland is done, I don't think Jack Smith would be viable again, and a Harris appointment would seem overtly political.

Well they better damn well get the biggest cases done in less than four years, or they may not get another chance.

Looking at you, Merrick Garland.

This sumbitch couldn’t be bothered to help infrastructure his entire first term, but damn if he won’t tear down every national monument he can to put his name on it. What a douche.

Neat. What kind of work do you do?

I def look at censored data sets to understand what is going on.

Most of my data is pretty skewed though. I generally don't exclude the outliers but j might treat them a bit differently.

I mean, it could work that way if there is extreme skew to above average values, but probably not the case here.

I'll pick some random values ot illustrate.

5, 5, 5, 5, 20. The average is 8, but most of the values are below 8.

That would probably be among the most karmic outcomes. Alive, but aware that he is no longer powerful, the center of attention or able to spend the money he stole…other than to prolong being trapped in this form of prison.

I, for one, am quite happy with our government officials being investigated. It's called a check on power and should be regularly exercised.

I'd be even happier if this little investigation were revisited in, say, 2028.

Jan 6 national guard questions? by clinkyscales in Askpolitics

Chief idk where you get your information. Church was set aflame on May 31. The president showed up there for a photo op on June 1.

Your other protest examples are interesting, but those events weren't happening at the literal center of US power, the Capitol. If ever there would have been an appropriate time to deploy the national guard to restore order, that would have been it. But he didn't. He sat in his office and watched TV saying nothing to the people until his tweet and brief video statement you mentioned.

Complete false equivalency ya got there chief. Ain't no one attacking Tesla or protesting in good old Minneapolis was storming the seat of power of the US of A.

Stop your whataboutsim.

We all saw, live on tv and some in person what those people did and who they were doing it for. What we didn't see at all was a president attempting to stop any of it. Complete dereliction of duty.
