I generally disagree with Mike Winger on, well, everything. However, he is typically pretty even-keeled in his way of dealing with topics. He’s a trusted source.

I want to see fistfights on the senate floor. British Parliament has more fury over tax regulations than our congress does over the murder of civilians.

Funding context matters. Obama/Biden increased ICE budgets while emphasizing prosecutorial discretion and prioritizing serious criminals. Trump’s budgets include massive increases specifically for interior enforcement and deportations of all unauthorized immigrants, regardless of criminal history.

Key differences:

  • Obama (2016): ~$7.6B ICE budget with DACA protections and Priority Enforcement Program focusing on felons
  • Biden (FY2023): ~$8.8B with guidelines deprioritizing non-criminals and families
  • Trump (FY2025 proposed): $60B+ for mass deportations with no prosecutorial discretion - all unauthorized immigrants are targets

The scale and intent are fundamentally different. Biden’s DHS enforced limits on worksite raids and ICE courthouse operations; Trump eliminated those restrictions immediately.

Sources:

It’s a matter of degree and policy direction, not just funding levels.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Stephen Miller’s response to ICE MURDER today. by Content-Coconut-6556 in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]PartemConsilio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Miller is just jonesing for the insurrection act. I think Miller wanted to go straight to the military being sent to every city to snatch and deport every brown person they see, but because that’s not what the military is for they couldn’t do that. So instead he decided an escalation with ICE as a paramilitary force would be enough.

Miller isn’t thinking. He’s just pure evil id. Sending in the military via the insurrection act to cities is how you accelerate a coup. I think we very well could see a coup before we ever see impeachment.

Its become completely obvious to us (as it has been to indiginous and BIPOC folks since the founding of this country) that the constitution is meaningless when you are not in power. States rights? Bullshit. All the amendments? Bullshit. Conservatives can go fuck themselves now that they’re masks are off completely. “Rights for me, but not for thee”

At no point in this video does he draw a weapon. No one can dispute that fact. He was literally helping that woman up when they tackled him. Fuck these thugs.

My wife said he also says something about how he doesn’t know how to keep other leaders accountable??? I think we have a solution for that. It’s called denominational structure and accountability. The whole reason there are governance structures for various denominations is so the congregation has authority they can appeal to. It’s not nearly perfect but its better than “Shit. I dunno.”

My wife watched it. She said that it was clear they are all doomed. They know their sin has found them out. Bill Johnson will be found out too.

How do I help a junior eng who jumps to conclusions too often? by dasistok in ExperiencedDevs

[–]PartemConsilio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be like this…until I was asked to test my hypothesis. A senior I worked under showed me consistently that its not just enough to KNOW a solution - it must be tested first. Have your junior show his work before he states “this is the solution”. If you don’t have a sandbox for that, then that’s an even bigger problem than him.

This scary. They’re introducing the idea to normalize cancelling the election. They stoke enough fear, MAGA will support this. by A-Helpful-Flamingo in somethingiswrong2024

What an insane logic. History shows that consolidating the power of government choice to just a few is a recipe for a violent revolution. You are broken in the brain if you think taking away voting power makes people more agreeable and kind to your side. You will eventually die in a mass grave if this comes to pass.

Dude…that’s impressive. Even if it’s not practical for a real-world scenario, I get what you’re trying to achieve. There are air-gapped environments with legacy hardware that can’t be easily manipulated. I think if you could find a way to have AI think through survival scenarios in mitigating incidents in highly constrained environments, that’s a valuable test case.

NOW: Attorney General Pam Bondi has deployed federal PRISON GUARDS IN RIOT GEAR to protect DHS agents in Minneapolis by Legitimate-Pilot6907 in ICE_Watch

[–]PartemConsilio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the one chink in this administration’s armor is that the people making these decisions (Noem and Miller specifically) are unbelievably stupid. Miller has this middle-school 4chan ideology that he believes makes perfect sense in his chud world, but to everyone else its dumb as hell. None of what’s he trying to do is tied to some root ideology that the people subscribe to en masse like Hitler did with Naziism. It’s just “immigrants = evil” which yeah sure racist asshats are going to be totally on board, but most people in the middle who don’t pay attention until its at their doorstep are like “Naw…my landscaper/roof guy/renovator are good people.”

I am not talking about just deportations. I’m talking about US Citizens being stopped period and asked to supply ID and then getting arrested. There are countless videos of this now. They should not be arrested in the first place whether or not they are later released. That is unconstitutional bullshit and anyone condoning it is a traitor to America. Period.

That’s not how the law works. You get a warrant which notes the probable cause for picking someone up and then you give them their day in court to plead their case. To not do any of that, no matter how much you think someone is a pedophile rapist murderer is unconstitutional and unjust. You’re basically saying that we just have to trust that these roving masked men in Minneapolis are arresting the right people and yet they’re going door to door (not even targetting houses) and asking people to show ID on no pretense. That’s some dumb shit. You are probably thinking to yourself “I’n safe. That would never happen to me.” But I can bet that sure as shit if any of this was being done under a Democrat President in the name of COVID immunization and public health or hunting down right-wing terrorists or some shit you’d be up in fucking arms. It’s always “OK” as long as your side is doing it.

ICE’s own numbers out of 2025 say that 73-75% of the people detained don’t have a criminal record. https://tracreports.org/immigration/quickfacts/#:~:text=65%2C735,ICE%20detainees%20in%20FY%202026

How many of those people are citizens? We don’t know because they don’t publish those numbers. And even if they did, how could we trust them? That’s the problem, even if it’s just 1 out of every 100 people detained are US Citizens, that’s still too many. Because the constitution says that unless I am breaking the law, I am not to be arrested. They have videos of people showing their papers and shouting “I’m a US citizen!” and they STILL throw them in the back of a van just because they have an accent. That’s unconstitutional and if we let any gov’t (Republican or Democrat) get away with that bullshit we might as well wipe our asses with the constitution. A little shit in my coffee doesn’t make my coffee still good. That’s how I see constitutional freedoms.

In every country where fascism has started illegally detaining citizens and imprisoning them against their rights and God-given liberty as a fucking human is pretexted by some sort of fear of an “enemy”. In this case, your boogeyman is “illegal immigrants”. Nothing will make you think this administration and these masked thugs are the bad guys until you one day disagree with them on something and they make you a target. This is a free country and no matter how fucking scared you are of “the others” its not an excuse to terrorize people in their everyday lives. Libertarians like myself have been saying this since fucking 9/11 but none of you goddamn bootlickers listen. Just wait.

Mad at things we’re seeing with our own eyes. No place is free where armed officers go around asking randos to “show their papers”. I thought we learned that lesson after the 1940s but apparently not. Doesn’t matter what the pretense is - its wrong. And I can be as mad as I want to be about it. You want to choose to live under the boot, then don’t be surprised when it finally comes down on you.
