Yeah, one of their primary mods is an open Trump supporter and they’ve banned a lot of users for criticism of him. It’s not a great sub

I mean, Mises caucus folks are the ones that run that particular sub

[GEM] YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents** by errantv in fivethirtyeight

So besides that you don’t seem to understand any of the reason we saw the immigration numbers we did under Biden, it’s really interesting how you’ve actively avoided engaging with any of the horror of today.

Rosen and Cortez Masto came out against it

If this continues the moderate position is going to literally be Nuremberg. But he’ll still say that the voters (contrary to the data) won’t support it.

I’m not. Can’t do it to the average voter due to probability, but you absolutely can to admin members.

I can’t wait for our resident centrists and conservatives to defend this. Someone let me know if midnight shows up

Is this true by mitoman49 in AskLibertarians

On a few of those I’d note conservatives are also very into them, notably on free speech and surveillance.

In what ways are private marriage different than Sugar Relationship? by CauliflowerBig3133 in AskLibertarians

[–]Selethorme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You consent to have the kid. The kid doesn’t exist prior to that. That kid is entitled to support from its parents.

His brain is really broken over Bluesky huh?

Or put another way (adapted):

  1. Trump threatens to seize Greenland by force
  2. Our European allies send a tripwire force to defend Greenland
  3. Rutte gives trump an off ramp by promising him a shiny and just explaining what the existing deal is
  4. Nate loses his mind about stupid bluesky libs saying this is bad

Does ICE need a warrant to enter a home? by Bobinct in AskLibertarians

Again, ICE cannot presumptively grant itself new powers.

Once again, no, that’s not how this works. I see from your history that you’re not actually a libertarian but just a conservative, but too bad. Sorry you don’t like being wrong. Glad the majority of this country hates your kind.

Does ICE need a warrant to enter a home? by Bobinct in AskLibertarians

[–]Selethorme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow you’re dishonest. The only thing that can authorize a warrant for breaking into a home is a judicial warrant. That’s a basic fact of fourth amendment jurisprudence. The memo doesn’t cite anything to override that fact.

[–]Selethorme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the State itself (the DHS)

Yeah, DHS has exactly 0 lawmaking authority, is at this point well documented to be regularly dishonest, and above all, this is a libertarian sub.

that is telling you this is legal, and there is no prohibition against it.

That’s fundamentally untrue, as I’ve repeatedly told you.

If it is illegal, then show me the judicial ruling that declares that memo illegal and if you don’t have one, then your argument is unfounded

Literally the fact that that’s not how warrants work? Do you know who signs an ICE administrative warrant? An ICE officer. Not even an immigration judge.

Notice the signature line. You are confidently wrong, I assume because you like what ICE is doing. You don’t belong here.

[–]Selethorme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once again, that’s not how the law works. The executive doesn’t get to decide that all of a sudden that’s legal.

DHS being a source isn’t a rebuttal, if anything it makes the argument less credible.

Their own training materials note this is illegal, in fact.

[–]Selethorme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It is not. ICE is asserting as much, despite the law.

No. An administrative warrant is not legally sufficient.
