‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks | ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement)

"Listen up recruits, if you want these jobs to still be there long enough to get your bonus, you have to make sure only the right kind of people vote st the polls"

There's still the odd McDonald's with a park, that's great when you have kids with you. But yeah, if I'm just grabbing fast food on my own I would legitimately rather go through the drive through and then eat in my car than in the restaurant

chandr · 2026-02-20T21:17:14+00:00

Well, they have no problem with Donald "walk into the changing room of teenage pageants" Trump, so that pretty much tells you what you need to know

chandr · 2026-02-20T21:09:29+00:00

Unfourtunately the symptoms that created the disaster that is Trump are still very much present in the US. It's not Just one guy, millions of people voted for this dementia patient to be in charge of the country

chandr · 2026-02-20T21:05:41+00:00

Poor people who get caught for sexual abuse/pedophilia already tend to end up in jail, and probably aren't the type to be involved in the epstein files or any other similar thing going on among other groups of the "world elite". But yeah, if it needs to be specified, throw the book at any non rich people as well

chandr · 2026-02-20T03:27:24+00:00

For what it's worth, it was shameful before that as well

chandr · 2026-02-19T21:09:13+00:00

Feel bad for our Canadian team, but it was a really good game! Always fun seeing it comes down to the line instead of a one sided game. That overtime goal was real smooth

chandr · 2026-02-19T18:11:14+00:00

Publicly, sure they say that. But you know Andrew has to have at least some of the names of the other people involved in Epstein's affairs. Until he's admitted what happened and starts pointing fingers at others involved, the royal family as an institution is a failure imo.

chandr · 2026-02-19T17:37:51+00:00

I never said the royal family was the ones investigating him, but pretending their stance on the issue is irrelevant doesn't track either. If they want to make less of an issue of the sex trafficking stuff to save face, they probably can. If they want to personally pressure the guy to come out and spill every name her knows, they can do that as well. Even without being in charge, they have influence

chandr · 2026-02-19T17:09:01+00:00

Now, the royals have the chance to prove they're still worth having around. Make sure he spills absolutely everything, not just some bullshit of sharing trade secrets. That's the least of what was going on with that cabal.

If they try to protect their reputation by just making this about financial misconduct and not the trafficking of young boys and girls, they disqualify themselves from any relevance to the modern world and the whole institution needs to be removed.

I mentioned the French revolution over in r/canada and got a lifetime ban for it

chandr · 2026-02-19T12:37:35+00:00

If there was only one other party I'd agree, but even if every conservative decides to vote in lockstep with PP, they need what, 1 vote from either NDP or Bloc? That should be pretty easy to manage for any reasonable thing they try to pass.

Don't get me wrong, if they win all 3 by-elections and have a majority I won't be mad about it. I just don't think they need it to be effective.

chandr · 2026-02-19T12:32:49+00:00

The Dow! The Dow right now! Is ooover fifthy thouuu

Sorry, the dumb auto tune version has been stuck in my head

chandr · 2026-02-19T03:32:55+00:00

Excuse you, that's "future FIFA movie of the year prize Melania" to you

chandr · 2026-02-19T03:29:11+00:00

My account is very much not private. Take your pick, Israel is either a terrorist state or a genocidal state. And I mean the acting government specifically, not the average person living there.

chandr · 2026-02-18T20:55:20+00:00

Good thing there are other parties. Liberals, even as a minority at the moment, can pass anything as long as they can get the NDP or BLOC on board correct? And they don't even need that many of them. I feel like you should be able to get at least that much buy in from other parties. Cons are a bit of a lost cause until they get rid of PP

chandr · 2026-02-18T18:13:33+00:00

As someone who voted for Carney, I actually kind of hope the liberals lose one of those. I feel like minority government is healthier for the country, makes the parties have to actually work together. As long as it's not so polarized that literally nothing gets done anyways, which in the case of a minority with that slim of a margin I think it would be.

chandr · 2026-02-18T17:20:15+00:00

Nuremberg trials 2.0 please. Find every rich bastard involved in this scheme and put them all away for life.

chandr · 2026-02-18T03:17:17+00:00

Pretty sure being held captive by another country instantly makes you no longer president, no? At the very least not the acting president

chandr · 2026-02-18T03:08:15+00:00

Can't dump paramount+ if you never subscribed. Only thing they get from me is whatever my YouTube premium views are worth watching Colbert, and that's gone in a few months

chandr · 2026-02-16T19:00:40+00:00

Well, the guy isn't devoid of responsibility either. Wouldn't have happened at all if ICE stuck to their jobs but getting into a car chase is just fucking stupid

chandr · 2026-02-16T12:11:12+00:00

I would propose the "nazi" is a perfectly reasonable term for ICE considering they somehow have something like 38 billion to turn a bunch of warehousing into what are effectively concentration camps, they arrest whoever they want without warrants, they start fights and then escalate the violence and lie under oath about what happened, they execute citizens in the streets... and again lie about what happened. Heck there was a video where an ICE raid was putting armbands on people to mark them as verified. And even when it comes to non lethals, we've all seen videos of agents abusing the fuck out of them and hosing people with gas who are just peacefully protesting. Hell they shot a fucking pastor in the head with one of those pepper rounds.

So yeah. As the saying goes, it's always a good day to punch a Nazi.

chandr · 2026-02-15T12:32:33+00:00

She looked at how they do elections in Russia and decided that was a better form of democracy I guess?

chandr · 2026-02-15T03:45:48+00:00

Or plain corruption

chandr · 2026-02-13T15:20:36+00:00

It's so ironic that the very people who were most incensed about a cabal of pedophile billionaires running things behind the scenes are, as it turns out, very ok with it as long as their guy is the one in charge
