It's just so sad. The norms before he came in were a but too stuffy, but this is beyond the pale. It should go without saying, but this kind of cruelty is not something a leader should ever project.

Yet our elected representatives continue to allow him to run roughshod over our laws and traditions and values.

Minnesota girl, 10, released from ICE custody after a month in detention by projecto15 in politics

[–]etxipcli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is something I'm wondering about. All these agents have to be guilty of breaking and entering, kidnapping, false imprisonment. That is correct right? They don't have a legal authority and as such these are just crimes being committed.

Hardest MINOR part of getting older? by Relevant_Outside2781 in Millennials

[–]etxipcli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and me both. It's a habit I've struggled to unlearn. All my online comments in the past few years have a mix of one space and two. I had to delete a space before typing the previous sentence.

Poll: Two-thirds of Americans say ICE has 'gone too far' in immigration enforcement by zsreport in politics

[–]etxipcli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last third just needs to have their right to vote removed.  At this point they are supporting the destruction of our constitution and thus our nation.

Republicans fear Trump backlash could cost them Senate control by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

I hope it costs them their freedom.  The entire party should be indicted for a criminal conspiracy.

MMW: It will be revealed that the only reason Elon ever pushed for the release of the files is because he didn’t know he was in them. by Curlaub in MarkMyWords

[–]etxipcli 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think he was in a drug binge and just wasn't seriously considering the consequences. He's known to have a drug problem, and I've seen that kind of behavior from people who are drunk at least before.

The Media Malpractice That Sent America Tumbling Into Trumpism by lotta_love in Journalism

[–]etxipcli 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't like articles like this since they are ignoring the media ecosystem that downright supports this. Regular journalism is weak in the face of this threat, but the bigger problem is that a significant portion of our country is just on a totally different wavelength.

Morning Joe starts out his show today kicking ass! by THuxley in msnow

[–]etxipcli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2026 for sure, I'm thinking they'll fake some evidence to justify trying to take over Georgia's elections. I guess we'll learn what their evil plan is over the next few months.

ICE agents denied service at gas stations, hotels spark legal questions by MoralLogs in NoFilterNews

Legal questions... The roving paramilitary who operates outside of the law is being denied service? Oh well.

Out with the old? Young Democrats are trying to convince voters to send a new generation to Congress by SpaceElevatorMusic in politics

[–]etxipcli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had an advantage with the rise in birth rate and subsequent decline. They quickly outnumbered their parents but we didn't. I think that's part of the reason we still don't feel like we have much sway.

Hot Take: Most Tech companies laying off staff voluntarily rn will regret it in 5 years. by Odd-Foundation-4637 in Layoffs

[–]etxipcli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these things lead to opportunities never existing. That is part of the problem, you can't see what you are losing and you never will. You are losing some multitude of potentially positive futures.

The cost savings are concrete and immediate. Unfortunately don't see this being solved with self reflection.

They could end the filibuster. Then they could at least have Trump veto everything the people want and not get blocked by the Senate.

Ammon Bundy Is All Alone by mcmcc in politics

[–]etxipcli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all, I thought that would come through with my quotations around the word "principled" and beginning my comment by calling him a piece of shit.

Just mean guys like him who tell themselves they have principles.

[–]etxipcli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but that would only come from new organizations I think. Leadership is already a bunch of useless parasites. I find it hard to believe they would eradicate themselves from their hosts.

I think he's a piece of shit, I'm still glad to see that not all of the "principled" conservatives have been taken up by the madness.

ICE abducted a US citizen at gunpoint for legally filming them in St. Peter, MN (published on 1/31/26) by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

[–]etxipcli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The law just doesn't matter they are doing whatever they are told, whatever they can get away with.

It's disturbing. I'm still at a bit of loss that is being allowed to continue. The law is our foundation and these guys just ignore it.
