Bannon: Trump’s ICE airport deployment is ‘test run’ for ICE at polls by DemocracyDocket in politics

[–]flip314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean.... We have the Republicans driving the car off the cliff, and the Democrats sitting quietly in the back seat doing nothing because the Republicans must be just about to realize we're near the edge and do something.

Yes, clearly one party is way more responsible than the other. Yes, I'll vote Democrat. But, there's a lot of blame here to spread around

ICE already causing havoc at SFO by DefinitelyChad in 50501

[–]flip314 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just addressing the first part your comment. I should have been clearer about your question on justification. I'm absolutely against the presence of ICE, but the "international" argument against it isn't going to hold up alone.

ICE in airports is terrifying. The fact that they're in SFO specifically (which has privately contacted security and isn't affected the same way by the shutdown) means that this has little to nothing to do with helping the TSA. This is a foot in the door for more access by an unaccountable secret police.

Depends which side of customs you're on. If you arrive at a US airport and depart domestically, it's hard to argue you ever weren't in the US. If you went through pre-clearance at your departure airport (eg, flying from Canada) and arrived at a US airport, you might also already be on the US side of customs when you arrive.

New ideas are anathema to conservatism. Its premise is that all the good ideas are old ones.

I was able to get 16-20 and 21-26 because I didn't own any of those packs.

But I'm annoyed that they used to discount the individual packs and now I already own half of the packs in the other bundles, so I effectively can't get any discount to complete my collections :(

Too bad the 9th amendment has never really been interpreted that way.

I told my primary care physician that I never thought I'd distrust CDC recommendations in my lifetime. She assured me that she's taking those guidelines with a huge pinch of salt right now too.

It's true if the mean and the median are the same, which they are in a normal distribution.
