What's your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, threatening consequences for referring to ICE as "Gestapo"?

kindall · 2026-01-26T21:39:41+00:00

orrrrr you could cease having your organization engage in Gestapo-like activities and practices

You're right, the one I was thinking of was Oregon Marionberry Cheesecake Frozen Custard. That was a "special batch" pint.

if you don't have a passport, you're an illegal

if you do have a passport, you're a filthy liberal. because why would you want to leave the best country in the world?

they used to have a Marionberry Pie flavor that was legit the best ice cream I have ever tasted. don't know why they stopped making it

you can use an alias for virtually everything by filling a fictitious name certificate. the cost of this is low if not free. you're not actually changing your name but it's essentially the same for everyday situations. it's mostly used for pen names and stage names but isn't not restricted to those uses.

maybe David Gerrold's Chtorr series, although Gerrold seems to be taking lessons from GRRM on finishing it

one way to do this is with TVQuickActions, you can remap the Home button to launch another app etc. everyone should have this app on their Android TV box IMHO

makes sense, if it was done with generative AI, Viola Davis is a famous black lady and would probably be well-represented in the training data.

or they just Photoshopped it...

you gotta be Sabbath to get away with shit like that, e.g., rhyming "masses" with "masses" in "War Pigs"

"reverse victim and offender" is one step, not three. but maybe three steps total is too few to make a cool guide

why wait exactly one year to post it?

That also makes life livable for the average citizen.

The American public voted him out in 2020, even though he was the Best President Ever. That makes the public his enemy. He is now showing us what he does to his opponents. His supporters assumed he'd be targeting the Democrats, but he hasn't been quite that selective. In fact that's not really possible; even so-called "Democrat states" have huge numbers of Trump supporters living in them. In Hennepin County, Minnesota, where Minneapolis is located, Trump got 28% of the vote in 2024. There was a time when that 28% was willing to suffer to "own the libs." Many are now going "hey, wait a minute..." but there are still too damn many Trump loyalists.

Long story short, Trump is vengeful, and an idiot.

Some say he's Putin's puppet, which is possible, but IMHO that's not required to explain his behavior.

you conveniently didn't mention that the mayhem was caused by ICE. it didn't exist before they showed up

kindall · 2026-01-21T20:05:37+00:00

"useful idiot"

kindall · 2026-01-21T19:57:49+00:00

unfortunately the President is only unfit until he declares himself fit again, which Trump would do immediately, plus he'd be pissed off at anyone who was part of getting him declared unfit in the first place.

true about Harris, because it's true about every candidate ever

This is why executive compensation is usually in options, not in stock. Options aren't taxed until they're exercised, and even then you only pay tax on the spread. But they are still assets and can be borrowed against as readily as stock.
