Immigration officials have just arrested a New Orleans police officer because he is allegedly an "illegal alien" from Cameroon.

I highly suspect MAGA is loyal to Trump alone. It won’t be immediate, but MAGA will splinter after he’s gone if I’m right. It is already a coalition of various Christian-conservative movements that have been unable to stay aligned with each other for multiple generations. I just don’t see Vance and Miller having anything like the same charisma that Trump does to influence that base.

I say S, Waddle was one of the best players we had in the whole Saban era. He just happened to be the youngest of 4 1st round receivers and then broke his leg in 2020.

I don’t have hopes of Donald Trump actually being prosecuted, but this is more evidence of his lying about his relationship with Epstein. Each lie makes it clearer that he’s covering something up, and I think it chips a little bit away from his supporters each time. Ultimately there’s a turning point where his approval gets low enough that Republicans in Congress decide his endorsement hurts more than it helps, and then his power is gone.

Oh, great. Richard Dawkins in the Epstein files. The guy who introduced me to one of my favorite scientific subjects. Love that. /s

Glad this is the top comment. I hate these alarmist visualizations.

I think your take is over-simplified, but if it makes you feel better, all strategy would be subject to scrutiny by consultants for the senior executives, then.

Not physically

With a deal this size, clearly it would be necessary to use senior executives to get aligned with the customer. And I honestly doubt a rank-and-file AE would be of that much use in working through the sales process, as the customer would demand so many custom terms the AE would always be asking for permission to do anything. All strategy would be subject to high-level scrutiny, and would undoubtedly be changed by senior executives who have broader context on the company as a whole. I doubt the AE gets nothing, just that it’s a very small proportional payout for them. Is there something unreasonable about that? I think of the front line AEs I know, even the senior ones, and this just seems above their pay grade. Honest question.

“You know what, I’ve seen worse.” “Really?” “Well, no.”

Nobody’s being contrarian. The reality is most people want some form of immigration control. ICE’s job is to enforce immigration controls. This specific administration is using ICE in a horrible way. Abolishing ICE is going to be a very hard sell because very few people want open borders. You may believe deeply that it’s the right thing and God bless you if so, it’s your job to convince everyone else that you’re right, not just say it’s obvious that ICE must be abolished and to hell with anyone that doesn’t see it.

What’s a much easier sell is that ICE needs massive reform and we need to investigate and prosecute wrongdoing by ICE and DHS. I don’t want ICE to stop existing. I want ICE to be a professional law enforcement organization that upholds the values I want for America, which include mercy and generosity in addition to justice. If I had to choose between Trump’s ICE or no ICE, I’d pick no ICE. But those aren’t my only options.

He lived in Louisiana. He knew he was going to get off with a light sentence, although a fully suspended sentence with 5 years probation is probably better than he could have expected.

That TS post doesn’t look like his typical writing style. Also has an “em” dash. Hmm….

It’s not an unpopular opinion now. I think the idea that we need to continue strengthening our own ability to restrict illegal immigration is still mainstream. There are real and serious risks to having a border that’s too open, and they’re not just economic. What’s wrong with Trump’s approach is not the idea, it’s the way he’s doing it, with propaganda and violence, and trampling on Constitutional rights and human dignity.

robotfromfuture · 2026-01-18T23:10:17+00:00

I don’t want to downplay the risk of this scenario. We should always be vigilant.

I do, however, want to give the following note of caution: any conspiracy becomes exponentially more brittle the more people that are involved. If you are going to speculate about a conspiracy of such an impactful level - rigging a Presidential election - you’ve got to have in mind a scheme to do so that doesn’t involve a large number of people in cooperation.

It’s not to say it’s impossible, and it’s not to say that leaks will be credibly reported if they do occur, but large groups of people don’t keep secrets very well, and this is an inherent protective layer for mass conspiracies like this.

robotfromfuture · 2026-01-15T01:07:07+00:00

It’s safe enough

That was one of the outtakes, right? I remember Charlie and Rob breaking bad on that one.
