I hope they'll be putting those residents to work to pay for their bed and board. After all, it's the American way.

mmmh, concentration camp where the inmates are made to work, that's not the American way, that's the Soviet gulag or the fascist way (which of course is also the way of the frump)

Nope. That's the US carceral system.

The way I see it we will be in a full blown civil crisis if the GOP holds or expands its Congressional power in the midterms because that will mean the election was fully heisted and rigged. Trump knows he’s doomed. We know he’s doomed. Political scientists know he’s doomed. Pollsters know he’s doomed. Fox knows he’s doomed. The parties know he’s doomed. MAGA don’t have the votes, as it’s sung in Hamilton. The only outcomes are severe beating and hellacious beating.

I had TWO Kid Rock tickets on my dashboard and someone smashed my car window and put two more on there. Why are people so evil?

It's a twist on the old accordion joke.

Trump is going to have to deport the UN to Switzerland. it's not behaving.

DEVELOPING: UN experts stated yesterday that the systematic atrocities in the Epstein files may legally constitute crimes against humanity, accusing the DOJ of "compliance failures" that continue to protect the wealthy.
With millions of pages still withheld, bipartisan lawmakers are threatening to hold the Attorney General in contempt, warning that current redactions are designed to obscure a global criminal enterprise.

BETHESDA, MARYLAND—Kash Patel was rushed to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday after suffering what an FBI spokesman called the “severe trauma” of flying coach.
Patel had been planning to take the FBI’s Gulfstream G550 jet to a date-night rendezvous with his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, but balked when he saw Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the cockpit controls.
Booked onto a Spirit Airlines flight instead, Patel was reportedly already in a state of acute distress when a baby seated next to him projectile vomited on his signature FBI raid jacket.
A just-released New York Times/Siena College poll shows Patel’s job approval at 13 percent, and the baby’s at 89 percent.

REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN IN POWER IN TEXAS SINCE 1995, TWENTY SEVEN YEARS!
ALL OF THEIR ADS ARE SAYING "VOTE FOR US SO WE CAN FIX EVERYTHING THAT IS BROKEN IN TEXAS
AGAIN, THESE BOZOS HAVE BEEN IN POWER FOR 27 YEARS AND FIXED ZERO.

At the state level, they never got a proper power grid. Ted Cruz went on vacation when the powr went out.

"But it's too expensive." And the MAGA guy buys a a generator at Home Depot.

The Trump administration is moving to arrest thousands of people already legally admitted to the US as refugees and detain them indefinitely for aggressive “rescreening”, a report published on Thursday said.

Under the new policy, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that federal immigration officers can and should arrest anyone who has not yet obtained the right to permanent residence, a so-called green card, and subject them to interviews to assess their refugee claims while they are in custody, as first reported by the Washington Post.

The memo reverses a 2010 Obama administration policy that said failure to apply for a green card within a year of admission to the US was insufficient basis for such an arrest or detention, the newspaper reported.

The DHS move is pertinent to an ongoing case in Minneapolis in which a federal judge last month blocked the Trump administration from further arrests of settled refugees in Minnesota, and ordered the release of at least 100 more arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

. US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) plans to spend an estimated $38.3bn to buy and retrofit warehouses across the country as detention centers for tens of thousands of people, it was reported last week.

Something to do with NY Mayor inspired congressman to post on Americans owning dogs, as opposed to Muslims owning dogs

Congressman Randy Fine

@RepFine
I am proud to introduce the Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act.

Democrats are losing their minds because I made a simple statement—given a choice between our dogs and those who would ban them, the choice is easy.

They can pound sand.

This bill will ban federal funds to any ...

Fine’s social media post from Sunday read: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

He also posted a screenshot of a post from pro-Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani from last week in which she said: “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”

Fine is from Florida.
