    ICE Arrests Thread

    I believe every random, masked poster who assertively posts "Sounds like....". Reference is the weed farm raid in Camarillio, a guy who climbed to a greenhouse roof and fell. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/us/immigration-raids-farmworker-death.html I guess the dangerous powers...

    Jefferey Epstein found dead in jail cell

    Yeah, and I thought the dead guy and the wounded looked like crisis actors from the Newtown shooting.

    Jefferey Epstein found dead in jail cell

    I disagree; you're asserting essentially that Trump has his hand up everyone's and they parrot. It isn't possible, and that's why you hire people to run their agencies. As AG, you don't imply the client list - not simply the Epstein case files - are on your desk and hooooo boy! - you're going...

    Jefferey Epstein found dead in jail cell

    You're right if we're defining 'modern' as Western or Western-adjacent. In Western society, the affluent sub-groups you termed them, still must be furtive to avoid punishment. In others, it's open and customary. The West isn't for everyone.

    An article quoted Glenn Beck saying: “Pam Bondi has created so much DOUBT and CHAOS in this whole thing. There’s no reason for all of this. either it’s a MASSIVE COVER-UP or she’s just FOULED IT UP,” Perfect summary; I don't see how she remains in place.

    That, and what fruit do you bite next from the tree of knowledge? If your positon or wealth allows consumption of anything you want, you don't have to settle for being content with normal. When your 'normal' is already exotic to 99% of people, what's next?

    Trade Wars and Tariffs

    Silly, baseless comment; tribalism would have me cheering the Japanese $1T investment deal instead of questioning why they're on the Aug 1 tariff list. I'd be touting the non-inflationary effect (thus far) instead of thinking that too, may be premature. You might question your own motivation...

    Trade Wars and Tariffs

    I think the primary error was promising 90 deals in 90 days, but I don't care about the 90-day timeframe. Or even necessarily 90 deals. This time next year and 45 deals that strategically and economically benefit the U.S. would be fine with me. That's what I "lend support to". I'm just not...

    Trade Wars and Tariffs

    An 'end justifies the means' statement typically implies sanctioning illicit actions; negotiating with adult leaders of other nations isn't that. You chose an odd term to characterize your dissatisfaction with his tariff actions. They overpromised on too short a timeline and have...

    Trade Wars and Tariffs

    If that's how you want to interpet my comments or Trump's economic goals as voiced by Bessent in the April interview, I see no point dissuading you.

    Trade Wars and Tariffs

    His strategy is the product of a team of capable public sector people, and publicly led by Scott Bessent as in the April interview by Carlson. This reminds me of elected Democrats talking about eschewing vaccines, as if Trump was in the WH basement cooking them up in test tubes himself...

    Trade Wars and Tariffs

    Negotiations are by nature malleable. If a different lane gets you to your destination when others are impassable, as a rational person you'll take that lane. Regardless of what timelines he projects for various initiatives, I'll take an end result that better the American position whenever he...

    Trade Wars and Tariffs

    I don't know it (Japanese exporters $ reductions) has to be sustainable; it can be multiple things at the same time. Exporters, importers, and consumers all having skin in the game even as we reduce dependencies with countries like China and align with other supplying nations, re-shore...

    Trade Wars and Tariffs

    It can also come from foreign exporters lowering prices Japanese carmakers slash export prices to U.S. to offset tariff hit It can also result in re-shoring or relocating production, and sourcing alternate suppliers. We should also perpetually seek to not further grow China; they stand in...
