Good. Now everyone needs to call, email, or visit with their reps to get this passed - assuming they can force a vote. It will only take 4 republicans crossing the aisle in the house to impeach him yet again. Then we need to hound our Senators to get a conviction. That will be the hardest part because it'll take about 20 republicans to join all the democrats and independents to convict him.

So post an article about it and lets talk about it. I don't have time to watch long videos from sources I am unfamiliar with and don't know the quality of. That's why I come to this community where rule number one is, "Post only links to articles." There are other communities for political videos, memes, and discussion posts.

I'm not watching a 45 minute video to learn an answer that is painfully obviously probably. Trump is gutting our economy, driving off all our allies, and filling the military leadership ranks with incompetent yes men. Clearly starting a pointless war to consume all of our remaining resources is the next step.

Also, of course the military is preparing for a war with China. They prepare for war with literally everyone. It's kinda what they do.

“It is shameful” wrote an ICE spokesman who declined to be named in a Saturday morning statement, “that the Commonwealth Attorney, a sworn officer of the court and fellow law enforcement officer, has decided to prioritize politics over public safety"

Oh that is fucking rich coming from someone working for the Trump administration.

Not OP, but I did find this from a CBS affiliate which includes a statement they were given by ICE which seems to be the same.

"ICE and federal law enforcement partners coordinated a lawful arrest with the Albemarle General District Court of an illegally present, violent Honduran alien with multiple arrests for assault and battery as well as an outstanding order of protection against him. Two bystanders unsuccessfully attempted to obstruct enforcement efforts, and the U.S. Attorney's Office intends to prosecute those individuals.

Regrettably, the Albemarle County Commonwealth's Attorney is posturing for the media and attempting to disgrace the brave officers who made the lawful apprehension in coordination with his office, in an attempt to gain political capital.

ICE stands behind the actions of the law enforcement officers, who are trained to assess and prosecute apprehensions in a manner that best ensures operational success and public safety. It is shameful that the Commonwealth Attorney, a sworn officer of the court and fellow law enforcement officer, has decided to prioritize politics over public safety - placing a criminal's wellbeing above that of the brave women and men in law-enforcement, whom the Commonwealth Attorney took an oath to support."

It is very odd though that I didn't find any other coverage from what I would call a reliable source. Maybe it's just too new...?

Lovely term, that. What it really means is that the children were born in the United States of America and are therefore AMERICAN CITIZENS and have all the rights that all other American citizens have. The simple fact that you don't like that provision of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America is completely irrelevant. This is now at least four American citizens that have been illegally deported without being given any semblance of the due process that the very same Constitutional Amendment requires be given to all RESIDENTS (legal or otherwise) of the united states, including their allegedly undocumented mothers.

And, "in case no read" the link I've provided above, this will save you the effort of clicking. The relevant parts are highlighted for you too.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

ICE and Trump have clearly and unarguably violated the Constitutional rights of both the parents and children here.

Edit for clarity

LLM basically is trained to be good at fooling us into thinking it is intelligent, and it is very good at it.

That's a fascinating concept. An LLM is really just a specific kind of machine learning. Machine learning can be amazing. It can be used to create algorithms that can detect cancer, predict protein functions, or develop new chemical structures. An LLM is just an algorithm generated using machine learning that deceives people into thinking it's intelligent. That seem like a very accurate description to me.

Yep, We're all on the list. Some nearer the top. Some nearer the bottom. But we're all on it.

How many lawyers need to screw themselves over by using LLMs to write legal briefs before the others realize that doing so just might be a bad idea?

I mean, come on, people. There is no such thing as actual artificial "intelligence." There are programs that try to mimic intelligence like LLMs but they are not actually intelligent. These models are trained using data from all over the internet with no vetting as to accuracy. When the thing searches for legal cases to cite, it is just as likely to cite a fictional case from some story as it is to cite an actual case.

I just wish their ignorance only hurt themselves.

Good luck proving intent. The judge was, I'm sure, just following policy when someone tries to invade her courtroom.

There's more than one way to fasc, I guess.

Looks down at beard and moobs, shrugs

Okay, let's do this. I think I can role-play an orca. Sounds fun.

I hate fascism.

So he fought for Putin to invade Ukraine? That's some top tier thinking there.

Federal and local law enforcement officers smashed into multiple homes with weapons drawn, arrested students, seized electronic devices and vehicles just to investigate... vandalism.

"Is that wrong? Are we not supposed to do that?" - Republicans probably

...lewdly threatening him with a lie detector test.

Lewdly? I wouldn't call threatening to, hook someone up to a "fucking" polygraph, lewd. I mean, unless they have some really freaky polygraphs at the pentagon made for really hardcore games of Truth of Dare.

The DNC version of neutrality is blocking progressives. Sure they'll happily codify a rule that Hogg cannot help young progressives primary incumbents election while pretending it's about actually neutrality and letting the voters choose. But they'll be just as happy to throw that rule out when they want to support some Republican in sheep's clothing to kick out a progressive next time around.

That's probably because I'm essentially talking about MAGAts fantasizing about getting to use their 2nd Amendment rights.

...i wonder about the use scenario for all these weapons you guys own and i do not understand why besides having a fetish for weapons.

The vast majority of guns are owned by people who lean far, far right. The use scenario for most of them is a fantastical case where strangers with dark complexions threaten their homes and families and they suddenly turn into Rambo or the Punisher and then shoot all the bad guys.

Of course this never happens because these very people are honestly cowards who are too scared to go to the grocery store with their weapon. If something really dangerous happens you'd better not be between them and the nearest exit because they will shoot you if you block them while they're running away. Well, unless you're armed. In that case, they'll run from you too.
