That is a sure way to end up dead.

It's a tough call honestly. So far it doesn't seem like they are killing the people they take. If the person was armed, and tries to use it to defend themselves, they very likely will get killed. As other have commented, these appear to be basically thugs. Likely with less training then police officers, and certainly with less oversight. So people need to choose what they want to avoid most. Death, or incarceration with a chance of getting out. I would hate to have to make that choice myself.

More than free, easily accessible. I would argue access is probably more important. And with better access to getting an id should be better access to government assistance for people who need it. But I know... I must be a dirty socialist or something. Cause empathy is our greatest weakness.

Doesn't matter what you do, Republicans will claim some BS and their voters will believe it. Let's just do things because it is the right thing to do.

And probably jntetest.

Yes and no. The issue is really with the difficulty and time it takes to get these ids. Not to mention the expense. The poorer a person is, the less likely they are to have the correct id. And make no mistake, the Republicans know this, and they know that poor people favor democrats. Same with mail in voters. So their effort to make this rule is not one of common sense, but stratrgic value. They are just trying to put up obstacles that making voting hardrr for people who don't vote from them.

And really, what should be addressed is the difficulty of getting id. But noone wants to pay for that. This causes some people to have to travel significant distances on our meager public transit system which can take many hours to go 15 miles. And again, the poorer a person is, the less likely they are to have a car to drive, or the money to uber, or the time away from work to get to these places and even attempt to get the id.

The people spending long hours working to challenge his illegal efforts in court are who is stopping him. And they are winning, a lot. But courts take time, so trump uses the gap to cause chaos and slip in a few illegal actions.

Thanks to them, in the long term trumps presidency will cost many X more then any savings it is claiming. There will be tons of payouts to federal employees, legal expenses, and the cost of putting back together what he has damaged or destroyed.

All that aside, I don’t here people saying don't worry. I see them saying that his team and his efforts are incompetent attempts to garner attention. Essentially they are just saying that this crew is idiots.

You assume there is only one way to fight back...

Number 2 is the only one that can write effectively on wood. I may not build a lot, but when I have tried to use a mechanical pencil for marking wood, it was a total fail.

The fact that the law exists tells you that the legislature never cared about our opinions at any point. Anyone who does and runs for office is scuttled by the major parties to ensure we don't get that choice.

But her emails...

Trump/Elon Infatuation Syndrome (TIS)?

The insurance fraud due to the vehicles declining value almost seems like something elon would order done. Lol

This may be our time.

No child deserves that. But given who they would have had to grow up with, they may have dodged a bullet of sorts.

Y'all better start learning to garden. The crops are going to be rotting in the fields this year. And no country is going to be interested in shipping any in. Ya know, tarrifs and friendly with russia and such.

People keep saying his administration ignores the courts completely. But this is another case where they chose not to openly defy the courts. They push the line as much as they can, but they seem unwilling to blatantly cross it.

Others have speculated that she was just to honest with the boarder staff. And just told them what she was doing. Probably didn't even know it was against the terms of her visa. But remember, Elon says empathy is our greatest weakness. Doesn't seem to be much of that in ICE.

These weren't "friends" houses. I personally think there should be some kind of visa for this. I just don't like how media headlines continue to get worse. The BBC has been better than most.

The fun thing is that authority over education is already in the hands of the states. And I bet that ED is already understaffed, so they probably can't ensure the things in the last line if they fire people. All that makes the order effectively already met.
