The leader of Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that his dream for the agency is squads of trucks rounding up immigrants for deportation the same way that Amazon trucks crisscross American cities delivering packages.
“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said, explaining he wants to see a deportation process “like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.”


Im sure this will be fine

BARTIROMO: Increasingly people are expecting we're heading for a recession. I spoke with a CEO over the wknd, he said we're already in one. So how do you deal with that?
BESSENT: What the CEO may have alluded to is that the manufacturing sector under the previous administration was in a recession.

I’m not a religious guy but these people sure love to ignore all the passages in their Bible about how migrants and foreigners are to be treated.

Season 7 of Black Mirror comes out tomorrow. But hey we’re living a lot of that now.

Brooker won’t have to look far for Season 8 inspiration.

"We need to get better at treating this like a business", or in other words get better at dehumanizing the people we don't like so we can stuff them into cattle cars like cords of wood.

JFC these people are evil.

Sounds like something Heinrich Himmler would have said.

Jesus...what a tumultuous last couple of weeks. Here is a perfect summary to date.



I honestly just have to check out of the news cycle and hope that it all works out for the best. Just absolute chaos.

Well, losing one's clearance for leaking classified information and then being under investigation for that isn't authoritarian itself, but announcing it at a press conference is definitely weird...

Both Krebs and Taylor didn't kiss the ring, Krebs came out publicly to say the 2020 election was not rigged, Taylor wrote books detailing what was going on inside the White House.....and then he also endorsed Biden.

Trump's own people recently texted a journalist classified info in a group chat before dropping bombs............and nothing happened to them.

This has nothing to do with leaking info or anything of the sort. It's about payback - full stop. You don't kiss the ring? He'll come after you. Using the DOJ to go after these guys is insane. It's all a show and a warning to others. Going down a very dark path.

I always knew ultra rich white boomers pretending to be conservatives were going to destroy American democracy.

I just didn’t think they would be such losers.
