Let the deportations begin?

[Rogar]

Deportations are nothing new. One can look up the exact numbers, but there is speculation Obama deported more that Trump in his first term. It does seem like Biden might have been thinking about it but fell asleep. I'm thinking there is a possibility that Trump will start out strong on the issue, and much like his other promises will peter out quickly, just like his lame attempt to build the medieval wall. There will be legal challenges. The ACLU says they've been preparing for this possibility for over a year. Trump may have the courts in his back pocket but it will at least clog things up in the system.

To deport such a large part of the work force just doesn't make good business sense (or any other good sense) and is also probably bad for golf course maintenance.

The upper middle class straight white old person privilege they display is galling to say the least.

You forgot “neurotypical”.

Denver is a sanctuary city and the city's mayor has been featured in the news lately saying he would not cooperate with the deportations and would resist any use of the military. The new deportation czar, whose name I've missed, says he would send the mayor to jail if he didn't cooperate. And the mayor said he would go to jail if it came to that. I've not see anything in the news about how other sanctuary cities are reacting, but it's early.

I've seen where Texas has offered 1400 acres to Trump for a detention facility. From my brief excursions into Texas, that's not any big deal.

I like what Tom Homan said on the matter: “If he’s willing to go, I’m willing to send him”. I did hear that the mayor walked back his promise to oppose the feds with local cops.

It looks like there will be an overabundance of histrionics concerning illegal immigration over the next year or two.

I want Rachel Maddow to cry again over deportation. I wonder if that kind of performative nonverbal commentary is written into her contract.

She had to take a $5 million pay cut due to declining business at MSNBC .

Lazarus wrote the poem in 1883 to raise money for the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty. In 1880, immigrants represented 13.3% of the US population. In 2023, they represented 14.3% of the US population.

I want to circle back to this statistic and thank you for it because that puts legal immigration into perspective. I mean, I think we’re talking about legal immigrants here?

Getting a handle on the number of people here in the United States illegally is difficult and I don’t even know how they would’ve counted that back in 1880.

Joe Rogan told Elon Musk that if he buys MSNBC he’d be happy to take Maddow’s job. He said he’d even wear the same glasses and tell the same lies. I think he was kidding, though. That would represent a significant pay cut from what he’s making now.

I imagine Elon gets some ego building by expressing how powerful his riches are. I think he is basically motivated by insecurity. Maybe Bezos will buy Fox.

Rogan is having fun with the ladies of The View.. One of them claimed Joe Rogan believes in dragons. This was immediately following her statement praising her own crew on The View for being serious journalists who never tell lies. That was in the same segment where Sunny what’s her name had to read a “ legal note” Correcting some lie she had told earlier about Matt Gaetz. I’m not making this up! These people are nuts.

so Rogan immediately changed his Twitter byline to “believer in dragons” and he is riffing on this new identity quite a bit.

When Old Lady Legacy media goes after new media, it’s never a good outcome for the old lady.
