Every illegal needs a place to stay.

So, they either rent a place or get subsidies for mortgages.

That's an upward pressure on rents and housing prices.

Make it tens of millions of people, and it's a very big upward pressure on rents and housing prices.

Every one of the stories about those deported to the south furiously avoid ever mentioning that each and every one of them was in the country illegally.

That alone is enough of a crime to remove them with minimal due process.
That is:
"Show your visa or green card."
"I don't have one"
"Out you go."

I'm getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the notion that merely placing even one toe on American soil magically grants anyone the right to full citizenship.

Possibly because deporting criminals is an 80-20 win. Other things you mentioned risk raising the whole pity counterarguments which due to sob stories is probably more like a 55-45 argument.

In argumentation, always lead with your best point to win the audience. Then build the argument that id theft and benefit theft from that are crimes too. Deport them, and so on.

Posted by: whig at April 03, 2025 12:38 PM (ctrM5)

78 This is moving Overton Windows. Now let SCOTUS rule that they can't be efficiently deported.

Reminds me of Will Ferrell and Ron Burgundy, which was inspired by the crazy antics of the NYC ABC Eyewitness News team. In real life the weatherman Tex Antoine was always drunk or high when he did his segment.

After a colleague reported on a 13-year old being raped, it was "now over to Tex" who said "Confucious say: If you can't stop it, lie back and enjoy it!"

A very good reason for the Separation of Church and State. The States purpose is to provide justice and maintain peace and order for its citizens. The State is a thing, not a person, and should be under no theological constraints insofar that it does its duty well. (I note that a State that acts in evil and destructive ways is wrong because it is violating its prime duty to its citizens)

Texas has gotten bluer over the past ten years, going from Trump +9 to Trump +14.

All while there are indications that establishment forces like Cornyn have lost massive support within the party.

Again, it's not generally progressives moving to Texas. It's conservatives who have given up on blue states.

There are other states to worry about.

180 Ellen Page was always good looking in an approachable way. I liked her.

This new whatever-it-is desecrates what she was.


She was groomed and used in Hollywood.

I assume the thought process is now as a man she can't be hurt by those producters/directors any more.

Which isn't actually true, plenty of young male stars went through the casting couch routine as well, but I can see why a woman would think so.

IIRC, she was viciously pursued if not sexually abused as a minor on at least one of the the X men sets. I believe that this sort of self-mutilation is a subconscious defense mechanism to discourage such attention. And now she is spending the rest of her life in a vain attempt to convince herself an everyone around her that it was a conscious choice that she is happy about.

199 Trump admin threatens to pull ABC's broadcast license over Disney's DEI practices. “If the evidence does in fact play out and shows that they were engaged in race- and gender-based discrimination, that’s a very serious issue at the FCC, that could fundamentally go to their character qualifications to even hold a license,” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said in an interview on Monday.

Another manifestation of the fascist Trump regime - using the authority of the state to silence the press because it refuses to conform to a dictator’s capricious whims.

Since ABC already caved-in once because they didn't like what stephanopoulos said, I am not particularly confident that ABC will NOT still bend the knee to the orange king and his fascist regime. What they should do is take this to the f**king supreme court. Who the f**k does this ignoramus in the WH think he is.

Where are the republicans who have been bleating about governmental overreach? That's a rhetorical question.

Almost anyone can become a big named actor if they have a few good roles under their belt and some studio help.

But no, she proved me wrong by playing that same character in everything she's done since then.

Actually to break the other country's tariffs, you have to raise yours. Basic game theory.

Once you accept that the attitudinal model of judicial behavior exists and explains most judicial decisions, the rest becomes relatively easy. You get more legal constraints added to the equation at the lower level but the entire judicial system is prone to principal agent defection so you get stupid rulings from stupid judges in line with their underlying attitudes, you get shady rulings from smarter judges that try to maximize their attitudes while not getting their pee pee whacked by a higher court's gavel, and so on.

Actually to break the other country's tariffs, you have to raise yours. Basic game theory.

Tariff supporters need to settle on a cases belli. Are the tariffs to bring back American manufacturing? Are they to replace the income tax with tariff revenue? Or are they to equalize international trade?

Because it can't be all three, at least two of those are mutually exclusive. If we manufactuire everything here in America then there will be no tariff revenue to collect, which means a different funding mechanism for the government will have to discovered.

There's a reason why there are tariffs on US goods. Domestic food producers, energy producers, and others are protected from US competition. Universal health care and farm subsidies are on the line. There's already pressure in the EU for generous retirement and pension benefits to be rescinded.

When you are the primary player, it makes sense to not reveal your hole card. We are now in the bilateral negotiation stage where the weaker players are likely to fold quickly but the others like the EU are likely to raise stakes.

The first circumstance to raise revenue to replace US spending has to deal with the present existence and reliance on income tax as the major revenue source--give the present Congress more revenue, then you simply get all of it pissed away. So that is more a long term project.

The Second, Trump has already demanded that basic nat sec industry production be onshored--energy, steel, aluminum, car production, tech, etc. and will continue to do so.

The third circumstance depends on other players and their analysis of their own markets and economy needs. Basing your economy on mercantilism always risks someone calling you on your behavior. That is what is happening now.

Easier to say that most nations, more or less, rely on mercantilism by exporting more than they take in and the US has accepted that in order for nat sec priorities from the Cold War and reserve currency status which increases 'soft power'.
