@stevechapman.bsky.social I think there was an organization from the 1950's thru the not too distant past that moved problem members out of one district into another and hid evidence. Could ICE be copying the Catholic church?

@stevechapman.bsky.social Calls for Closing ICE or jailing Christi Noem are pointless. But a call for body-cams, independent ICE shooting reviews, and methods review should be the priority for federal, state, and local courts. Jason Van Dyke was eventually tried and convicted.

@neilsteinberg.bsky.social Has anyone noted that Nicole Good was shot after an ICE cowboy crashed his car on a slippery Minneapolis street and jammed up his convoy leading to the confrontation that resulted in her death? If only Texas cowboys were not assigned as drivers on slippery, snowy streets.

@stevechapman.bsky.social Has anyone asked any former COPA officials about any of the ICE/Border Patrol/etc shootings? I don't get why the rules that apply to the Chicago PD don't apply to these shootings. I can't imagine any law enforcement group advising shooting a weapon in a scrum of officers.

@neilsteinberg.bsky.social I'm betting it would cost at least double what it cost to buy back the parking meter. So $2.5 billion. Don't think it will happen.

@stevechapman.bsky.social Any chance that Greenland's oversized appearance on the Mercator projection makes it seem more physically important than it is? Although it is 3x the size of Texas.

@stevechapman.bsky.social where is Tom Homan? Is he the only person in Trumpland paying a price for taking a bribe. He could be an expert advisor in Venezuela. Doesn't that economy run on greasing palms?

@stevechapman.bsky.social when a president or presidential candidate who survives an attempted assassination for they get counseling? Did Reagan or Trump get psych counseling. Don't you think they should? Trump's mental and physical health is shrouded in mystery. Probably most presidents

The question isn't whether Ukraine will sign a peace deal, it's whether Putin will.
One day, hopefully soon, an agreement to end the war that both Ukraine and Russia can accept will be found. That will be a moment of intense relief. Yet it will also have some awkward consequences econ.st/4pzE6Tg

But wait millionaires and billionaires will pay no taxes
Wake up America, the Trump tariffs are an attempt to change the taxation system. Trump wants to replace income tax with a broad based consumption tax. That will mean, people on low incomes, who spend most or all of their income on day to day survival will be hit hardest. Tariffs are a spending tax.

But wait millionaires and billionaires will pay no taxes
When Trump says tariffs will replace income taxes, does that mean billionaires won't pay any taxes, but I'll pay more for foreign cars and Canadian lumber for my house, etc? Is that a good deal?

If the tariffs were supposed to replace income tax, why is Trump talking about negotiating zero tariffs with many countries while also gutting the IRS and now the DOJ tax division? Where will the revenue come from?

Look at your next auto or home insurance bill
Americans paid $106.1 billion in tariff taxes.
It’s really simple. Either corporate profits went down which you’ll see in your 401(k) or merchandise costs more. Yesterday, paid $1.58 for fruit cocktail which cost $1.26 in April. Coffee $5.29 vs $4.26. It adds up to hundreds, ultimately thousands

@stevechapman.bsky.social On 60 minutes Pres Trump said that some people say there are 10 million illegal aliens in the country. He thinks it's closer to 25. So how is he going to know when the DHS is done? It's not like there's a master list. Just keep arresting people that look south american?

@stevechapman.bsky.social Watched WTTW show about Blago. I still don't understand why Blago was arrested the day before the sale of Obama'a senate seat was to be consummated. Was it because they worried the appointment couldn't be undone? Were they "protecting" the rumored recipient Jesse Jr?
