This administration is filled with the absolute dumbest, meanest, cruelest pieces of shit.
And they're so *proud* to be dumb, mean, cruel pieces of shit too. They delight in it. They brag about it.
It's vice signaling as a way of life.

Obviously, the top denaturalization priority should be Elon Musk, who constantly breaks the law (including the ongoing poisoning of Memphis), promotes bigotry and extremism, and lied during his naturalization by falsely claiming he had never been in the U.S. unlawfully.
And yet, I doubt it will be.
And yet, I doubt it will be.
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

The brilliant concept here is "finding a way to get users to consent to constant tracking and recording so their data can be sold to advertisers, collection agencies, scammers, and the government." It will provide negative value to every single person who owns one.
“The product will be capable of being fully aware of a user’s surroundings and life, will be unobtrusive, able to rest in one’s pocket or on one’s desk, and will be a third core device a person would put on a desk after a MacBook Pro and an iPhone.” 🫠

Race animates a lot of ICE/CBP, but I can't stress enough how—as with all law enforcement—a key factor is sheer *laziness*.
They're not tracking down drug gangs, they're going for the easiest targets they can find. Official hearings (citizenship, court, etc) are fish in a barrel to run numbers up.

“Shared sacrifice” is not very Trumpian. Should be “more for me,less for you”.
OK, who voted for "shared sacrifice?"

Using "recently deputized" ICE agents who don't follow procedure and perform arrests in plainclothes wearing masks and refuse to show badges is a great way to generate a violent situation.
It's only a matter of time before these cowboys encounter "stand your ground" and it'll be 100% their fault.
