We are going to see a lot of ppl claiming, understandably, that the BBB has now provided Trump w a massive ICE army.
That is incorrect.
It has provided him with the funds to TRY.
A 2017 DHS-OIG report said ICE would need to interview 500,000 ppl to get 10,000 new hires.
Not easy!

The overarching point to this thread and the threads of mine nested in it (sorry abt that) is this:
This is a poorly-designed proposal made by ppl w no interest in even cosplaying as serious policy makers.
Fascism on the cheap by the indifferent.
That does NOT mean be complacent!

The point is:
This seems important:
At a time when even the Feds struggle to fill their slots, even w better terms than the local police (who can’t fill their slots), the OBBB plan offers … the same terms as before.
The terms that have resulted in on-going staffing challenges.

in the history of the 21st century, the Biden presidency will be remembered as a footnote during the long Trump era. Stephen Miller, architect of this hell, will have shaped America more, in no small part because Biden, like Obama before him, left in place the infrastructure facilitating deportation

So here’s an additional stupid feature of “no tax on tips.” The Senate language applies only to “voluntary” tips which I’d read to exclude the increasingly common situation where a restaurant just automatically adds a 20% “service charge” that gets split among staff.

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

I am once again confronting the fact that over the course of a decade of being called a hysterical Elon Musk hater I never came close to imagining the depth of evil he was actually capable of.
Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.
Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

ICE will have a budget greater than the Ukrainian armed forces in 2024.
Let me repeat that. The Republicans are willing to pay more than entire military budget of the Ukrainians to round up people into camps and deport them into a Gulag.
ICE would be the 8th most well funded military on Earth.
