  • Trump Administration Deploying More Border Patrol Agents to Minnesota | More than 100 agents will be redirected from other cities after the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by an ICE officer.

  • Sure, but they would have done it 8 months ago if they had an excuse. We didn’t give them one, and we made it 8 months more without an escalation to overt declaration of martial law.

    I can't agree, you're saying that they would have done it right after inauguration if U.S. citizens had given them an excuse, and that you've all made it that long without an escalation or martial law. The only part that I'll grant is the absence of marital law, there sure as shit has been an escalation, you have massive retaliatory deployments of taskforces and ICE across the nation in Democrat-leaning states/cities. They're conducting what would normally be considered legally questionable if not outright illegal surveillance, assaults, arrests/detentions/ deportations and killings of civilians. How you don't consider this a significant escalation escapes me.

    On the other hand, if fed up citizens react with violence, that permanently will normalize what’s happening right now.

    Speculation, pure and simple. It's your opinion and I'll grant you it, but I don't agree that it would have already happened day-one if it were going to happen at all, let alone that the current state of affairs would be permanently normalized simply because of the current POTUS and his lackeys. The lot of it is illegal, and clear abuses of constitutional/civil rights. Staying hands-off while the situation slowly worsens isn't a safe bet considering the guaranteed eventual loss of rights should that assumption prove correct - if you're going to lose them anyway, why wait?

  • There aren't any ancient ruins with crazy traps and riddles

    Jump

  • Technically there have been ruins and tombs with traps and riddles. Take a look at some of the info about the Curse of Tutankhamun's Tomb alone, including stuff like an anthropologist named Field having his house burn down, then flood after its rebuiling (purportedly because he had accepted a mummified hand as a paperweight which came with a cursed bracelet attached).

    Granted, there's no Myst or Tomb Raider-style tomb puzzles unless you count translations of ancient dialects used by the original architects/artisans/scribes/etc., but a lot of death has been associated with burial sites/tombs, whether or not you attribute them to curses or long-dormant mould being disturbed and breathed in...

  • I hear you, and I understand this rationale, but I keep feeling as though a lot of people are missing the subtext - they're going to do it anyway, they don't need any actual provocation to take those actions, they'll manufacture (not quite false flag, but in the ballpark) the scenario and narrative required to strip states, cities. and citizens of their rights.

    Conservatives and MAGA are salivating at the opportunity to gain the power needed to liquidate their ideological opponents.. Frankly, I'd be shocked if they don't do it, or at least give it the old college try.

  • US Senate advances war powers resolution to stop Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela

    Jump

  • Should the Senate approve the measure, it will need to pass the House and be signed by Trump.

    Well, that was a great idea, it's a good thing that the person it's designed to rein in can't simply nullify it with the stroke of a pen, right? /s

  • CBP massing in Minnesota? What's the deal, lots of people jumping the border in Grand Portage? /s

    Citizens are already sick and tired of ICE operations in Minneapolis, but sure, double down and pour more law enforcement into the area. What a fucking joke, not only should reinforcements be assigned from the National Guard, but even the mayor has said they're unwelcome. Go home Feds, and take your ball with you.

  • GTA's Ned Luke gets swatted for the 8th time while streaming with Red Dead's Rob Wiethoff: "there's so many douchebags out there, Rob"

    Jump

  • Let's be real, it's dumb even before someone gets killed. This is the human equivalent to a dog barking at birds/squirrels/rabbits/other dogs/the mailman that it can see through the front window of its house for the entirety of its life without reconciling that there's no need to kick up a fuss - how in the fuck have they not yet acknowledged that there is no actual reason to deploy SWAT teams? Who the fuck are these people? There's no threat to anyone, they know it, but continue calling it in and sending cops after it's happened this many times?

    Jump

  • Frankly, saying that it's unbelievable is no longer workable, it's been going on for far too long overall, and in this case for there to have been close to a dozen incidents without some recognition of the situation is unacceptable. It's going to continue until someone is killed, then a working group will be formed to draft a list of recommendations, which will ultimately be ignored. How are they not ashamed to be so shit at their own job, apparently unable to reconcile the very obvious scenario playing out in realtime; this could have been resolved in 10 minutes without deployment of SWAT, if he's broadcasting his gameplay live, worldwide over the web, the cops could literally pull up his stream and call him. This isn't some random unknown person, with a 911 call coming in about noise/domestic abuse/firearm discharge/someone screaming for help because they're getting murdered, they could literally see for themselves via an adult version of a nanny cam...

    "We're fucking halfwits, unable to resolve this situation by the normal, common sense means which anyone but Police would use. Embarrassing us with news coverage of our incompetence won't work either, you'll have to take us to court, win, obtain a settlement which will be paid by taxpayers instead of us, and we'll do it again anyways. Just try to stop us, we dare you, suing us just makes us mad because we're abusive, stupid little babies who can kick in your door, raid you with submachineguns and get away with it." -cops

  • Real talk, Big Think can cram this bullshit up their asses.

    I'm so sick and tired of having to humour these asinine Malthusian-rooted arguments against simply being alive in society, as if everyday people doing anything more than pulling air into their faces were an unwelcome imposition on the Earth - this, especially, given the scale of unchecked industrial/commercial pollution while industries continuously resist and derail efforts to regulate and sanction it.

    Granted, this kind of talk doesn't crop up every single day IRL, but it's starting to feel that way in online communities. Why the fuck are people allowing these hacks to make them feel guilty just for going about their lives, as though having a coffee or driving to see their family 500 miles away were equivalent to festooning themselves with skinned baby seals or crushing endangered leopard cubs underfoot? If global resources hadn't been so willfully, purposely mismanaged for 200+ years, we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. Now media talking heads want me to feel guilty for watching TV? They can fuck themselves with BR40 light bulbs.

  • Trump's new Greenland envoy intends to make territory 'a part of the US'

    Jump

  • The current American administration ignoring some of the best advice ever given to me by an Elder, "Don't go where you aren't welcome." Adding to this, Greenlanders, and Danes beyond this, are certainly not welcoming the idea that their homeland/territory should be absorbed by the United States of America. Their reputation as boorish tourists is rubbing off on their diplomacy as well, not a good idea.
