Miller is waiting for the excuse with plans already made preemptively, I'm sure, the fucking Nazi worm.

Why change? It does the job. The cable doesn't need to pass audio or video, doesn't need to pass fast charge power, and sure as hell doesn't need 80Gbps data transfer speeds... the bottleneck will always be the print function itself. Usb-c would be overkill. And Usb-b is made to be secured to prevent accidental disconnection for devices that typically dont move like printers and scanners, unlike Usb-c which is made for repeated insertions and easy release for devices like smart phones. Only reason the connector might change in the future is if they either start adding stupid features to printers or if it simply becomes cheaper to support newer standards.

"Look at all these immigrants!" salivates, rubs hands together villainously

So we're really just dropping the pretense that their scope of authority and responsibility is immigration enforcement, huh? They're just Trump's new personal militia to do with as he pleases?

Except Stephen Miller, maybe.

I was about to say, Miller is a true fascist, racist cunt and is not apologetic about if. He'll go to his grave telling you he's superior to everyone. Hopefully the wait for that moment is brief.

My wife can bake (more or less), but cannot cook much else to save her life. She'll default to crackers, cheese and turkey slices for every meal, maaaaybe the occasional frozen pizza, if I don't cook. Also I'm a really good cook and I like my food, so... I'm making do the cooking.

Good time to remind everyone that ICE's authority is exclusively over immigration enforcement. They are not meant to have any authority over American citizens at all. They are not meant to have any authority to enforce any other laws or do crowd control. They are not meant to use chemical irritants, less than lethal weapons/ammunition, physical force, or actual firearms at all except as minimally necessary to defend themselves and others.

Trump, Miller, Noem, and Homan have unethically, fraudulently, and illegally empowered and protected them to turn them into this paramilitary force that is breaking up lawful protests and terrorizing, kidnapping, and killing the public whether they be citizen, legal resident, prospective refugee, a visa holder, or undocumented.

All of this is a violation of law and the creation of those four (and likely others), and one they continually defend and lie to cover rather than correct. These are unquestionably impeachable offenses for all 4 of them. Congress needs to do their jobs and hold the executive to account for violations of duty, law, and the public welfare. They should be removed from office and charged formally. This is not ok.

What was that finger doing in or near a protesters mouth? And what was the agent doing to the protester at that the time? If you're unlawfully beating or kidnapping me and I have no other defense, you better believe biting is an option. Keep your hands to yourself and you won't have this problem.

That's been true for a long time in police interactions. Possessing a firearm in public alone has been justification for detainment, arrest and use of force including lethal force countless times.

 

This is from the last election in 2020. How fun that it's still relevant!
