Milestones Toward an Authoritarian Government

The 60 Minutes CECOT story though was streamed in Canada. We either didn’t get the memo or don’t bow down to US censorship. Hopefully the latter.

I watched it. CBS is like whack a mole trying to get versions taken offline. If you look around you might find one that is still online.

I have no sympathy for CBS.

The documentary just recounts what we already know: the prison is a terrible place and the people sent there may not be guilty of their alleged crimes.

Is there a thread for federal judges look at actions that the administration is taking, say GTFO, you can’t do that! and then get overruled by SCOTUS? Although this case is still in the GTFO stage.

WH response to 60 Minutes episode: fire the producers.

New EO authorizing revocation of citizenship for naturalized citizens who desecrate the flag. Ignoring that SCOTUS has said that flag burning is protected under the first amendment (Texas v. Johnson, reaffirmed in US v. Eichman after Congress tried to make flag burning illegal)

Today, my Administration is strongly defending the value of American citizenship and respect for the American Flag. Last summer, I signed an Executive Order to preserve the dignity of our Stars and Stripes, including by vigorously enforcing accountability for acts of Flag desecration tied to violence and lawlessness—because those who hate our Flag resent the history, heritage, and heroes it represents even more. We are also authorizing the revocation of visas, residency, and naturalization for foreign nationals who desecrate the banner under which millions of American heroes have fought and died. We will never again allow those who hate our country to openly disrespect our Flag—and we will never waver in defending the sacred heritage that unites the American people beneath its banner.

From what I read, Bari Weiss killed the story for the US branch but was too inexperienced to realize she also needed to order it killed in Canada. Thus, it continued and was aired.

Presumably, at least a few people realized the contradiction. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people along the line are sick of the administration/executive leadership directives.

100 million deportations means deporting a ton of US citizens. But coincidentally, 100 million is moderately close to the combined black and hispanic population (102 million).

So, all of America will look like… California??

It would be an improvement.

If I wanted to live in California, I wouldn’t have moved back to a state with weather

We just had our 1 foot of rain for the year(s) in the past couple of weeks. That’s weather!

That isn’t nearly the first time I’ve heard “100 million deportations”. Now that DHS picked up on it and broadcast it, it’s going to be a persistent part of the lexicon.

Does smoke count as weather?
