Like I don't see a way back if it's so easy to just grab protestors, kidnap them across state lines, and release them when they feel like it. And local officials just shrug at it. That's truly a step before gulag territory, for citizens. You end up with a culture of bribes to get your family out.

I don't have a law degree or history degree or any degree.

So my pedestrian prediction is if the post-Constitutional arresting and kidnapping of people (particularly citizens) by DHS keeps going without state and city municipal pushback, that's it. That's a wrap.

There are so many obvious constitutional violations in this story. It is enraging.
There is no war, there is no foreign invasion, there is nothing that justify it. This is a choice to create a military presence that will brutalize residents of cities that do not support the President.

I'm not even a nationalist, I just don't think there's longevity in bailing out crypto losers while your voters starve, it's awkward.

"Over the 12 months ended in August, the price of coffee increased 20.9%, Labor Department data showed; ground beef was up 12.8%, and bananas rose 6.6%. Dairy, fruits and vegetables and cereals have all become pricier."

Grocery Prices Keep Rising. Frustrated Consumers Are Trying to Adapt.

Record beef prices and coffee that costs $1 more per pound since May have shoppers cutting back on some foods, stockpiling others.

So Nazis. They want to give refugee status to Nazis.

OK, maybe not JUST Nazis. Also certain other white people who hate non-white immigration. But Nazis can definitely come.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

The proposals also advise Mr. Trump to prioritize Europeans who have been “targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for ‘populist’ political parties.”

That appeared to be a reference to the European far-right political party Alternative for Germany, whose leaders have trivialized the Holocaust, revived Nazi slogans and denigrated foreigners. Vice President JD Vance has criticized Germany for trying to suppress the views of the group, which is known as the AfD.
