Nazi Pepes and grifter Nazis are depressed because electing Trump hasn't improved their lives, he's a joke, and he's not fascist enough. They've become nihilistic because they think the left will take over the world and enforce white genocide. Some have abandoned Trump and moved on to Yang so they can get $1000 a month to play video games - they have nothing else to hope for so they might as well get some money - and others have tried to embrace the absurdity of the world in a cringeworthy Joker way, by becoming clowns. It's mixed up with going out in a blaze of glory and idolizing spree shooters because :matters: .

I think that's it. It's loving stupid.

I hope the next stupid thing these fuckers all do is decide to become ascetic monks and cut their internet connections. They hate themselves and their lives so much that they're barely even trying to cover up that they're attacking minorities exclusively because they feel like little losers.

That thumb drive was almost certainly using an exploit called BadUSB (https://hackaday.com/tag/badusb/) that's an issue that can own pretty much anyone no matter how careful they think they're being--even plugging it in to an airgapped PC and trying to attach it to a VM will own the host computer. The issue is that 20-30 years ago when USB was added to operating systems they made the brilliant design decision that of course all hardware like keyboards and mice should always be trusted and immediately accessible to the user. Surely no one would create a nefarious keyboard that quickly types in commands to open a terminal and install a rootkit! :suicide: Nowadays you can cram a BadUSB attack into a tiny microcontroller that's small enough to hide directly in the USB connector itself, so you literally cannot trust any USB cable you plug into your computer.

I don't think these two narratives/stories are mutually exclusive. One story says that they were anticipating firings for weeks, the other story going around is that Trump demanded Nielsen close the borders weeks ago and got angry when she said she couldn't. Both narratives fit together into one narrative where Trump has been getting angrier and more frantic about the border, demanding things that are illegal and/or impossible, and getting ready to fire those who he sees as standing in his way.

Best part is that no matter how angrily he demands it be done it doesn't get any less illegal and any lower court judge with a brain will rule against him.

The roadblock remains the same as when Nielsen rejected the idea. Its illegal and perhaps more importantly impractical. Trump might find someone willing to agree to do it but he has to find someone who can actually figure out HOW to do it.

So short of a whole lot of people deciding its a good idea to have US soldiers creating firing lines of men, women, and children on the border in front of CNN and MSNBC cameras I still think its just bluster.

I might be in the minority here, but numerical restriction of immigration should not actually be a given. Our immigration discourse is, of course, heavily shaded by The Johnson Reed act of 1924, as well as the immigration act of 1965. But, in fact, there was a time when America did not have numerical restrictions on immigration. We had other restrictions before 1924 of course, the racist exclusion of Chinese immigrants for example. But conceding that we can't open borders to everyone is wrong. We could. And ethically we should.

I am not saying we should have no immigration process. I am perfectly fine excluding violent racists/fascists. But that is much different than numerical restriction.

Edit: Mae Ngai's book Impossible Subjects is an excellent book on the history American immigration law and on the invention of 'illegal immigration.'

I don't think he would go that far. My guess is he is pushing trump for ban on all asylum seekers(in general but for now from the southern border) and probably closing the border and tariffs toward mexico and central america. also other more openly nazi poo poo.

We should expand legal immigration while continuing to discourage illegal immigration. Trump's trying to get rid of both because he doesn't want foreign poor brown people here regardless of how they arrived.

The United States is looking at a world of pain if we don't make more baby making immigrants into citizens. By the time we see how hosed Japan is, it'll probably be too late.

If the border agents he directly told to violate the law were then immediately told by their supervisors "don't violate the law", then I'm not sure this day ever comes. I mean, unless he literally starts firing everyone right down to the last border agent that's left of the Kaiser.

I remember fourth grade civics class, when we learned that one branch of government wrote the laws, one branch interprets the laws, and one branch enforces the laws, and that I thought to myself that the "enforces the laws" branch with all of their guns and cops/soldiers didn't seem very checked-and-balanced like was claimed.
