The last time the left got armed the police bombed the building in Philadelphia, in 1985. The police and ICE are way more violent now, so I’d wager it would happen again. With ICE’s new budget I assume we’ll see armored carriers and tanks rolling around sometime next year.

Even as an American I don’t understand why tourism hasn’t dropped more than it has. I know it’s down but I’m amazed people are still coming at all.

But, it’s true that the mainstream media isn’t really reporting on this, Trump’s ‘flood the zone’ strategy works exceedingly well.

I know politicians are spineless but the obvious solution seems to be to keep increasing the cost of using water until the data centers switched to a closed system. Don’t most nuclear power plants recycle most of the water they use?

Charging the data centers more would also be a nice increase in revenue for the local municipal area

I don’t get the news about these data centers guzzling water, where is the water going? If it’s for cooling, but that doesn’t destroy the water…

This has been the full steam ahead plan since Reagan at least. You can see the social programs and reforms done by LBJ in the late 60s and some of the things Nixon did like the EPA. If I’m not mistaken Nixon then flirted with a government healthcare Medicare for all plan but it didn’t get far.

Since then it’s just been naked class warfare, capitalist pillaging, and wealth accumulation for the 0.1%.

Is this from an app you download? This honestly looks like it would be fun to play around with.

If this company you worked with was an AWS deployment then it’s likely they used Q for the deployment, it’s pretty integrated into AWS and they hype it constantly.

I do love the potential of Trump throwing a deal at Maxwell to name Clinton in the Epstein files to finally ‘get’ the Clintons, only to them have it blow up in his face if Clinton then turned around and named Trump as being there as well. I don’t believe either will happen but it’s a fun thought. You just know if Bill is going down he’s taking everybody with him.

If you aren’t supposed to mow at night then why do riding mowers have headlights?

Sure, it’s a horrible idea in an open office environment but if someone wants to use this at home for all their passwords it really won’t hurt anything.

I don’t doubt this is true. I’ve been playing with an A.I and some fairly simple python scripts and it’s so tedious to get the A.I. to actually do something to the script correctly. Learning to prompt is a skill all it’s own.

In my experience it’s much more useful for doing things like in AWS like create a Cloudformation template or look through user permissions for excess privileges or setup a backup schedule, like at scale when you have lots of accounts and users, etc.

How long before someone finds a glitch that allows them to trick the A.I. Into letting them get free seats or book the entire plane, etc.

You’re one to talk! This is literally on a thread about guy detained while BIDEN was President! There is a legit reason to both sides this issue. We have to press the Democratic party to stop moving to the right of the Republicans, and you can’t do that if you don’t talk about it. There is a clear connection to the Democrats laying the groundwork that have directly helped lead us to the situation we’re now in with Trump.

Failing to hold Democrats accountable for their own behavior by focusing only on Trump will only allow the Democrats to follow this downward spiral. The Democratic party doesn’t see the evil in their own past behavior and that’s a key part of why they cannot effectively counter Trump with any of this.

I don’t know why you act like I am defending Trump, I am only trying to point out that Democrats were still mass deporting people. Trump is historically evil and will probably blow the Obama/Biden numbers out once ICE gets the new budget. But, this has been standard US policy since 9/11 basically.

For example - https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/trump-2-immigration-first-100-days or https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-deportation-record

While the government has not released official data in comprehensive fashion, based on Federal Register notices and selective information shared with news organizations it appears on track to deport roughly half a million people this year—fewer than the 685,000 deportations recorded in fiscal year (FY) 2024 under President Joe Biden.

My point is that Trump could easily accomplish the same thing if mass deportations was his chief goal, because the Democrats were already doing that. Biden deported 685k in one year according to the Federal Register, if you want to discount the source and provide other numbers that is fine. I’m not trying to argue tactics, because frankly what the Dems and GOP have been doing (at least since 9/11) related to deportations and immigration has been illegal to unconstitutional in a variety of ways. Claiming asylum under international law is a defined legal process and even Obama and Biden were not following that process.

Look even at the article this thread is in, this Irish tourist was jailed when Biden was President for overstaying his VISA for 3 days, even though he wanted to leave. That is pretty horrible behavior. Again, not saying Trump is better by any means, easily he is far worse.

We already have the flight logs, right? These people flew to the island, that should be enough for something. It’s not like we’re going to find a QuickBooks pricelist with clients and sex acts in it.

I didn’t say that. I was only pointing out how bad the Democrats have been, while not needing to go to the current ICE tactics. Holman was brought to us by Obama even. We’ve gone past the point where the deportations are the point; it’s the fear and repression of the entire population. And we’ve not even seen the half of it once ICE gets its new budget, it will get much worse!

Nobody can hold a candle to ‘deporter-in-chief’ Obama. Secretly, the Democrats have been much harder and more effective on deportations and the border for decades.

Congressional hearings? Seriously? Don’t you know what party is in charge of Congress now? The midterms are a long way off, I can’t imagine this keeping steam until then. Plus, the Dems also would expose some of their favorites, no way they do it either if they took both houses off Congress.

Is it really haggling or more just sorting through prices offered by different sites and airlines? You can’t really negotiate a lower price, but you can choose layovers, different flights, times to save money.
