The intent of the masks is obvious, but apparently not to everyone(!).

ICE could easily have secured identifying markings (with or without masks).
Are numbered badges/ID's no longer available?
Again, the reasons ICE does not is obvious.

What is obvious is you seem unwilling (or unable) to engage/respond to a direct request.

Maybe if you would define what YOU consider "oversold" means, then someone could answer your question.

Similarly, if you would define what YOU consider to be "discrimination".

Until you explicitly share what your understanding is of those words, claiming individuals were fired because they were discriminated against by an oversold vaccine is a pointless waste of time.

Re: #869

Riots occur when a group has no power and is only able to vent their frustration. Why would any MAGA/GOP riot? They control all three branches of government and (sorry Charlie) this killing is at best a minor blip/setback. It is not a loss of a keystone to their power. If anything, this gives them a "Remember the Alamo" martyr. As history has shown, a martyr is extremely valuable and essentially impossible to counter.

Is the following post the one that you claim is correct:
" Well Clown, I watched the Border under Biden become one mass processing facility to let anyone and everyone in with zero regard to who they were as people. Anyways, we're shipping them back and locking them up. Now we're going after criminals who happen to be citizens in case you haven't noticed.
#19 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2025-09-10 01:22 AM"

If so, the Snopes link you cited disagrees:

"This claim was true, in that the number of more than 7.2 million immigrants specifically reflected border encounters with U.S. officials, according to data provided on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website " not an increase of that magnitude in the immigrant population."

and

"The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, published an article on Jan. 5, 2024, contending that 'data from the Trump era clearly show that, if he were in office, Trump would not be deporting any more border crossers than Biden has.' "

Possibly, but then so is Pope Leo XIV. Proving, once again, coincidence is not causality.

It's much more likely President Trump is looking for something (ANYTHING!) to defect attention away from the Epstein Files.

I'd suggest they consult with a thermal engineer before spending ("wasting") money on paint. Yes, a black paint will absorb more infrared ("heat") from the Sun, but that is only while the Sun is shining. After the Sun sets, a black-painted wall has higher emissivity and will radiant its heat more rapidly. Not only will that lower the walls temperature faster, this will occur during darkness which, I suspect, is probably a preferable time for climbing over the wall.

Re: #80

That would result in three less red reps and two additional blue reps: a net change of five reps!

It's becoming more clear why Texas is trying to gerrymander five seats to favor red reps.

"Texas is already gerrymandered blue

Last election 25 13
Seats won 25 13

#21 | Posted by easy_meat at 2025-08-19 12:41 PM"

Using your percentages:
This should result in 22% red reps; 15 blue reps.

Please explain how this indicates Texas is already gerrymandered blue.

"40% blue but 52% blue reps

When dealing with 10's of C, it's even easier to multiply by 2 and divide by 10 (move the decimal point one place to the left) before multiplying by 9 and then adding 32.

One learned to evaluate math problems and then do easy/simple calculations in one's head in the days before calculators. It's a very useful skill.

If President Trump wants to set the tone for his meeting with President Putin, he should implement the sanctions as scheduled.
THAT would be 'Art of the Deal' and would send a message that stalling is not an option.

PIECE IN OUR TIME ...

Personal note: Although born in Cleveland (OH), his family moved to Milwaukee (WI) [my home town] when he was five. He grew up in Milwaukee and eventually went to UW-Madison (WI) [my Alma Mater]. Milwaukee likes to claim him as "their" hometown astronaut due to his numerous connections with the city. I had an opportunity to hear him speak in Milwaukee in the late Sixties (post Apollo 8; pre Apollo 13). After his talk, I strolled onto the stage and introduced myself. He was very personable and eager to chat about astronomy and NASA. Being star-struck, I asked for his autograph (which he was delighted to give me and I still have).

Does this mean the present administration is being conducted under the influence?

It would explain a lot.
