At the rate things are going for us vs trump, I believe they will be giving him a Nobel.

To me, the entire world seems to be upside-down enough to do it.

It's now obvious that our military, police, judges, etc will back a dictatorship over the constitution.

Biden told them, and we all hoped this wouldn't happen. But now the military and police are against the population and the constitution. They listen to their superiors, who are breaking the law, and judges are keeping the lanes clear.

Glendale ends 'divisive' Ice detention contract amid California protests

Decision comes as federal action to enforce US immigration laws inspired three days of protests in the LA area

The California city of Glendale has terminated a contract to house federal immigration detainees, with local officials saying the arrangement had become increasingly “divisive” within the community.

The decision by the Los Angeles county municipality to sever ties with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) comes after three days of protests in other parts of the LA area. That included Sunday near the Metropolitan Detention Center, about nine miles from Glendale, where cars were set alight as anti-Ice protesters clashed with law enforcement officers, including the national guard.

Glendale city officials described the move to cancel the contract, which has been in place since 2007, as a local decision that was “not politically driven” but was “rooted in what this city stands for – public safety, local accountability, and trust”.

Yesterday's news, but I just heard it a few hours ago. Pretty awesome.

Remember: everything trump attempts is a total f#ck up.

So I imagine he's going to look pretty hopeless and helpless pretty soon.
He'll bite off more than he can chew (as they say).

I'm in Los Angeles

There are protests everywhere.
I’ve been getting nonstop messages from Nextdoor, Ring, etc that ICE and Natl Guard are showing up. Pics of ICE agents running in several directions down quiet neighborhood streets. Empty, except for ICE agents. One post said ICE was at a neighborhood church. This is all just in my area.

All of this going on today, and I turn the tv on. Nothing. No local network LBN. Just golf, tennis, swimming.

I I have to go to TikTok for live coverage.

They'll kiss and make up.

The gop will demand it of both of them.
I'm sure they'll give elon something special, and the two will go to dinner and a movie.

BTW: notice how TACO has been buried?

The Covfefe Taco Parade song

Seventy-six red caps led the big parade;
With a hundred and ten billionaires close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest Fox News hosts
The cream of ev'ry fascist land.

Seventy-six red caps caught the morning sun;
With a hundred and ten billionaires right behind.
There were more than a thousand confidants,
Kissing up like sycophants;
There was orange of ev'ry shape and kind.

Is the trump administration above the law?

If it's not obvious to everyone by now, it never will be.
Each day, they take new shots at our laws and constitution; and just like in his last term, all will be forgotten.

Thinking that because the orange fool is so low in the polls, and the tariff thing just isn't working out for him...

etc, etc, etc, etc...that he and his evil sidekicks are working on how to get the U.S. into a military war.

With 401(k)s being crushed, SS being threatened, prices going up, up, up, recession looming--or worse...

I wonder how many MAGA's have already spent their promised forthcoming $4,000 checks.
