Not looking good

[BoSoxGal]

I have some feelings about wanting to bitch slap this guy, good thing we are unlikely to ever cross paths. Imagine if he'd done his job a little bit quicker and prosecuted the architect of January 6 in time to prevent him appearing on a ballot ever again. Now he's exhorting prosecutors to uphold the rule of law.

Sadly, I think it is because no one (at least anyone in the higher federal or state levels) really wanted to prosecute Trump; they just wanted to threaten it for the optics and PR. As I said 4 years ago, Trump was never going to serve a day in jail.

I think the truth is that Andy is taking precautionary measures to prevent being swept up by Trump's & Tom Homan's upcoming Shock & Awe mass deportation movement.

After reading that article you linked to, it strikes me that this isn't necessarily so much a case of deporting undocumented and undesirables as it is a case of controlling and confining them — especially when he declares they will need more money to provide 'many beds' for the detainees before they can be put back on the other side of the border. Then he goes on to outline the process —

"What people don't understand is we can't just put [them on] a plane," he said.  "There's a process we have to go through.  You have to contact the country, they have to agree to accept them, then they got to send you travel documents.  And that takes several days to several weeks.  So we need detention assets."

And what happens if the other countries refuse to take these refugees/immigrants/ne'er-do-wells back?   Well, ask yourself this — do you think Castro would have taken back all the people that made it to the USA during that Mariel boatlift if he'd been asked nicely?

So what they're doing is preparing us for a massive sweep-up and internment camps — sorta like Poland and other European countries in the 1930s.   I foresee versions of the Warsaw ghetto, Japanese 'resettlement' camps, Sheriff Joe Arpaio's tent-city prison camps in Arizona, or something straight outta Stalag 17 or The Great Escape).   Because this whole things is basically a set-up to just get 'em outta sight of the lily-white real 'Muricans — and if we can't ship 'em back to wherever they came from and having to put them on a reservation like the Cherokee or Choctaw is what it takes, then that's what's gonna happen.

Don’t be silly, they won’t be deporting any fair skinned immigrants, regardless of documentary status.

How do you know, BSG? Have you been peeking into my windows?

Didn't you post some photos of yourself from a lifetime ago in the UK? Pardon if I'm mistaken, but my recollection is that you are Caucasian. If you still have some variation of a Brit accent you'd get bonus points for that I bet.

I agree. Garland got a bit of a honeymoon from us libs because of course his appointment as AG was seen as a sort of second prize after the disgraceful and anti-Constitutional behavior by my senior senator (M McConnell) when he refused to allow a confirmation hearing. I have no idea whether he would have been a good SCOTUS judge ( I still think yes, and not just because he is the non-Gorsuch; and because a certain amount of reflection is not a bad thing in a judge) but I think he was/is a disaster as AG, bending over backwards to avoid the appearance of being politically motivated. When you bend over backwards so far that you are kissing your own ass/arse you are doing it wrong.

And yes I did post a photo of myself and Susan when she died - good catch. I take back any insinuations that you were playing Peeping Tom outside my house, BSG.

Satire... or is it?

I’m willing to give our alien overlords a second chance.

Look, I don’t need to tell you that times have been tough the past few years.   Between the pandemic, mass protests, worldwide inflation, and Target locking deodorant in plexiglass cases, we’ve all had our fair share of struggles.   Why, just last week, there were reports of drag queens milling around our local library!   So when Commander Zorpf and his legion of bloodthirsty alien warriors returned vowing to fix things, I did the only thing I could: I sided with Zorpf.   Again.
