From a very quick ‘net search, I’d say apparently not, though he uses other words to describe his white male targets’ intelligence level. He does seem to love using “low IQ” against Black women, though. I wonder why that might be.
We’ve replaced these DJT tweets with Folger’s Crystals Charles Manson prison interview quotes. Can they tell the difference?
The Guardian, paywalled? Color me surprised.
Me, too. I don’t have a paid subscription to The Guardian, nor have I ever even set up an account there, and I’ve not ever had an issue reading their articles. They do often have pop-ups, encouraging subscribing, but those have not ever kept me from reading an article.
I’m not subscribed, but that is mostly a soft paywall, it is an ad asking one to subscribe, you can still get around by pressing the X in the top right corner of that pop-in request.
Yeah, because that’s totally a thing. And if it were, well, let’s just say I‘d wager someone other than Biden would have the honor.
Sure it is , it’s judged by the same people who judge the competition for Michigan man of the year.
Goebbels Miller just denied the felon’s target numbers.
Stephen Miller was unequivocal: Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers would seek to arrest 3,000 or more immigrants per day, a staggering target that he said was necessary to carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day and President Trump is going to keep pushing to get that number up higher each and every day,” the senior White House adviser told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in May.
But when federal judges pressed for details about that figure last week, the administration denied any such quota existed. The contradiction came in a lawsuit that alleged the intense pressure to rack up arrests had led ICE to conduct illegal sweeps in Los Angeles.
It’s not the only case that has featured the 3,000-arrest-per-day target as a crucial piece of evidence that the administration’s single-minded drive to rack up arrests may have prompted immigration authorities to cut corners or break the law. Washington-based Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, cited the figure when she ruled Friday that the administration’s dramatic expansion of “expedited” deportation proceedings violated the law. And Judge Trina Thompson, a Biden appointee in San Francisco, pointed to the purported goal Thursday when she blocked the administration’s bid to end temporary protected status for tens of thousands of Nicaraguan, Honduran and Nepali immigrants.
But on Wednesday, the Justice Department said no such orders had ever been given.
“DHS has confirmed that neither ICE leadership nor its field offices have been directed to meet any numerical quota or target for arrests, detentions, removals, field encounters, or any other operational activities that ICE or its components undertake in the course of enforcing federal immigration law,” a Justice Department attorney reported to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
While DOJ attorney Yaakov Roth attributed the quota claim to “anonymous reports in the newspapers,” he didn’t mention that Miller — Trump’s deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser — had publicly confirmed the 3,000-daily-arrest “goal” in the televised interview on Fox.
Maybe it was anonymous. Did Miller actually say his own name in that interview? (Come on; you know that’s exactly the kind of “reasoning” the magaflatearthers use!)
That pesky old constitution! (The bolding is mine.)
The Trump administration suffered another blow to its mass deportation agenda on Friday after an appeals court upheld a lower court’s ruling that prevents Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from detaining a person based on their appearance, native language, or job.
A three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Los Angeles said the plaintiffs, a cohort of five individuals and three immigration advocacy organizations, were likely to succeed on their claim that ICE agents violated the Fourth Amendment by relying on four factors to form reasonable suspicion to support detention stops.
Those four factors include apparent race or ethnicity, speaking Spanish or English with an accent, presence at a particular location such as a laborer pick-up site, and the type of work a person does.
I’m putting this one in the “be careful what you wish for” file. (The bolding is mine.)
Get ready for ICE to flood your social media feeds.
Dangling bonuses of up to $50,000, federal officials are launching a massive recruitment campaign to hire more than 14,000 immigration agents, attorneys and other workers to help execute President Donald Trump’s border crackdown. The president is newly flush with billions in funding and wants to deport 1 million people a year with the help of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
“America needs you,” reads one of the ICE recruiting ads, featuring a finger-pointing Uncle Sam, evoking World War I recruiting posters. “America has been invaded by criminals and predators. We need YOU to get them out.”
The federal spending plan finances the hiring of 10,000 new ICE agents, making ICE the single-largest law enforcement agency in the country, larger than the FBI, DEA, ATF and other agencies combined. For comparison, the FBI has only about 13,700 special agents, according to the Justice Department.
Even before the new hires take their posts, the dramatic expansion of public ICE operations has upset communities from coast to coast and raised questions about the tactics agents have used as they’ve chased suspects across Home Depot parking lots, farm fields and into medical buildings.
The aggressive recruitment efforts have also angered local sheriffs who worry that deputies in already understaffed offices will be lured away by the big bonuses and higher pay.
“It is tone-deaf and reflects a total lack of judgment and character on their part,” Jonathan Thompson, executive director and CEO of the National Sheriff’s Association, said of a recruiting offer emailed to local deputies nationwide. “This is either galactically stupid or purposefully malicious. You’re just robbing Peter to pay Paul. And in this case, you’re robbing the poorest of Peter to pay the richest of Paul.”
And why do the feds need so many? Ah, the same link tells you.
Bolstered by new staffing, federal officials have promised to further flood Democrat-run cities with deportation officers in response to a lack of cooperation in executing Trump’s get-tough approach that has targeted undocumented immigrations with or without criminal records.
And in yet another magical thinking way to reduce the government debt, there is this benefit for new hires.
In addition to the signing bonuses, ICE is offering up to $60,000 in student loan forgiveness, although applicants don’t need to have college degrees to be considered for some of the jobs.
“Who will rid me of these troublesome immigrants?”
Miller must have been that guy who appeared on FAUXNews with the black bag over has head and his voice electronically distorted.
The biggest trouble those immigrants give the felon and his supporters is the repeated logic bombing of their prejudices.
- “They’re coming here to have anchor babies!” Yeah, that could apply to the females, but what about the males? Next, anchor babies is a nonsense concept as minors cannot sponsor anyone into the country.
- “They don’t work and just want the government money!” But of course, they do work. And the industries they’ve been working in are taking a massive hit now with the felon’s inane crackdown. Also, they’re paying the government, not the other way around as they are not eligible for the benefits.
- “They’re taking our jobs!” That’s a pretty stupid lazy person to run to a country to not work and take someone’s job. Of course the immigrants aren’t taking anyone’s jobs. They’re doing the work locals won’t do.
They’re Schrodinger’s Immigrants. Just like his cat, until you open the box you don’t know if it’s alive or dead, all you know is it’s a cat.
Likewise, until you open the immigrant box you don’t know if it’s taking our jobs, doesn’t want to work, or wants an anchor baby, all you know is it’s bad.
That’s what you know about Trump before and after looking at him.
ETA: With his convincing himself his tariff kaleidoscope of a plan is working so bigly, I’m waiting for him to say this:
We’ve now negotiated agreements with every nation on Earth. Next week, we’ll negotiate treaties with even more!
I just caught a clip of His Shittiness reiterating that drug prices are going down “not just 50% but ,1,500%”. I know nobody wants to be the one to correct him but there have to be people face palming every time he says it. Do deplorables not know how percentages work either? Why does nobody comment on it? Kristen Welker talks to his minions every week. I love you Kristen but c’mon, this is too stoopid to ignore.
It’s the classic Mob Boss methodology. There almost certainly isn’t an official order telling ICE to deport 3000 people per day. But the message is also clear to everyone who works for ICE: This is what The Boss wants, and you’d damn well better make sure he gets it. Trump will act all surprised, “No, really? You all just spontaneously did this for me?!?!”, while everyone around him knows that this is exactly what he wanted them to do all along.
Anyone who didn’t get the message will be sleeping with the fishes.
From the ICE recruitment ad:
Well yes. They’re called the Republican Party.
“Every accusation is a confession” might as well be the motto of the Republican party.
America has a criminal predator as the president.
Speaking of, The National doubled down.

Lest you think anyone in the Second Felonial Area has the inclination, the capacity to learn, read this. (The bolding is mine.)
A leaked memo from the Department of Homeland Security suggests that the Trump administration is considering using the U.S. military to boost its ongoing mass deportation agenda, while acknowledging the deployment of troops in Los Angeles earlier this year wasn’t “perfect,” according to a new report.
The memo was allegedly written by DHS senior adviser Phil Hegseth, the brother of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The New Republic published the texts on Saturday.
President Donald Trump has already used U.S. military personnel in his aggressive deportation campaign. In June, Trump nationalized approximately 5,000 National Guard members and sent them to LA to push back against protesters demonstrating against Immigrations and Customs Enforcement raids in their neighborhoods.

The DHS memo outlines a June 21 meeting between senior DHS and Pentagon officials, according to The New Republic, and suggests that U.S. military members will be needed to carry out Trump’s deportation efforts for “years to come.”
And how did I miss Hegseth’s brother is a DHS senior advisor?
Who had today in the anchor pool for when the felon fesses up about getting shot?
Donald Trump allegedly confessed to GOP colleagues that his ear injury was “not too bad” at the Republican National Convention, despite wearing his infamous oversized bandage.
The then-presidential nominee told Byron Donalds that doctors had advised him to keep the bandage on, the Florida Congressman said, speaking at a GOP conference over the weekend.
Trump arrived at the convention in July 2024 wearing the bandage, two days after surviving an attempted assassination while out campaigning in Butler, Pennsylvania, during which a bullet clipped his right ear.
Many convention goers decided to mimic the look in solidarity, also sporting bandages of their own.
However, Donalds recalled, Trump himself was unenthused about his medical head accessory when the pair met shortly after his convention speech. “I see the bandage, and the second thing [Trump says] is ‘what do you think of the bandage?’” Donalds said.
"I said, ‘I don’t like it. Take it off.’ That’s what I said. ‘I don’t like it. Take it off.’ I said ‘let everybody see the ear.’”
"He was like, ‘you know, it’s not too bad. It’s not too bad’…“Doc Ronny [Jackson] says, I gotta wear the bandage.”
If those idiots really want to emulate their idol, they should try having an affair while their wives are pregnant. That should make for some fun dinnertime chat.
(NewsNation) — The Trump administration has clarified that a change to the Social Security Administration‘s phone policy is optional.
The new policy, which had a start date of Aug. 18, would have required millions of Social Security recipients to travel to field offices for routine account updates and have to go online to get a security authentication PIN.
AARP sent a letter to SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano on Tuesday, saying that the change would create an obstacle for seniors, people with disabilities and those who lack access to a computer or internet. About 3.4 million more people would have been forced to go to a field office, which has recently seen staffing cuts.
Someone must’ve pulled his cellphone from his teeny tiny polka dot nubbins and sat him down to explain to him that his legions of morons will freak out if they’re slapped in the face with his incompetence. So, let’s just say “You can do it if you want”, knowing full well nobody’s going to do it. That way the candidates he praises next year won’t get primaried/unelected.
I’m getting a 30k photovoltaic system put in this summer. One of the reasons was because Trump was gonna fuck up the tax credits. That’s why I pulled the trigger on this. We are buying a new house and things are cutting a little too close to the bone for my comfort. Once the old house sells we will be fine. But…
And it looks like he’s still trying and gonna make it worse. He’s trying to speed up the Big Bullshit Bill.
And at no time whatsoever has this trite phrase meant jack shit to them. It has become a “No-You!” of a phrase that is a trite substitute for debate.
