No. None of that is true.
The bill wasn't about securing the border at all.
It was to give major Democrat cities billions of dollars to house, clothe and feed illegal alien invaders.
California is now using taxpayer dollars to give illegal alien invaders health insurance.
New York City is kicking kids out of schools and turning them into shelters for illegal alien invaders.
Chicago is turning airports into shelters for illegal alien invaders.
And they wanted billions more for Ukraine.
Fuck Democrats. Fuck Joe Biden*. Fuck any traitor to America who would vote for Democrats or Joe Biden*.

“What’s been negotiated would – if passed into law – be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country,” Biden said in a statement Friday.
“It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law,” he continued, urging Congress to pass the legislation.

6ix, you probably believe the President already had the authority to shut down the border. Biden does not and Trump does not want Biden to get that authority. But because you are a beast that can talk, 6ix, you will never know what authority the President has. To you, the President can do anything he wants at the border. According to law, the President can't, until Congress gives Biden the authority, which Trump doesn't want Congress to give Biden.

'Outright hate': Parents who lost kids in war respond to Trump campaign's attack
Donald Trump on Saturday was slammed by three "Gold Star" families who lost their loved ones in war and now say the former president has nothing but contempt for them.
The veterans' rights group VoteVets posted a press release outlining a feud stemming from the organization's recent ad buy. In the advertisement, the families expressed anger over Trump calling their fallen family members "suckers" and "losers."
Trump's campaign released a statement in response to the ad, calling the families "shills" and saying the ad itself is "vile."
But the families responded Saturday, saying team Trump's reply "just underscores the outright hate Donald Trump has for those who serve and those who've lost loved ones in war."
"It is a dark day in America when the Republican party's presumptive nominee, who never served himself and never had family who wore the uniform, sends attack dogs after Gold Star families in this way," the statement notes.
The quote continues:
"But it should also underscore for the American people just how little respect Trump has for Troops, Veterans, Military families, the Fallen, and their survivors. Some like that can never, ever sit in the Oval Office again."

At this point, 6ix gets confused and bitter along the lines of: Are you claiming no Democrats cheat? Prove they are all perfect! Until you prove every Democrat is perfect, no one can claim Trump is a tax cheater and a dingbat.
Don't forget, Trump owes $83.3 million for sexual assault, but because he refuses to pay, Trumptards believe Trump did not do it. Since this judge cannot jail Trump for nonpayment, he must have not done it according to the understanding of Trumptards' dingbat brains. The woman will have to sue Trump, again, to get the $83.3 million after Trump stalls for years, claiming he is innocent. She will have to force Trump into the liquidation of bankruptcy to get even a penny from him.

Investigators Sought Jeff Bezos’ Tax-Return Leaker; They Stumbled Upon Donald Trump’s
Funny how Trump didn’t pay taxes and didn’t go to jail while the guy who revealed Trump is a tax-cheater is being charged with a crime. Trump refused to release his tax returns for this election, continuing his tax-cheating.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/investigators-sought-jeff-be
zos-tax-return-leaker-they-stumbled-upon-donald-trump-s/ar-BB1hluSl
WASHINGTON—One of the most sensitive leaks ever about an American president almost wasn’t solved.
Investigators had few leads to chase when the New York Times published details in September 2020 from two decades of then-President Donald Trump’s tax-return data, highlighting his debts and low income-tax payments. At the time, U.S. investigators didn’t know if the returns came from a government leak or someone else with access to the returns, according to people familiar with the inquiry.
Their probe went nowhere until early last year—beyond the three-year statute of limitations, as it turned out, from when the Trump material was leaked to the Times.
Only as they homed in on a suspect in an entirely different but equally explosive Internal Revenue Service breach did government investigators learn how the Trump tax returns came to light, allowing them to sweep that leak into their charge against former IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn.
Trump’s returns had been among the most closely guarded in Washington when he broke with decadeslong precedent, as a 2016 candidate and then as president, by refusing to release them, even to a congressional committee chairman with the statutory authority to demand that he do so.
Against that politically charged backdrop, passions have been high around the Justice Department’s prosecution of Littlejohn, who admitted last year to leaking Trump’s tax information to the Times. In a letter to a federal judge, Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday said Littlejohn should get the maximum sentence for having taken “the law into his own hands and decided he knew what was best.”
Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, is set to sentence the 38-year-old on Monday. Prosecutors have asked that Littlejohn get five years in prison, saying he “weaponized his access to unmasked taxpayer data to further his own personal, political agenda, believing that he was above the law.”
A lawyer for Littlejohn said a five-year sentence—the maximum—would be “extreme” and unjustified. “He did what he thought was right at the time, but now fully acknowledges that he was wrong,” the lawyer, Lisa Manning, wrote in a court filing earlier this month.
Littlejohn had closely covered his digital tracks, prosecutors have said, leaving few fingerprints by using generalized searches to find Trump’s returns and transferring them to a private website. He then used a personal computer to download the data off the website and made copies on storage devices, including an Apple iPod he had configured as a hard drive “using his specialized technical skills,” prosecutors said.
Leak investigations are among the most sensitive for the Justice Department to undertake, as policy dictates it generally can’t investigate journalists to determine who may have leaked the information.
It was a later series of stories by ProPublica that provided an unexpected opening. Beginning in June 2021, the website examined how American billionaires including Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett paid little in income tax in relation to their immense wealth. ProPublica attributed its scoop to a “trove of Internal Revenue Service data” that included more than 15 years of tax returns from thousands of the wealthiest Americans.

Quote:There is a difference between paying ALL taxes and paying some taxes. Trump paid $750 in 2016, $750 in 2017, and $0 in 2020. The Wall Street Journal can explain it to you: his deductions are "questionable", a polite way to say Trump cheated on his income taxes. His deductions are arbitrary, with no proof to back up anything Trump claimed on his returns. His outside accountants said they take no responsibility for the truth of the numbers Trump gave them and then resigned, but that's not a problem for Trumptards.

Quote:Thank you, Trump! The centerpiece of the 2017 tax law was a deep, permanent cut in the corporate tax rate — from 35 percent to 21 percent. At a cost of $1.3 trillion over ten years, the deep cut in the corporate tax rate was the most expensive provision of the 2017 tax law, largely benefiting the most well-off.

1. Real estate is the easiest way to hide an asset.
As of January, the Treasury Department finally started requiring LLCs to disclose the names of their owners. But for years, anyone could buy real estate through a shell company with no disclosure at all. And in a 1 percenter world, penthouses and waterfront mansions can help protect or launder your fortune. A recent Times investigation into one Manhattan property found that more than 200 shell companies had purchased units in the building, including corporate fronts for 17 billionaires.

Quote:Trump promised to increase coal mining back in 2016 because "Climate Change Is A Chinese Hoax", but America is producing less coal than ever because coal-fired electric generating plants produce the most expensive power. Trump promises to increase natural gas production in 2024 because "Climate Change Is A Chinese Hoax". Too bad for Trump that natural gas-fired electric generating plants produce the most expensive power compared to renewable energy.

Renewable Energy Costs Have Dropped Much Faster Than Expected, But There’s A Catch

osts-have-dropped-much-faster-than-expected-but-theres-a-catch/?sh=49fc8b133164
What is The Catch? "Existing energy pricing systems don’t always accurately reflect the unprecedentedly low costs of actually producing renewables." Trump and fossil fuel sellers do NOT want the cost of green energy to be reflected in the price consumers pay because that would cause the fossil fuel sellers to suffer. Trump ran a welfare system for the rich fossil fuel sellers. Trump isn't President, but in Republican controlled states like Texas, there is still a lovely welfare program for natural gas producers who absolutely deserve all the money they can get!
Hurrah for Trump! He will keep the old system running because "Climate Change Is A Chinese Hoax".

I love Trump for his Wickedness:
Trump is trying to kill the immigration deal so he alone can fix it.
Former President Donald Trump’s heavy lean on Senate Republicans to tank in-progress talks on a bipartisan package for foreign defense aid and border security, solely to keep the border issue hot for Republicans to campaign on, has started to trigger backlash from within their own party — and is even making some allies of the former president uncomfortable . . .
Gumming up the works has what Trump may see as an added benefit: delaying aid to Ukraine. If he’s one day prevented from doing business in New York, he might at least get to build that hotel in Moscow.

By David Frum | January 28, 2024, 8 AM ET

-israel-ukraine-aid/677254/
On January 17, House Speaker Mike Johnson led a candlelight vigil at the Capitol to mark the recent passing of the 100th day of hostage-holding by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Members of Congress assembled shoulder to shoulder with families of hostages. The Republican speaker delivered a heartfelt speech. “We must stand together in solidarity with the Jewish people,” he said. “And we will, from the synagogues in Brooklyn to the country churches of my home in northwest Louisiana, from the Senate to the House—we support Israel, believing that we can overcome the darkness with light.”
This weekend, Congress sees another 100-day anniversary go by—this one dating from when President Joe Biden requested $106 billion in emergency defense aid for Israel and Ukraine, as well as additional funding for border enforcement.
For those 100 days, Congress has refused to act on Biden’s request. The main obstacle is the House of Representatives, and within the House, the pro-Trump MAGA caucus that toppled the previous speaker, Kevin McCarthy. The MAGA caucus then vetoed McCarthy’s most eligible successors, eventually bringing the ultra-Trumpist Johnson to his high office, which is second only to the vice president in the presidential succession.
Johnson has advertised himself as a friend of Israel. He scheduled hearings so that House members could interrogate college presidents about their failure to prevent anti-Semitic harassment on campus. Two of those presidents ultimately lost their job: the University of Pennsylvania’s Liz Magill and Harvard’s Claudine Gay.
But when it comes to aiding allies in a shooting war, rather than a culture war, suddenly Johnson and his caucus are nowhere to be found.
Ukraine depends on U.S. aid to keep fighting. Congress’s inaction—meaning, again, the inaction of Johnson and his MAGA caucus—has curtailed the flow of supplies to Ukraine. Frontline reports say that Ukrainian units are compelled to ration ammunition, conceding the artillery advantage to the Russian invader.
Israel has mobilized so much of its population to fight Hamas and deter other terrorist groups that its civilian economy is greatly impaired. As of mid-November, Israel reported almost $8 billion in emergency borrowing to fund its defense spending. The national budget approved in January projects a $19 billion increase in government expenditures and a $10 billion drop in government revenues in the year ahead.
Republicans insisted on linking Ukraine and Israel aid to border enforcement. In deference to their wishes, Biden also sought $14 billion for border enforcement. Among other purposes, the money would fund the hiring of nearly 6,000 new employees, including 375 additional immigration judges. Many of today’s border-crossers will claim asylum, a status protected by U.S. law and treaties. A large majority of those claims will ultimately be rejected. But because of the new mass of claims, processing has greatly slowed. Once a claim is filed, an asylum seeker can look forward to being released into the country and a delay of years before they are ordered to leave.
Congress can and should reform the much-abused asylum system. Pending a rewrite of the law, the executive branch needs resources to hasten the adjudication of claims that lack merit. The more judges deployed, the faster the claims will be heard. The faster the claims are heard, the sooner rejected applicants can be removed. The prompt removal of rejected applicants will in turn send a strong message around the world that would-be migrants should stay home rather than pay a human trafficker thousands of dollars to help them game the U.S. immigration system.
In November, House Republicans passed an Israel-only aid bill. But the bill was written to be rejected. It appropriated $14 billion of Israel aid only by cutting $14 billion out of the IRS budget. Not only would this have been a gift

Former President Donald Trump’s heavy lean on Senate Republicans to tank in-progress talks on a bipartisan package for foreign defense aid and border security, solely to keep the border issue hot for Republicans to campaign on, has started to trigger backlash from within their own party — and is even making some allies of the former president uncomfortable . . .
Gumming up the works has what Trump may see as an added benefit: delaying aid to Ukraine. If he’s one day prevented from doing business in New York, he might at least get to build that hotel in Moscow.

It's not a good, solid policy.

It's billions in funding to big Democrat run cities to house, clothe and feed illegal alien invaders. It's billions more in funding to Ukraine.
Fuck your lies. Fuck that NeoCon trash's lies.

Trump, who is the overwhelming favorite to secure the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, claimed on Monday that it was his influence causing the boom, despite him currently not holding any elected office.
"THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN, AND THAT WILL DRIVE THE MARKET UP — EVERYTHING ELSE IS TERRIBLE (WATCH THE MIDDLE EAST!), AND RECORD SETTING INFLATION HAS ALREADY TAKEN ITS TOLL," the former president wrote in a post to Truth Social. "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

Actually, Trump Supporters Are Delusional
“Death cult” may sound hyperbolic, but it also might be true.
On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… folie à deux (again).
A few weeks ago, Frank Buckley joined us to argue that Trump voters aren’t delusional. And a lot of you disagreed.
One of you, though, turned out to be an expert in the nature of delusion. So who better to join us, and make the case that we got it wrong?
Barry Mauer, a Hear Me Out listener and associate professor at the University of Central Florida, joins us to argue that the pro-Trump movement isn’t just delusional — it’s dangerous, it’s a cult, and it has to be called what it is.
https://slate.com/podcasts/hearmeout/2024/01/maga-is-a-mass-delusion
There is a transcript of the podcast
https://slate.com/transcripts/UUZQbDEveEZocnFlUGlVVlNiZlBWeTE2a2puUy9Y
dk54cGtsMHJKN1VqUT0= ( the equal sign "=" at the end of this URL is very important if you want to reach the transcript)
"There is a natural tendency in humans to want to deny inconvenient truths and that it is possible for us to be in denial for a while and then to realize that we are in denial and to get over it. Delusion, really, it settles in, it protects itself, and it cannot be removed by reason. It’s immune to reason, basically."
6ix, from my hanging around delusional people I discovered it is very bad for their chances of survival into old age. Delusions also interfere with prospering while young.

This is a stupendous Trump idea. Why didn't Biden think of it first? I'm going to vote for Trump! He has the BEST ideas!
Trump’s secret plan to expand presidential immunity to ‘King George’ levels
Donald Trump and his allies are plotting a way to give presidents a legal shield for life if he wins in 2024
This month, Donald Trump’s lawyers have argued in a federal appeals court that he, as a former American president, is “absolutely” immune from criminal prosecution, possibly even if he were to order the assassination of his political enemies. But the arguments that Trump’s lawyers are currently litigating in public are just a preview of Trump and his allies’ private plans to dramatically expand presidential immunity, if he defeats Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
According to two sources who have discussed the topic with the ex-president since last year, Trump and people close to him intend to expand a Nixon-era memo from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel that has effectively prohibited the department from prosecuting sitting presidents for decades. Some Trump advisers and others familiar with these discussions say they plan to have a thoroughly Trumpified OLC issue a new memo, which would advise that the department should prohibit the prosecution of presidents even after they leave office. (The existing Department of Justice memo is generally interpreted as applying to presidents only when they are in power.)
These ideas have been briefed to Trump by a handful of right-wing lawyers and longtime associates over the past several months, the two people with direct knowledge of the situation say.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trumps-secret-
plan-expand-presidential-immunity-1234955710/
Trump will issue the legal memo that Presidents have complete immunity for life, but Trump will wait until Biden is in jail for life. There will be no Presidential pardon from Trump to get Biden out of prison. Trump is very smart! I am voting for him.

Deportations under Trump and Biden
Immigration hawks say that Joe Biden has cut back on deportations. Biden partisans say he's been tougher on deportation than anyone in recent history. Who's right?
Both! Here are the stats: https://trac.syr.edu/phptools/immigration/closure/
In his first three years,
Trump deported 408,000 migrants.
Biden deported 385,000.
But—in FY23 Biden deported 236,000 migrants, the highest total ever and far more than Trump ever deported in a single year.
Trump holds the record for deportations in a single month, at 29,204.
Biden's highest month was last August, at 24,019.
On yet another hand, Biden is on track to beat Trump's single-term record, 633,000 to 572,000.
Bottom line: You can say anything you want and there's some statistic or another that will back you up. Probably the most honest thing you can say is that deportations are limited mostly by court capacity and don't have much to do with either Trump or Biden. But that's no fun.

Here's a quick recap of what's going on lately with border security:
1. Republicans are opposing an immigration plan that tightens up the border considerably without much in return for Democrats.
2. The House is moving ahead with an impeachment vote against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for literally no particular reason and with no chance of success.
3. Texas is defying the federal government and cordoning off pieces of the border completely from the Border Patrol.
4. Republican Speaker Mike Johnson is saying that he won't accept any border proposal "that ALLOWS even one illegal crossing."
The purpose of these things is:
1. Making Joe Biden look like he's helpless to do anything about the border.
2. Giving Republicans a big stage to rehearse their border gripes on national TV.
3. Hoping that Biden will overreact, producing lots of video of federal officers tearing down border barriers.
4. Making it clear that nothing will happen as long as Biden is president.
It's all just a show to them. They could hardly make it any clearer.

"There's a real risk they get away with it": Lawrence Lessig on how to steal the 2024 election
Trump's "stupid" 2020 scheme was doomed to fail, says legal scholar.
You've already spotted the other side of Lessig's Jan. 6 argument: There were other ways to steal the election that didn't rely on blatantly false documents and crackpot legal theories. With planning and competent management, one of them might have worked. In fact, as Lessig and Seligman's book lays out in considerable detail — you'll be grateful for the summaries labeled "tl;dr" found at the end of every chapter! — there are a couple of strategies that would have worked in January 2021 and in this year's election and those yet to come.

Democrats don't want to use E-Verify either.
I've already spoken at length about this issue before. We wouldn't even need a wall if there was NOTHING here for non-citizens.
But neither side ever does anything about it, and now New York is letting them vote in elections and kicking kids out of school to house them and California is using taxpayer dollars to give them health insurance.
Last time I checked, neither New York or California are run by Republicans.

The discussion then turned to a celebration of "strife" within the United States, with Sidorov mentioning the U.S.-Mexico border standoff between Republicans and Democrats and the impending presidential election.
Sidorov seemingly rejoiced in the ongoing dispute in Texas, where Republican Governor Gregg Abbott reacted with defiance to a Supreme Court ruling allowing the Biden administration to remove his border security measures.
"It used to be that a decision by the Supreme Court in the U.S. was final," said Sidorov. "Today, we are getting a new precedent. The Supreme Court issues a ruling and it's not the end! They're splitting apart."
During a September appearance on Solovyov's show, Sidorov expressed his support for former President Donald Trump, touting the ex-president as "the destroyer" who is capable of eliminating the U.S. from the world stage by bringing about a new civil war.
"If he gets elected, everything we said about civil war will be on their agenda, in reality," Sidorov said. "If one of the Democrats gets elected, this beat will go on. Trump can really get it to the point that our geopolitical adversary will fall apart—without any missiles."

Bullshit. It provides billions of taxpayer dollars to Democrat cities to house, clothe and feed illegal alien invaders. It provides billions of dollars to expand government so there can be more government employees doing nothing about the issue. It also provides Billions of dollars to Ukraine.
You motherfuckers have been at this for 3 years under Biden* and calling everyone who wants the problem fixed a racist. Even the dipshit DHS diversity hire was faking photos and telling the American people that Texas employees were whipping illegal alien invaders while on horseback.
Fuck your gaslighting on this issue. This is squarely a Democrat problem.
No amnesty for anyone. Deport everyone. Shut the border down 100%.
Until that bill is presented, there is no bill.

Quote:The only laws against hiring aliens can only be Federal laws which happen to not be enforced because there is no money to enforce them. I wonder who controls that money? Oh, I remember! Congress, not the President! Employers can shrug off in court after there is one of those extremely infrequent raids on their businesses whatever laws exist by claiming they did not know who was an alien. If E-verification became a legal requirement before anybody was hired, and employers get arrested for failure to E-verify, it would be a very different situation at the border.

I've already spoken at length about this issue before. We wouldn't even need a wall if there was NOTHING here for non-citizens.
But neither side ever does anything about it, and now New York is letting them vote in elections and kicking kids out of school to house them and California is using taxpayer dollars to give them health insurance.
Last time I checked, neither New York or California are run by Republicans.

Nolte: Donald Trump Polling Better Than Any GOP Presidential Candidate in 20 Years

Quote:
In 2008, the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) never earned a lead of more than 2.4 points over now-former President Obama, and those were very short-lived leads, more like statistical blips.
In 2012, Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-UT) blip of a lead against Obama never topped a single point. Obama led by as much as four points throughout that race.
In 2016, Former First Lady Hillary Clinton led throughout, except for a few brief moments when Trump topped her by only a half-point or so.
In 2020, Biden led Trump by no fewer than four points for every day of that race.
Today, in the RCP average poll of national polls, Trump leads Biden by 4.3 points. Of the last 13 polls released, Trump leads in nine. Two are a tie. Biden is only up by a single point in the remaining two.
You're fuckin' done.

The discussion then turned to a celebration of "strife" within the United States, with Sidorov mentioning the U.S.-Mexico border standoff between Republicans and Democrats and the impending presidential election.
Sidorov seemingly rejoiced in the ongoing dispute in Texas, where Republican Governor Gregg Abbott reacted with defiance to a Supreme Court ruling allowing the Biden administration to remove his border security measures.
"It used to be that a decision by the Supreme Court in the U.S. was final," said Sidorov. "Today, we are getting a new precedent. The Supreme Court issues a ruling and it's not the end! They're splitting apart."
During a September appearance on Solovyov's show, Sidorov expressed his support for former President Donald Trump, touting the ex-president as "the destroyer" who is capable of eliminating the U.S. from the world stage by bringing about a new civil war.
"If he gets elected, everything we said about civil war will be on their agenda, in reality," Sidorov said. "If one of the Democrats gets elected, this beat will go on. Trump can really get it to the point that our geopolitical adversary will fall apart—without any missiles."

Quote:Texas "handles" the problem by purchasing bus tickets to score points with people like you. The real law, the Federal law requires that illegal aliens get a day in court to make their case, but when the Immigration Court Backlog tops 3 Million and each Judge is assigned 4,500 cases that means Congress needs to fix this rather than Biden buying 3 million bus tickets or ordering 3 million bullets fired into the heads of aliens. Since tickets are expensive and bullets are cheap, Biden is left with one choice: bullets, at least until Congress provides the money for bus tickets. Bullets aren't really cheap because Biden would have to bury the Aliens, which means Congress has to pay even more than for bus tickets.

Republicans are angry about aliens! If Homeland Security would kill the aliens this anger would dissipate, replaced with accusations of merely cruel and unusual punishment.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/31/us/politics/impeachment-mayorkas-im
migration.html
The impeachment articles that the House Homeland Security Committee approved accuse Mr. Mayorkas of flouting several provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act that say deportable migrants “shall be detained” until they can be removed from the country. They charge that the secretary pursued a “catch and release” scheme to allow inadmissible migrants into the United States, knowing that it would be difficult or even impossible to ensure they would later appear in immigration court for removal proceedings.
What the charges do not take into account, however, is that Mr. Mayorkas also has the legal authority to determine which migrants to prioritize for detention, given limited bed space and long backlogs in the immigration courts.
“Congress loves passing laws that are impossible to execute,” said Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, the policy director at the American Immigration Council, adding that enforcing detention mandates is often “a question of resources.”
The United States has not had enough detention beds to accommodate the number of migrants awaiting removal proceedings for several years, well before President Biden took office. Even the Trump administration released migrants into the country, because the maximum detention capacity — about 55,000 in 2019 — was not enough to accommodate the number of arrivals seeking entry. Mr. Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy requiring some migrants to wait for their immigration court dates outside the United States, which Republicans want to reinstitute, did not apply to all migrants making claims at the border.
One of the impeachment articles says Mr. Mayorkas “paroled aliens en masse in order to release them from mandatory detention,” again with the intent of undermining the law.
But the immigration act gives the executive branch parole power to let migrants temporarily live and work in the United States for humanitarian reasons, or if their admission would be to the public’s benefit. Decisions about whom to parole are to be made on a case-by-case basis, and there is no restriction as to what criteria the secretary can consider when determining who qualifies. There is also no statutory cap on how many migrants can be allowed into the country under the authority.
Several past administrations, including those of former Presidents Trump, Barack Obama and George W. Bush, have relied on parole authority to bring members of certain vulnerable migrant groups into the United States.
The Biden administration has built on pre-existing programs allowing nationals of certain economically ravaged Central and South American countries with sponsors already in the United States to seek parole. It has also inaugurated similar pathways for Afghans and Ukrainians fleeing war, and introduced a mobile app known as C.B.P. One to streamline migrants through ports of entry.
House Republicans have sought to close down those avenues, passing legislation last year that would shutter nearly all of them.

In shocker, Trump judge supports DeSantis in Disney feud
Disney has lost a round in its fight with Ron DeSantis:
In a legal victory for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a federal judge in Tallahassee dismissed on Wednesday a lawsuit filed by the Walt Disney Co. over the state’s dismantling of the entertainment giant’s special taxing district.
....Judge Allen Winsor of the U.S. District Court for Northern Florida ruled that Disney “lacks standing to sue the governor” and that the law it was suing over was constitutional.
And what do we know about Judge Winsor? He was, no surprise, nominated by Donald Trump. He is, naturally, a longtime member of the Federalist Society. The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights doesn't think much of him:
Mr. Winsor is a young, conservative ideologue who has attempted to restrict voting rights, LGBT equality, reproductive freedom, environmental protection, criminal defendants’ rights, and gun safety. He does not possess the neutrality and fair-mindedness necessary to serve in a lifetime position as a federal judge.
In other words, Winsor is just your basic modern conservative judge, and that's about all you need to know. Of course he ruled in favor of DeSantis.
POSTSCRIPT: For what it's worth, Winsor agrees that Disney has suffered a general injury by no longer having a tax board it controls. His ruling denying standing to sue DeSantis is twofold. First, DeSantis's actions to stack the board with his lackeys is in the past. Nothing can be done about it now. Second, maybe DeSantis effectively controls the board, maybe he doesn't. But the board hasn't done anything bad yet, so who cares?
This strikes me as a bit of "heads I win tails you lose." Disney can't sue over past action, and future action is just speculative. But if that's the case, what would give Disney standing?
Winsor also inexplicably says that the law creating a new tax district is OK because it doesn't single out "a specific group." IANAL, but the record sure seems to show that, in fact, it does single out Disney and it was retaliatory. I'm not sure how much more explicit a law could be on those grounds.

Good News About Taxes! (Yes, Really.)
You should see if you’re eligible for an IRS pilot program that will be rolled out in 12 states this year.
By Adam Chodorow | Feb 01, 2024, 5:50 AM
As a tax professor, I love taxes: the theory, the policy, even the politics. But I have a confession to make. I hate doing them. My taxes are not complicated. Yet, every year, I spend hour upon hour gathering documents, paying for tax preparation software, entering in my income, and puzzling through the instructions as I try to figure out whether I am eligible for this or that deduction or credit. Every year, I think to myself: There has got to be a better way!
And there could be, so long as politicians got out of the way and let the IRS work directly with the American people. By that, I’m referring to a 2024 pilot program that would allow a large number of taxpayers to file directly with the IRS. It’s a huge deal! But like most things associated with taxes, it is complicated.

I've been saying for a decade this should be done, as long as its free for simple taxes. The free file program with 3rd party outfits is a pain in the ass at best, and a data harvesting nightmare with the great potential of a database leak of everyone's most sensitive information at worst.
But the IRS was in charge of it, so I would advise everyone to let somebody else be the guinea pigs for the first few years before they work out the bugs.
As the folks who bought a coal burning car in the last 2 years will tell you, never be an early adopter.

Why Men Are Drifting to the Far Right
Many men are falling behind. They need meaning and belonging.
Jan 29, 2024 | By Dr. Rachel Kleinfeld, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
https://www.persuasion.community/p/why-men-are-drifting-to-the-far-rig
ht
Last week, a widely-circulated analysis in the Financial Times confirmed what many researchers had long suspected: The ideological gap between men and women is growing.
Over the past fifteen years, men across the globe have voted for radical right-wing parties at much higher rates. Spain’s far-right, populist, and conspiracy-minded Vox party polls roughly twice as well among men compared with women. While men and women voted for Poland’s anti-democratic Law and Justice Party at similar rates last year, men voted for the even more extreme Konfederacja nearly three times as much as women. Data from a 2009 study of European parties that leaned authoritarian or populist found that men were generally around twice as likely as women to vote for them—and up to five times more likely in the case of the nationalist-populist Swedish Democrats.
It’s not just Europe: Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro performed 10 points better among men than women in the 2018 election which brought him to power. Roughly the same gender difference pushed Argentina’s new populist libertarian leader, Javier Milei, over the top last November.
In some countries, gender aligns very closely with other social or demographic variables like class, education, and employment—but in a number of places, being male makes a big difference, independent of other factors.
The United States is no exception. As women moved strongly to the left, men have moved to the right, creating a gap between male and female voting that was greater for Trump in 2016 than in a half century of exit polling. While much has been written on the role of race in recent elections, gender is playing a crucial and different role. White men formed Trump’s core support in 2016, but by 2020, Trump polled 12 points better with black men than black women, winning 18% of the black male vote.
People who care about democracy could read these numbers and conclude that they should simply double down on getting women to vote. But giving up on half of one’s country is not good civics—nor is it smart electoral math.
The problem is not that men are natural crusaders for authoritarian populists. In fact, American men are much more likely to be politically apathetic, and most young men are better characterized as confused and drifting. The problem is that anti-democratic and violent forces are trying to weaponize that aimlessness. Politics is coming into most men’s lives subtly. They look for belonging, purpose, and advice, and find a mix of grifters, political hacks, and violent extremists who lead them down an ugly road. And few people are fighting back.
Popular culture focuses on Elon Musk, Davos CEOs, and the other men flourishing at the top of society’s heap. But that’s not where the majority of men exist. Men with only a high school diploma typically earned $1,017 a week in today’s dollars in 1979; now they earn $881. More than one in ten men in their prime aren’t working at all.
It’s not just about money, but about status and life satisfaction. Women are out-graduating men from high school and vastly out-competing them in college. These women aren’t so interested in men who are less educated and earn poorly, so men without college degrees are marrying less. Over 1.5 million men aged 20 to 24 aren’t in school, training, or work, and these men are having a lot less sex than past generations and their more productive peers.
Unsurprisingly, young men without college degrees report that they have the least optimism and purpose in life among all the groups of men surveyed by Equimundo. Many have lost a reliable way to earn a living. They also claim to have the least social support and are uncertain how to have basic relationships—with friends, let alone romantic partners.

Killing shows Trump losing control of fans triggered by violent rhetoric: analysis
By Kathleen Culliton | February 1, 2024 12:08PM ET
https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-maga-violence-2667146349/
Donald Trump is losing control over the unstable MAGA base as his violent rhetoric pushes past the brink of sanity, and the proof is a decapitated federal worker’s head, a new analysis contends.
Salon’s Amanda Marcotte Thursday took a hard look at the disturbing news to come out of Pennsylvania Tuesday night when Justin Mohn, 33, posted YouTube video demanding violence against the government with his dead father’s head in full view.
Marcotte acknowledges Mohn’s mental health problems, but argues there’s a bigger issue to blame.
“The people who spread hateful and violent rhetoric, starting with Donald Trump, know full well that unstable people are listening and will take this rhetoric as an excuse to act,” writes Marcotte. “In many cases, the loudmouths are counting on it.”
This tactic nearly served Trump’s purposes well on Jan. 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in hopes of disrupting the peaceful transfer of power to reinstate their leader.
Subsequent investigations have found mental health problems were rife among the hordes, which Marcotte argues makes them valuable for a very specific reason.
“Trump knows full well that a lot of his biggest fans are unwell or in crisis, which makes them vulnerable to conspiracy theories and false promises that MAGA (or QAnon) will give them community and purpose,” Marcotte writes.
“That's also likely why Trump saw the Capitol rioters as especially disposable.”
Trump’s “just jokes” defense may protect him in the short term, but as the presidential race gains speed and he amps up his tactics, he’s finding himself unable to control what “the little guys” behind him will do, Marcotte argues.
“They're lashing out in a chaotic manner close to home,” Marcotte writes, “instead of in strategic ways to advance the MAGA agenda.”
Trump would probably like to see his base organize another mass political disruption but without the power of the White House behind him, he can’t solve the problem they face, Marcotte writes.
“Trump followers have been scared away from more organized violence,” Marcotte writes. “In truth, they just don’t want to get arrested…and are using conspiracy theories to justify their own cold feet.”
But as Trump blasts his followers with violent rhetoric and the main base comes up with strange excuses, it’s the mentally unwell people on the fringes who are pushed far enough to take action, Marcotte concludes.
“All that hate and anger is going to go somewhere,” she writes, “and often the target is close to home.”

After watching a clip of Trump disparaging NATO, Bolton told the MSNBC host, "I think Trump actually says what comes to mind. As a very astute person once said to me, he doesn't have a filter between his brain and his mouth."
"So when he, for example, threatens to get out of NATO, as he did during his first term and has done since then, I think people better believe it, and I think that would be a catastrophic mistake for American national security and the security of the west as a whole" he added.
"In the clip you just ran, he said several things that are simply incorrect," he asserted. "And it reveals an important trait about Trump on national security issues and many others: he is fundamentally ignorant. He really doesn't care about the facts. He thinks international relations are about personal relations, which is a line and approach that I can tell you, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are eagerly looking forward to."

"And it reveals an important trait about Trump on national security issues and many others: he is fundamentally ignorant. He really doesn't care about the facts. He thinks international relations are about personal relations, which is a line and approach that I can tell you, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are eagerly looking forward to."

You don't even need Bolton to know that NATO exists because Russia invaded Europe and did not leave until the Soviet Union collapsed its economy because of the extraordinary stupidity of the Russians. Western Europe started NATO to prevent Russia from taking all of Europe, imposing a stupid economic system, and making every European as poor as a Russian. Trump doesn't know any of this because he is stupid.
Trump does not even know that the US Army stopped Russia from taking over all of Europe in 1945.
But if John Bolton told 6ix that fact, 6ix would not believe it because John Bolton is evil.

Miles Taylor has something to say about Trump. Taylor was an appointee who served in the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from 2017 to 2019, including as chief of staff of the DHS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Taylor_(security_expert)
A Warning To Heed
February 1, 2024
https://andrewtobias.com/a-warning-to-heed/
I listened to Miles Taylor on a zoom yesterday, conducted from the safe house his family has had to move into, and bought Blowback, his new book.
“Things aren’t as bad as you’ve been led to believe,” one insider told him before he signed on as Trump’s Homeland Security chief of staff. “They’re worse.”
And would be much, much worse, he is certain, if Trump returned to power.
More and more, we’re seeing Trump voters saying they’d prefer a dictatorship to democracy if the dictator were Trump. (Watch just two minutes.)
At the same time, lawmakers fear for their safety — not just their jobs, their lives — if they oppose the great leader. Just as in Russia or North Korea.
Poll workers, too.
The threat is huge.
Taylor believes it’s 50/50 that American democracy ends November 5.

Originally posted by 6ixStringJack:

Men with only a high school diploma have seen their incomes slide and then slide some more. There were brief exceptions during the expansions of the late '90s and aughts, but they didn't last. Right now, men with no college earn 6% less than they did 30 years ago. The college kids, who were already making more, have opened up ever bigger leads over time.
In other words, it's really true that blue-collar men in particular have an economic beef they probably don't think Democrats take seriously. On the other hand, this started as far back as Nixon, long before neoliberals took over the party. It's also true that by far the worst decade for blue-collar men was the Reagan era and the best decade was the Clinton era. But they loved Reagan and didn't care much for Clinton. Economics just doesn't seem like it can explain much.
Every time this comes up, I refresh myself on the evidence and end up coming back to the same thing: the two drivers of Democratic losses are race and culture. Race is obvious: the white South has switched pretty much completely from Democratic to Republican and it was quite obviously due to the Civil Rights Act and other racial turnabouts of the '60s and beyond. Today, the Republican Party is almost entirely white. In Congress, there are currently four Black Republican House members out of 222 and one Black senator out of 49. That's less than 2%.
Culture is also fairly obvious because we've talked it to death over the past couple of decades. Working class discontent with liberals has been driven by an underlying long-term trend starting in the counterculture '60s and then supercharged by Fox News starting in the late '90s. Fox may tell their audience that Democrats are bad for the economy, but they spend ten times as much time obsessing over the latest cultural outrage from liberals. You could pretty much write a political history of the right just by listing the most common subjects covered by Fox News over the years since 2001. It's gone from Muslims to voter fraud to the tea party to Critical Race Theory to whatever they decide to focus on this year.
Research suggests that Fox News generates about 3% more votes for Republicans than they'd otherwise get. In a 50-50 electorate, that's a lot. And it doesn't help that Democrats make themselves so easy to attack. From "Defund the Police" to extreme softness on the border to defending trans girls competing in high school sports, liberals have been pushing the boundaries of social conventions pretty hard. That scares ordinary people and costs votes.
There's probably not a lot we can do about race. Some people are racists and that's that. We just have to fight them. But we could probably tone down the cultural leftism and adopt moderately more populist economic policies. It wouldn't take a lot. But it might make enough of a difference to sink the Republicans for the coming decade.

Republicans and Democrats consider each other immoral – even when treated fairly and kindly by the opposition
By Phillip McGarry, Ph.D. Candidate in Experimental Psychology, University of Tennessee | February 1, 2024 8:32am EST
Why it matters
Our experiments illustrate the magnitude of current political polarization in the United States, which has been increasing for at least the last four decades.
Americans with different political opinions could once cooperate and maintain friendships with one another. But as political attitudes begin to coincide with moral convictions, partisans increasingly view each other as immoral.
My colleagues and I are particularly interested in this topic, as we worry about the potential for political polarization based on moral convictions to descend into political violence.
Psychology researcher Eli Finkel and his colleagues have suggested that moral judgment plays a major role in political polarization in the United States. My research team wondered if acts demonstrating good moral character could counteract partisan animosity. In other words, would you think more highly of someone who treated you well – regardless of their political leanings?
We decided to conduct an experiment based on game theory and turned to the Ultimatum Game, which researchers developed to study the role of fairness in cooperation. Psychology researcher Hanah Chapman and her colleagues have demonstrated that unfairness in the Ultimatum Game elicits moral disgust, making it a good tool for us to use to study moral judgment in real-time.
The Ultimatum Game allowed us to experimentally manipulate whether partisans were treated unfairly, fairly or even kindly by political opponents. Participants had no knowledge about the person they were playing with beyond party affiliation and how they played the game.

So, who is Mayorkas and what did he allegedly do?
Mayorkas is a former federal prosecutor who held high-level immigration-related roles in the Obama administration before being appointed to his current job by Joe Biden. The articles of impeachment drafted against him by Republicans on the Homeland Security committee say he has “repeatedly violated laws enacted by Congress regarding immigration and border security.” They claim that Mayorkas should be holding every undocumented migrant encountered by border agents in detention while their cases are being processed and that he is violating the law by releasing some of them into the country while they await a ruling on their status.
Is that a fair charge?
People besides Republicans on the Homeland Security committee—including prominent conservative legal commentators and the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal—generally agree that it is not. In recent years, starting during the Trump administration, the U.S. has seen an unprecedented surge of attempted migration. There are vastly more people trying to enter the country over its southwest border than there are federal facilities to hold them in, and there are not enough federal officials to handle the many claims of eligibility for asylum that these individuals submit. The backlog of cases in immigration court is yearslong, and both the Biden and Trump administrations have responded to the overload by releasing some migrants while they await adjudication of their status.
Could Mayorkas and Biden simply turn people away without taking their asylum claims?
No — or, at least, a federal court already ruled that this was illegal when Trump tried it in 2018, which is why a bipartisan group in the Senate is reportedly negotiating legislation that would give the president more authority to do so. The bill would also reportedly appropriate money to hire more asylum officers and immigration judges. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, however, says the lower chamber will reject this bill, again on the grounds that Biden and Mayorkas could be doing more under current law.
David Bier of the libertarian Cato Institute noticed that two of the court cases that Republicans cite to argue that Mayorkas has certain existing authorities were actually reversed on appeal . . .

"Trump basically gave the people in his White House permission to not obey the law"
By Chauncey Devega | February 2, 2024 5:45AM (EST)
https://www.salon.com/2024/02/02/either-malpractice-or-criminal-dr-jus
tin-frank-on-power-and/
Political scientist Brian Klaas warns in his book “Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us": “Whatever specific interventions are adopted, a big part of the battle is acknowledging a core problem: those who shouldn’t be in power are more likely to seek it. We need to design every system to try to screen out the corruptible, power-hungry candidates.”
New reporting about the inner workings of the White House during the Trump administration sheds even more light on the ex-president’s corrupting power and influence over the people around him and the type of toxic environment he created and enabled while in office. From Rolling Stone:
Quote:In an attempt to better understand the Trump White House pharmacy scandal, I recently spoke with Dr. Justin Frank. He is a former clinical professor of psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center and the author of "Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President."
White House pharmacists reportedly distributed uppers and downers like candy to Trump administration officials during his time in office, according to a new report from the Department of Defense Inspector General.
The 80-page document, which was released on Jan. 8, found that “all phases of the White House Medical Unit’s pharmacy operations had severe and systemic problems due to the unit’s reliance on ineffective internal controls to ensure compliance with pharmacy safety standards.” ...
While Trump lived under the White House roof, the pharmacy reportedly kept messy, handwritten records, spent lavishly on brand-name medications, and failed to comply with a slew of federal law and Department of Defense regulations governing the handling, distribution, and disposal of prescription medication.
Through in-person inspections and interviews with over 120 officials, the report concluded “that the White House Medical Unit provided a wide range of health care and pharmaceutical services to ineligible White House staff in violation of Federal law and regulation and DoD policy. Additionally, the White House Medical Unit dispensed prescription medications, including controlled substances, to ineligible White House staff.”
In this conversation, Dr. Frank shares his professional insights about the Trump White House pharmacy and why it was so dangerous. He also discusses the specific drugs and narcotics that were apparently being given out there with few or any controls of limits and how they could impact people’s behavior and moods – which includes the possibility of fatal outcomes.
Dr. Frank also continues to warn about Trump’s extremely dangerous mind and overall pattern of behavior and why as seen with the second E. Jean Carroll court case for defamation, and escalating threats of violence and retribution against his “enemies”, that the corrupt ex-president will not be stopped by “the walls closing in." Instead, Dr. Frank predicts that Trump is a malignant narcissist who will go down in a blaze of glory before he ever surrenders or is otherwise made to yield in his assaults on society, human decency, and the rule of law.

So the fuck what?
I just saw a video of a woman clinging for her life on the hood of her car careening down the middle of downtown Los Angels in broad daylight as somebody who just carjacked her took her dog too.
We don't indict anybody who needs to be indicted in the 2020s. Especially not Democrat Politicians who put everybody in this situation.

The liars at outlier Quinnipiac had to put that Biden* +6 poll out to try to stop the momentum.
https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs
-biden
CNN had Trump at +4 yesterday and NBC News put Trump +5 today.
CNN's last poll from 10/27-11/2 had Trump at +4 (No Change) and NBC News's last poll from 11/10-11/14 had Trump at only +2 (3 points less for Trump 3 weeks ago than now).
The liars at Quinnipiac had Biden* up only +1 with their last poll during 12/14-12/18, so they're going the opposite way that even Lefty shill networks CNN and NBC News are going.
Just figured I'd point that out to anybody celebrating Trump's fall from +4 points just a few days ago. Once Quinnipiac ages off the list he'll be right back up there again.
And none of that above polling even factors in 3rd party challengers where Trump holds a commanding lead of +4.8 in a 5-way race.

Don't believe any media hype telling you that 3rd Party challengers hurt Trump more than they hurt Biden*. It's simply untrue.
