Trump and Noem harped that undocumented immigrants would be always offered an immediate expulsion out of the USA before they get put in Alligator Alcatraz, like it was a spoon full of sugar. I guess they don't like the name Alligator Auschwitz. They want the sadism as a meme but don't want to provoke all the people who can still think and feel normal things. So they do it slow.
They want wives to have tons of babies and then die young so the man can remarry someone
young and not have to give up any wealth or assets divorce would cause.
Obama had to be perfect and still they crucified him:
Unfortunately yes. Like the study of evolutionary psychology
used to have gatekeepers who would log on and say "why are you bothering asking evolutionary psychology questions. It doesn't add up to a hill of beans". Evolutionary psychology is the key to everything about the mind. I thought this is very strange. Someone with a lot of money is paying people to not very effectively tamp down interest in a subject of science.
Made me think, at the time, rich assholes like the Kochs or someone are hoarding information they don't want the public to know about. Of course big ceos would be doing psychology studies in their marketing departments and the political institutes they fund would be doing it too. Both arms would want to keep ideas from the public. Made me want to study it more.
And if someone has figured out some evolutionary psychological mind bending fact but don't share it with the public they should not be given credit for it. Only ideas that are novel, salient, useful and SHARED PUBLICALLY should be lauded. Thankfully human beings reinvent the wheel often so science will march on helping people and discouvering ideas again and again and the evolutionary psychology trolls seem to have disappeared.
I'm noticing that in recipes on the internet
they are at times giving the wrong times. Like "blend a smoothie for one hour". Things like that. A few months ago I noticed historical OPs on the internet would have the wrong place or year of an event. I wondered then as I do now are they trying to make us not trust information? If that is part of seeding the conditions where fascism will be accepted?
Anybody else come along obvious mistakes in sites that used to be solid (solid for historical OPs)?
Gen Z's Stunning Partisan Split

“America’s youngest voters are far likelier to vote Republican than their older siblings,” Axios reports.
“Generation Z may be better understood as two distinct sub-generations — divided, in large part, by how they experienced the shock of Covid-19.”
“Stunning stat: The latest iteration of the Yale Youth Poll found extraordinary 18-point partisan gap between younger and older members of Generation Z. When asked whether they’d pick a Democratic or Republican candidate in the midterm elections, voters age 22–29 favored Democrats by 6.4 points, while those age 18–21 favored Republicans by 11.7 points.”

No wonder Trump refuses to follow the law and get rid of TikTok.
Trump is dyslexic so that is why he is so vague.
Dyslexics speak in vague ways and go with the gist of things. We counterpunch and pull down human constructs (like democracy or raw capitalism depending on which side you are on) and are good at things that take exploration of unknown facts but bad at managing facts once they are known. They are populists which is why Republicans have been running them since Reagan. Churchill, Napoleon, Hitler, Eleanor Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, JFK, Reagan, Bushes 1&2, and now Trump are all dyslexics of one kind or another. Hopefully people get tired of Trump's vagueness you talk about as they did with Justin Trudeau in Canada and Churchill (they voted him out in 1945 if you can believe it, just after he had won WWII).
Trump orders ICE officers to expand deportation efforts in Democratic cities

President Donald Trump called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to expand deportation efforts in Democratic cities and “do all in their power” to achieve mass deportations in a social media post Sunday.
“ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History,” the president posted on Truth Social as he traveled on Air Force One to Canada for the G7 summit.
The president’s post comes as CNN has reported that ICE has been racing to meet White House arrest quotas and on the heels of Trump acknowledging that his immigration policies have impacted farm workers and those in the hospitality industry.
.......
The president also directed ICE to “expand efforts” in “the Democrat Power Center” while claiming without evidence that his political opponents are using “Illegal Aliens” to “cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State.”

Trump is gunning to destabilize Democratic economies who rely on undocumented workers. Trump sure like choosing winners and losers.

“Marines deployed to Los Angeles temporarily detained a civilian on Friday, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by President Donald Trump,” Reuters reports.
Applegrove: what action can be taken to make sure this is not a precident?
Trump: take something away (the security of undocumented agri workers
picking the food we eat - the well being of Americans) then give it back so people feel relief and grateful. That is a typical psychopath move.
