Quote from: Brent on January 13, 2026, 11:51:34 AMTim Walz is getting desperate. He will likely be impeached and arrested. So what does he do? Why an insurrection of course.

Does this mean the National Guard is going to block federal agents from enforcing the law?

Quote from: Reggie Essent on January 13, 2026, 05:30:44 PMBigs,

The "case-by-case" vetting you are outlining is already provisioned by the DHS directives.  All illegals, without regard to how long they have been here, must self-deport. Doing so puts them on the list to return legally. Failure to self deport and being swept up by ICE precludes any chance to legally return.

I'm all for some kind of Commission for expediting the process of vetting long-term illegal aliens for return to their communities.  This is something that should be proposed and discussed to recognize that there are probably many thousands of long-term illegals that might deserve to be given break.

But as I said, this type of recognition is already provisioned in the DHS directive that all illegals MUST self deport to be eligible for legal return.

The line jumpers gotta jump through the hoops, man.
I understand that. But self deporting for a person who has been here for 20 years is not as easy in the real world as you are making it seem here.

What does this person do on day two upon arrival in what is now a completely foreign land after he self deports? What does his family do if he is the bread winner and they happen to be US citizens?

it is not as easy in practice as it is in theory.

Now if you said to me that a provision exists where people could show up at a predetermined facility close to their areas of residence where their case can be evaluated fairly without any intervention from this broken extortion ring we attempt to pass off as a justice system -  and that decades of faithful adherence to our laws and values would afford them a high probability of continuation then I'd happily jump on board.

but we both know that is NOT what is being presented as a genuine and feasible option here.

What is being presented is tantamount to asking someone to play Russian roulette with at least two bullets in the chamber and assuring them the odds are in their favor. No one in their right mind is taking that up.

Likewise, a person who has actually built something here with the sweat of their own hands is going to have a hell of a lot of hesitation walking away from that under the promise that coming back through the front door will reunite them with all that they have lost... with our broken system? In what, 10 to 15 years after they are thoroughly bankrupted? no one in their right mind under those circumstances is doing that and it would be unreasonable to use that as the basis to pigeon hole their character profile.

Think about it realistically for a second. By their own admissions the DHS say they are seeking out people with Court Orders to Deport. How would there be a court order in the first place had this person not attempted, at one point or another, to go the judicial route. Cause I can tell you right now, I know lots of people that have been here for years and never seen the inside of a court house, let alone have their cases presented before a judge.

So let's devise a system where we incentivize them to come to us with assurances that there is a reasonably attainable end goal. Make it clear that all bets are off if we have to come get you. Show compassion. Show reasonableness and the good ones will come to you.

Again, I am advocating for a very small population here. I'd be outright stunned if 50,000 people currently in this country fit the profile I am referring to. The bar is as it should be. High. And I am certainly not referring to animals who commit crimes or jerkoffs like the one we saw on tiktok mocking Americans and teaching his kind how to squad in other peoples houses. they can get fucked and starve to death for all I care.

But I can definitely find it within myself to show mercy to the guy who's worked his ass off for the last 20 years in construction 6 or 7 days a week and can probably say that he's in one way or another built 50% of the houses in the town he lives him. He's stayed out of trouble, contributed positively to society and is a man of high moral character.  Or the mother equally moral to the man I just described who gave birth to a son here 20 plus years ago that went on to become a Marine and fight in one of our many pointless wars -- and God forbid did not make it home.

Are you prepared to tell her thanks for your sacrifice now get the fuck out ? I'm not.

Quote from: Oliver the Second on January 13, 2026, 07:12:59 PMYup! One time in school I smarted off to the teacher and she sent me to the principals office. The principal grabbed the paddle and gave me some good whacks and then called my mom. When dad got home that night she told him about it and he gave me a few more. And you know what? I never smarted off to the teacher again!


Pffft!  My dad always made it a point to personally tell the school office staff, teachers and Principal that if any of his kids got out of line they had his permission to smack the shit of us.

It was a better, vanished time.

Scott Adams, famed for 'Dilbert,' dies at 68



Scott Adams, the East Bay cartoonist who became internationally famous for his "Dilbert" comic strip that satirized the absurdity of corporate culture, has died of prostate cancer at age 68, his first ex-wife revealed Tuesday.

In a livestream of the "Real Coffee With Scott Adams" podcast, Shelly Miles said that his death came peacefully, as he was surrounded by loved ones after he had moved into hospice a day or so earlier. Miles also read a final letter he had written, dated Jan. 1, revealing that he was of sound mind and had converted to Christianity after long describing himself as agonistic.

Adams first revealed that he had cancer in May, saying that it was the same form of cancer that President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with. He also revealed that it had metastasized to his bones.

His comic strip, started in 1989, appeared in more 2,000 papers at its peak, allowing him to launch a series of bestselling books, a short-lived TV show and lines of merchandise. But it all came crashing down in 2023, when he was dropped by hundreds of newspapers in 2023 after he called Black Americans a "hate group" and said that white people should "just get the hell away" from them. He later defended his remarks as hyperbole.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on January 13, 2026, 05:02:53 PMSounds reasonable enough.

Provided the following as a caveat. If they can prove either of two things then I would be looking to go after the true culprit to make the American tax payer whole.

1. If they can prove they went through the immigration process with an attorney and were assured citizenship but it turns out they were lied to. In such a case they too are a victim and the real predator is the attorney.. whom we should go after.

2. They can prove previous employers withheld taxes. In a situation where the government was never actually paid we should then go after employer and carve a provision for them to start accruing  said benefits as they are not culpable for the actions of that dishonest employer. Unless they were somehow in on the arraignment. then all bets are off.

Other than that? They lived free and clear of taxes for 20 years and had to know something was wasn't quite right  with that but continued down that pathway anyway. Under such a circumstance options you stipulate are a fair penance to atone for their sins.

No voting rights.

Deal?
