Antifa in Newark are throwing teargas that ICE threw at them at a separate non ICE prison just up the road. I wish Portland Andy was streaming, this is getting spicy.
The administration has wised up to their shit by now. Make no mistake, license plates, faces and other biometric data is being collected on these people.

Trump really needs to get a better handle on the affordability crisis. Right now we're on a collision course. Affluent spenders and AI are the only two things propping up the stock market and economy. If those collapse, he is looking at a recession, possible depression if he handles the Iran war the wrong way. AI is getting valid pushback thanks to the carelessness of the CEOs, and if affluent spenders push back, the economy will shut down.

Whats most frustrating is that Trump could easily fix this and punish the companies offshoring which would solves many problems; give zoomers back jobs, and give AI a boost. Corporate greed however, has gotten out of control lately and Trump is a boomer so Im not hopeful of any real solutions. By ignoring the crisis, socialist candidates, no matter how retarded they are, will get a larger platform because a dumb solution is better than no solution. The administration and MAGA ignore this at their own peril.
 
This is more low energy than Minneapolis, which was more low energy than LA, which was more low energy than Floyd. I’m sensing a pattern here.

National Socialists?
I think everyone is making the mistake that socialism only comes from gay race communism.

Nothing that a billion indians cant solve! Vivek to the rescue.
 
OOH, WE'RE GETTING MARTIAN LAW! Who's ready to enforce the sacred law of the red planet?

To be a little fair to Trump, there's not much he can actually do purely on his own. He can ease off a little pressure with executive orders but not enough to be really substantial. Congress being gummed up with limp-wristed Republicans can't even get voter ID taken care despite it having the support of most Americans.

On the housing front Trump has the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which passed in the senate but the house is fucking things up. The act itself actually looks pretty good if it can just get to his desk.

The RINOs are the biggest problem right now, but I don't think any have survived when up for the primary this year.

If socialism fans want their ideology to spread they really should consider a name change for it. Not that it has any chance of spreading to a point where socialists have real power of course.
 
There’s something very odd about this one. It’s not getting the usual “boosting” that these protest normally get.
I think they've realized DHS is probably serious about shutting down international travel, which would be fucking devastating to the state right now, no matter how much whining they do. They cannot possibly hurt the administration as much as that kind of shutdown will hurt them. So I think right now they're having some "fun" internal discussions: "do we push this ICE shit more and risk the airport, or do we let ICE get away with [doing their actual jobs]?" Either way they know they're fucked. I think they're just trying to decide which option hurts less (remember letting go of agitprop like this at the ICE center means abandoning all the money they spent setting things up and working to "unwind" their pre-wired useful idiots prematurely, which isn't always easy -- if you're 80 IQ and pumped up and ready to fuck shit up for The Cause™, you'd feel pretty pissed if orders from on high say "lol nvm we're giving up and letting them win").

more importantly, I don't think they can course correct because they've outright convinced themselves that open borders are a good thing and wort risking literally everything for. Otherwise they would've course corrected when the videos went viral of an unimaginable amount of illegals sitting under a bridge, or all the times an illegal turns out to be a criminal.

Very few people are prospering off AI right now. We're in the part of the cycle where they're firing people to keep the stock going up.
 
Please let this go hot right before FIFA. I'm already suffering endlessly with these Euros and 3rd worlders fucking up my work. Let there be pain.
Can somebody explain to me why these world cup games are fixin' to be massive logistical clusterfucks? We have NFL games in the same stadium and it's an average sunday, why is a world cup game an apocalypse?

Besides the DHS shutdown threat, they're basically protesting an actual jail (right next to this detention center), are sitting right next to/under a gas(? oil?) pipeline (that's what that weird gantry over the road is you see in a lot of clips, I'm surprised they haven't tried to attack it yet tbh), are right down the street from both a waste management center and a bus depot (not to mention a bunch of warehouses) and this street is one of two exit roads from a large port. They are fucking with the entire city by shitting up this one road.

The only thing they aren't an active danger to that's also on that street of key infrastructure is a water treatment facility, and that's purely because everything is piped in underground.

FIFA is batshit insane and wants stuff to be "car free" - maybe they've gone back on that since but that's the last news regarding the FIFA World Cup I heard, imagine it's similar for most.

Just wait until multiple companies start realizing AI might cost more to use than it is to hire people full time with benefits. It isn’t something that I think can take over as many jobs as the doomers think because just the electrical costs are absurdly high. Then you have to also train the remaining workers there to use the AI, which can sometimes be more redundant and actually take longer than doing it by hand. Then add in the fact that even with the advancements in AI, even for coding, you still have to understand coding enough to proofread the AI code to find mistakes.

AI does have its uses, but the grifters oversell its capabilities, while the CEOs view it as an instant profit increaser. It’s then this endless feedback loop between the AI grifters like Sam Altman and the CEOs like Bezos trying to make the most money possible through sheer hype alone, which typically ends in disaster if said product fails to live up to that hype.
