    They were arrested in El Salvador, likely the charge is “Fuck that person in particular”. El Salvador has long since left any semblance of law and order, that’s why Trump has become so cozy with them.

    I will be absolutely shocked if the person is still alive a year from now. And this also highlights why everyone knew that trying to mount legal defense from El Salvadorian jurisdiction was never going to happen. The country has demonstrated zero compunction with incarcerating people the government doesn’t like and indicating that legal rationale isn’t needed to justify their actions.








  • there could be almost 10 million borrowers in default in a few months

    That’s not a small amount. That’s fucking with economic outlook levels.

    As for their program to “guide” folks to repayment, I mean you might as well tell them that they’re indentured servants at this point. Bully tactics are not going to work in an economy where it does not matter how much or little credit you have.

    And I highly doubt this administration has any kinds of plans to gentle get folks back to repayment. I fully expect, “pay your loans or we will make you a slave for the rest of your life” to be their go to solution.

    There’s a correct manner to handle this, I expect Trump’s administration to fuck it up every step of the way.





  • Schedule F classification. Trump tried it once towards the end of his first term, promised that he would do it again when he came back into office but Trump lost that election.

    That he’s now doing again is literally no surprise. He absolutely promised that this would happen and spoke about how he was going to do it if he won 2024 after losing 2020.

    Long story short, this creates what basically amounts to at-will employment at the Federal level. Again, this should come as a shock to no one, like he started detailing the implementation back in 2022, before he even got the nomination, it’s literally one of the most consistent things about Trump’s policy.

    Now if you’re wondering, yes, at-will employment styled employment in Federal Office will mean that if Trump doesn’t like someone for any reason, they can be let go, zero employment protections.





  • He has pent up emotional trauma that he has refused to work through with a therapist like a normal human being.

    Thus he sees inflicting human suffering as a viable alternative to working through those issues. Because that was he can feel better knowing others are worse off.

    That’s the dog. Should it be in the race? Nah. But some cucklefucks just refuse to act like normal human beings. Maybe a therapist isn’t alpha male enough or some shit? But for one reason or another they just refuse to address their mental trauma like normal people.





  • I’ll say it again. These Mennonites are never going to change their stance on vaccines. Most are stuck with beliefs dating back to the early 1700s. Hell the couple in question with the six year old who died speak a broken English + Early 18th Century Low Germanic language.

    These people are beyond back woods. Asking them to change is about as likely as having the sun set in the East. Their daughter dying from a preventable disease isn’t some lack of prevention, to them it was the will of God.

    You might as well walk up to a seven year old and ask them to perform triple bypass surgery. These people are unable to understand a vaccine. They lack the quantifiable knowledge to even begin to comprehend a vaccine.

    People might ask how many of their children must die before they vaccinate. The answer is 100% of them. Likely fully explaining vaccines and microbiology to them would likely be seen as human arrogation in God’s will. They would rather be wiped from the face of the Earth than to believe they have some sort of say over God’s will.

    That is the kind of people we are talking about here. They will unquestionably follow the “laws” of their religion even if it means the painful death of everyone they love. You CAN NOT CHANGE these people. It is impossible.
