If it doesn’t serve right wing propaganda and misinformation? It has to go.

“AND THEN, THEY CAME FOR US…” 😡 Trump has informed the UW-Madison that if it doesn’t cut its Dept. of Energy budget from its usual negotiated rate of 55.5% down to 15% — federally funded research projects

(including those aimed at diagnosing and treating cancer!) “will be terminated.”

But that’s not all…

On Friday, the PUBLIC UNIVERSITY also received notice it should stop encouraging underrepresented groups to participate in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) as well as research on diversity and misinformation.

“The cuts that have been proposed at the federal level could have devastating impacts on research as well as education. Currently, the university is appealing funding decisions with agencies and is also participating in legal challenges to prevent wrongful cuts, grant terminations and delays,” Chancellor Mnookin said in a statement.

“At a high level, it is not hard to imagine the damage the cuts and related actions will ultimately do to Wisconsin’s innovation economy. They will inevitably impact the next generation of scientists and inventors. They will also harm our national security and our ability to be competitive in developing critical new technologies on a global scale.”

You’re absolutely correct. They grossly overestimate the intelligence of the American population. The ones who believed democrats are aborting babies up to one year after birth and that schools are performing plastic surgeries during lunch breaks are definitely not the kind of people who have the capacity to understand anything above 3rd grade level. They’re in their millions and they all voted.

The depth of what needs to be understood cannot be fully explored with the current mindset and education level of the average American now. The only thing that can make them vote is mind addling propaganda or extreme suffering. And the suffering might not even work if the punisher has them convinced via propaganda that the other side is responsible.

Democrats need to work on becoming propagandists.
They need a slow simple slogan to communicate this. 3 to 5 words max.

I agree that Democrats need to be propagandists and conspiracy theorists if possible the difference is that they wouldn't be lying.
However, I don't believe messaging is the problem. The average American voter is wicked and an idiot. They are genuinely dumb and have no knowledge on anything that's how Republicans like them. Uneducated and stupid. It's not a messaging problem. Many people knew what they were doing when they voted for Orange fool over Kamala.

Don't rest

You still have 3yrs and 9months of wailing to go

TDS is making you cry everyday more than the bereaved even those who live and voted are not wailing like you

TDS ko..STD ni.

You think the US suffers a heavy decline or recession in isolation? You don't think the UK would be the first to follow in a similar recession?

The fact that I have to explain this is baffling. Sometimes it seems like you are living in a complete vacuum. Asking me numerous times how it affects me in the UK. At least Basilico is nuts, what happened to you?

You know how many American investors are in my industry? If they start pulling capital out, out of fear of a needless, self-inflicted recession, my businesses across 3 countries take a huge hit, and I may have to cut jobs. You think I want this?

But I have to explain to you how Trump affects me.


On the politics front, the advent of Trump is giving wings to right-wing nut jobs like Nigel Farage, Tomi Robinson, Kemi Badenoch who are trying to be popular by uttering the most outlandish extreme nonsense. Labour is swinging right for the first time in God knows when, in the appeal for votes and power.

But you are asking how it affects me.

A sitting judge being arrested is serious. There’s no doubt about that. But as with any criminal case — especially one involving immigration enforcement and judicial authority — the facts matter. And right now, I would like to see more of them.

Judge Hannah Dugan has been charged with obstructing a U.S. agency and concealing an individual to prevent arrest. The Department of Justice alleges that she helped an undocumented immigrant avoid being arrested by government agents at the courthouse. At this stage, I’m watching this case carefully because the facts are going to be critical.

If Judge Dugan intentionally helped someone evade a valid warrant — meaning a warrant that legally allowed federal agents to enter a courtroom and arrest that person — then sure, we may be crossing into criminal territory. But I don’t know if that’s what happened here. And based on what’s publicly available right now, I have real skepticism about the government’s case.

We’ve seen in other high-profile prosecutions that the government’s early allegations often don’t hold up once the facts are tested in court. Charges can sound convincing when first announced — but not every case ends the way it starts.

That said, I understand why people are linking this arrest to broader constitutional concerns.
There is growing public anxiety about attacks on the judiciary — from online threats, to political figures encouraging the disregard of Supreme Court rulings, to a more general erosion of respect for judicial independence. Viewed in that context, the arrest of a sitting judge by federal authorities — even over conduct tied to a specific case — understandably feels alarming to many people.

The government will eventually have to prove whether Judge Dugan’s actions meet the high legal standard for obstruction or concealment.
And yes — I do believe this is an example of the government showing: “If you disagree with us, if you interfere with our immigration enforcement efforts, we will come down on you with the full weight of the law.”

I believe this case deserves close scrutiny.
And before you rush to defend it, ask yourself honestly: If the political parties were reversed — if this were a Democratic administration arresting a Republican judge — would you still think it was justified? I do not know. Maybe you would.

You know good and well their arrest warrant for that immigrant was more than likely invalid. Or their process of enforcing it was inappropriate at the very least.

I’ve never in my 30+ years of life seen an external arrest warrant carried out in a courtroom. Except when the sitting judge rules that someone is in contempt of courtroom decorum and orders the bailiff to remand them. But I’ll defer to your legal expertise.
Couldn’t they have waited until court was over to arrest the immigrant outside the courthouse?

Americans made their choice and are living with their choices, you are weeping daily over the choices of people thousands of miles away. Maybe you should focus more on the political choices you make, the choice of those you vote into power so that you won't be up at 2am crying daily

Maybe if your country were not dependent and leeching on the US for generations you won't be this invested in the choice of Americans made about their future. Trump campaigned to be president of America and not president of EU, UK or anywhere. It's America first

How many Americans care about your Keir Starmer or Kemi Badenoch politics

When the leech gets tolerated long enough they start to feel entitled. If you are feeling any pinch in the UK go and change how you vote. The moment Trump told the EU to start picking their own bills the intense belly ache started. No more big daddy America to defend you. Now live with your realities

Americans love their Trump and voted him twice, you can either write in to be an American colony so that Americans can think of you when making their political decisions or stop being a busy body crying more than Americans who live, love and voted Trump twice

Was trying to understand more of the details as well.
But from what I read ICE just had an administrative warrant not a juridical warrant and that bothered the judge.
There was also an agent in the elevator with the immigrant, so not sure how a foot chase ensued.
I feel the media in its reporting is giving too much deference to what the Trump administration claims happened.

Wtf?

In a brief order issued from Federal District Court in the Western District of Louisiana, Judge Terry A. Doughty questioned why the administration had sent the child — known in court papers only as V.M.L. — to Honduras with her mother even though her father had sought in an emergency petition on Thursday to stop the girl from being sent abroad.

“The government contends that this is all OK because the mother wishes that the child be deported with her,” wrote Judge Doughty, a conservative Trump appointee. “But the court doesn’t know that.”

Asserting that “it is illegal and unconstitutional to deport” a U.S. citizen, Judge Doughty set a hearing for May 16 to explore his “strong suspicion that the government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.”

Are you going to relinquish the dollar as the world's reserve currency? No!

Are you going to remove hundreds of your entire 800+ military bases across the world, including the 145 bases alone in the UK? NO!

Are you going to close embassies across the world, and remove the CIA from political intervention in geo-political interests across the world? NO!

Are you going to stop receiving and sharing intelligence data and surveillance activities with the FIVE EYES (which you rely on for your own safety)? No!

Are your banks going to shut down financial activities in Canary Wharf, Central London and go home? No!

Are your traders going to stop trading the FTSE, DAX40, FRA40, EUROSTOXX? No!

Are you going to pull out of interests for rare-earth minerals in Greenland, Congo? No!


So stop talking nonsense. For as long as you continue to do all of these up there, but with Trump in power, then America's problem is inherently my problem. If you cannot see this, I cannot help you.

Apple about moving their operating plant away from China to India for their American market.

Others should follow.
America should do something about their organised labour and labour laws so their companies will come back home. Else this cycle will continue. No company want to establish its industrial outfit outside its motherland as they enjoy protectionism and other benefits foreign companies don't enjoy. But in America, it's opposite,the govt and labour drive away companies. Remove dollar as world currency and America will fall like a part of cards. You all don't know how bad it is. It's China, today, tomorrow it will be India and America will keep slipping down.
New realignment happening globally but here, it's democrats versus republicans. I forgot, it's in our gene. Are we not Nigerians anymore?

Americans have been made to live in bubbles for years they think they are indispensable. China that was nothing 20yrs back is now a big threat to them

Continue fighting established wars by your politicians. American politicians have killed more people than the two world wars all over the world.

Gone are the days military might defines the strength of a country. China is a perfect example.
Undermined and overlooked but they are inching towards that number spot world slowly. China has loads of graduates that are idle and have no where to work. How many Americans still go to school. Remove international students,even Havard will collapse. Even in entertainment, it's shifting to Asia. Who would have thought.

Check out Chinese popular dramas and world views, compare with American soaps or movies.


Or is it music?

American musicians are now collaborating with people from other countries. Why?
Who would have thought.

Yep, if not managed well, an empire crumples.
That's the reality.
Britain was once world number one.

Netflix is logging it out with some Asia streaming sites that are cheaper as more of their annual income is gonna be coming from international viewers. Netflix is very expensive. The stuff I watch on Netflix which are from Asia I can get from other cheaper streaming sites from Asia and those stuffs are what Netflix is banking on either their cut throat subscription price. And they are always late when a drama is streaming.

I ended my affair with Netflix and so many people like me who love Asian contents are doing so. Why. America don't hold the ace anymore. As time goes on, more countries will stand up against American monopoly of lots of things like social media as China did. I don't even blame China as they learnt from the master

So if care is not taking,America is losing all round to Asia and the people are more interested in Trump's pant and knickers, instead of sitting down to work together for their own good. Politicians are not the ones losing. You are.

Welcome to India. China was once worst than India

Democrat judges protecting illegals.

It’s deja vu all over again. In 2018, District Court Judge Shelley Joseph allegedly helped a twice-deported illegal immigrant who appeared in her court on a drug charge escape using the back door of her courthouse in order to evade a waiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. She was indicted on federal charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice, as was Wesley MacGregor, her chief court officer.

The Boston Herald explained, however, that under the Biden administration, those charges will be dropped:
Joseph, who had been suspended with pay after she indicted, will be returning to the bench soon now that fellow woke Rhode Island U.S Attorney Zachary Cunha recommended that federal charges against her be dropped. The outlet noted that while Jose Medina Perez was in Joseph’s court facing drug charges, he was also wanted in Pennsylvania for drunk driving and had a federal warrant out for his arrest for being in the U.S. illegally.

An ICE agent attended the proceedings and was in the courtroom ready to take the migrant into custody after deliberations. However, the judge ordered the agent out of her courtroom. While the agent waited outside the front door to the courtroom, Joseph arranged for Perez to be released through a back door, which took place after Joseph held a sidebar with the migrant’s attorney. During that sidebar, Joseph ordered the clerk to shut off the courtroom recording device so as to ensure there would be no record of her comments, the Boston Herald continued.

She then allowed Perez, who was being accompanied by MacGregor, to flee, thereby evading the ICE agent.
The Trump Justice Department indicted Joseph, and she unsuccessfully tried to argue in federal district court that she was protected from prosecution by “absolute judicial immunity.” The federal judge said she had no such immunity and as such, ordered her to stand trial.

How come everyone has forgotten about the fact that this is not new.

No one is forcing anyone to adopt Dollar as UK reserve currency you can use Yen. Americans don't give a hoot what you decide to do. You actually do it because it's to your advantage

UK can tell the US to remove all their military bases from their country and run their defence solo to see where you end. We knew how much the UK PM begged last time for the US to help them against the 3rd Reich

You can choose to not share intelligence data and not receive as well.

American people will only vote for those who put America's interest first just like UK will vote only those who put UK interest first

That's why you have your govt and run your own election. Otherwise you can just become America's 51st state

Americans want Trump, we voted him twice not for you or to do UK wishes

If you are not satisfied with your country, you can hold your leaders accountable, vote better leaders or just migrate elsewhere

All these whining like toddlers from across the pond even way more than people who voted and live with Trump policies is peak TDS even worse than STD

ICE actually had an administrative warrant, which in all likelihood, was valid. Now, that type of warrant is only to be executed when the suspect is in an area accessible to the public.

The issue is that the judge facilitated the movement of the suspected through a special exit designated for the jury. This now leads to another question: did the county judge knowingly and willfully obstruct an ICE operation, even though the suspect was, at the material time, in her courtroom where she has near total control over?

Leave it Trump to take an issue they had sympathy amongst Americans on and turn it into a weakness.

Trump could have done everything legally.
They could hired 10x more immigration judges to speed up the process.
They could have even went to Congress for more legislation making it easier to deport people.
And there would have been little to impede them or for people to find issue with.
But they chose the authoritarian, break the law with impunity because they are above the law path.

Seems they have fully earned the distrust of the Judiciary and so the Judiciary is now pushing back.

There was a case something like this, not entirely similar in MA during Trump's first term.
Being curious where the line is, I looked up Massachusetts procedures and found this.

Policy and procedures regarding courthouse interactions with immigration and customs enforcement

B. Individuals coming to court who are not in Trial Court custody
In those instances where ICE officials seek to take custody of an individual in a courthouse, Trial Court employees shall neither impede nor assist the ICE officials in taking the individual into custody. The role of court officers is to maintain public safety and decorum in the courthouse. Court officers shall allow ICE to use the sallyport following the transfer of custody.

Nonpublic spaces in a courthouse, such as clerks’ offices or Probation offices, may not be used by ICE officials. No ICE official shall be permitted to take an individual into custody pursuant to a civil immigration detainer in a courtroom.
