> park their car in the middle of an ICE operation and then attempt to drive off after being told to stop?

> run around spitting and kicking out lights on an ICE vehicle?

Do you seriously believe pulling a gun and killing somebody is an appropriate response to such actions?

Because if you do, that is a dangerously authoritan attitude.


Why would they find it inappropriate? It's fun for them and they're guaranteed to get away with it. All the opposition does is vote harder and ask nicely that the state not do it again.

Worst case, someone sues and it's paid by OPM. But having been the subject of brutality by CBP, I can tell you it's almost impossible to find a lawyer (all the ones I talked to had already tried and lost so many times they wouldn't take a case, though maybe you have better luck now since immigration law is in vogue) and if you do your chances of overcoming supremacy clause and immunities are next to nill. (Lady in a more egregious case but otherwise similar facts to mine, was raped via hand because the argument was there was drugs up there -- she lost even though there weren't any).

The reason why Trump chose ICE/CBP as his gestapo is precisely because they have excellent overlap of both being largely carved out from constitutional protections via both precedent and their situation as an executive nominally border facing police and the fact they answer to POTUS and can function as an army without running afoul of posse comitatus. Trump simply called checkmate on the populace by taking advantage of 100+ years of precedent, law, and jurisprudence that perfectly teed up the opportunity.

No. That's sausage skin.

> This Daily Mail article

The Daily Mail really isn't a reputable news source.


You missed the part that I linked it for the video.

You don't have to read the rest of the article.


I think you will find people are investing. And working.

And bailing out for the US, understandably, as soon as their hard work starts to pay off.

Well, that's how it used to go, anyway.


"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice".

Not an applicable quote to parent. Everyone made a choice, but not participating is definitionally a different choice than participating and going along with a specific option.

Hard disagree.

By not participating, you are choosing not to care, despite the evident danger this may bring (and has brought).


That was a great argument up until the guy who led an insurrection was allowed to run for president again. At that point, if you're apathetic, you're supporting what's coming.

> Especially not online services without (automatic) export options

GDPR gives the right to data portability.

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-20-gdpr/

Any _legitimate_ organisation following the GDPR will allow export of your data; and you shouldn't be stupid enough to trust sensitive or valuable data with some dodgy organisation that doesn't follow the GDPR.

Obviously this doesn't alleviate the need for proper offline backups of your own valuable data!


> pound-in-the-ass prison

Care to explain your use of this term?


its a reference to the movie Office Space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2-1wcJYrWA

> cat toilet..... iOS app....data

I'd like to think this is a satire of the Internet of Shit^H^H^H^H Things. But I doubt it.


> "That's quite good"

Ummmm...... I'll say it is "not bad".

For me to say something is "quite good" it would have to make me cream myself.


> That Red Dwarf pilot was actually fine except for the bizarre choice of making Lister a hunk

I doubt the character of Ace Rimmer [what a guy!] would have translated at all.
