Quiet quitting is such a bizarre phrase

It's just a trendy phrase for what has always been called worke to rule.

Do precisely what your job description requires and not a single bit more.

The numbers Miller expect are outrageous, which is why ICE does everything they can to meet them.

Just wait until there is a juicy target like a soccer stadium full of people with non-english accents...

I'm most looking forward to his trial.

I'm looking forward to his funeral.

There is always a percentage of people who are complete disconnected from news, current affairs, politics or anything outside of their narrow experience.

They probably couldn't tell you who the vice president is or if Epstein is alive or dead without prompting.

We shouldn't be exclusively tied to any single country.

however, us interference is just as bad. maga is spreading in canada with US dollars driving the advance. we are awash in american fake news and disinformation.

This has been ongoing for our entire lifetimes, and the lifetimes of our parents.

Every American movie, TV show, magazine and song has been part of that creeping spread of American exceptionalism (and imperialism).

It's just been slightly more subtle than Trump.

If the supreme court strikes down Trump's ability to tariff under the IEEPA,

In that instance, Trump is likely to either find another loophole (whether valid or not) to exploit for the next 10 months until the court can try and stop him again, or ignore the ruling completely.

This machine does something to fascists.

It would make them very angry if they could read.

His previous record seems to indicate otherwise.

Unless he was playing a really long con.

Only if he suffers brain damage (like fetterman did)

You think if ICE disappearing him will finally make us revolt?

Several million New Yorkers will.

He is doing everything absolutely wrong.

Through some combination of malice and incompetence he seems to have the ability to do the worst thing possible on every occation.
