Okay, dumb question: Where's the video frame that shows the contact with the vehicle? The photo with the caption "ICE Agent 1 and the vehicle appear to make contact" just shows a close up of a giant turd. Certainly no vehicle in view in that image.

"FIFA PASS" to fast-track visas? Sounds like a convenient cover story for terrorists to get in easily.

How could she transfer the Nobel prize? Sure, prize winners get a medal, a diploma, and monetary award, but what's really important is the recognition and the honor of being a Nobel laureate. A lot of them give the prize money to charity, and...

...oh lord, it's the gold medal. [REDACTED] is such a toddler that he's captivated by shiny, gold baubles.

None were born here.

And the desire not to vote is a human problem, far from uniquely American. Denial and dissociation are how people get through lots of life, if my own experience as well as conversations with Russian and Chinese friends are any indicator. And the reason that the wealthy foreigners come here is that the U.S. has been the current center of economic power. They would have gone to London in the 19th century.

And, for the record, I don't actually expect that non-wealthy South Africans can do anything about Musk, but then, neither can non-wealthy Americans.

No, I'm cranky from people upthread putting all of the responsibility on us, when their countries ain't so sweet and innocent. There's a line a kilometer wide in fluorescent yellow between the 9/11 attacks back to U.S. imperialism, for instance, but Britain, Netherlands, Germany, and Russia all had their own brands of imperialism which are far more responsible for raising up those men to wealth. This is more a problem of class than nationality.

Coincidentally, Congress just restricted drone imports about 2 weeks ago...

Huge chunks of our problems are Rupert Murdoch (Australia), Leon Musk (South Africa), Peter Thiel (Germany), Congress (Israel), and the POTUS (Russia). Maybe the rest of the world can not bother with America's problems, but deal with the ones you've sent us?

Here's a link to an article. As the reporter here points out, 100 million is suspiciously close to the number of nonwhite people in the U.S.

I think that you are correct, as building a coalition outside of the now-thoroughly-broken system is a heavy lift. But dammit, what would we be if we don't at least try?

As an American, I believe that we need to come together ASAP and form a police task force to remove the regime by legitimate, democratic means. It's called its shots: The regime has said that it intends to eliminate 100 million Americans.

By deportation for now. Let's not wait for its final solution.
