Dump Term 2, Part 2: "A third term would be a big shattering."

Handyman said:
The amount of self congratulating people on social media pretending that yesterday is going to change anything is already annoying. This stupid meme of "if we just get to 3.5% of the population protesting things will change" because history shows that as some sort of benchmark is nauseating. I know stats geeks have convinced the world you can quantify anything to prove you are right but 3.5% of the population standing around on public land, holding signs and not getting in the way of anything won't change a damned thing. Trump and his goons aren't going to see some bs formula and think "aw well, better luck next time". Today is no different than yesterday we just all feel a little better about ourselves. Those places where revolution happened wasn't because of the percentage, it was about the acts of defiance that took place that put those in power in a vulnerable position.

If we want change we need to start really pushing and sacrificing or we will just be playing music on the deck of the Titanic.

Connor: How far are we gonna take this, Da?
Il Duce: The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far is as needed?

Irony: Many millions of devout statists who want a huge ruling class controlling and robbing everyone ... pushing
"No Kings Day."

Spot on by Clifton Duncan:

The "No Kings" people had no issue dictating who was essential, dictating who you visited, dictating that the elderly die alone, dictating what you inject into your body

They dictated you lock yourselves at home while they went to the salon and dined at fancy restaurants and took vacations and threw parties

They dictate language, want to dictate what you drive, want to dictate how you cook your food, dictate that you ignore basic biological realities

Disobey the dictators and they kill careers, kill reputations, kill relationships, destroy city blocks, resort to terrorismThey crave control, and embrace social and political violence when they lose it...

but they are fighting to save democracy!

Among Democrats - "Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?" AOC/Bernie: 70% Moderate Dems: 30% Harvard-Harris / June 12, 2025

No Kings! Just our King or Queen! We are Statists!

Based on available data, Barack Obama holds the record for the most formal removals (deportations via formal court order) with 3 million during his two terms.
Comparing deportation numbers across presidencies (using formal removals):
  • Barack Obama: 3 million
  • George W. Bush: 870,000
  • Bill Clinton: 2 million
  • Donald Trump: 1.2 million (during his first term)
Important points to consider:
  • Removals vs. Returns: "Removals" are formal court-ordered deportations, while "returns" are instances where individuals are turned away at the border without formally entering the U.S..
  • Obama's record: While Obama holds the record for formal removals, he does not hold the record for returns.
  • Clinton's overall total: When combining removals and returns, Bill Clinton oversaw the highest overall number of expulsions (approximately 12.3 million).
  • Shifting priorities: The Obama administration, and to some extent the Trump administration, focused more on removing recent border crossers and those with criminal records compared to individuals apprehended in the interior.
  • Biden administration: During the Biden administration, most deportations have been returns carried out at the border.
  • Trump's second term: As of June 16, 2025, President Trump is prioritizing deportations from Democratic-run cities. Initial data for the first 100 days of his second term show increased enforcement activities like ICE-initiated arrests, although actual removal numbers are not meeting the administration's stated mass deportation goals.

What a terrible shame it would be if all those ICE agents stopped getting paychecks lol https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/ice-dhs-budget-deportations-trump-b2770916.html

Ice is almost out of money and is a $1 billion over budget. I think I found some waste, fraud and abuse!

Well, that didn't last long. DHS told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants. Shadow President Stephen Miller wins again...

Lasted longer than I predicted. Trump barely sounded like he believed what he was saying when he said it...

If they want 3000 arrests a day they need more than Home Depot. Oxnard is about to get invaded by ICE again. And they can make a show out of Chicago and NYC if they want...but sooner or later the South will be invaded again.
