The 2024 GQP Thread: Because Deutsche Gopher Fan ENDED the Last One

So we all remember a couple weeks back when ICE set up a checkpoint/staging area at Dodgers Stadium hours before the parking lots opened for a game? To which the Dodgers told ICE to fuck off?

Dodgers block ICE agents from entering stadium in Los Angeles, team says

The baseball team reportedly had plans to announce assistance for immigrant communities in L.A. on Thursday.

And then a day later DHS Tweeted that it wasn't them?

DHS debunks Dodgers’ claim that ICE attempted a raid at stadium on game day

The Department of Homeland Security poured cold water on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ claim that there was an attempted Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at their stadium on Thursday. The reigni…

But if it was fake ICE agents cosplaying and not the actual DHS, why wasn't the FBI investigating them for posing as police? Especially when a week or two later the rent-a-mall-cop murdered one politician and attempted to murder another.

Well, turns out, it really WAS ICE after all, and now a lawsuit has been filed against the Dodgers' DEI efforts in retaliation to scaring ICE away.

Dodgers’ DEI Efforts Targeted By Stephen Miller-Backed Group After ICE Standoff

America First Legal, which has taken aim at Disney and CBS Studios, has been a key cog in Trump's DEI crackdown, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission being deployed against entities seen as hostile to the president's priorities.

Will they still need the real military to protect them? Or do we start giving them the stuff we're withholding from Ukraine?

My wife keeps hinting at this, and so far I've remained in denial based on the fact that I know neither of us have any easy ways in. Ireland requires a grandparent, and all of my Irish ancestors arrived before the American Civil War (not sure about hers). Germany and France only accept first-gen foreign borns. Canada is the most conservative of all, you have to be first-gen and your parents must be natural borns. Otherwise, the only route is the lengthy naturalization process.

If we end up having to do it, the best thing we have going is that I have expertise in an in-demand tech niche and could presumably be sponsored for a work visa. The bad news is, the rest of the world has been catching up recently as more offshore resources are upskilling to meet demand.

This is a once in a century opportunity to attract some of the best and brightest. Countries would be insane to not take a stab at attracting people who want out of this country.

I know this is an incredibly privileged thing to even discuss. Fully aware.

Democrats winning back the House enough for you? (Almost) no chance they win back the Senate.

Depends. A narrow majority won’t do it for me. It just means we’re going to go right back into it as soon as a softer edged nazi comes up for the vote.

I think we take the house with very comfortable numbers and are at least 50:50 for the senate.

History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

Displaced German Scholars classifies academics by their fields of study and details their work history in Germany. Each entry ends with the position the person held as of 1936. Some fortunate scholars were already safe with permanent employment abroad; others had the short-term security of a position lasting a few months or a year. But a sizable portion of entries, particularly for scientists early in their careers, end with the abbreviation Unpl—unplaced.

The names in the physics section read like a who’s who of early 20th-century physics: Hans Bethe, Felix Bloch, Max Born, Albert Einstein, James Franck, Otto Frisch, Fritz London, Lise Meitner, Erwin Schrödinger, Otto Stern, Leo Szilard, Edward Teller, Victor Weisskopf, Eugene Wigner. Three of the displaced scientists—Einstein, Franck, and Schrödinger—were already physics Nobel laureates; five more would eventually receive the prize. A 2016 study found that the 15% of physicists who were dismissed from German universities accounted for 64% of all German physics citations.

If I were the Krauts I would go all out to welcome our refugees. They can shed the villain label:

19th century: France, Napolean
20th century: Germany, Hitler
21st century: US, Dump

If we get that we have a shot...I am not as down on the Senate as some but I wouldnt bet on it.

A slim win in the House is pretty worthless unless there is enough youth to force Leadership to actually do something.
