Oy vey! - Team Trump giving off those creepy Orwellian vibes

 Fresh on the heels of almost ruining millions of Americans 401k plans (90 day tariff pause) Team Trump has announced they are going to be monitoring the social media accounts of immigrants seeking permanent legal status as well as the online musings of foreign students.  They're going to be looking for antisemitic posts.  Watch them conflate legitimate criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza with support for Hamas and Hezbollah and other terror groups.  No wonder Bibi was grinning on his recent trip to the WH.  I say this if the Trump Administration is going to get all pervy about people's privacy at least include a middle finger emoji at the end of the post.  The Peeps Administration:)

    2. You don't get nice bedding like at home. You have to sleep on the concrete floor. From the videos I've seen first thing they do is shave your head. You got tattoos?

  4. The stock market is going up and down like a yo-yo I've lost and gained more in a couple weeks than the last five years. There was the Midas touch and then there's the Trump touch. Yumpin Yimminy.

    1. Ever get the impression he's bullshitting his way through? MAGA likes to call it art of the deal. Dunno.

  5. Worse than the monitoring of social media, the Admin today added over 5000 names of immigrants, many of course here legally, but with their legal status canceled by the Trump Admin with no hearings, to the dead list of the Social Security Admin.

    These are ppl who registered with the Biden Admin app, came to the US legally, registered with the SSA and began paying into the system. Exactly what we want from immigrants.

    Now they have no status, because Trump did not like the prior system, no money, because banks see them as dead, and no way to work, because their SSA number has been cancelled.

    What could go wrong? This too seems Orwellian.

  6. Good to hear from you Dave.

    Now I'm reading Trump wants to go easy on the undocumented workers in agriculture and the hospitality field. Trying to find a way for them to go forward. Some business coalition has been pressuring him. Then there's what you just said. The whole thing is contradictory and needs clarity. Who wants to pay $40 for a head of lettuce?

  12. Geeez reads all her comments and rejects many to the cloud. She has her own cloud. Yesterday she called my opinion on the measles outbreak 'rubbish'. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs?

  13. I had to find the piece and mull it over. Don't really have an opinion on what the two of you said. You seem to be saying illegals don't carry measles. Why would that be? Some people in Peru are apparently immune to rabies. Dunno. A rabbit hole.

  14. Maybe to parse what the two of you huffed about perhaps Trump instead of monitoring their social media activity can instead urge them to get the measles and other shots. Can't hurt. Should I start a measles blog?

  15. RFKJr is the go to measles guy. Unless he is still busy firing cancer, ALS, PTSD and Alzheimer's researchers. How I'm doing Elon? Oh fire those tinitus people too, while I decimate the VA hospitals. Can't make that stuff up.

    1. What is he in charge of exactly? Having someone sweep all the empty offices and labs?

  16. Now they furious at Greenland where the commander of the Space Base was relieved and discharged from the service. A woman, yet.
    Just more cheerleading for revenge politics. Sickening. Avoiding the place these days.

  17. RFK Jr. wants an answer as to what causes autism by Sept. Maybe Kash Patel can demand what happened to Jimmy Hoffa by Thanksgiving.
