Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

In new guidelines, DHS says people shouldn't be deported solely for being undocumented​

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...dividuals-just-being-undocumented/5935009001/ (https://archive.ph/ZgY6Q)

The Biden Administration issued new guidelines Thursday to immigration officers that say that being an undocumented person should “not alone be the basis” of being deported.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in statement that the department will focus their resources on apprehending and removing undocumented immigrants who are a threat to the national security, public safety and border security of the United States.

“We are guided by the knowledge that there are individuals in our country who have been here for generations and contributed to our country’s well-being, including those who have been on the frontline in the battle against COVID, lead congregations of faith, and teach our children,” Mayorkas said in a statement.

“As we strive to provide them with a path to status, we will not work in conflict by spending resources seeking to remove those who do not pose a threat and, in fact, make our Nation stronger.”

The guideline will go into effect on Nov. 29.

Mayorkas noted in the guidelines that undocumented immigrants who are apprehended at the border or at a port of entry trying to unlawfully enter the U.S. would be considered a threat to border security and could be deported under the new guidelines. The guidelines also note that an undocumented person apprehended in the U.S. after illegally entering the U.S. after Nov. 1, 2020, could be subject to deportation.

Prior to the implementation of the new policies, Mayorkas outlined that there will be extensive training for immigration officers. Mayorkas also noted that there will be a review process on the enforcement decisions of immigration personnel thought the first 90 days that the directives have been implemented.

The new guidelines come as Congress has not been able to pass legislation that would create a pathway to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

Democrats on Capitol Hill attempted to include a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, farmworkers and essential workers in the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, which was shot down by the Senate parliamentarian. A second attempt to include immigration in the package was also shot down.

Some immigration activists said they will be watching to see whether the new policy will be implemented correctly, while also expressing disappointment that migrants coming to the United States from the southern border will likely not be covered by this policy.

"So much of what we're going to be watching is going to be in the next couple of months, in terms of how this is going to be implemented in local field offices, and what type of accountability measures are going to be put in place," Jacinta Gonzalez, senior campaign organizer at Mijente, said in a call with reporters.

She said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone against DHS leadership in the past when implementing policies, noting that at times ICE, as well as border patrol, have used violence against immigrants.

Gonzalez, and other immigration advocates, specifically noted the incident where border patrol officials chased Haitian migrants on horses earlier this month.

"There is no humane way to prioritize who is targeted for immigration enforcement detention or deportation, where that leads to separation of people from their loved ones and even put lives at risk," said Stacy Suh, program director of Detention Watch Network. "So we urge the fight in administration to change course to bring justice and fairness to the immigration system."

Is there anyway of fighting this?

Tom Cotton named the Jew

I wasn’t familiar with Rachael Rollins, so I just did some reading to see if maybe Tom Cotton was making this stuff up. (No.) Even if you agree with her politics, this is pretty bad stuff. The way she responded to a news crew confronting her about a road rage incident she was allegedly involved in should disqualify her from public office:

Later, when a Boston 25 news crew showed up at Rollins’s house to ask her about the incident, she berated them, throwing in some expletives and threatening to file a police report against the producer.

“Who do you think . . . get out of here. You know what I’ll do? I’ll call the police on you and make an allegation — rantings of a white woman,” Rollins said on videotape. “I swear to God — I’m dead serious. I will find your name. I will have you arrested, I swear to God. My children!”

Yellow journalists are out there peddling the idea that resistance to Rollins’ nomination is because of racism. I wasn’t even aware that she’s a proud black DA until I started reading up on her background. I don’t think this woman needs help from anyone’s racism to seem like a dirtbag.

Odd. My company specifically said they could not require you to be jabbed to visit clients, only for internal in-person events.

How is that not a violation of HIPAA?

Because employers aren’t health providers and HIPAA only applies to health providers. This is the entire reason an initiative to make patient records more accessible was co-opted by the Branch Covidians in the form of vaccine passports. If you hand over your own health records to a third party, HIPAA no longer applies.

But a planned Thursday vote on the infrastructure bill — a compromise plan that would invest heavily in the nation’s roads, bridges, highways and climate resiliency projects, delivering billions of dollars in projects to lawmakers’ states and districts — slipped into the night without the majority needed.

Minor point of contention, since attention to detail is necessary in times like this. No he wasn't directly loading Jews onto the trains, but he was helping to catalogue the valuables the Nazis looted, and as is standard practice for all persons in that position, skimming some off the top. Came right out and admitted it in an interview and said, "Well, if not me, would have been someone else doing that."

Who would have been able to push back against the narrative that Trump went renegade and launched nukes? Certainly not the man they yeeted off all of the major social media sites.

Seeing the posts from @Gehenna opened my eyes today. Nancy Pelosi is 100% one of real powers in this administration and she wanted to nuke someone while keeping her hands clean. Shit, it would have even let them say outright that China released Wuflu - think of the data leaking lately and think of it in the context of a major war against China. Trump would either be locked up or hanging so he wouldn't be able to defend himself...

And unfortunately for the Uniparty Milley remembered enough of his oaths to preempt this. While I usually agree with @Jet Fuel Johnny when it comes to military things, this was a situation where Milley felt he had to bypass the normal routes. He may not like Trump, but he also knew that the media would 100% bury any Pelosi involvement in nukes being launched. Even worse for Biden, Milley didn't fall on the sword in Afghanistan; the Administration has a general that knows way too much and they wanted rid of him but he is too attached to Biden now for that to happen.

Heh yeah a vote on the bipartisan bill looking like a lost cause at this point. If there's one (and that's a big if currently) it's going to be very early morning:

You don't have last-minute meetings like this if you're feeling good about your prospects. Who knew the progressive wing would actually find a backbone.

Lol good luck to them, that’s why ProtonMail is headquartered elsewhere. Technological dinosaurs should not be in charge of administrations.

ETA: All law enforcement requests have to be approved by Swiss authorities and ProtonMail keeps very few records on purpose: https://protonmail.com/blog/transparency-report/

Double ETA: They actively refuse requests they believe to be targeting specific groups.
  • In July 2019, we received a request for information that was approved by the Swiss judiciary involving a case in another EU country, which upon further assessment, we suspect could be targeting a whistleblower. We have refused to hand over data while seeking further clarification from the authorities as to why this request for information was approved in the first place, and asking for Swiss authorities to re-check the facts of the case.
  • In June 2020, we received a request targeting an investigative journalism group that was improperly approved by Swiss authorities. As a result, we have refused the request and also demanded that Swiss authorities investigate how this request was mistakenly approved in the first place.

Yeah, the FBI is getting nowhere with that request.
