New comment by cempaka in "DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship"

You have to be kind of an idiot to think they won't eventually point this gun at anyone who criticizes Israel or the Palantir Reich, regardless of whether they were a natural born citizen or not.

I think you should reasonably to be able to expect to seek peace and support in the country that created the unstable situation for you in the first place, yes.

At any rate the effect of these asylum seekers on the hospital system in the U.S. pales in comparison to the private equity vampires stripping it for parts while getting abject dummies like you to blame "the migrants."

The problem is that they've been convinced the reason everything in our lives is increasingly shitty is down to hordes of 6-year-olds with leukemia who've crossed the border for free medical care. It couldn't be more obvious that this is a scapegoating operation being pushed by the ultra-wealthy who are gaining from widening precarity and exploitation. But a "solution" that involves just inflicting a bunch of harm to the powerless is inherently more appealing than wresting control from the powerful, which will involve real work & sacrifice.

New comment by cempaka in "Germany and Italy pressed to bring $245B of gold home from US"

It's not just this administration, it's been essentially open season for fraud in the U.S. financial system ever since 2008. If you're a hoi polloi dentist who makes $100,000 trading options off of some insider info then yes, there are SEC cops on the beat who will come after you. Otherwise, you can pretty much do whatever you want until & unless a whole lot of people lose money, at which point it's too late.

Either they believe it is no longer necessary, or they are facing some other set of constraints that is making it less feasible.
