Trump's Second Term

This seems rather relevant -

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest

Laynez-Ambrosio can also be heard telling officers: “I was born and raised right here.” Still, he was pushed to the ground and says that an officer aimed a stun gun at him. He was subsequently arrested and held in a cell at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) station for six hours.

Audio in the video catches the unidentified officers debriefing and appearing to make light of the stun gun use. “You’re funny, bro,” one officer can be overheard saying to another, followed by laughter.

Another officer says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.”

Later in the footage, the officers move on to general celebration – “Goddamn! Woo! Nice!” – and talk of the potential bonus they’ll be getting: “Just remember, you can smell that [inaudible] $30,000 bonus.” It is unclear what bonus they are referring to. Donald Trump’s recent spending bill includes billions of additional dollars for Ice that could be spent on recruitment and retention tactics such as bonuses.

Of course, the teen faced charges after all this.

Laynez-Ambrosio was charged with obstruction without violence and sentenced to 10 hours of community service and a four-hour anger management course. While in detention, he said, police threatened him with charges if he did not delete the video footage from his phone, but he refused.

Scarola, his lawyer, said the charges were retaliation for filming the incident. “Kenny was charged with filming [and was] alleged to have interfered with the activities of law enforcement,” he explained. “But there was no intended interference – merely the exercise of a right to record what was happening.”

There's more to see in the article, of course, and much that could be said, but I sorta think that this speaks for itself.

I'm tired of 'shocking' being put into every headline as clickbait. Nothing about this is shocking, more than it was shocking that the Titanic kept sinking after hitting the ice berg and breaking in two.

I pretty much refuse to watch content from YouTubers who use a SHOCKING amount of CLICKBAIT in their titles. I don't care who they are. It feels like they're appealing to a demographic I have little in common with.

Same. I often open their vids just to downvote them and maybe leave a comment telling them to cut it out. So annoying.
 
U.S. slaps 20.56% anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber

B.C.'s Independent Wood Processors Association says in a statement that the U.S. Commerce Department's decision this week to raise duties also includes a requirement for Canadian companies to retroactively remit duties for products shipped to the United States since Jan.1, 2023.

Association chair Andy Rielly says in a statement that the requirement to pay duties on products shipped in the last 31 months could not only force small B.C. producers to shut down, but may also threaten operators' personal assets as they may have to risk using their homes as collateral to secure bonds to pay.

MAGA are posting that about a dozen people in Scotland stood at the side of the road waiting for Donald to pass in his car as if it's big news.

In Scotland he's as popular as syphilis

In 2024 there were just over 500 cases of syphilis in Scotland so Trump is significantly less popular than syphilis among Scots.
