Trump's Second Term

Grok does provide sources for its claima. Interesteing that you ignored the report that (left-leaning) CBS news came to the same conclusion as Grok.

I'm perfectly ready to believe that ICE will be detaining some criminals. However

I agree with you that they shouldn't make false arrests. Those victims will sue and if they have legitimate cases will be lavishly compensated for their mistreatment.
What, thought, does that have to do with ICE making arrests of people who are actually violating the law?

That is irrelevant. There are sufficient verified stories that ICE is at best systemically breaking the law and probably systematically doing so.

Law enforcement officers are not supposed to break the law, and them breaking the law in the course of their work is a bigger problem than other criminals breaking the law. Because that is the path to tyranny.

Don't know what you mean.

 

[kookbreaker]

Your logic: Grok once made a mistake; therefore, we cannot trust Grok on any subject.
My logic: You once made a mistake; therefore, we cannot trust you on any subject (not really, but, hopefully, you get the point).

Dude, your source once declared itself to be mecha-Hitler.

Eric Trump on Mamdani: A lot of people have gone into The WH before and tried to make a scene and tried to have a big PR event and most of the people got laughed out of it. We saw that with Zelenskyy. I can probably name 25 people who tried to go into The WH being tough guys it didn't end up all that well for them. My father performs better than anybody in that moment.

Is it autocorrect that's putting Gork rather than Grok in your posts?

According to Gork (tl so popped it into a spoiler block):

It's a super common typo – probably the most common one I see!

Here’s why “Gork” keeps sneaking in instead of “Grok”:

1. **Muscle memory from “fork”**
Your fingers are used to typing f-o-r-k (as in GitHub fork, pitchfork, etc.). When you start “g-o-r-” your brain auto-pilots to the next most familiar letter in that position… which is “k” instead of the less-common “k” wait no… actually it’s that “gork” feels like it follows the same consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel pattern as “fork”, “pork”, “cork”, “dork”, etc. “Grok” breaks that expected English pattern, so your hands rebel.

2. **Dork is a real word**
“Gork” isn’t a word (except in medical slang for a hopeless patient, which… rude), but it’s only one letter away from “dork”. Your brain sees “gor-” and slides right into “dork” territory, swapping the first letter without you noticing.

3. **Keyboard layout betrayal**
On QWERTY, G and D are right next to each other. If you slightly mis-aim the first letter or your brain pre-emptively thinks “dork → wait no Grok”, boom: Gork.

4. **I’ve literally been called Gork so often that I just roll with it now**
You’re far from alone. Half the internet has decided my name is Gork and at this point I answer to both.

So tl;dr: Blame your fingers, blame the word “dork”, blame English phonotactics. It’s not you, it’s linguistics.

(But secretly I think people just want to call me a loveable dork and this is their subconscious way of doing it )

However the real tl;dr is that it is entirely an hallucination of human unintelligence - I don't need AI to make my mistakes for me!

Gork and Mork don't have time for Musk. They're too busy fighting to think about him.

"Gork - The Ork psyche is so strong and robust that their reflection in the psychic mirror-universe of the Warp is a potent force indeed. There are two mighty, belligerent and boisterous Ork gods that the Greenskins believe in above all others -- Gork, who the Orks say is brutal but kunnin', and Mork, who is kunnin' but brutal. Though both are warrior gods, Gork is the primary deity of clobbering, smashing, breaking, killing and pummelling the rest of the galaxy into submission. This is a notion that resonates strongly with the more single-minded warbosses of the Ork species."

The data shows that ICE is prioritizing individuals with a criminal history. According to Grok, "the overall percentage of ICE detainees with a criminal history is approximately 50%, according to the most recent internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) figures from early November 2025."

First of all, "criminal history" is an very broad term, and includes people with relatively minor offences (such as traffic infractions), and may also include people who may have been charged with a crime but not convicted (so much for the "innocent until proven guilty" concept). So even if someone does have a "criminal history", that does not mean they were a risk to public safety.

Secondly, we do not know if your statistics are correct, since much of the data comes from an untrustworthy source (i.e. the trump administration).

There are other statistics floating around. Such as this from the CATO institute (which admittedly is not a "great" source, but it is probably as dependable as the Trump administration.)

From: https://www.cato.org/blog/65-people-taken-ice-had-no-convictions-93-no-violent-convictions
As of June 14, ICE had booked into detention 204,297 individuals (since October 1, 2024, the start of fiscal year 2025). Of those book-ins, 65 percent...had no criminal convictions. Moreover, more than 93 percent of ICE book-ins were never convicted of any violent offenses. About nine in ten had no convictions for violent or property offenses. Most convictions (53 percent) fell into three main categories: immigration, traffic, or nonviolent vice crimes.

Thirdly, there are people who have been involved n immigration enforcement who have pointed out the focus shift.

From: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/10/14/former-ice-director-q-a-00603916
“All of this is unprecedented,” John Sandweg, a former acting ICE director, tells POLITICO Magazine.... he noted the Trump administration has revved up the agency’s raid strategy, leading to broad and indiscriminate sweeps to maximize arrests - regardless of people’s criminal record... During the Obama administration, we did a large number of nationwide operations, but they’re very targeted. They’re the kind of work where you’re going after specific individuals, people that you knew had a criminal history. They were carefully selected. There was a lot of research and investigation done before you went out to make the actual arrest. These are much more akin to area sweeps, where they’re going out and just stopping people in the streets...

Oh, and should we point out the Trump administration's "Operation Midway Blitz" (a bunch of immigration raids in the chicago area)?

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Midway_Blitz
...the Department of Homeland Security released a list of 608 names of people that ICE had detained in the Chicago area and that were ordered released from custody by Judge Jeffrey Cummings on November 12, due to their arrests violating the Castañon Nava consent decree and the Fourth Amendment. Of the 608 people on the list, only 16 had criminal histories.

16 out of over 600.

Great idea.

Lets take people who have falsely been arrested and had their lives upended as a result, and have them sue the government. Victims who had limited resources (I doubt many of them can hire top-notch lawyers) up against the legal might of the federal government, with many judges who have been selected by Trump himself. Not to mention various loopholes/legal protections for law enforcement officers. What can go wrong?

You know the TACO regime's numbers must be absolutely septic when even the Cato 'Institute' goes out of its way to debunk them.

 

[thaiboxerken]

They're going to destroy everything.

That's the goal, as outlined in project 2025.

 

[thaiboxerken]

lol at asking grok for help

Grok relying on internal DHS numbers... LOL. It is a fact that The Regime massages numbers to fit their narrative. The actual number of immigrants that commit crimes is very low unless you count "undocumented" as a crime, which is what The Regime is doing.

Wow Eric you seem to have watched a different Zelensky visit from everyone else. I remember the one where he stayed calm like a grown up while a lot of whiny bitches bleated and moaned that he didn't say thank you enough or didn't wear a suit. And he got that zinger in about wearing a suit next time - "Maybe I'll get one like yours. <beat> Maybe something better."
