"I don't see any need for ICE to detain him. They've got him right now," Sandoval-Moshenberg said, saying that Abrego Garcia is being monitored electronically by the U.S. Marshals Service through a GPS ankle bracelet. "But that said, I expect that ICE will take him into detention because, well, pretty much that's what they do. They have said they're going to try to deport him."
Imagine just being a random guy and suddenly the US government chooses to fuck you over in particular, for no real rhyme or reason. You just become this national household name as the random guy the government decided it hates ‘just because’
Abrego Garcia was happy to be back with his family and friends over the weekend, even if for a short time, Sandoval-Moshenberg said.
”He arrived in Maryland at around 3 in the morning on Saturday. His whole family, including his 5-year-old child, were still awake, waiting to receive him. He's, you know, he's really happy to be back with his family, with his friends, but it could prove to be a short-lived reprieve."
Idiocracy is already here. Watch anyone on TV speak, even news broadcasters. Then go back and watch the same kind of thing but from like the 60s. Even reality or talk television. These days everyone sounds like they barely have two brain cells to rub together. I watched an interview the other day of Hunter Thompson and a Hell’s Angel from the 60s and the literal biker gangbanger sounded more eloquent than professional broadcasters do now.
People have been aspiring to stupidity and denigrating intelligence for so long that everyone today sounds like an idiot. Most places I have ever worked at are run by people who are hardly competent enough to do the base jobs of the people they are managing. We have arguments about plainly illogical political issues that should have obvious answers if people had reasoning skills anymore. “Make other countries pay their fair share with tarrifs!!1!1” meanwhile tariffs are paid for by you and I, the consumer.
We are already so far balls deep into idiocracy that people are too stupid to even recognize how stupid they are. And thus the cycle will beget more and more stupidity, since there is no intelligence left to aspire to anymore…
Within the next decade, chances are your neighbors, or maybe even you, will be sharing a home with a robot roommate to lend a hand with everyday tasks.
Thank you Carnegie Melon for making sure I remember I’m worse off than my neighbors. I feel seen
Its officially hopium season. How festive
