Prickly City by Scott Stantis for January 23, 2025

Next 4 years will be like opening a septic tank and stirring it up

I’m at an age now when there is serious question whether I have another four years to live. And, d@mn it, I’m not sure whether I want to or not.

It was amusing back during the campaign when things like freeing violent felons was brought up, all the magats said he would never do that, or some variation.

I commented that it was amazing that magats were going to vote for someone because they would NOT do what they promised.

.

I am pretty sure that no magats will remember saying that, or even thinking that.

It’s just not how their memories work. Unless it’s part of the current Fox/right wing media LIEs, they won’t know or remember.

.

I don’t remember seeing ANY magat comments yesterday about 1500 violent convicted felons being pardoned. By today, most of them have forgotten about it.

.

And Stantis believes it’s exactly the same as Biden’s preemptive pardons of Trump’s announced targets.

Not “all” of us… Peace be upon you.

For the next four years, everybody will be so happy now that 46 had finally been booted out from office.

Probably the best piece of the day can be found with Kevin Necessary at: facbookdotcom/kevin.necessary .

It will be unlike the last four years under Obama’s politburo.

We don’t have to “do this”. there are no decisions to make and no actions to take. It is all done for us now. And we voted for it. We have the leadership we deserve.

The next four years will be hilarious and obtuse, like his last one!

Can I just say, I grew up watching war movies, WWII documentaries, WWII newsreels, and, later, the History Channel when it cared about history. I know a Nazi salute when I see one. And I saw one, Elon.

Our dystopian present/future:

75% of immigrant farm workers didn’t show up yesterday in Bakersfield because of fears of ICE raids under the new residency.

America’s rural and agricultural regions will be the hardest hit from trump’s immigration policies. Food prices are going to skyrocket.

“People aren’t going to work and kids aren’t going to school,” mirroring mass school absences following past workplace raids in states like Mississippi, New Mexico, and Tennessee.

ICE agents in unmarked Chevy Suburbans rounded up and detained immigrants in the area, profiling individuals they believed to be field workers, as the harassment of naturalized U.S. citizen Ernesto Campos amid the Bakersfield raids can attest to.

The end result: acres of unpicked oranges and vegetables roasting in the California sun at the height of the season.

No vegetables? yuck! Let them eat cake. – trump, probably.

More jobs at the Sharpie manufacturing facility making jumbo Sharpie markers that will be used once and thrown out to the people attention the signing publicity drama.

Trump won’t lower the price of eggs because he knows cheap eggs will be thrown at him every time he sticks his head out

Trump signed an executive order that everyone is the sex they were at conception. So now we’re all female, and I guess I’m a lesbian.

Is gas under $2/gal yet?

Concerning today’s Clay Jones…………….nope, you’re brown.

There are now only two genders—-Stupid men who support Trump and idiotic women who support Trump

Seems a disabled vet is posting on X in a panic asking for help – his RN wife accepted her “dream job” at a VA Hospital in another city in Texas. They spent thousands to move, and then Dear Leader signed an EO to freeze gov’t hiring and the job offer was rescinded. He’s begging 47, and Ted Cruz and anyone else to help – he voted for Trump after all!!!

File under “I had no idea the leopard would eat MY face…

Legal challenges are already happening. Push back on Trump has begun. Necessary response for unnecessary chaos that occurs when electing somebody like this.

The United States of America ‘dark age’.

Seek a therapist…You both need help..

can’t wait for January 20th, 2029

PLEASE! Give it a rest.

The next four years will be a recouping of our economy and presence on the world stage with a real leader who will not cower in his basement or cower from the press.

I’m proud to report:

Joint Statement from AG Brown, Twelve Other Attorneys General: State and Local Law Enforcement Cannot Be Commandeered for Federal Immigration EnforcementOLYMPIA – Attorney General Nick Brown, along with the attorneys general of California, New York, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Vermont, today issued a joint statement addressing a memorandum from a Trump political appointee at the U.S. Department of Justice addressing state and local involvement in federal immigration enforcement:

“It is well-established — through longstanding Supreme Court precedent — that the U.S. Constitution prevents the federal government from commandeering states to enforce federal laws. While the federal government may use its own resources for federal immigration enforcement, the court ruled in Printz v. United States that the federal government cannot ‘impress into its service — and at no cost to itself — the police officers of the 50 States.’ This balance of power between the federal government and state governments is a touchstone of our American system of federalism.

“Despite what he may say to the contrary, the President cannot unilaterally re-write the Constitution. The President has made troubling threats to weaponize the U.S. Department of Justice’s prosecutorial authority and resources to attack public servants acting in compliance with their state laws, interfering with their ability to build trust with the communities they serve and protect. Right now, these vague threats are just that: empty words on paper. But rest assured, our states will not hesitate to respond if these words become illegal actions.

“As state attorneys general, we have a responsibility to enforce state laws – and we will continue to investigate and prosecute crimes, regardless of immigration status. We will not be distracted by the President’s mass deportation agenda.”
