Canadian man stuck in ICE detention centre for 4 months, awaiting deportation hearing

Edmonton-born Curtis Wright being held in a detention facility in Texas


When ICE began the deportation proceedings, Wright was told the possession of a controlled substance charge was the reason behind his detainment — a charge laid against him more than 20 years ago, when he was in high school. Wright did community service for his sentence.

You have to remember these are the people to the right of the likes of John Bolton. He burnt through anyone remotely sane first time around.

Anyhow I assume Pan Bondi might be the first acknowledgement of the mid terms.

Dem DEMANDS Kristi Noem tell the truth on having SEX with her subordinate. Even better, she got Kristi Noem’s non-denial of sleeping with him, on Congressional record.

Kristi’s F**KED, so to speak!

Enjoy.

Rep Kalmagar-Dove: At any time during your tenure as Director of Department of Homeland Security, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

Kristi Noem: Mr. Chairman, I am shocked that we’re, uh, going down and peddling tabloid, uh, garbage in this committee today…

Rep Kalmagar-Dove: Reclaiming my time.

Noem: M’am, the one thing that I would tell you is that he is a special government employee who works for the White House.

(“SPECIAL” 🤔)

Rep Kalmagar-Dove: It is OK for you to be offended by the question. But it is also a REAL question.And you should be able to ANSWER the question. Clearly. And without any hesitation. If you or any federal official is sleeping with a subordinate.

That should be the easiest question. You should be WANTING to answer that question, and set the record straight.

Noem: This is disgusting.

Rep Kalmagar-Dove: This is about your JUDGEMENT. Your decision making.

It is about the 260,000 employees that work under you that want to make sure that you are giving information and making decisions clearly. It is about conflict of interest. It is about a national security risk.

Noem: (Mumbles)

Rep Kalmagar-Dove: American lives are at risk. The people who work for you are at risk. And they want to know that the person at the top – YOU – are making decisions clearly, without any sort of cloudiness – not having a Secretary who is compromised in her decision making.

Even out dated ammunition finds its uses. The smart ones are the lot who keep them in use.

If his presidency had been presented as a script a few years ago, it would probably have been rejected as too unrealistic and moronic.

So I know this is a little off the current priority topic but I thought this was amusing.

So remember, “Drill baby drill”? Well except it was tumbleweed

This is the generation that now runs the GOP behind the scenes. The DeSantis campaign was the canary in the coal mine with example after example of staffers swimming in a Nazi soup of references and iconography yet the consensus from self identified reasonable people then was that these accusations were just lefty fever dreams who see Nazis hiding under ever rock. Some real self reflection is needed by these people over how they were so credulous about it, but dont hold your breath

My take (after an advice from the great Paul Auster) : ignore all their mindless talk (the purpose of that is to confuse us) and focus and report on what they actually do.

That’s the point where you wake up from uncomfortable nightmares, and realize that the reality is worse, but can be addressed by facing it, and finally standing up to them.

FFS, the White House released footage of action in Iran that mixed in Call of Duty video. No wonder they are so flippant about casualties, half the damn White House staff think their guys respawn at the start point.
