Literally. 49 minutes ago, SurelySerious said: Target firm you disagree with using EO, retract EO after firm agrees to do free work for you. There’s at least one word for that kind of behavior… There is: Hilarious. I'm sorry, does the federal government have an obligation to pay for the services of a law firm... just because? They were not "targeted" by the executive order, the executive decided to end a services agreement with them based on their actions. Then they changed their actions in order to satisfy their customer, the government, and now they have their customer back. It might be less stressful for you if you tried getting your news from somewhere other than Twitter. 1
M2 Posted March 21 Posted March 21 This was ten days ago, and I'm sure the numbers are still climbing. Just for the mathematically challenged, nearly 85% were criminal aliens and if you include the fact they were illegally in the country in the first place, that number goes to 100%! Massive ICE operation nabs nearly 650 illegal aliens in Texas, over 80% with criminal charges or convictions HOUSTON – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in conjunction with federal, state and local law enforcement, arrested 646 undocumented aliens – including 543 criminal aliens and seven documented gang members – during a week-long targeted enforcement operation conducted between Feb. 23 and March 2 in the Houston area to bolster public safety, national security, and border security. During the operation, ICE and its partners executed 71 criminal arrest warrants and arrested 543 undocumented aliens who have been charged or convicted of a criminal offense while they were illegally present in the U.S. including: 140 criminal aliens charged or convicted of an aggravated felony or other violent offense such as homicide, aggravated assault, or domestic violence. 34 criminal aliens charged or convicted of a sex offense or child sex offense such as aggravated sexual assault of a minor, possession of child pornography, or rape. 38 criminal aliens convicted of illegal firearms offenses such as unlawful carrying of a firearm, alien in possession of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm. 52 criminal aliens charged or convicted of illicit narcotics offenses such as drug trafficking, or possession of a controlled substance. 51 criminal aliens charged or convicted of property crimes such as burglary or theft. 93 criminal aliens charged or convicted of driving while intoxicated. “In recent years, some of the world’s most dangerous fugitives, transnational gang members and criminal aliens have taken advantage of the crisis at our nation’s southern border to illegally enter the U.S.,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford. “After illegally entering the country, many of these criminal aliens have gone on to commit violent crime and reign terror on law-abiding residents. Fueled by our unwavering commitment to protect the public from harm, and united in our determination to restore integrity to our nation’s system of laws, ICE and our law enforcement partners in Southeast Texas have banded together to remove these dangerous criminal aliens from our local communities and put an end to the lawlessness that they spread.” “In just one week working alongside our counterparts from federal, state and local law enforcement, ICE HSI special agents successfully executed 71 criminal arrest warrants and made 554 administrative arrests that included illegally present human smugglers, gang members, human traffickers, child sex offenders, drug traffickers and weapons traffickers,” said ICE Homeland Security Investigations Houston Special Agent in Charge Chad Plantz. “These collective efforts have made our local communities significantly safer and strengthened our national security and border security. As a result, we’ve sent a resounding message to transnational criminal organizations everywhere that the law enforcement community in the Texas Gulf Coast is more united than ever and will not rest until we’ve eradicated these criminal elements from the country.” 1 1

Keep digging. Do you see the difference between buying a product and then doing whatever you want with YOUR property and not affecting other peoples property? You don't have to do what you're doing. You can just say "man, I sure do hate what Elon's doing and hope his companies go under and that he suffers a horrible death. Also, fucking with property that isn't yours is fucked up and shouldn't be tolerated." I actually did buy the dip, thanks for asking. Cyber truck is a bit much but I did take a gander at the used tesla market. Saw lots of older models but very few 2022 and newer. 2
uhhello Posted March 22 Posted March 22 The best part about all the tesla damage being done is the fucking retards aren't smart enough to know about the security features on the vehicles. Real sharp folks.

That's a cute new analysis of the government's responsibility to give money to a company. They weren't threatening jail. They were threatening to cancel contracts. The dude was elected to annihilate dei, secure the border, and/government waste. And to end the conflicting Ukraine. Doesn't matter whether or not you or I agree with those goals, that's what the American people elected him for. But by all means, keep it up. Like I said this is just going to keep Trump's approval ratings higher for longer. Absolutely no Americans would have cared about this specific issue if the Democrats weren't pulling their air out trying to oppose every single thing he does. But think of the law firms!!

SurelySerious Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I’m not even sure Kamala, Queen of Word Salads, could have come up with 90 seconds that incoherent.

"No thank you sir, we are not willing to work pro bono as part of a contract with the federal government." That's the Wonder of living in a free country, you can say no. All the other progressive law firms are furious that they didn't do exactly that to save their DEI agendas. Again, Twitter is not a good news source.

That’s how I can tell you’re just Trump fan-boying. The source is that left wing rag the Wall Street Journal…oh wait Bud, this isn't that complicated. And you can't just throw quid pro quo around like it's some sort of all-covering Boogeyman. If I pay you to build me a fence, that's a quid pro quo. If instead of giving you money I decide to offer you flying lessons, that's still a quid pro quo. You don't have to like it, but the government is well within its rights to include a certain amount of charity work in exchange for a contract. As long as the law firm has the option to say no, which all the articles you're citing have plenty of examples of law firms that are refusing, then it's not extortion. Where was all the righteous indignation from these law firms when the government was requiring vendors to have a certain number of women or minorities as founders or executives? Suspiciously silent. I have every confidence that a law firm as prestigious as Weiss can survive without federal cheese. And if they can't, like so many other vendors that are about to be DOGE'd, they will adapt or die. This firm chose, voluntarily, to accept the president's offer. His quid pro quo, if you will. 😂 Of course it's not good for the country, but it's just fun watching the progressives roll around on the ground like they're on fire now that their own tactics of the last couple decades are being used against them. They got so comfortable with this one-sided game that they forgot how to lose, and the meltdown has been spectacular. 4 1
