Hey, anybody remember 12ish years ago when Alex Jones' worst fear was that Obama was going to use executive power to order the military to be deployed on American soil, violating Posse Comitatus, to massively round up and inter a bunch of Americans in FEMA reducation / death camps?

Anyone?

No one?

Whoo boy, growing up in a fundamentalist Christian household where I was the only one to go to college and everyone else became a Q Anon zombie sure was fuuuunnnnn!

I guess if it was just illegal immigrants then it wouldn't be Americans, so it wouldn't be what they feared. But very close.

I don't remember that actually. I'm not saying he didn't say those things. I'm just saying that I never listened to a word that mouth breather said.

I remember that. He would usually say martial law. I think national emergencies are different and invoked more often by both Dems and GOP. Could be wrong

Undocumented Immigrants Contribute Nearly $100 Billion in Taxes a Year

If he actually succeeds in doing this, guess who’s going to be made to fill in that hole.

This is step one to collapsing Social Security and Medicare.

Knee cap all the funding from folks who never collect on it, then say, see? It’s collapsing earlier than we thought.

Illegals aren't growing crops, prisons step in, now prisons are growing crops, now prisons are profiteering from growing crops, higher food prices despite the ""free"" labor as they have conflicts with farmers...

messy messy messy situation

Great if you own a prison, tho.

The funny part is that that is still likely less that a bus load of billionairs actually paying their taxes like the rest of us do.
