Correct; it's a shitfest, and it's going to get a lot worse.

A lot worse.

Third, divorce. You will find out who your real friends are when you get divorced.

When my ex- and I were going through a divorce, they didn't want me to say anything publicly at all. They were insistent that it wasn't anyone else's business, and since I was trying to make the process as painless as possible, I assumed that this was a good-faith request.

I was wrong.

I was being silent, and they were telling everyone a load of horseshit about me, and bad-mouthing me in public to every single one of our mutual friends. I lost all but one of our mutual friends; my silence was assumed to be an admission of guilt.

And what, exactly, is positive about it, that has no associated negative outcomes?

requires a trial.

Not for people that are undocumented. People that are not in the us legally get hearings, but that's policy rather than law, IIRC. Due process gets a little weird here, because the process in question isn't a matter of law or the constitution.

Regardless - it's not going to go well for anyone that thinks that he doesn't mean them.

The denaturalization concept--stripping naturalized citizens of citizenship--is fa, far scarier than deportation. Once you can strip citizenship from a naturalized citizen, and once you've eliminated birthright citizenship, you've got a roadmap for stripping citizenship from anyone.

VPN works just fine, as long as you can set your location. I know this because some sites are blocked in my area, and I can get to them when I change my location in my VPN.

For Tor to work, you have to reduce your security settings, and allow javascript; that's not generally a good idea when you're using Tor. Even when you do that, the network is slow enough that videos don't seem to complete loading. (I just checked.)

Anyone that thinks that it's going to be only 'criminals' that get deported forget that crossing the border without documentation is a crime. Yeah, it's a misdemeanor, but it's still a crime, and the Trump administration is still going to deport them when they can.

They seem to have a foregone conclusion that AI is a positive thing, rather than something that should be eradicated like smallpox or syphilis.

I'm fairly confident that that cat is a Lykoi. It's a very new breed of cat; they have guard hair, but no undercoat. So far, they're believed to be a very hardy breed with no known health issues (unlike, say, Sphynx, which have a high rate of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy).

Nope, not today, glowie.

The number should have been capped smaller. As it is, there are too many representatives; it's already impossibly hard to get anything through congress. If you want to make gridlock even worse, then sure, add more people.
