Dude, keep going, shorten the period down to 2 weeks for hitting the quota.

Hell let's go by day, if ICE doesn't hit their daily quota, bam new director next day, and they've got a solid 12 hours to make it or not.

Here's the response I got the last time I tried to start a real discussion.

The kicker is that W.TN is the one who had made the initial posts on congestion pricing.

That exchange encapsulates the PF.

I’m all for “congestion pricing”. Everyone that moves to the southeast from the NE or west coast should have to pay it. It shouldn’t be so easy for them to place their burdens on everyone else.

Those outlets ran fabricated news as factual. Opinions as truth and didn’t hold the last administration accountable. Not hard to let go of those who can’t do their job.

That wasn't a genius take. The states - in this case, Maine - can make a choice to do the thing I want. Perhaps they prefer funding their education so they will do what I want.

I don't consider any state having a right to not do what I want. If a state will not do what I want, I'm fine with the Fed forcing them to do it. It's somewhat expected as a citizen of the state and the republic.

That's what I care about in this example, and will 4 years from now.

Let’s lose those appeals to emotion and see how this reads…. As I thought, it sounds exactly like the argument you’d make to federally restrict states from making decisions on abortion and/or guns.

I assume you’re willing to take my word for it that the manner in which he’s threatening to withhold funds is probably impermissibly coercive and unlawful (South Dakota v. Dole)? You still good with it?

Also worth noting that this was a decision of the state legislature, the affected parties were represented, and neither Maine nor the United States have a constitutional provision that restricts them from passing the law. So are you good with your genius “lock up all the kids to protect a few” model being applied to things like hunting? We get some PETA president that says states have to stop issuing hunting licenses or lose federal funding and says “well, the deer can’t protect themselves,” you’d be good with that?

I don't know the facts or context of what you guys are talking about but the federal government acts coercive to States all the time with federal funding, matter of fact, the whole framework is geared towards you have to comply to get funding and that isn't always tied to specifics of the intent of the legislation. For example, when I was growing up the federal government was always attempting to get the States to limit alcohol to 21. Louisiana was one of the hold outs, the penalty was withholding highway funds.

For the record, I don't remember ever being carded in Louisiana even at 15... the only time I was carded was out of State. 🤣

A few states hold out on drinking age. States allowing drinking under 21 begin to lose federal funds

The real coercion is our military as a bottom line

Again why keep someone who isn't performing up to the standards of their boss...the fact you haven't answered this tell everyone all they need to know about you opinions.

He got rid the the head of ICE because he wasn't reporting enough illegals...that's the conversation...that what we are discussing...his argument would have been more effective had he spoke about the amount requested by his boss as an absurd amount of deportations..but he didn't argue that..so he argued keeping someone who doesn't do their job and have no reason why he shouldn't have been let go
