He wants *all* undocumented people out

Just to correct a small point of error. He wants all immigrants out, even documented, and they're willing to change legal status at any point to meet quotas.

You're probably correct, I was being generous, which is a mistake with this administration.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. They have already said any official act is above the law.

I'm pretty sure that means he just can't be personally charged with anything he does, but I don't think it means he could actually do something like this. He could try, and get away with trying, but don't think the courts would let it happen. The one way a natural-born citizen can have citizenship revoked against their will is by committing an act of treason -- the others are initiated by the person themself (see below). There would have to be actual evidence of treason, a trial and conviction. Try as he might, he can't actually just rule by fiat - he's not a king.

That is the propaganda, but I have yet to be given any examples. Same with the "fraud, waste, and abuse" found in the Government Civil Servants that were fired.

Actual proof is too little and hard to come by and MAGA followers really don't care anyway; the narrative fits their beliefs -- that, of course, have been fed to them. Sad that the "think for yourself, do your own research" crowd does little of either, because it probably would turn up evidence contrary to what they want to believe.

So did they finish rounding up all of the immigrant criminals and gang members or did they just completely lose focus on them to chase quotas?

That was *never* the actual goal, especially with Stephen Miller's 3,000/day quota. He wants *all* undocumented people out -- even those doing work no one else wants, like farm work (US agriculture secretary says Medicaid recipients can replace deported farm workers) -- and everyone with temporary permission out (hence all the legal-status revocations), and ... -- let's just say everyone who's brown. Trump's just along for the golf-cart ride at this point.

Do you deserve to be a citizen, especially if you are being unpatriotic in calling out the lack of clothes on the emperor?

Or simple be someone he doesn't like ... Trump says he’s considering revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship -- noting that she was born in New York, and her parents were U.S. citizens. I mean, *maybe* he thinks saying mean things about him could be considered "treason" (a reason born citizenship could be revoked) but I doubt that would fly even with this SCOTUS.

To have on my ventoy stick

Sure, but while this ISO is only 580MB, you can do the same thing with a regular/full live distro ISO by booting it and installing GParted into the live instance, if it's not already available. I did this the other day using a Linux Mint 22 (Cinnamon) image I already had on my multi-boot thumb drive. So this is useful, but (probably) not essential.

No mention of how long until human trials even start, let alone when we can buy it.

Guessing they're already available in some inexpensive food or supplement, but they haven't figured out how to turn them into an expensive, prescription-only product yet, that, of course, people will have to take daily. #cynical-but-probably-true

The plan is to build 130. What can we conclude from this?

None of them will block the view from Trump International golf course in Aberdeenshire, Scotland?

(History: Trump claimed an 11-turbine off-shore wind farm blocked the view from his golf course, sued, lost and was ordered to pay $290,000 (U.S.) in legal fees, that he, of course, initially refused to do, then did (as far as I can tell). Google: trump golf Scotland wind farm.)
