Ron Swanson, as much as he hated government, loved his friends more.
He would have fought literal tooth and nail to protect Tom from getting deported.
I'm mixed on whether he would have supported DOGE. There's an entire episode where he's on record of "slashing the budget with a machete" but in that same episode sacrificing his job to save Leslie.
In both situations, it's oppression. There is no other way to look at it. It's no wonder why evangelicals are, by and large, conservatives that support Trump.
The problem isn't the instance you are on. It's the instance this community is on. I've started to comment less and less on .world because of their "both sides are the same" stance.
The biggest problem, and I do say biggest, that DNC has is that they all have been trying to win votes not by being progressive but chasing after "the center" or left leaning Republicans. They can't do that if they support true progressive candidates.
The problem with posting stuff like this on alt-right forums is that they will reject it because it doesn't already align with their beliefs.
There are no facts for conservatives. Only their "truth".
Polygraphs provide authoritarians the excuse to get rid of people.
The same way that scientology uses auditing. The point is to instil fear and doubt into whomever you're measuring so that you can manipulate them.
So, they are extremely useful.
They wanted someone with experience, who can hit the ground running, but didn't want to pay for it, either with cash or time.
You can only pick two.
How does this work? I know that PR is an US territory but I imagine there are some quarantine procedures for animals.
Or has all of that been worked out already and you're just the courier?
Edit: nevermind. My mind skipped past the explanation and went straight for the cute picture.
Volunteers are on both sides of the journey.
Brazil could appeal to the World Trade Organization, propose international investigations and “demand explanations”,
Yeah if there's one thing this administration really respects is investigations.
Going way too far is the point.
This is about oppression, not about justice.
Listening to Behind the Bastards, I've learned that there is a direct line between Trump and the alt-right to Nixon, with a very heavy rest stop at Reagan.
Almost every shitty thing you can think of has its roots in Reagan.
Oh I wholeheartedly know.
But ICE has and continues to arrest citizens. Not sure if they have gone through with trying to deport them but Trump is on record saying that he wants to be able to deport "undesirable" citizens.
So yeah....Tom might be from South Carolina but he's on the lower half of the Peter Griffin skin color chart.
