Yes, they did, and I think they have tried to come up with long-term plans to keep funding Ukraine and NATO, which is not really the direction that they have wanted to actually go as a people at all.

Lol these guys take the bait more easily than fish with brains the size of cashews.

Honestly I think the reason is appealing to the increasingly powerful foreign film markets. That's the big driver.

Plus there's all these Asian American actors who think they're creating the Asian American cultural narrative now, and studios are willing to give them small budgets to have Awkwafina and her gang tell some melancholic and pseuodoprofound story.

... Ok some of it is good but I also feel like it is way too ethnocentric.

This will be cited one day by an instance wanting to defederate as an example of our extreme bigotry.

Here is Marcuse, a famous cultural Marxist himself, talking about his generation reifying Marxism and bringing it into a modern context.

Decent Gottfried article on the topic.

Also check out this fun 21st century take on Bioleninism.

That's cool

No prob at all

I'm also having this issue where I can never upload images or pictures as new threads successfully, whether it's cut copy paste on a pc or uploading an image from either the pc or android phone

My most controversial take is that the animal rights movement is basically Ninety percent right. I eat as vegetarian as possible but I allow myself meat on like half the days but I try to minimize it.

I also have this other view... That mass production has actually ended up breaking the world economy. Certain countries are damned to be just resource harvesters and others get to reap all the benefits. Neocolonialism is a real phenomenon...and it's bad.

So I actually have two views that alienate me from a lot of conservatives here....

But my views that alienate me from liberals.... They're more obvious. But not controversial in the context of history. Like telling the audience of humanity past, present, and future that it's bad to cut your dick off or for men to take dicks in the ass or women to marry other women is about as controversial as announcing that "pissing in a glass and drinking it isn't good." yes, some Indians will disagree, but life be like that.

God bless this man - I pray for his salvation.

I am confident in God's mercy and I believe that we will ge the best results for him.

Lord, have mercy on your servant, Dave.

Absolutely disheartening to hear this kind of garbage

But the joke is claiming asylum.

Cubans and Venezuelans of specific backgrounds have good claims for asylum, but the average person arriving actually does not. They are what could be termed economic refugees. The fact that there is any process at all for Mexicans, El Salvadorans, Guatemalans, etc., to obtain asylum is silly...

There's a better case that there are Germans and British people who need asylum for their rights to free speech being infringed upon by local tyrannical police.

There needs to be more funding for the courts to hear these cases quickly and for humane living conditions for these people with the burden shared among all states.

I appreciate you offering up this sort of suggestion - it is well intended, and it is the sort of thing that I would support fully since I think it is the the path of least resistance for making progress on this issue.

I do not want to come off as too overbearing - as I may have in the first half of the post - but I do feel strongly about this.

Thanks for a serious and good suggestion.

Also the laws need to be changed to make it easier to obtain work visas so they can work above board

Fully agreed here as well.

I think that we should actively be working to get Mexicans and central Americans to the US on good visas, and that visas should be awarded primarily to young people without criminal histories and who have graduated highschool which would incentivize prosocial behavior in those countries.

We do have some debt to central Americans since we have played insane games in those countries with the CIA for decades.

Not a bad campaign strategy - how else is he going to try to beat Trump?

The concept though, is pretty clear: the standing budgets of ICE and CBP are inadequate for what is occurring, but instead of increasing these during a crisis, they have spent over a $100 billion on the Ukraine war and are even spending billions through municipal and state budgets to accommodate illegal aliens instead of repatriating them.

 

As per usual, the proposed icon is the Union Jack.

Proposed background image is this iconic image of Tower Bridge.

Was just thinking how strange Boston is...

They have their own silly, cartoon accent... "Irish Americans" with attitude and beer culture, apparently very cheeky and uncouth, but it's also home to some old wealth...

Really dumb Irish mafia sideshow that is apparently... Real?

Silly teams: the Celtics, the Red Sox..!

It's also apparently quite expensive in spite of being such a homey place...

Idk, weird to think of being a Bostonian.

 

"The fact that the defendant is engaged in a political campaign is not going to allow him any greater or lesser latitude than any defendant in a criminal case."

Absolutely serious baloney here.

He's running for the most important office in the world and is facing criminal cases based on novel legal theories that were invented by a human rights court clown to get him and they're imposing regular, business as usual restrictions?

SCOTUS needs to step in.
