I feel like the headline is misleading given our current climate.

Orleans sheriff currently has a policy to LIMIT how they interact with ICE. Louisiana passed a law making not cooperating with ICE a felony. Orleans sheriff says they will continue with current policy and limit their interactions with ICE.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• cheap
• quick
• experience

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.

• the most felony convictions
• the most state and federal criminal investigations that are still open
• the most amount of diapers worn during a presidential term
• the first president in what 20 years to puss out and have his inauguration indoors
• the first president to have been a confirmed rapist

I’m going to speculate:

• the smallest penis
• the most obese
• the shortest

I was having just this conversation with a friend of mine the other day. There is a level of net worth that once you hit it, it becomes exponentially harder to get out of poverty than someone who isn’t poor. And absolutely no amount of money can help them because unless you can stop the churn, all that money will just go toward the black hole of fees and other expenses.

The DNC rigged the primary for Hilary and pushed Bernie out. My unpopular opinion is that the DNC was within their rights to do that (being a private party and all) but it was shitty as hell.

The DNC is putting their finger on the scale in the NYC mayoral race right fucking now.

The DNC is getting away with this because we can’t be bothered to create a third party or hold them accountable.

…

Wow I started this post wanting to disagree with you but…yeah…we really need to be marching against the DNC right now.

Tricking people to pay 100x its normal cost is pure unadulterated capitalism.

He’ll never admit it. He’ll blame immigrants or the gays or the trans or the woke or the Jews or the liberals or Biden or Obama or the Clintons.

Never himself.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

They are going to be sued by Christians or the government itself. We are no longer a country bound by the rule of law.

The sad reality is that good journalism is expensive but no one wants to pay for it.

Even we, the readers who benefit from it, rarely want to actually pay for it.

Sadly yes. Ever since he became a “philanthropist”, people come out of the woodwork to say he’s “one of the good ones”. I have to remind them that he may be “good” now but he can still pay his fucking taxes and be better.

It’s not incompetence.

It’s indignant.

They know they are getting away with it and there isn’t a fucking thing anyone can do to stop it. None of his followers are going to stop worshipping him as a result.
