convince Herr Cheeto’s finest that you’re not a threat to national security.

Literally nothing would

El P and Open Mike Eagle are like the better written versions of my own internal monologue

You’re the only program that loads quickly enough on my pile of junk machine to write down my impulsive ADHD ideas before I forget them so I can forget to read them later

He’s independent, meaning no party

Because hundreds of millions of dollars are spent to make real information seem as confusing and boring as possible

I think it’s the true goal of these “actually Joe Biden is great and you’re an idiot for thinking otherwise” bastards who exclusively attack leftists. Thinly veiled reverse psychology designed to piss people off into not voting or voting third party.

Maybe the real Modern Warfare was the blackmail material we created on ourselves along the way

I would say the last time they existed was the 1970s when Nixon agreed to create an EPA he really didn’t want to that had fewer powers than its supporters really wanted. The 90s only seemed smooth because scumbag Clinton gave Republicans everything they wanted on welfare reform, criminal justice, telecom deregulation, intellectual property laws, and international trade.

And we still got Gingrich and the contract with America and Ken Starr and Sore Loserman for being so conciliatory

This country’s system of governments is a joke that stopped being funny

tl;dr this guy did a horrible thing, but based on the number of brain injuries you can read about him suffering over the course of his lifetime I really doubt he was legally competent, and either way I think the death penalty is dumb and does as much to retraumatize victims as offer closure

Either way, please wear a helmet when riding motorcycles and yell at your lawmakers to make sure neonatal units have the best possible resources to maybe prevent people like Wendell Grissom from going so far off the rails

Naked Kennedy Center Staffer for president!

67,000 white South Africans have expressed interest in Trump’s plan to give them refugee status

Have they? Because I see a news story about an unofficial private business organization that was founded in Atlanta in 2020 handing a list of purported names to the South African embassy. They very easily could have made all these names up as a publicity stunt hoping it would land some of their members new business from racist Anericans.

Constituent Kristin Fellows, 62, asked the Democrats how they are pushing back against Musk and President Donald Trump.

“We know that you are against these current awful happenings going on in the world, but it is simply not enough for you to repeatedly tell us that you are,” Fellows said, according to the Associated Press, and the question was met with a round of applause from the audience.

“My job is to be more than just an activist. It is to answer the call when there’s an immigration raid and we need to figure out where our people are,” Slotkin said. “All of those things require me to be more than just an AOC.”

Slotkin ought to know where “our people” are since she voted for legislation requiring any immigrant who’s baselessly charged with petty nonsense like shoplifting to be detained (archived).

Thank you for posting those related articles because if just had to go off the OP alone I would have no earthly idea which terrifying dystopian move was being discussed

But calling her a tourist in the headline is a clear misrepresentation

Sure thing, and if you stay over at a friend’s house and make the bed in the morning it’s their legal obligation to report you for not obtaining a proper license for your housecleaning business first /s

Anyone willing to encourage tourism to America by being such a guide would probably take your money and then find a reason to get you arrested by ICE anyway. Not like you could take it up with a consumer protection agency now.

They are absolutely desperate to fill their quotas, they’re selfish cowards who know how quickly their Dear Leader will throw them under the bus if they don’t

I couldn’t find a complete transcript of the interview anywhere, but I did find a slightly longer CBC article discussing it with more quotes (archived).

That is important context, thank you. I still kind of think that taking an assertive stand against what the United States is doing to Germany citizens is the kind of clear call this minister probably ought to feel empowered to make, but on the other hand I have a deep appreciation for government workers who feel their obligations to upholding democratic systems, so this is a hard call to make I suppose.
