Defunding the police is actually popular as long as you don’t call it ‘defunding the police’.

That’s just horrific.

My theory is that you need both. You need figures that are non violent, but also the threat of more violent leaders around the corner if the non violent ones get ignored. You need Malcolm X to make MLK look like the compromise.

Yeah, look at the Iraq war protests, they didn’t amount to anything because they were peaceful and easily ignored by the media.

Happened during the first Trump admin as well. He fired all the pandemic guys and then was caught with his pants down when a pandemic happened.

The little Hitler moustache explains why he didn’t refuse this deployment.

I wasn’t talking about the Supreme Court. The people should be holding a constitutional convention.

The right already has a plan to do that, the people should have their own plan to counter it / take it over.

And actually a big part of the issue is the Supreme Court intentionally misinterpreting the letter and spirit of the constitution. The first, second and fourth amendments were fine the way they were, the Supreme Court just chipped away at them until they meant nothing any more.

You really need to rewrite all this shit from scratch. 250 years is a good run, but at some point you need to restart to fix shit.

It just means a bunch of farmers and restaurant owners called him up and complained about it. The deal was always that you only talked tough about deportation, you didn’t go through with it because otherwise those sectors would need to hire Americans that might unionise and complain about working conditions.

Eh, his brother was sitting right next to him and didn’t make it. This guy’s going to be wracked by survivor’s guilt.

Didn’t really get to for ages, but with a steam deck it’s doable to do it after the kid’s in bed to play an hour or 2 of something. You definitely have to pick other types of games than the ones I used to play tho (FPS and RTS don’t really work well with the Steam deck controls).

Yeah, shouldn’t there be 0 troops in those places?

Was that before they got rid of ‘don’t be evil’?

Yeah, that means we can just replace them with a basic ChatGPT subscription and save millions every year, right?

ParentYou said federal troops, and I guess those would be marines as those are the ones that were deployed to California. Also ridiculous overkill for an unarmed guy who’s only crime is handing out stuff to protestors.

Not just a state senator, full on the Senator for California, arrested in his own state.

Is that why he’s wearing army boots and pants? Presumably he was arrested in his underwear?

Golden visas aren’t really that extraordinary, many countries have something similar. It’s just a slap in the face to everyone else that has to jump through an increasing amount of hoops just to get a green card to see that you can just skip the line if you’re wealthy enough (which has really always been the case on some level, but not that blatant).

I mean, Bolivia has a socialist President, so chances are the workers aren’t actually as exploited as they could be elsewhere.

Everything within 100 miles of the border or a coast is technically ‘at the border’ for the purposes of enforcement. That covers pretty much 90% of the US population.
