@ScottPresler Lol. It does track that the bigot caucus would try to insist this one guy - who, to be clear, is obviously a monster - is somehow representative of all immigrants.

Make your case without the stereotyping and bullshit. Or just shut the fuck up & delete your account. Not picky

@FrogUponAShroom @PraxeoJay @Poochisxz2 People in poverty are more prone to crime because desperation makes people do stupid shit. That's not the same as saying it's the ONLY reason people do stupid shit. As it turns out, being a mentally-broken scumbag who's addicted to making lines go up does just fine as motive, too

@PraxeoJay @Btsbiggestfan19 @Poochisxz2 And there it is - devolving into naked bigotry because your arguments are shit. "Austrian school" fuckwits remain the worst people alive.

@saveameric1va @SebMilbank @SusanneAydinlik Counterpoint: Even if FDR's actions/intents weren't 100% transparent, the IJN was responsible for the Rape of Nanking and countless other atrocities across the Pacific.

Opposing them was *right*, and if the public needed to be massaged into taking morally-right action, that's ok

@SpencerHakimian People are stupid. That's most of it.

@Noahpinion Think the answer to your concerns there is just better safeguards - applications for a euthanasia program requiring a minimum time + psychological screening. Do the best-possible effort to ensure that people are choosing that ending of their own volition.

@JohnGuaido69 @USA_Polling While you are right - the point is that an LA+4 poll is *apocalyptically* bad, given it's a state Trump won by +22.

They've lost basically everyone but the independents. Polls this bad in LA make less-red states like Iowa and Texas real battlegrounds.

@HankDesmondPhD It's not his home. It's the people's house. Trump is just the tenant on a 4-year lease. And the court is acting as the landlord telling him to open up for an inspection.

@ScottPresler "Potential" and all you have is records discrepancies, of which 90%'ll resolve to not being illegal votes.

Now we're talking ~20,000 possible votes, half of whom actually will, in a D+25 state with 40 million ballots.

Not even mountains from molehills, the reach is so extreme.

@SeanTrende In other words - don't be MAGA, and just be fucking normal instead?

Sure is a shame that Trump is the MAGA cult leader, then.

[Left Beef @AppalachianReje]

@SeanTrende NGL, my gut instinct here is that the only reasons this is true are:
A) Trump is corrupt enough to do massive carveouts in exchange for bribes (alternatively, the bribes were the point and the tariffs were a shakedown scheme)
B) The courts shot down a fair few of the tariffs.

@runyoahhdown @PraxeoJay @Poochisxz2 Sure. But when it comes to wage theft and white collar crime, everyone demands the maximal benefit of the doubt for perps. For petty theft like these Oreos, it's full panopticon and justifying cops shooting folks in the parking lot. The disparity in "default" reactions is absurd.

[Left Beef @AppalachianReje]

@AGToddBlanche Are you pretending to be stupid for clout, or are you actually this incompetent? Actually, I don't care - both valid answers mean you should resign:

This is FALSE. The government has NOT been barred from doing third-country removals.

ICE has been barred from doing so 1) without telling people before they're on the plane, and 2) without letting them raise fears of persecution/torture.

The First Circuit upheld the below.

@runyoahhdown @PraxeoJay @Poochisxz2 People who're already making low wages, & then get their checks shorted have trouble retaining lawyers. Yes, there is legal recourse- but it isn't always accessible. And part of my point is that nobody ever expresses the same vitriol for the rich assholes behind wage theft.

[Left Beef @AppalachianReje]

@PraxeoJay @Poochisxz2 Phone scams are classified differently. But the FBI's statistics still show all in-person robbery forms combined are a tiny fraction of wage theft. The retailers putting up these dumb Oreo lockers make more by shorting checks than they lose to pickpockets.

@AmanitaFugax That peak "After Hitler, our turn" energy from some of these idiots is *impressive*

[Left Beef @AppalachianReje]

@runyoahhdown @PraxeoJay @Poochisxz2 And when you agree to do a job, it's for compensation.

So, when the employer steals your tips, applies illegal deductions to your check, shortchanges the hours on your pay cycle - that's still stealing. And not what you agreed to when working.

[Left Beef @AppalachianReje]

@PraxeoJay @Poochisxz2 That isn't what wage theft is. So you slinging insults while misdefining terms is just funny.

Wage theft is employers *literally* not paying your hypothetical $14/hr at all - illegal deductions, not properly paying overtime, etc.

Keep licking the rich man's boot, tho

[Left Beef @AppalachianReje]

@PugsleyGray @5minute_witness @Brcremer Insisting everyone BUT the state is a liar isn't an argument. You're the one who's produced0 support for his claims beyond admitting "I'm gullible enough to think feds are trustworthy and held to account when they aren't."

So, I am treating you with the respect deserved.

@AndrewKolvet She's an American. Same as you or me. And much as it pains you stupid nativist fuckwits to admit it, English isn't our national language - there isn't one.
