@infantrydort Closer you are to the front line, the more realistic you are about the enemy and the threat.

When you live in a solid-blue jurisdiction, you see what they're like when they no longer need to keep up the kayfabe and can let their freak flag fly freely.

@LisaA311 "Stopping someone before he kills you proves that he was never trying to kill you in the first place. I am very clever."

(Lagniappe: coming from an account whose name advocates trying to kill people.)

@SoundMoneyG Methodology here is lame: they pick some "engagement" metrics, assign them weighted point values, and the sum equals "patriotism" score.

Fully 25% of the score is simply the share of adults who voted in the 2024 Pres election.

@Geiger_Capital As Tom Lehrer said,

"It's people like that who make you realize how little you've accomplished. For example, when Mozart was my age... he had been dead for three years."

@BuzzPatterson Democrats saying they need their own "Declaration of Independence" because of a Republican President they despise is, at least, historically on-brand.

@NachoCat16 I'm not convinced they're capable of understanding first-order ones.

@LokiJulianus Not to be the "actually" guy, but actually...

Conviction for certain offenses is grounds for deportation, but that doesn't apply if there's a pardon. 8 USC 1227(a)(2)(A)(vi).

He might be deportable on other grounds, but the pardon does take away that one.

@DrunkRepub Why should I have to choose?

@AmerPhilo2025 High School Vice Principal, central casting HR lady, known for coddling minority troublemakers.

Blocks and sabotages disability accommodations for white kids because "white boys don't have problems" and they "need to learn what it's like".

This was way back in 1991.

@eScarry Counterpoint:
Deport the men.
Women can stay but they gotta be at least a nine.

[Charles P. Kalina @CPKalina]

@8USC12 Unless they're, like, at LEAST a nine.
Maybe eight with a good personality.

@AndrewCFollett My favorite Abraham Lincoln quote relates to that that "it's for their own good" theme:

@ThomBrady5 This is why they don't steal visuals from "Man in the High Castle" -- even though it literally depicts a Nazi America, which is what they claim to be hashtag-resistance-ing.

(When you tell people good things are "Fascism", etc.)

[Charles P. Kalina @CPKalina]

@alexthechick Ah, that takes me back... to my high school game store job in the early 90s...

@CynicalPublius Worse: Trump had the right credentials to be in the club -- money, prep school, Ivy League -- but chose not to be.

@SoundMoneyG Depends on for whom.
Working well enough for them.
Purpose of a system, etc.
