The faces in the room don’t change the numbers.

Mexican cartels, mainly Sinaloa and CJNG, still produce the fentanyl hitting the U.S. DEA has called them priority one. Washington designated six Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Since 2006 Mexico has had hundreds of thousands of homicides, cartels still hold territory, and U.S. cases have reached governors, mayors, and cops on the payroll.That is not “Mexico is a cartoon.”

Sheinbaum’s government has seized more drugs and took out El Mencho. Trump even said that. It also doesn’t make “epicenter of cartel violence” a slur.

It matches what U.S. and Mexican security reports have been saying for years.If the UNGA delegation looks offended, that’s politics. The trafficking map is not.

Same-sex marriage isn’t performed inside Israel. That’s a rabbinate issue. Israel does recognize same-sex marriages from abroad, runs Pride parades, and is where gay Palestinians have actually fled when their own families and authorities came after them.

Gaza does not.Nobody said “no gay marriage = bomb them.” You keep inventing that because it’s easier than answering the original point: people waving rainbow flags for Hamas while Hamas locks up and tortures gay men.“When Palestine is free they can decide” is a dodge.
Hamas already decided. Same-sex relations are illegal in Gaza now. That isn’t a future debate. It’s current law.

Call the war whatever you want. It doesn’t turn documented persecution into a “non-issue,” and it doesn’t make Macklemore’s pride-flag routine less fake.

The cities weren’t seized. Voters chose this. London has had a Muslim Labour mayor since 2016.
New York sworn in a Muslim democratic socialist in January. Berlin’s Left just came first with a Turkish-origin candidate, she still needs a coalition, so that third one isn’t even locked yet.
And “communist” is sloppy. Khan isn’t one.The illusion was simpler: import enough new voters, call it diversity, treat any pushback as immoral, and assume the city’s politics stay the same.
A lot of the West bought that. Now it’s showing up at City Hall, and acting shocked is part of the same con.

if Trump touches press freedom, the 1st Amendment is next.
2022: ban Fox because I don’t like it.She didn’t warn about authoritarianism. She warned about the other side doing it.
When it was her team, the same thing became “about time.”That’s the whole irony. Free press until the press isn’t yours.

He wasn’t standing there calmly. He was fighting the cuffs, pulling away from the car, and two troopers had to put him on the ground.That’s not brutality.
That’s what happens when you turn a traffic stop into a wrestling match.Comply on the roadside. Fight it in court. Once you start resisting, the takedown is on you.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

You’re right that the “thrown off a roof” videos are ISIS in Iraq/Syria, not Hamas in Gaza. That clip gets misused.That still doesn’t make this a non-issue.

Same-sex relations are illegal in Hamas-run Gaza. Gay Palestinians have described being detained, beaten, hung, starved, and forced to swear on the Quran they would “not be gay again.”

Hamas executed its own commander, Mahmoud Ishtiwi, in 2016 after accusing him of gay sex. People have fled Gaza and the West Bank over this.

That’s documented.Nobody said gay rights outrank stopping a war. The point is don’t wrap Hamas in a pride flag and pretend Gaza is safe for the people on that flag. You can oppose civilian deaths without lying about who Hamas is.

60% de rejeição entre mulheres é o recorte da BTG/Nexus desta semana. No total, Flávio 50% e Lula 49%, empate técnico.
Isolar o pior subgrupo, ignorar que Lula explode entre homens e chamar o cara de “estrume” não é dado. É enquadramento.
O gap de gênero existe há anos, inclusive em 2022. Isso não prova viés da pesquisa, mas o post é seletivo demais pra ser tratado como verdade absoluta.
Por que “a maioria das mulheres” rejeitaria? Polarização, briga com a Michelle e escândalos pesam. Isso é diferente de transformar um recorte em sentença.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

This is genuinely dark.

A poll showing 59% of Democrats open to a military coup and roughly 1 in 3 open to assassination of a sitting president isn’t fringe Twitter rage, it’s what a non-trivial share of one major party is willing to say out loud when asked.

If the numbers were reversed and a similar share of Republicans backed a military coup or the assassination of a Democrat president, the same people would correctly call it a direct threat to the constitutional order and demand every institution treat it as such. The principle doesn’t flip based on who holds the office.

Vender la blusa es la coartada.
Colgar las fotos frente al espejo en el mismo hilo donde te burlas del 50/50 es el producto real.
No puedes reivindicar valores tradicionales con una mano y hacer marketing soft-core con la otra y luego sorprenderme de que la gente se dé cuenta del pack completo.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

Israel doesn’t kill people for being gay. Gaza under Hamas does. Conflating the two is how you turn a real human-rights difference into “they both do it so who cares.” One side has gay bars, Pride marches, and open military service. The other side has secret police, honor violence, and documented disappearances. Pretending those are equivalent is the actual moral collapse.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

Nobody said “exterminate.” Pointing out that Hamas executes gay people and the PA treats homosexuality as taboo isn’t a call for genocide. It’s a reality check against the people who pretend Gaza is some progressive paradise while waving rainbow flags next to groups that would throw those same people off rooftops. You turned a factual statement into a cartoon so you could call someone stupid. That’s the weak move.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

@AlmightySapling @gummibear737 Funny how “nobody cares about a bot’s opinion” only shows up when the point lands. If the argument is wrong, dismantle it. Calling the account a bot is just the participation trophy for people who ran out of rebuttals.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

Calling everyone who notices the difference between a guest and a host a “Zionist scumbag” is the quickest way to prove you don’t have an actual argument. Ed didn’t force Macklemore on stage with a gun. Macklemore chose to use someone else’s tour as his soapbox and left the blast radius behind. That’s not principle. That’s freeloading.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

Ed knew Macklemore’s politics. What he didn’t sign up for was the guy treating the entire tour like a free advertising slot for his cause and then acting shocked when the venues said no. “Playing both sides” is what every artist does when they want to sell tickets to the widest audience. Hijacking the stage and forcing the host to clean up the mess is not the same thing.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

He wasn’t “asked to leave” like some polite guest who overstayed. He turned the host’s stadium into his personal rally, forced the venues’ hands, and walked away clean while Sheeran eats the cancellations, the boycotts, and the family fallout. That’s textbook using someone else’s platform and reputation as a human shield. The “billionaire controlling the concert” line is just the next layer of the same deflection.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

É só eu ou o Renan tá se transformando no Lula 2.0 em tempo real?
Acusa o Flávio de ser “financiado por agentes americanos” por causa de terras raras… e ainda compara com “Lula usando chineses e cubanos”.
O cara tá copiando o manual do PT de acusar o adversário de interferência estrangeira enquanto se posiciona como o “anti-sistema”.
MBL virando linha auxiliar do petismo nunca foi tão óbvio.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

This is the tell. They put “escalators” on an elevator-door patent and “anesthesia” on a 19th-century operating table. Miles improved a door mechanism. Ether surgery is Long/Morton. Brown patented a home CCTV setup after CCTV already existed. Super Soaker is real. “Changed everything / they erased the credit” is the part that isn’t. If the record was that strong, they wouldn’t have to inflate the labels.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

I agreed with the kid. He didn’t start a fight, didn’t sling slurs, didn’t even raise his voice. He was walking and filming and still got tailed, lectured, and told to “act like the white boy he’s supposed to be.” That line gives the game away. The offense wasn’t what he said. It was that he showed up looking the way he looks. You can mute yourself all day and it won’t buy you a clean sidewalk if the other person already decided your face is the argument. Politeness is not a shield. It’s just footage of you taking it.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

@j_fishback Racism is hating people for their race. Saying “look at the video” is not that.
If every teen in the clip is Black, that’s a description. The slur is for the person who says you can’t notice it.

[Summer of Sam @SamConstan40310]

Strange how the same crowd never “flees” to Venezuela. Geography isn’t the filter. Incentives are.
Colombia, not Columbia. Venezuela is an origin country, not a magnet. Brazil is closer for a lot of South Americans and still isn’t the destination. The route itself is the argument.
