  1. One helluva headline: 'A terrible feeling': Man who deported thousands of people learns he's undocumented https://abc7chicago.com/post/raul-rodriguez-border-patrol-us-military-cbp/12883822/
  2. swing and a miss? You're certain that you're going to heaven when you die? that's objectively funny
  3. what's funny is that fatty things he's going to heaven when all is done
  4. Bass Slayer just asking (stupid) questions: hahahaha
  5. guy does the ReEEEE thing and then like 5 mins later is unironically whining about his feelings being hurt lmao
  6. I wonder the same about baseball games, and well, shit, just about any form of live entertainment these days.
  7. check this out https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.285023/gov.uscourts.dcd.285023.12.0.pdf
  8. part of the problem is that the GOP will elevate some random's tweet as the national Dem policy. Oh, look at this woman - who's running for city council in Portland - saying that police funding should be slashed! Dems want Anarchy! And then the people who only casually pay attention, see this regurgitated by every conservative media outlet, TikTok video, Podcast, etc., and think "hmmm, Dems are crazy!"
  9. I appreciate you coming here seeking honest discourse. I think a lot of the antagonism you're receiving is based on your dismissal of Harris based on nebulous vibes and feelings. Is there something about her policy or platform you disagreed with? is there something that appeals to you about the Trump/GOP platform? TBH, a lot of the hate towards the Dems on a national level are based on untruths, intentional misinterpretations, and stereotypes. I've mentioned this on other threads, but take a look at the legislation passed every year in California - worker protections, improving access to healthcare for all, union protections, protecting LGTBQ, sensible gun legislation, women's reproductive freedom, etc. Take a look at Harris's platform in 2024. Compare that to what's happening in Texas, other GOP states, and Project 2025 (which at this point is obviously being implemented.) But if you take a passing look at the national media, you'd think that all they do out there is make Furries the official state animal, and give "illegals" checks every month. When you compare the two, which one is more appealing to you? We need to stop voting or siding with parties/candidates based on vibes and gut feelings. Read and compare the legislation put forward by candidates. Study their policy positions. It doesn't take that much time. When you see GOP politicians whose platforms solely involve things like "making America more free, protecting our God given rights, and fighting for the constitution, ask yourself why they are unable to articulate any tangible policy. The answer is simple - their policies are unpopular with the majority of Americans. That's not an opinion - polling overwhelmingly supports this. So they deal in platitudes and feel-good slogans that, in a vacuum, are difficult to criticize. If one is a voting for the GOP these days, it really only makes sense if you fall into one of the below categories: 1) Top .01% and/or 2) believe America was a better place when their was both intentional or de facto discrimination against Blacks, women, and immigrants. And that's not even considering the current administration who just yesterday declared that Americans in the largest cities are the "enemy from within" and that they will be gleefully sending American troops into those cities to teach them a lesson. You should be able to see why when someone stands in the middle while this is happening, they are, at best, mocked, and more typically, reviled.
  10. Honest question What are his moderate policies?
  11. Memoir by a Taiwanese-American kid who went to UC Berkely in the 90's as he tried to figure out an identity despite always feeling like a foreign kid. Found A LOT that I could relate to, despite being the WASPy kid that he was desperately trying to reject
  12. I'm as shocked as he is that Donald seems unconcerned with the plight of the mentally ill homeless
  13. do you want a coup? because this is how you get a coup.
  14. I think its just part II: "Jesus Christ: Now you See me, Now you Don't"
  15. they should propose some absolute silly shit like bringing down the price of a sub sandwich or reducing monthly mortgage payments for all Americans. Then just blast the GOP when they refuse. Hey, if one party can spend the final month of a presidential campaign telling Americans that they will bring down egg prices, I don't see why not
  16. https://gizmodo.com/the-adl-defended-elon-musks-awkward-gesture-now-he-calls-it-a-hate-group-2000665034 Clearly, Laurie needs some better FB friends Its everyone's favorite Australian anti-Semite:
  17. If only the President could see this! Wait wait that's too much change! sandwiches? In this economy? Dave Noted economist Ashley is confused by what she's seeing Cindy votes for Trump because she DOESN'T want a pedo in office. Oops
