ICE activity/raids
I assume that's him supporting people who drive through protests, potentially killing protestors. I don't think he has any issue with cops killing non-Republicans, regardless of context.

Killing the woman did not stop or slow the car. Killing the woman did not change the car's direction. The officer did not get hurt. Because he was never in any actual danger. If his life had been in danger prior to killing the woman, he'd be dead now.

Trump’s America
Not to give the administration any idea, but I think that would make it easier to acquire. With a population of 67,000 people, it seems like we could offer each person $100,000 if the referendum to pass, and we could effectively buy it for $67B. That sounds like a bargain to me. I still think it's ridiculous, but bribing a small population seems less ridiculous that threatening an ally.

Senate 2026
Using FDR as a data point is good from an economic standpoint. I'm not sure that holds up for other policies. He did deport thousands of American citizens of Mexican descent, continue the segregated military, etc.. For anyone looking for role models from the past, I'll quote Blake: "Drive your plow over the bones of the dead." (In order to grow something new, you need avoid the reverence of the past.) FDR was better than most, but most really sucked.

Yep. The bigger pool of viruses reproducing inevitably leads to greater genetic diversity in the pool. Sooner or later, there will be genetic variations which my body hasn't trained on.

I was thinking the same thing. But I wasn't appreciating that the only they would risk is American tax dollars. (NBCNews)

He does think about himself a lot, and that certainly counts.

Assuming this true, and not some viral bullshit that the Department of Homeland Security couldn't figure out.. Hiltons are mostly franchised, so I assume it's a franchise owner, not the Hilton corporation making that call. Or maybe some lower level employee making a stand. I would expect Hilton corporate to weigh in and threaten the franchise. No way are they going to risk their government business over this.

Mine too. But the algorithm really hit a home run when it recommended "Team America: World Police" after watching a news clip on Venezuela.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords
One of the big questions for AI is what effect it will have on humans. How you treat AI will train you. On one hand, I can see that keeping some level of detachment is good, to avoid confusing an AI as a real person. But if say 70% of the interactions during the day are with an AI, and I act like a dick, I think that would inevitably have some carry over with real people. If I drop "thank you" and "please" when interacting with an AI, will that carry over to how I deal with my family? Also, in pretty much every scifi movie where the robots take over, it's always the abusive asshole human who gets got in a particularly gruesome way.

She has decades of grift available for her. A tell-all about shit everyone already assumes isn't going to pad her wallet like hawking cheap jewelry will.

Trump’s America
But he does demonstrate the anti-woke mindset, with the basic dogma of "Any societal changes after high school is suspect." We have this weird, natural inclination to believe we grew up "right." I first realized this when I spent my first Christmas with my ex and this weird belief we both had that our vision of Christmas was the version we should follow. Being "woke" means you challenge what you assumed previously. There are a lot of people who struggle with that.

TIL there’s something called fraud tourism. Congrats, Minnesota.
Can you point to the part of the article that matches up to "an insular, clannish set of first and second generation immigrants from a notoriously corrupt and crime-ridden locale, who are virtually all dependent on state welfare.." Where is the author implying that Somalians brought this corruption to America? You seem to think this about the mafia; it's not. This is about poor people, loose money during a crisis, and the opportunities for grift that inevitably follow.

For me, "woke" is a fairly non-specific realization that you were wrong about what you formerly believed, or at least assumed. "Waking up to the fact that..." That might be at different times for different subjects. For my GenX self, examples might include: Homosexuality is normal, and, as such, there is really nothing to ridicule. Fag jokes are usually just nervous energy channeled into giggles. Not only were black people telling the truth about racism in society, they were likely understating the case due to politeness and fatigue. This is particularly true about their interactions with the police. Body cams made a huge difference in waking up, but the Rodney King case and Mark Fuhrman laid the ground work. My perception of many ethnicities was heavily influenced by movies and TV, the writers of which knew no more than I did. They were just regurgitating the same tropes.

Seriously man, just fuck off. You keep using this story as cudgel against the Somalian as a whole, as if they imported welfare fraud from Somalia. It's exactly why the Trump administration is pushing it and you are just lapping it up. White people, including Aimee Bock, commit plenty of fraud, but your main take-away is that we must do something about those unethical African immigrants.
