Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
956 Worldwide replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
At the time (mid-90s) that the Ford vs. Chevy vs. Mopar guys were standing in the high school parking lot arguing, they (we) absolutely mixed our measurement units. Marketing works well on teenage boys. Ford had advertised their V8 as a “5.0” since they dropped it in the Fox Body. Chevy’s small-block for the Camaro and Corvette (and trucks) was always a “350.” Mopar was beginning to call its 360 truck engine a “5.9” but there was lots of inertia and nostalgia for the 360 small block from the muscle era— and the Mopar crate motor. -
The head of European Command or U.S. Armed Forces in Europe has been dual-hatted as Supreme Allied Commander Europe for NATO since Eisenhower. The role has been a demonstration of reality (U.S. force will be the deciding factor in any conflict) and commitment to Europe’s defense. It’s not a rule SACEUR has to be American. Just how it’s done, and the civilian leadership of NATO (SecGen) is traditionally European as a demonstration that the Alliance is not an American construct or directed organization. The proposal aims to combine European Command with African Command and tell NATO we don’t want their job anymore. It’s basically part of the Trump effort to walk away from NATO in every way they counts and signal to Russia that we don’t care about the defense of Europe anymore.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

The astronaut came up— big guy, tall with huge muscles. And he had tears in his eyes and he said “sir, thank you so much for rescuing us. Joe Biden could never.” And I said you better thank Elon too and he said “and Elon is the best, I’m never going to drive anything but a Tesla. He’s found so much corruption and is doing a great job.” Then I asked him, what if you’re in the space station and it’s depressurizing and it’s going to suck you into the black void. But inside the rescue capsule 10 feet away there’s a shark. Would you choose the freezing void or the shark? And I said “gimme the freezing void! I’m not taking the shark in the rescue capsule. Give me the freezing black void.” And the astronaut said it’s a good question. No one ever asked it before. -

The astronauts were never stranded and flew home on a capsule that has been attached to the space station all along. And we paid for all of it. -

The U.S. got rolled today. Putin refused the ceasefire offer, countered with something else that Putin will not implement, and pitched a bunch of bullshit to pump up Trump’s ego like hockey games. The goal is to get the United States to pressure Ukraine into something unacceptable and then drive a wedge between the U.S. and Europe. Russia is doing its own reverse Nixon on us and everyone around our president is either too stupid or venal to notice or care. Also, the NSC is understaffed and lacking any actual real-world Russia expertise and none of the people they could hire will pass Trump’s political litmus tests. Lots of self-inflicted harm here.

Anastasia and Cheong are aligned that noticing Bucha is bad and likely a fake. You will recall that was his position when it came to light. -
Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
956 Worldwide replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
Up top, let me say that CBP under DJT and Noem appear to have gone completely buck-wild and cruel. On this case, things are much less on the side of the traveler, and any CBP under any admin likely would have bounced her. This CBS article is better reported and explains what actually happened. In a separate article, it’s being reported that her lawyers all quit after doing more due diligence. Not a great vote of confidence. https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/hearing-new-england-doctor-deported-lebanon-canceled-after-attorneys-withdraw-case/RYRF2XCVO5BTNOURS72F6RQGH4/?outputType=amp A couple of thoughts: 1. The only real legal question I see is if CBP ignored a court order they received before she was on a plane back. CBP engages in a lot of ratfuckery, so that could have happened. 2. It is super, super unusual for a federal judge to get involved of questions of entry or order a denial of entry be reviewed/delayed. There is no legal right for a non-immigrant to enter the United States. This is very different from a deportation. I suspect there were some inaccuracies of the facts in the filing (which likely led to the lawyers withdrawing). 3. Reports say that the doctor’s cousin filed a lawsuit on behalf of her. This would likely get tossed because there is no right denied or actual harm done to you if your cousin isn’t allowed to enter the United States. The sponsor of the visa was Brown, not the cousin. It is longstanding precedent to toss lawsuits filed by Americans who demand that their relatives have a right to come visit; and in this case the woman’s stated reason to travel was to work for an employer so her cousin has fuck-all to do with it. 4. When an immigration officer is interviewing you as a non-immigrant for admission, it’s not a legal proceeding where you get due process. Basic human rights are due to you but you don’t have Constitutional rights as a foreign citizen who has not yet entered the U.S. 5. Hard to say why she got yanked for additional screening. Oftentimes CBP gets tips. They 100 percent have the right to search your shit including phones, you can choose to refuse ans not to answer questions and take the next plane back. Entry into the U.S. is basically the only chance the government has to do a full and hard screening with no warrant or order, and they will do it if they suspect you of shadiness I don’t think she herself is a terrorist, but at the same time I can also say that there’s very few CBP officers who are going to let you in if you tell them you were back in Lebanon and went to the funeral of the leader of a transnational terror celebrity because you dig his spirituality. That’s been true for decades. My suspicion is that the family decided to try to use the justified anger over current behavior to try and exploit public opinion.- 566 replies

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
956 Worldwide replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
Also relevant on this and the deportation language: When a person is denied entry at an airport, it’s the airline (not the government) that is on the hook to take the person back on the next available flight to the departure origin. Airlines can also be fined, although that usually doesn’t happen if the person had a valid, checked visa. They will levy a fine if someone shows up with an expired visa or passport or something. -

This one is frankly quite different. She was on a non-immigrant visa and was found ineligible for admission when she presented herself for admission at a port of entry. Reporting on this stuff is notoriously bad with muddled and confused terms. Under U.S. law, arriving at an airport is the same as arrival via a land crossing or boat. She was not deported, she was denied entry. A non-immigrant visa is explicitly NOT a right to entry, is is a right to present yourself for admission to an immigration officer. That’s not a comment on the substance of the denial or the timeline as laid out. Just a statement of fact that there are very different rights and due process involved when removing someone from the United States (even if that person entered illegally) versus denying someone entry to the United States. -

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
956 Worldwide replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
I cannot emphasize enough how insane it is that the White House allowed a rapist MMA fighter who has said he will run for president of Ireland launch an attack on his country’s policies from the White House podium on their national holiday. -
I cannot emphasize enough that the administration intended to make ridiculous arguments and lose. They want to be ruled against then normalize defying court orders on an issue that is broadly popular abstractly (deporting illegal immigrant gang members). They want their lawyers to be shitty and have bad arguments. This whole thing isn’t about deporting people it’s about breaking the rule of law and attacking an independent judiciary. The cases are selected to be unsympathetic (gangsters, Ivy League Palestine protesters, etc). The attacks on Americans and political enemies will come later.

A reminder that he promised all the fucking dorks and Nazis that the Incel Camino would have an “exoskeleton.” And they couldn’t do that, so now they just have a regular unibody, except the panels can’t be welded or bolted on so they glue them. Total shit construction. -

I’m with you, man. In my early 40s there’s a few things I can do with the best of them. Put a football through a tire at 30 yards with a tight spiral. Sling 90 mph heat in the zone for at least three innings before my arm tires. Rebuild a Weber carb. Speak six languages (well, and I’m also fair at reading Latin and a Greek). Keep beautiful women hanging on my every word through dinner, take them back home, and leave them aching but wanting more the next morning. But yeah, video games. My Achilles heel. I was just spending too much time working on my sub-4 mile and summiting all the 14k peaks in the Western hemisphere. -

Really darkly hilarious to me that we have a president who announces fake athletic championships like Kim Jong Il or Turkmenbashi. Really proof positive that the American people have had their minds completely reprogrammed, it’s impossible to imagine a truly free people swallowing shit like this.

Tulsi Gabbard is exactly as bad as could be imagined. It’s incredible to see the Director of National Intelligence retweeting Ian Miles Cheong. What we are seeing in institutions reminds me of the Cultural Revolution.- 1166 replies

How did he not see the hate coming? Elon turned Twitter into a hate machine to be deployed at anyone who says something he doesn’t like. -

What we are doing both internally and externally is causing generational damage that will be felt by our children and grandchildren. We are not going to be able to just turn back on and rebuild things like VoA, RFE/RL, the Wilson Center, or Office of Net Assessments. The country that made those things does not exist anymore and it is nearly impossible to imagine it coming back. Our Allies and partners will not trust us again. We may get to a place with better relationships, but in our lifetime we will never be seen as the obvious preferred partner.- 1166 replies
