    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    One of my favorite rappers in my teenage years is a Somalian refugee, but he had immigrated to Canada so I guess your point technically stands.

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    I am always pretty amused by the inability for people to conceive for even a second that you can be *like* the Nazis without your target being Jewish people. Stephen Miller does speak like a Nazi. The only way in which his heritage relates to that fact is that it’s perhaps slightly more...

    You could name any country or region and I’d be similarly unable to name a specific benefit. Some forms of immigration have a specific benefit, such as students or employment visas, but in general I don’t know what any particular population group as a whole is going to do for me. I just accept...

    I’m sorry that your very stupid pardon had consequences, Donald.

    119th Congress or Red Wave In Adult Land

    Seriously, we can’t just let members of Congress of either party get away with pretending they simply don’t know anything about what the government is doing when doing media appearances. When they start deflecting from unpopular actions by claiming ignorance, reporters should stop the interview...

    In addition to what Zito just said, the data on IQ in African nations is heavily skewed and misrepresented by the work of literal eugenicists and racists. While there are certainly are some genetic components to intelligence, there is no compelling data that actually points to entire races or...

    I love this bit they play where Trump clearly wants something special for his birthday and they find the first holiday or anniversary they can use to attack anybody who makes fun of it.

    Are you asking me to riot? I guess I can throw a chair across a room or something before moving on.

    Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

    The University of Oklahoma student who wrote the genuinely bad essay then claimed it was anti-Christian discrimination when she got a bad grade sure does look like it was a planned event. But hey, congratulations to her for being able to create a whole news story out of writing something bad.

    To wit: There’s a reason that even the outlets friendly to the right largely told the Pentagon to kick rocks. This isn’t journalism, it’s a safe space for the fucking military.

    TRHLIM

    Yeah, kind of. An openly sycophantic press that treats their journalistic role as defending the government against any perceived attacks to its reputation and authority or uncritically serving as its mouthpiece is bad in a way that is more damaging than a press that is sensational or simply...

    There’s still a pretty stark difference here. These people cosplaying as the journalists covering the largest military force in the world are almost exclusively unabashed cheerleaders who have zero interest in anything resembling keeping the government accountable. Fortunately physical access...

    It’s truly wild watching people pretend these are enemy combatants and insisting upon debating the rules of war. They weren’t still in the fight because it wasn’t a fight, it was a bunch of criminals trying to figure out what to do after we unilaterally decided we have the inherent right to...

    I do think there’s a genuine gap here, though. If it isn’t taxable income but can be used as an asset, we’re driving more financial opportunity toward those with already considerable means to begin with in a way I agree is disproportionate. There will always be a conflict in tax policy between...
