I think most people would consider me highly, perhaps obnoxiously principled.

Yeah unfortunately we can’t use that for southerners or they will lose their shit.

DHS does nothing important and it should never be funded again.

Join clubs.

Well this actually happened so I would say mildly surprised. He’s a distant cousin though so maybe it would have been a bigger surprise if it was a first cousin. He married an heiress.

In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that Democrats view the long lines as “leverage” for their demands of change.

“Democrats want to see long lines at airports as leverage. President Trump’s trying to take that leverage away and not make the American people suffer,” Duffy said.

This strategy doesn’t make sense to me. Wouldn’t Trump want disruption to blame on congressional democrats? Or is the assumption the American people will always blame the president?

I would think if they’re able to keep government functions going without funding DHS then it will just prove to people that there was never any need to fund it.

This would be like becoming aware of a single bacteria in your gut. Even if you notice it why would you care?

Honestly ancaps are way more skeptical of ICE than these people. This sub seems to be for fascists who don’t like paying taxes.

I got banned from there for arguing supporting ICE is incompatible with libertarianism lol

I’m torn between satisfaction and fear that what replaces it could be worse.

God I hate these people so much.

Anyone know if these would be subject to FOIA?

Nothing I can point to specifically. Just giving incel vibes. So I mean I could be wrong, that’s why I phrased it so uncertainly.

But I mean a lot of the plot focuses on evil hot women and how rejecting them is the path to righteousness or something like that. Also that they (and other baddies) deserve to be tortured endlessly for their crimes. Again, there’s no specific statement or anything that is itself problematic. But it does make me wonder about the type of person who would include such themes in art they create.

I enjoy this series but I suspect the creator has some… troubling… worldviews.

Nope. Zero tolerance for .ml communities. Even if I’d otherwise be interested, their admins are so unpleasant that I would not recommend anyone participate in them.

Paraquat is probably the single most toxic herbicide on the market and it should absolutely be banned.

The bubble can’t pop until there’s sufficient housing, or a major economic collapse.

It’s almost like decision-making might be impacted after the country’s entire leadership structure was murdered.

But seriously I think there is a strategy here, which is causing Maximum economic chaos and pain the hopes that Trump will chicken out. It’s not a bad short term strategy but angering other nations may come with longer term downsides.

Unfortunately I think it must be assumed in this day and age that any content posted online publicly may be stored indefinitely, on any platform. Even if you delete it, there are bots scraping all your comments, and you won’t be able to delete from those databases. So I’m not sure how much utility this feature would have today.

I feel very confident this is the case. And I also suspect that most of the “bots” or “shills” or whatever other inauthentic accounts people think they are identifying are just these same types of people who have unusual posting habits or communication styles. I’ve yet to see one iota of evidence that there are any accounts masquerading as something they’re not to influence politics. The only actual bots I’ve seen are the boring spambots who just post scam links at a rapid rate.
