    Common ground? dt just had a speech saying he hated democrats

    "But all of the things that we’ve given, and they wouldn’t vote. Only because they hate Trump. But I hate them, too. You know that? I really do, I hate them. I cannot stand them, because I really believe they hate our country, you want to know the truth" 

     

    Clearly states those that voted against the Bill, but you didn't know that because you are gullible.

    You stooges transact in fear, anger, and division - in direct opposition to your own self interest.

     

    Unless any of you are billionaires or 500 mill CEOs?

     

    Wage slaves parroting the ruling class's propaganda. Good job.

    This is going to come off very mean but I have to ask how bad is your life that you state stupidity like this? Everyone trades time for money, and the American way works wonderfully for me, perhaps you would happier in another country? 

  3. The next thing you know Trump will get the local DA from some small town to make up a charge from 30 years ago or possibly use the FBI to raid a former presidents home and then pretend he did not have the right to the info he has there. If he does either of those I will truly be bothered but when you are arguing the right for people to set cars on fire, you are stupid.

    Obama has been attacked in this very thread for using the word democracy.  I suspect most of us are celebrating amongst are chosen tribe.  I am.  I'd prefer to not physically be around maga's ever.

     

    This is where the country is.

    I don't care if someone politically disagrees with me and it is a sad statement that you can't find common ground with other Americans.

    You are correct, I’m a practicing city planner. 
     

    Ideally, you’d put them in a program to teach workforce skills and ESL courses to contribute to the economy. They’ll buy houses, or rent apartments, buy groceries, and keep money in the local economy. 
     

    My neighbors are both immigrants and both have good, blue-collar jobs. 

    Your neighbors are illegal immigrants? If not then you are intentionally arguing falsely.

    American Planning Association. 

    The only person I know who is part of this group is a city planner, so I am assuming that you are also, or at least something very similar. What would happen to your town if you added an additional 20% of people but the 20% are all poorly educated, have minimal socialization skills, and all of them take more than they provide? Welfare only works when 90% of the population is providing for the 10%

    Homeboy, do the Biden 2024 year now.

    The government can purchase whatever equipment or subscriptions it needs to help its workers do their job. I’m sorry that is a difficult concept for you.

     

    If I had my APA membership removed, I would be less informed and be a worse planner for it. 

    What is APA? I am likely to regret even asking but not sure.

    Sorry, the question as posed initially asked for a, well, lawyerly response. Does calling for genocide (maybe not "genocide" but forced displacement of a people from their recognized land - think "from the river to the sea") violate college codes of conduct? So you got an answer from me that's not that different than the answer the Ivy League presidents gave: no, because unless it is aimed a particular people on campus, it doesn't fit the definition of threatened violence against those people, so 1st Amendment considerations mean we accept it as free speech.

     

    There's another question: is it offensive? That one is easier. Yes. It is offensive to call for the elimination of a people from the face of the earth. Always and everywhere.

     

    And a subquestion: is it offensive to say "from the river to the sea?" Is it offensive to say "Israel shall control Gaza and the West Bank and the Palestinian residents just have to move somewhere else?" I'm not so sure this one is categorical. It's a political question. UN declarations have always honored the principle of self-determination, but then the question is always "who is the self that gets to determine?" Displaced Palestinians and their offspring aren't voting in Israeli elections for obvious reasons. Russia, after forcibly killing or removing ethnic Ukrainians from much of eastern Ukraine, probably says "let's have a vote amongst the remaining (mostly pro-Russia) people about which country they wish to belong to." So this is more complicated.

     

    But since people seem confused by my take, I'll repeat it: calling for the elimination of a people is always offensive and wrong. Depending on the context, it may be a violation of a college's rules, but that requires an examination of the rule and the conduct that allegedly violated the rule.

    I figured you were doing a "lawyer" thing, it sounds good on paper but is not reasonable

    Yes, and of course the logic (a fascinating course; maybe Harvard Extension offers it online?) goes like this:

     

    - Harvard's code of conduct bans harassment and bullying

    - Calling for the elimination or forced movement of a people isn't necessarily harassment or bullying unless it is directed to a specific person

    - Hence, calling for genocide doesn't necessarily violate the code.

     

    Wow. That was fun. Shall we do it again?

    I missed the first time around, so I am asking your opinion, not the reasoning used, is calling for the genocide of a people harassment of people in that group?

  10. Trump's "virtue" is recognizing that the US is special and great. Too many Dems dont understand that and how special and lucky we are to be here. One of my friends children just got back from a study abroad, who is more liberal than me, and was shocked by how much incompetence is just accepted in Spain. The parents and kids are good, hard working people and the kid could not believe the lack of urgency on any matter.

    Many reasons. Developing nations don’t have the capacity for a welfare net, or even basic services. They do not have the same trade agreements and access to the global market. They don’t have the purchasing power for goods like medicine and raw materials. 

     

    Why don't we leave them there and push them to develop as we have? Jumping someone from a 3rd grade education to a high school education is always a failure, why do you believe bringing people from a poorly educated, low level civilization, will be different without vetting the people first?

    No need for the nastiness. 
     

    There is no difference between the kids. They have the same human rights, same dreams, same basic needs. Once you realize that, you’ll figure out why I’m so opposed to ICE and MAGA. 

    So why can't they have all that on the country they came from? why do they get to benefit from their parents breaking laws?

    Nah. 
     

     

     


    You didn’t answer my question. 
     

    What is the difference between the child of a migrant and one of a “legal” immigrant?

    One is here legally and one is here illegally, I am sure you are trying to make a point that will be woefully pathetic so just go ahead and make it.

    The point is to cause as much human suffering as possible. That’s the entire MAGA ideology. It’s completely indefensible 

    The murder rate around the country has plummeted this year, for good people life is better.

  14. This guy is my "next door" congressman, and his words are interesting because if you add up all the actual viplence in OCPS schools outside his district and compare those numbers to the ones inside his district you will quickly realize the conservatives do a great job protecting students. He is right though his area is very dangerous.

    In other words, unless you think it is hilarious that a highly educated black woman breaks into a dance instead of trying to debate her opponents, there is no joke at all here.

    And we have a word for that kind of humor: Racist.

    Her opinion was regarded as unworthy of response by the other SC justices, it is not her race that is the issue. But you keep pretending incompetence is a racial issue.

    Grok made up "facts" about the Idaho shooter. "Facts" that were reposted in the Right Wing Terrorism thread.

     

    The mainstream media did not make up "facts."

    I agree that Grok is not a great research tool, I don't think anyone conservative argued it was, it is certainly not the only AI that makes stuff up.
