Just by the responses in this thread, I don’t think it’s approaching anywhere near 40%.

They want to pay mothers that stay home with their kids.

Yeah, they don’t even get great PR.

The illegal immigrant appears to face one of two options: work in slave like conditions for below minimum wage, or get deported.

Truth be told, I think the ice roundup is merely a spectacle. US business loves underpaid illegal immigrants with no healthcare. The US government loves it too because it reduces costs for whole industries, making everybody else somewhat better off. I do not believe the US will ever substantially reduce their use of illegal labor.

Unfortunately for your hot take, Iraq signed surrender and the US executed their former leader. The US objectively won that war. I get it, in your mind victory or defeat hinges on whether you like the victor or not, but reality doesn’t work that way.

But if it’s any consolation, Iran also defeated Iraq and the US didn’t take on Iraq alone. I personally don’t believe Iraq was a worthy opponent for the US. But saying the US hasn’t won a war since WW2 is factually incorrect.

It’s going to get cold and rainy soon. Too soon.

They exist because trashy disrespectful people exist.

So Iraq being in disarray after defeat somehow implies the US lost the war against them?

And wider conflict? Do you think Iraq was some sort of peaceful neighbor leading up to its demise?

I’ve heard of Mark Zuckerberg. I haven’t heard of Joan Donovan. Why the fuck does anyone care what some Joan Donovan has to say?

Ok, so this person has a wiki article and in it there was apparently some drama about how Joan believes she was fired from Harvard due to pressure from Meta, which the university denies. So now I guess this is her life now.

Iraq was a pretty clear military victory.

Many places won’t rent to someone that cannot prove monthly income greater than 3x the rent.

You are missing the point. Conservatism isn’t anything that you, specifically, believe it is.

Hmmm, I bet it’s no secret who your team is!

I’m not sure how you can be on lemmy or reddit and not recognize out-grouping from the left. Groups fundamentally define themselves by what they aren’t. And each group will strawman the other to strongarm their adherents into staying within the group.

Communist. Pink haired liberals. Nazis. Fascists. Meaningless boring out-group names that are repeated ad nauseum. But go. Indulge. Join a team and have fun. But don’t sacrifice real relationships for some politician. Be smarter than that.

Driving drunk is known to be dangerous. People who indulge in that behavior eventually hurt others. We don’t wait for a drunk driver to crash into someone before we arrest them. We arrest them the minute they turn on their car while drunk.

Someone who indulges in sexualizing children will eventually hurt a child and we should not need to wait for it to happen before we arrest them.

I’ve said far milder stuff than this and had my comment removed for incivility.

I guess we’ll see if Canada drops their tariffs or not.

We’re going to need flock cameras in every kitchen now.

Every time you post it you should put it in quotes and end it with --nonentity for a stylist touch.

Do you just post this everywhere?
