Xi Jinping is probably gleeful, if he can manipulate that moron he'd have USA under his control. Putin already needs his support for Ukraine, add USA and he'd gain the title of the most powerful person on the planet.
But considering Trump is an uncontrollable toddler, I guess he knows that's a title he can never keep..
What did the 170 citizens detained in immigration raids last year do that was illegal?
If it was illegal, why were charges either dropped or never filed to begin with for the majority of these cases?
If you are open to understanding why people are so upset, do your mind the favor of reading this high quality reporting on the treatment of US Citizens by ICE
1. ProPublica is a multi-Pulitzer investigative reporting group led by former WSJ managing editor Paul Steiger. He is not a socialist, nor is WSJ, nor ProPublica.
2. In the article you will find verifiable claims, records, and quotes which can be easily distinguished from opinions by any discerning reader
> "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!!" Trump went on. "LOCK THEM UP???" He also called for the lawmakers' arrest and trial, adding in a separate post that it was "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH."
So more broadly, calling for any sort of capital punishment is also "political violence"? Even if you're against capital punishment, comparing it to something like Charlie Kirk getting shot is disingenuous. When people think of "political violence" they're thinking of the former, not capital punishment. Lumping the two together is like "do you support criminals? No? Why do you support Nelson Mandela, a convicted criminal?"
> calling for any sort of capital punishment is also "political violence"?
No, of course not, but I'm sure you knew that, hence constructing this straw man so you can knock it over and claim victory.
However, and more to the actual point, calling for capital punishment strictly because you disagree with the factual words someone chose to write might reasonably be considered "political violence". Especially when the words in question clearly call out your potential political intentions and remind people that said intentions can be battled in a particular way.
Didn’t Trump explicitly say the US is putting Maduro’s second in command in charge? If so, that makes any benefits to the people from removing Maduro pretty unlikely. Besides removing sanctions, assuming the new dictator kisses the ring.
It is actually done by the government too. Case in point the Tennessee man who was arrested and jailed for a month. Why? for social media posts critical of Charlie Kirk
That's why the ACLU used to have principles and support extremist groups' right to speech. If they come for them, they'll come for you next. How can you mediate the boundaries of conversation? Every individual must be allowed to peacefully express their opinion. Anyone being attacked for doing so will get support of any classical liberal still around. Call them names if you want, it doesn't work anymore.
It's even worse, IMO. That guy was replying on a thread about Charlie Kirk, but he was critical of Trump, and expressed that criticism with a direct quote from Trump.
No. The simplest example is a matter-dominated universe at exactly the critical density. It decelerates forever but never quite stops expanding--the expansion rate asymptotes to zero.
No, in much the same way that a speeding vehicle slowly decelerating towards a stop doesn't mean that it will return to where it started the journey.
Actually it's worse than that, "decelerating forever" doesn't even mean that it ever even comes entirely to a stop. let alone return to where it started.
Would it not enter the viscinity of other objects which would eventually coalesce into local centers of mass (maybe like one per observable universe diameter or something)?
You have to ignore just about every other part of the story to arrive at this breathless conclusion.
Let’s remember that for this project alone Hyundai invested more money than 99% of us will ever see into this country, and more sum labor hours than any of our individual lives. That’s not what disrespect looks like.
Maybe their visas were not in order so ok enforce that. But not by having their engineers perp walked on live television.
As a side note, if we are going to judge the Hyundai engineers then we must also believe that Elon Musk should have been deported due to his well known early career visa violations. or be damned as hypocrites.
So even tho they broke the law, their treatment was unfair because ... money? Got it. And the embarrassment of being recognized for the crime they committed? Those poor souls - true injustice!
Their treatment was unfair because ICE is a domestic terrorism organization and they got fucking propaganda paraded on live television.
Look around you. Is this really the US you want to be living in? Are you really so pathetic as to be proud of this?
What kind of people do we want to be? Do we really want to be cruel cunts and wave around a "well it's technically legal!!1!" flag? Is that who YOU want to be? Is that how the US should treat allies which invest billions into our economy?
I see. So, when SK perp walks its own illegal migrant arrests on TV, it's "totally fine" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEqFXzeTm5w). But if the US does it to criminal South Koreans? "Propaganda! Propaganda! Propaganda!" Hmm, a racist double standard you'd like to preserve?
So...arresting crims in the US (but not SK) and locking up psychos who dismember young Americans is (for you) 'domestic terrorism', because you're ... fine with rampant crime and bloodshed against Americans? But "terrified" of Americans feeling safe, and society being peaceful? Huh, okay. Are you South Korean and lacking empathy?
Or are you in fact MS-13 or TDA? Or ... I know this dates me a bit, Al-Qaieda or Daesh? If not, maybe apply today. You're already making them proud. Good on you, you've found your purpose!
