Yeah, it's the legal one that everybody here in the leftwing echo chamber want to silence.
The reply was to this: "The idea that illegal immigrants need to be deported comes from a view that those jobs should go to American citizens or from a view that browns don't belong in the USA" Calling everybody a…
It's more intellectually convenient to call people racists and push over the strawman than it is to deal with reality. This is American politics today in a nutshell.
Would be nice if we lived in a world where if you were getting "[fed] into a woodchipper" you could ... oh I don't know ... QUIT! At will employment. You're free to go and live your life how you see fit. Well, at least…
A true test of one's desire for truly free and open society and speech is whether or not one's willing to stand up and fight for that "other" person's right to say something they hate. I can't watch soccer highlights…
LOL And here, folks, is the problem. This person is absolutely certain the far "right" is the problem ... not his beloved echo chamber censoring totalitarian "left".
Right. Governments don't have profits. In the last 30 years, they've all racked up massive amounts of debt. What do we call what the guys who run our government make since they only have debt (and not profits to speak…
Right. Giving the government more money to do things works really well. Here in the USA we've given the governments 3x more money in real terms to run our public schools, and we've gotten worse results over those 3…
Cost in this example is simply rate paid on your electric bill, but with the government - essentially unaudited - the bill isn't the real price. The assumptions everyone's making are just lazy.

lol caps prevent "unreasonable" rates of tax
Anybody who believes IL was "[run] into the gutter" by Rauner is a partisan to be absolutely forever ignored. Go ahead and reinvent history (many decades of ignorance by the way) IL and the Democratic Chicago party…
Sure. It's $3B for your school. Who gives a shit what names the buildings have on them. I'll never understand you whiners. $2B for new Miami campus (could have been in NYC, but well ...) $1B - split w $500M for CS Dept…
Except online poker (here in the states)! Gotta keep that one prohibited. Now, betting on every freethrow Joe BBall takes in a game ... we're morally good there. It's those pesky immoral cards we have a problem with!
So many weird assumptions about men. Contrary to popular belief, we aren't all rapists or friends of rapists. And oh, by the way, some women do pretty awful stuff like this too.
Yeah, that's how this stuff should work. Accusations published then publicly crucify the "guilty". Who cares if any of this is accurate, right?
Doordash - ie "the wealthy" - spent to prevent Mamdani from getting elected. They failed. What on earth are you complaining about again?
Ok, I'll bite. How are the "wealthier ... stealing [our] money"? We don't have to use doordash or claude code or aws or amazon or anything else. We get to choose. When it comes to paying for government, however, I don't…
That'd be a strawman. What makes you think the poster you responded to agrees with the Iran war expense? He simply commented on how difficult it is to cut anything from the Federal budget. He's right. Remember when all…
Yeah ... and exactly how many of our treasury auctions have failed? Zero. Overbid by foreign parties, all of them.
Like a good little partisan: we ignore the bad about the good guys and emphasize the bad about the bad guys ... that way we win!
The calculus for the US is different than that for Canada. Most Canadiens have a very inflated view of themselves and their nation, but any honest view into this relationship shows clearly: Canada has a lot to lose; the…
Clearly not an American. Bernie has literally zero chance in a nationwide election. Read it again: ZERO.
Creativity, innovation, freedom? 10 guys in a room can't compete for long against hundreds of millions or billions pursuing their own separate interests. Sure, they can steal, but they can't create to the same degree if…
I'm afraid you're mistaking our lunatic leader with "us". Understandable, but this step will be wholly unnecessary as soon as December when his power will be checked (largely). I lean right, more libertarian small…
