Would you be willing to make a wager about that? Or is this the usual hyperbolic nonsense?

I’m sad to see you have decided to abandon moderation of any sort and revel in simplistic sophistry. Democrats shutting down the government would not be popular AND be actively counterproductive. But apparently you prefer a three week Shut Down as a gift to Elon and Trump.

So the downside is that possibly some illegal immigrants who haven’t broken the law (or which is difficult to prove that they have) could be deported? When the majority of Americans want ALL illegal immigrants deported? Wow what cowardly tragic actions by politicians to do popular things!

Apparently voting in favor of detaining illegally immigrants who are charged with a crime is cowardly TIL. I would have suspected the opposite.

So Bill Clinton using his influence to make sure she won’t the Dem primary in NY (only real contest) wasn’t an abuse of power? Seems pretty similar to me, Tumps daughter will still have to run, an Florida might still be more purple then NY was

Can we be critical of the institutions when they are failing though? Because democrats who are the “system” have to own all the flaws and as someone who has lived in a blue state all my life there are flaws!

Jessie makes a certain type of person truly deranged and it’s equal parts funny and concerning

I mean it’s a pretty big indictment that it takes so long to go from “we should build this” to not even breaking ground on it yet

I of course do this all the time to randos on the street. But most won’t proclaim their hatred of butter AND jam on toast, the heathens.

Rent control is just bad, it pretends like the housing market isn’t like any other market. It’s completely obvious that restricting prices will scare away new production

Yes actually

He’s not a bigot, and his work is important. I have yet to see literally any critic engage in good faith, just half truths and lies in order to discredit someone who writes from a perspective that doesn’t conform to the left trans orthodoxy.

I mean you could just lean into it with some Palestine memes here and there. But yeah it sucks what they are doing but part of why I enjoy your stuff is their rage doesn’t usually define you.

Does the law work the same way for drinking? If a cop claims you reek of alcohol can they search your car for opened containers?

Can we get some with more than 3 bedrooms though? The lack of 4+ bedrooms makes big families prohibitive

Is it better to simply ignore it? At a certain point it seems like you revel in it like some version of Palatine

My status as a minority had nothing to do with deporting illegal immigrants. This is literally the text of the proposed bill:

Trying to tie that to the fugitive slave law is insane.
comment in response to

All this bill does is set up a tip line that if it leads to an arrest of an undocumented person promises a reward. This isn’t insane, it’s how lots of other crime works.

I’m not a conservative but I’m equally opposed to the rot from the left as I am to the Facists on the right. Sorry if that makes you check out 🤷🏼♂️

I mean I think Communism gets a free pass for some reason when Facism doesn’t, each ideology is evil and leads to horrible outcomes wherever it is practiced.

But “humans aren’t different” “only the dollar amount is” by your logic we should just get rid of people

There certainly is more than one compelling interest at work here, but “let’s let murderers go free if someone didn’t do their paperwork correctly” seems bad too 🤷🏼♂️

Hey “people” have been bad in the past maybe there should be no people? 🤯

I mean I’m specifically thinking about communists and their sympathizers but it extends to more people than that. There is a whole bundle of bad beliefs that lead to Very Bad outcomes.
