With immigration, you also have the belief that seeking asylum or protected status is a crime and people who enter on that basis have, to paraphrase Chief Justice Taney, no rights that the government is bound to respect.

What's old is new again. It's been close to 50 years of propaganda about "young bucks buying t-bone steaks" and the "welfare queen" from the South Side of Chicago, and now every Republican basically believes there is a large population of able-bodied brown people living high on the taxpayers' dime.

I'm sure the young men who voted for Trump will line up to do roofing work all summer. They didn't just think that they were going to get hot tradwives and sandwiches on demand, right?

The mythology to which I was referring was the retconning of how popular the civil rights movement and MLK were at the time. Even now, everyone remembers "I Have A Dream", but the parts before that in the speech would likely be called woke propaganda.

Yes, but there's a mythology that this was an overwhelming movement and only a tiny revanchist minority was opposed. The support for the people doing the beatings was broader than people prefer to remember.

So he overpaid for something and later has to sell it as a substantial loss? Sounds exactly like how he's run his "company."

"No one in Congress could even read it" is a weird take from someone who thinks that AI means no one has to read anything ever again.

Will always be wild to me that Musk seemed to think he could become toxic to the liberals who are the target market for his electric cars and make it up with increased sales to people who think electric cars make your dick fall off.

Exactly. There has never been a time in US History when a group of white people threatened national security. Look it up in a Florida or Texas high school history textbook.

They sure think so. Like they think Bob Cratchit was the real villain of "A Christmas Carol" for having the gall to ask for a paid holiday on Christmas Day.

How do you figure? I’m still thinking Alito and Thomas both resign this summer so their successors can be appointed outside of a midterm year.

Sorry you’re going through that. Hope you have a quick recovery on the other side.

“Knowingly” may be a stretch. Many things Americans think they know about government spending are wrong.

Basically the idea that the very far left and very far right are closer to each other than to the more mainstream parts of their supposed faction. Like left wingers who want fewer/no food additives and right wingers who want fewer/no vaccines.

Won't someone spare a thought for the White player who was passed over by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 because of DEI? /sarcasm

It cannot be understated just how many Desis have drunk the “model minority” Flavor-Aid and think of themselves as White.

The hire was very controversial in the company and in the industry. It was DEI of the kind that is condemned today. But in 1947, it's the story of Jackie Robinson, Branch Rickey and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Some time ago, a company executive decided to diversify his workforce. Instead of recruiting from the same institutions everyone in his industry recruited, he decided to take a look at a historically Black institution. He found a promising candidate and eventually hired him.

And that's coming from a man who did blackface and not in a Tropic Thunder meta way. Far as I know, Spamalot still gets produced.
