Okay, but did BIDEN make that mistake? Because if so that's clearly headline material.

* Immigrants who actually work for Americans, contributing to society, AND pay more in taxes than Trump.

Same — Canucks fan holding my nose and cheering for Edmonton on behalf of Canada. (I'm a dual citizen.)

So, our military can be privately rented for show?!

The real question is why don't pregnant people have legal personhood?

So, building beds for the national guard with nothing to do?

I didn't say we are like North Korea now. I said that's how the authoritarian power creep ends up.
comment in response to
post
Authoritarians NEED violence, or at least the claim of it, to provide a flimsy excuse for ever increasing tightening of restrictions until it's too late and you live in a North Korea type state.

"No suitable takers" has never stopped them before.
Have they tried circus school graduates? 🤡 🎓

But whatever. Sometimes, as we all know, facts don't matter to feelings. I'm not trying to fight with anyone, so I'll just sincerely wish you a nice day.

NHL teams often spent years developing those players, whereas the PWHL started off with fully mature, experienced players like Knight.
And I said she might not have re-signed, that's not assuming anything. Just facts. Assuming she absolutely would have, though...
comment in response to

Except she did.
As I understand it, the expansion teams only had the right to negotiate with players exclusively, including players whose rights a team owned (which would normally allow them first go at re-signing them.) The players still got to decide to say yes. It's not indentured servitude.

You are entitled to your feelings. And I really do understand them, having seen my favorite players traded away or lost in an expansion draft in the NHL. It sucks! 👎
But, Knight choose to go (and may have anyway), as is her right.
And who knows, maybe Boston will be better with new leadership.

And making constitutionally protected rights a "crime" if what you say or do displeases him and/or it helps him politically.

But the rules didn't force anything. Your team didn't protect her and Seattle didn't take her, she choose to go. She signed a new contract because she wasn't still under contract (which are short and limited in the PWHL.)
There was never any guarantee she was going to re-sign with Boson anyway.

Nice to see a well thought out take.
Too many seem to think the expansion teams should be built entirely from newbies and leftovers, forgetting that the original 6 weren't built out of nothing. They got to pick from the best players in the world, many with national and/or pro experience.
comment in response to

I really do understand why fans are sad, or even mad, to see their favorite players go. I *honestly* do. But that is the nature of sports. And likely that will be even more true in the PWHL where so many players are only on 1-year contracts.
So, we gotta learn to love the team and go for the ride.
comment in response to
post
Second, people complaining about the expansion teams getting to "cherry pick" players seem to forget the original 6 did too. They didn't spend years developing those players, they got to pick from the best in the world, both experienced and new.
comment in response to
post
First, not all "original fans" got a team in the original 6, or even now. Many of us live elsewhere but were still here from day 1. So, it's ignorant and arrogant to do the whole "us original fans" thing as if fans who live in the original 6 cities are all there are or all that matter.

The American military, out of all in the world, is never in doubt and needs no showcasing.
His little parade isn't for the world. It's a threat against the people in the USA.

Except that's not reality for most (who wouldn't save, wouldn't know how to invest, would lose savings to market downturns or medical debt, etc.), thus the very need for social security.
And what we think should have been is irrelevant. What is is. And we need to proceed from reality, not wishes.

Yes, and I don't understand why you would be against a social safety net.
Or, why you don't see that SS# have become a major form of ID.

You forgot being a big tough man who uses flash grenades at a 5 year old's birthday party because they say they think it's a "gang meeting."
The snotty nose gang, I assume. Very dangerous.

Right. And what creates your unique identity with the government? Your SS#.

Eww.

Also, even if they took less money, records would still exist. Every government keeps track of its residents. They have to to provide services.
Unless you want a free for all country without citizenship/status, any means for identity authentication, or government services.
comment in response to

You're talking about what you want for the future. (And ignoring the past. Social security was started for a good reason.)
This is about now. The records exist and need to be kept confidential as they contain everything to steal someone's identity.

When it comes to things like social security information, which spans a lifetime, privacy isn't the problem. Losing it is.
And what alternative are you suggesting? Making everyone's social security numbers and the amount paid in and out public? For what legitimate purpose?

So, they COULD bring him back after all...but only after they had time to Trump up charges against him.
(Capitalization very deliberate.)

THEN WHAT ARE THEY FOR?! It's clearly not protecting people's rights or upholding the Constitution.

I want details, Musk. What EXACTLY did you do to help Trump win that makes you so certain he would have lost without you? Was it just money? He might have gotten that from someone else. So what unique guarantee of success did you offer?
Whatever, it means YOU are responsible for everything he does.

Where have you been, Brian??? And why were you okay with Trump doing exactly that OR WORSE to many others before?
