Hi! Just a quick note to (potential) followers. I don't really post much. I mostly repost and comment on others' threads, so don't expect a lot of novel content from me. Otherwise, welcome!

Unless you're an expert in immigration, with direct experience with immigrants and the process, then I'd say this is a bullshit conclusion intended to make you feel good. Asking the question "could this be fraud?" or "what are the reasons?" would be entirely different. You're the bad person here.

Bothsides stenography, not journalism.

Well don't put it under a microscope, then. Duh!

In 2024 everybody was talking like we were in a recession but nobody acted like it. One year later, everybody’s acting like it but nobody’s talking like it.

Maybe we've had it backwards all along with this swearing on bibles stuff. Don't all these bible religions have forgiveness built in? Maybe swearing on a bible is just a cheat code to get automatic forgiveness for all the bad stuff!👍

We’ve created a culture where you never have to admit you’re wrong and learn from it, because there will always be a hundred strangers available on demand to tell you that you’re right.

This is silly conspiracy thinking. "Statistical analysis" isn't evidence, but only suspicion. It is used every election by losers to make sense of losing.

I think any analysis of media coverage of Trump needs to consider that media owners and journalists, right wing included, are in an abusive relationship with him. They refuse to quit him so they either stay bullied, covering him meekly, or they go all in cheer leading and seeking approval.

More evidence of the Mysterious Russian Soul. A culture to be admired and imitated. 🥴

"cottage industry"
"quite lucrative"
How very quaint and innocent, NYT. You should all be ashamed of what you're doing while the republic falls apart. After it's over, try reading bout 1933 Germany.

Mike Lee is the worst. May he reap what he sows.

You're good Kevin. No purity tests here. Not here for the cheer leading. Love the history and perspective, even if it's uncomfortable. You keep being you. Don't let the hecklers get you down. I'm so sorry about your mother, I've been there.

Don't ever forget that to Graham this is all nothing more than a game. He talks tough, but is a complete squish and will compromise himself to look cool and be with the bullies.

Enjoy every minute, Mr. Drezner. You deserve it. Thanks for being on this place, and thanks for sharing these moments of beauty.
