I'm not saying this to be controversial, but I've arrived at a point where I have zero interest in humane solutions regarding the boat migrants. I've seen enough of what's going on in Calais to know this is a very serious threat to the safety of my own people, and at this scale, we are right to be calling it an invasion. As such, this is a defence issue - which overrides all humanitarian concerns. Since no government department is evidently capable of managing the issue effectively, it should be handed over to the Royal Navy to deal with. On that basis, I do not advocate wasting time with pushbacks, and we certainly have no business rescuing them. We need lightweight, high yield kamikaze drones that will explode directly above dinghies. The navy must kill them on sight. I have no problem with the border force boats going out to recover the bodies, but everyone setting foot in a dinghy should expect to die within minutes of entering British waters. I think we will see that death is a highly effective deterrent. Lethal force in defence of our borders is wholly justified - and it is time to re-establish that principle.

Yes, but the thread is about what propaganda gets to people who have no ability to recognize it. You’re the implied subject of the discussion but you don’t realize that, either.

Reading this is like getting an anvil dropped on you

It’s useful to think, practically speaking, who is actually a congressman’s or senator’s constituency. Will he personally take your phone call? Will he call you back after only one staffer screen? If neither of these are true, you’re not really his constituent, because those categories exist for others — to privately lobby, which is insanely effective. Sure, you may be technically part of an unidentifiable bucket of votes chum, but the people who can call him or set up a meeting are enormously more relevant.

The thing you have to remember about this woman and those like her is that she genuinely doesn’t know that anyone disagrees with her basic worldview. She doesn’t even see it as a worldview. It’s just the obvious truth. Of course she knows abstractly that half the country voted for Trump. But those aren’t people. Those are cartoon characters. They’re either fat slobbering rednecks in klan hoods, or mustache-twirling robber barons manipulating the rednecks for profit. Her mental models of them are less complex than her mental model of a squirrel. Anyone she might actually sit down and talk to is, of course, a person, and therefore agrees with The Obvious Truth. It is inconceivable to her that anyone capable of being a pleasant dinner party guest would not share her basic beliefs and values. She wasn’t trying to do a gotcha or extract a pledge of fealty. She was certain that Sydney Sweeney is a person, and therefore only got mixed up in the whole jeans/genes fiasco by mistake. She was trying to do Sydney a favor by giving her a chance to clarify that she is in fact a human being who agrees with the things all real people agree with.

Nearly incalculable the damage Mayorkas and Co inflicted. How many Americans were killed by these migrants? Robbed? Displaced?

Libs love stroking themselves off to the idea of using SNAP to personally give an adorable little Dickensian street urchin black boy a cookie that he'd never be able to afford on his own, but anyone who knows anything about the poor knows they are FUCKING FAT. And they're fucking fat because they get free food money that they use to buy soda and junk food, and once they get fat enough, they become public health burdens that, you guessed it, we have to pay for. We taxpayer paypigs are well within our rights to complain about this retarded system

>be monkeys >humans infect you with a list of meme viruses >no monkeypox tho

Thinking a Republican state would have projects is kind of funny, these people have no mental frame that can extend beyond LBJ’s Great Society

SNAP is one of the more "means-tested" programs. So if you're on SNAP, as 43 million+ Americans are, you are almost certainly also on: - Medicaid - EITC - LIHEAP for utilities - Some sort of ObamaPhone program And highly likely to be on: - WIC for young kids - Section 8 for housing. - or some sort of rent control. - SSI, supplemental security "insurance" - disability even though you're not really disabled - TANF, "temporary" "assistance" for "needy" "families" - a myriad of state programs for the poor that are based on qualifying for Medicaid (80M+ people). Awesome! And anyone on the above programs is almost certainly not a net payor of income taxes. Furthermore—FURTHERMORE—since most of these programs are cliff-based (no subsidy at all after a certain income level, usually 100-200% the FPL), you are highly likely to be on these programs for the rest of your life. It's a trap. It's a trap for the recipients at the expense of the middle- and upper-middle-classers.

Forget UBI, tens of millions of people in the US already have universal basic everything

I’m going to file an extreme risk protection order on Graham Platner if Question 2 passes. He’s a psychedelics user who owns guns and endorses political violence. He fits the criteria for a Red Flag under the law he supports.

For a decade my employer was in an office park that contained the alphabet soup of state entitlement offices. I saw many thousands of guys, often in luxury or modified cars, drop off their baby mamas in front of the welfare office and wait for them. We’re paying billions to sustain an illegitimacy factory.

You know what? Make him the detective anyway.

Periodic reminder that Trump could remove the Emma Lazarus curse from the Statue of Liberty with an EO.

I have great love for my Indian friends. I mean this sincerely. Incredibly talented and capable individuals who have stood up for me and who I would stand up for in return, without a second thought. This has nothing to do, for me, with Indians per se. However, Indians, as an emergent demographic wave, which has radically scaled in the last decades and constitutes overwhelming total numbers if allowed to continue, and given a variety of factors related to customs, norms, background assumptions, religion, language, etc. etc., represent an inflection point in American identity and nationhood that is forcing us to confront very starkly who we are and what our future will look like. I fall on the side of not wanting to become more Indian but rather more American (which does not preclude, but rather demands Indians presently here participate in this Americanization).

If everyone is looking outward towards the same point at infinity, everyone will face the same way. If everyone is looking inwards, everyone is facing a different direction. As soon as your culture’s god dies, everything devolves into ideal-gas maximum entropy narcissistic noise.

My kids best friends, who are a bit older than them, so around this girls age, regularly talk amongst themselves about what they would do if they were kidnapped or how they would avoid it. I live in one of the safest areas in Britain. Our girls shouldn’t have to live like this. I fucking hate the invaders with every fibre of my being. If you don’t then there is something seriously wrong with you. Total Remigration NOW.

I would like to introduce you to former President Barack Obama and his Cash for Clunkers
