It’s literally the “logic” in Plessy

Martinelli as a sub vs a starter is a different player lol

I think for once Arteta is taking a shot in the dark, if it works it’ll really work, if not, well we have a couple changes we can make from the bench and change formation a bit.

Reopen the Golden Door Repeal The Immigration and Nationality Act: immigration restrictionism is the Slave Power of the 21st century

“When a society declares that a person’s presence in the United States is illegal per se—not based on due process, but on birthplace, then you create a class of people who are bound by the law but never protected. You create a subordinate caste that is at the mercy of both private and state power”

Again, this would be solved if supply kept up with the demand. There was a NYT article not that long about about this happening in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the workers for resorts being priced out of the area. If housing was built for them they could stay, but it’s not, so they can’t

In those markets where they have, it needs addressed. However, at the same time, nothing else has risen at that same pace. This is what I meant when I said taking one part and extrapolating it to the rest, nationwide, is a mistake 2

In specific markets, yes. Location matters. I am not saying you should move in order to afford to purchase a house. In my area, housing affordability is not as big of a problem as elsewhere. Houses have not risen 200% in value (that’s your actual increase btw not 300%) in 10 years here. 1

I think it’s a mistake to extrapolate a housing affordability crisis (real, bad, needs to be fixed by government policy) to a general affordability crisis.

That’s exactly what I’m saying, a tight housing market leads to higher housing prices because supply cannot keep up with demand

This would point to a housing shortage in your area, and that it’s desirable, not that the economy is bad

I do think that those lawyers and law professors who tried to fabricate a historical or legal case against birthright citizenship should be socially and professionally ostracized for their shocking cynicism and intellectual dishonesty as well as for their bald hostility to pluralist American values.

MAX FUCKING DOWMANNNNNNNNNNN

We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States.

In my view, that’s almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

My company is trying to push us to use AI more for writing code but I run into this exact thing every time I try. If I’m gonna spend the same amount of time or sometimes more double checking what it wrote, I might as well just write it because I have to check it anyway.

That was such an obvious flop

Not really giving him a pass but I know he basically doesn’t use social media, only instagram with any regularity and I don’t believe he personally runs it. Is that still in his likes?

He did??

Should’ve given it to Wirtz as well instead of keeping it too long

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

continue to think that if instead of "raw milk" we called it "doodoo milk" people would understand the risk proposition

Literally how? It’s directly refuting their stated purpose for the policy: immigrants don’t commit as many crimes as native populations. In fact they hardly commit any crimes at all.

You must reject tradition and embrace modernity

It’s also just a lie. It is written down

I mean what are you, personally, gonna do in either scenario? In the first, protests and revolts pop up because people are prevented from voting (extremely unlikely). In the second, it’s basically prompting a civil war. So yes, there’s a difference

Yes

It’s a different question than “how can they cancel the midterms”, which is what the original post was all about. The other stuff they’ve already done relied on a small group of people already legally in high-level positions. Post-election scenarios are an entirely different conversation

The point is if we even get to this point, there will be uprisings across the country and probably in DC. This attitude of nihilism is so annoying honestly. “Welp they’re evil, what can ya do” helps nobody except the opposition

Okay except any members who were not elected and attempt to remain will not be legitimate. Elections are certified by the states. A majority of Dem seats come from Dem states. If they blockade the House building, they can convene elsewhere. Yes, this would be catastrophic. But it would not be over

That was a special election, after the midterms there is a new congress and Johnson is no longer speaker. Everyone elected in November of 2026 has no dependence on what Mike Johnson says or does

need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.
