This person obviously has no clue about history, immigration law or basic reality, and just likes to spout unicorn shit like, “Earth belongs to all humans!” Too many people like that on our side, and we definitely won’t be winning any more elections. ;)

It really is so absurd to honor the “Don’t speak ill of the dead” philosophy. It makes no sense at all. Every damn last one of us will die, no exceptions. Many of us are assholes. This doesn’t change just because we are doing the thing that everyone ultimately does!

I could not agree more. The fact is, right now, if a conservative said to a group of liberals protesting these latest ICE raids, “Where were you when the Obama administration was doing this?” the vast majority would probably not have a good, smart, informed answer to give. I know a lot of new-activist folks who are…

I mean, they certainly were under the Obama administration, when 2.5 million were deported. It’s a term that is used, technically, by government and law enforcement.

Let’s keep recent history in mind. It is true that raids such as this are NOT new. See this 2015 article for just one example. We need to be smart and keep all of this stuff in factual context (understand WHAT is new and what is SSDD) if the resistance is going to be successful. Otherwise we will burn out from…

So agree. For some context, see this article from 2015. These kinds of raids are SSDD in a lot of ways. We resisters ARE going to start losing credibility/looking quite stupid if we do not take recent history into account:

Lol — no, the world does not belong to all humans. Every country has immigration laws. What a silly, wildly uninformed statement.

Yep — always good to stay diversified, too. All about the long haul (well, depending on how old you are, of course).

Yeah — of course, trying to time the market makes suckers out of most of us. If you’re in it for the long haul, a correction/dip is a great time to buy. I was still buying all through ‘07-’09, and I knew some suckers who got out at the bottom. Sticking to a long-term plan without panicking about short-term moves (and…

Right? There’s no winning here. It’s funny how Trump’s buffoonery makes people forget how very, very awful the people who would secede him are. Impeachment leading to Trump’s resignation would not be much of a win for this country — although, yeah, we would be spared the utterly blatant stupidity and fucked-up tweets.

Eww.

No way Trump is living to 100. I think he has, max, 10-15 years in him and he’s done. But he’ll be in a fetal position on the bed by then, just as Ronnie Reagan was.

At least Trump isn’t a Bible-thumping homophobe, right? They both have such dark sides to ‘em (Pence is just better at seeming sane), who the hell could possibly be the “good” one between them? Blech.

I work with a lot of financial advisors on B2B publications.

Ha, believe me, as a child-free-by-choice (and very happily unmarried!) woman, I feel the same exact way. But Catholic or not, there are a lot of people who agree with the pope on that sentiment. I’m just acknowledging it — none of these people have a bit of influence on me or my decisions!

He has children, she doesn’t. They got married when she was already in her 50s.

People. Society. The world. The pope: “It might be better, more comfortable, to have a dog, two cats, and the love goes to the two cats and the dog. Is this true or is this not? Have you seen it? Then, in the end, this marriage comes to old age in solitude, with the bitterness of loneliness.”

I think we are generally “born to breed,” because our biological instincts are broadly be pro-breeding (if the vast majority of us did not want to breed, our species would end, after all). So I’ll admit that, in a biological and evolutionary sense, it’s a little “weird” to NOT have that instinct. We are breeding…

Rudy seems “not all there” these days. To put it mildly. The guy is no longer sharp.

He doesn’t care about ANYTHING other than how it helps boost his power/wealth/reputation, etc. Nothing. So, no, of course he doesn’t care about the travel ban itself. The ban is just a means to an end for him.
