I’m less disheartened to discover a certain percentage of the country is either this stupid or this selfish as I am to discover just how feckless the checks and balances of the opposition party and the media in general are at calling any of this out for what it is.

Oh try to wrap your mind around the logic of the convo thread I just had with two MAGA dipshits who think this is some 4D Chess:

MAGA dipshit #1 from Louisiana: Yup, let’s see how these cities implode from the influx of undocumented workers.
Me: You realize donor states like CA and NY help prop up the failing economies…

The thing that scares me about all of this is that they actively tried to create a crisis to push through their policy agenda.

Giannis and the Bucks have yet to make it to the 2nd round in his career. That obviously is likely to change in the next few weeks, but probably best to slow the roll on crowning them as favorites until they at least get out of the East.

As a Mavs fan, I was never upset that they let Nash go, because as good as he was on offense, he basically gave up the equivalent to his counterpart on a nightly basis, and that didn’t change in PHX. FWIW, a season after Nash left, the Mavs finally got past the Spurs in the West, and I remember Devin Harris making…

So naturally, you’d then demand to go to the Lakers, because their front office has been so much more competent the last decade. *wanking motion*

Blaming a team for failing to achieve success seems like a very results based conclusion that could equally apply to every other team besides the Warriors and Cavs the last half -decade. It’s not like NO didn’t sign players or try to get better in their off-seasons. Furthermore, if the NO front office has failed these…

The Deadspin staff, collectively, have lost a lot of credibility with this site wide take, mainly because it is absolute one-sided trash that seems to ignore at least half of the people involved.

Further Down the Downward Spiral is actually the record worth fighting someone over. But to OP’s credit in including Reznor, doesn’t it give you some pause that dude is still out there at age 50 writing lyrics that 18 yr old me would approve of?

The author admits straight up at the top that she has shitty taste in music. You may have a point to make, but this blog isn’t serving as evidence to support that point. This is the same “Eh, the music from my youth hasn’t actually held up very well” realization that just about every adult human has at some point in…

Must be a whole lotta Royals fans in this thread bc no one has mentioned Bo Jackson and that seems wrong.

What organization in the world isn’t primarily concerned about its own survival and glory? There’s only so far any country, company, or person will go against their own interests.

The US intervenes, monetarily and militarily, with essentially every country on the entire planet.

With all due respect, you don’t know me and my proximity to this issue, which is closer than most.

The questions you ask are legitimate, good questions, and I concede there aren’t many straight-forward answers. Q1 & Q2 are particularly thorny, because they are often related and seemingly in conflict with each other. I seriously doubt the hardcore border supporters are anywhere near as avid about punishing American…

Of course the country should have a say in who comes into the country. I don’t think the color of a person’s skin, the God they worship, or the country they are coming from should be sole determining factors in denying them entrance, though. That seems like a pretty basic stance to take, yet courts have had to rule on…

I shared several links of multiple sources describing this problem, with quotes and positions by highly visible democratic leaders.

Hold up. Before we go any further.:
You keep conflating legitimate criticism of Trump’s repeated racism as some sort of blanket attack on people who “care about immigration”, and you’ve asserted that simply caring about immigration gets you labeled a racist by “the Dems”. You’ve provided no support for this claim, and…

Obama was hardcore on immigration. Very aggressive. He was fighting hard to lock up families, and was blocked by the courts. The new crop of Democrats, per their rhetoric, is extremely soft on immigration restrictions.

Oh for fuck’s sake, man. We just went over this.
