> The current law says that people who were born overseas and came over with their parents must return to their home country at age 21 if they do not apply for or are not granted permanent residency/citizenship. This amendment changes it so that they get to stay in the country as long as they've filed an application.

So it's Dreamers 2.0. Got it.

I hope so. Makes me wonder if trump will get the bush treatment when the mext republican president comes in. It'll be interesting to see the media acknowledge him being the first pro-gay president since he never went after them

It might have been a bad idea to put this much trust in a Clinton ally.

There's this thread about the hearings, if that's your question.

Yes! Thank you so much!! I’ve literally been searching for days. I didn’t think to search “hearings” or “j6”. Thanks so much!

Honor guard for Biden on Saudi arrival, no king​

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — President Joe Biden emerged from Air Force One on Friday, minutes after landing in Saudi Arabia and walked along a lavender carpet past a sword-bearing honor cordon.

The subdued arrival ceremony in the Red Sea city of Jeddah featured no formal program. The president was greeted upon arrival by Mecca’s governor, Prince Khalid bin Faisal, and Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the U.S., Princess Reema bint Bandar.

He was not met by King Salman, the 86-year-old monarch who was hospitalized twice this year and requires a cane to aid his walking, nor by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whom U.S. intelligence agencies assess ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

Biden flew to the kingdom directly from Israel, hours after Saudi Arabia opened its airspace to “all air carriers,” signaling the end of its longstanding ban on Israeli flights overflying its territory — a key step toward normalization between the two Mideast nations.

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — President Joe Biden on Friday became the first U.S. leader to fly directly from Israel to Saudi Arabia, signaling warming ties between the two Middle East nations as they find common cause against regional threats from Iran.

Air Force One landed in Jeddah ahead of planned meetings with King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto leader of the kingdom. U.S. intelligence officials have determined the crown prince, often referred to by his initials, MBS, likely ordered the 2018 killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

During his 2020 campaign for the White House, Biden had pledged to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” because of Khashoggi’s killing and other human rights abuses. He now seeks closer ties with the kingdom to bolster security in the region as Iran’s nuclear development continues unabated, and to secure additional energy supplies amid global tightening due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Biden’s visit to the Red Sea port city will include his participation in a meeting of the six Gulf Cooperation Council nations — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — as well as Egypt, Iraq and Jordan.

Earlier Friday, Saudi Arabia opened its airspace to “all air carriers,” signaling the end of its longstanding ban on Israeli flights overflying its territory — a key step toward normalization between the two Mideast nations.

WASHINGTON — The United States does not expect any announcements on a boost to Saudi Arabian oil production as President Joe Biden visits the kingdom.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters aboard Air Force One during the flight to Saudi Arabia on Friday not to “expect a particular announcement here bilaterally.”

Sullivan said that’s consistent with the administration’s expectations for the trip. “We believe any further action taken to ensure that there is sufficient energy to protect the health of the global economy will be done in the context of OPEC+,” he added.

U.S. officials have said they are hopeful that the energy producing cartel will agree to boost production in the coming weeks.

The OPEC+ agreement, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, to curb oil production was agreed upon during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns in 2020. It is set to expire next month, though quotas could remain in place through the end of the year.

Prices of Brent crude have hovered around $100 a barrel. Although Saudi Arabia is producing around 10.5 million barrels per day currently, the kingdom and the United Arab Emirates are seen as two countries with spare capacity that can pump more to help bring down prices. It’s unclear though how quickly the kingdom could ramp up production.

I hate Saudi Arabia but this trip was undeniably a huge W for Israel. Good vibes, no incidents or scolding the government about settlements and shit, said Jerusalem was the capital and signed a few agreements that would benefit the country.

Anyone else notice that the media and public health agencies are doing coordinated hype around whatever the current strain of COVID is? "It's the worst EVAR!" "It's uncontrollable!" "It's the most contagious virus we've ever seen!!"

You know, the Biden admin is slow and disjointed in all their plans... except apparently when it comes to hyping the next "election variant". What could possibly go wrong when the US is economically beat down, weary of election fuckery, and get told the the virus they're all very tired of hearing about means it's time for Election Fuckery 2: Electric Boogaloo?

"Biden will tout this as a major win for his administration."
That is until they crash dem planes straight into Jerusalem

More likely crashing the planes to Tel Aviv. One of the reasons I always saw the Iran nuke thing as bullshit is that making Jerusalem inhospitable to human life (which will happen following an attack since Israel is tiny) will make Iran the target of a Muslim world jihad. If anything Saudi Arabia is more of an immediate target for such an attack, which is why they decided to ally.

Two states for two peoples

This term is so much bullshit, Palestinians are divided over two political party between Gaza and inside Israel. While plenty of arab israelis will prefer living in Israel due to not being a Muslim shithole. So the only tagline should be "One state for one person, Three states for the other".

Could be, also I heard the Ukrainian front is on the verge of complete collapse so it could also be a distraction from that.

In a sane world Trump would be remembered as a good solid president, but this is clown world we live in. If they win and hold onto the pendulum of society for a long time, Trumps face will be alongside Hitlers and Mussolini in future history books.

A wise man once told me people will put up with anything so long as they're safe and well fed. kind of like dogs they won't bite their master unless they have a good reason to. The problem is our current round of Masters are so vile and beyond reproach that no one likes them not even dogs.

Makes you wonder what he did to that dog to make it a constant biter....and breaking his ankle while “playing with the dog”? Sounds suspicious.

A wiser man would have told you that humans very rarely rebel against their masters no matter what is being done to them.

The Cambodians murdered each other with pickaxes just because they were told to.

LOL what a fat retard. Drafting something that has no chance of getting past the senate and will possibly motivate republican voters even more for the mid-terms. Truly a master-stroke of genius.

 

[Skullwhalejelly]

Hahahaha Biden is fucked with Saudi Arabia. He's shaking hands with people, and fist bumps Mohammed Bin Salman. Biden refusing to increase drilling for "green energy" makes him have to grovel to the Saudis. The prince isn't respecting Biden at all and is gonna make Biden his bitch.

Pissing off all our relevant allies in one trip any% speedrun

At least it's not another lie.

Could be, also I heard the Ukrainian front is on the verge of complete collapse so it could also be a distraction from that.

Once a rout begins, it's real hard to turn around. At this point, the hardliners are 90% dead, and the rest are struggling to get things like radios..

I didn't say all dogs are equal in regards to intelligence and merit. Some more obedient than others While others still are wise enough to bite back when mistreatment arises

Makes you wonder what he did to that dog to make it a constant biter....and breaking his ankle while “playing with the dog”? Sounds suspicious.

I have a lab and she's a good girl .Very smart and her situational awareness is almost paranormal at times. I bring this up because she's really good at knowing when a human is bad and when human is good. Some dogs just have a way of sensing evil. As for why a dog would bite are beloved uncle joe who knows it's a mystery

 

[Syaoran Li]

I'm not sure what created clown world though

My guess would probably be the Great Recession back in 2008-2009 and its immediate aftermath in the early 2010's.

You say that after a gun control bill was just passed and the republicans are about to pass an amnesty bill. There is a good chance it will be passed.

Time to get to calling. You guys do the same. Luckily I have phone numbers in multiple states so I'm gonna be making some calls to ask senators to vote against any such bullshit. Manchin might be the best option since he's in a deep red state and has historically been more pro 2A than most other Dems. If you're in a state with Republican senators definitely call or email, it's not so much that they'll read or listen to  your message as it is that if they start getting a shitload of messages about a specific bill their staff typically will mention it to them since that's job preservation 101. Any politician worth staying in the game at least keeps somewhat aware of what their general constituency wants, which is why it's preferable to call with a local number. Manchin even has a dedicated number for WV residents to call to comment on stuff.

The White House press pool is already making a very favorable impression in Riyadh. I'm surprised the Saudis didn't just behead him right there and then.
