If the tech companies want to hire masses of streetsh*tters, they can hire them in India. Do NOT bring them to the US. Instead, use the H1b visas to bring Poles and Czechs and Latvians and Hungarians and Croats and Austrians and other Europeans who have been frozen out of the US immigration game.

No more effing poo people. I am sick of them.

You do understand that keeping Trump is nothing but stalling for the inevitable downfall?
What do you think will happen when Trump's gone?
That's right. Back to good ol' status quo.

I'm always astonished to see how people naively celebrate something they have no control over. History has been set in motion for decades and the West has crossed its tipping point a while ago, demographically, ideologically, spiritually. Only thing that's keeping this sinking ship afloat is its economy that's been seriously undermined with the successive crisis and poor political decisions.

Enjoy the comfort of your delusion, it's only a matter of time for reality to catch up on you.

Maybe, maybe not. If anything by now it should be clear to everyone that a significant percentage of the human population is highly susceptible to various degrees of indoctrination. The blue haired, zipper chested freak of today was created in a very short period of time and similarly given enough control over media and education the next generation can be made into fit, aesthetics focused Chads and Stacies demanding a final solution to the Jeet-question.

And beyond that, they have the votes needed to turn any of these EOs into law and even amendments, which if they’re smart they’ll do immediately

Constitutional amendments would absolutely require bipartisan support, Republicans do not have nearly the margins needed to pass one unilaterally (not that the current crop can even be counted on to act in a unified manner).

I never really felt anything was forced on me. Is there a NASA pencil pusher behind you with a gun enforcing it? People use the word "force" far too liberally for my taste.

But shitposty answer aside, I would like to ask for some examples of that, if you don't mind? I was pretty much finishing up my education by then, in a different major than anything related, and so maybe it never felt forced on me because I just read it in an article or something. I am more than willing to adjust this worldview, but I request evidence of this traumatic coercion before I do so.

And why would I want an astronaut to make that decision, anyways? Its not like he's been to Pluto. The New Horizons probe has been. We learned new things, we adjusted our perceptions accordingly. I'm at a loss of where the Pluto PTSD comes from. So, the best I have is "Did your parents tell you the Tooth Fairy was real when you were a child? Do you believe it now?"

I hate to Ben Shapiro you for being a retard but I have to.

"I never really felt anything," That doesn't meant it's not really. It implies it could still be true you just really don't know but you're really leaning into that you do know. Your choice of language says otherwise.

"Why would I trust an astronaut...."
You're not trusting the satellite to make the decision dipshit. You're trusting a scientist to interpret the findings and tell you the results. You're no better trusting the astronaut.

I've already had notices of intended price hikes on goods that are factoring in a trade war - probably because the futures market has been distorted by the potential, so goods I had just lowered the price on 45 days ago are now reverting back to what they were plus another few percentage points. In an economy without spending dollars. Not good for me.

My main product that I sell that's a luxury went up 400 percent in the last year alone but no one is willing to pay more because no one has luxury dollars now. Even if Trump implements a 20 percent tariff I'm still raped. I would love to be in your position.

I don't speak for them, I'm my own person. I just find it funny that a guy I like can be misled on one issue by that stupid Musk dude.

Fuck no, I don't talk talk politics with my friends. Whenever something political comes up I just say "Yeah I don't really pay attention to that stuff"

They're great people most of the time, unless politics comes up. I value our friendship more than gloating about Trump winning.

I hope politics doesn't tear that apart. I said the same thing until one of my friends trooned out - now I've lost contact with almost every friend I made in college bc I posted edgy memes and didn't actively cheer him into an early grave. I'm not getting blood on my hands to be "nice".

Well, reading
https://anncoulter.com/2010/08/04/justice-brennans-footnote-gave-us-anchor-babies1/
another Supreme Court decision could easily overturn it, and it, birthright citizenship, might not be legally proper in the first place:

"And then, writing for the 5-4 majority in the 1982 case, Plyler v. Doe, Justice Brennan snuck in a footnote...."
"This point of view had nothing to do with the case and, therefore, constituted mere dicta, of no legal importance."

AHA. I knew there was one. I'm not crazy.

Birthright citizenship for illegals is a legal fiction, not part of the 14th.
