Last time I went to a flower shop it was to buy a flower crown for my little cousin who I was taking to the Renaissance festival. She was a fairy knight or something. Had a pink and purple shield and everything.
My mother likes flowers. I get her some every now and again. The weirder, the better. She likes coxcombs.

I don't know a damn thing about flowers. When I learn anything about a plant that can't be eaten, exploited in some other way, or isn't dangerous to me, my brain immediately flags it for deletion. It's a very specific learning disability.
 
Ultimately the ICE raids as they are aren't really removing a lot of illegals. But the rhetoric and imagery trump is putting forth harsh and punishing. I am guessing and hoping he has other plans to genuinely accelerate this process but for now scaring them into self deporting seems to be the way to go.
Self-deporting is going to be the major win as far as the numbers game. When the cat is away the mice will play and Mr. Tomcat is back in town. They know it will be a LOT harder to get away with the bullshit they did and orgs are going to have a lot more scrutiny. I think people really underestimate just how much damage was done by letting things slide and just how much is going to be fixed by simply not doing that.
 
I remember Vance saying lets start with deporting a million people the first year, we just need to get up to 2,800 a day to make that work. That and just completely stopping immigration like we're doing, and cutting away at giving these faggots money, will help.

Start keeping a tally on things like insurance claims and used car prices, they're going to be bellweathers.
 
I have no idea why anyone revers Jimmy Carter. As a philanthropist, he's far outdone by Herbert Hoover and as a president, he's one of the worst.

The vast majority of people on the Internet with that kind of take were born after Carter was out of office and have no memory of his presidency or the conditions of the country at that time. They grew up in the 90s and 00s, far removed from the Carter presidency and during a time of general prosperity for the country. The only thing they knew about Carter was that he was president a long time ago and now he goes around building houses for poor people. That was the entire basis for their opinion.
 
I do wonder if at least some of the president of cocaine's schizophrenic reasoning is an attempt to avoid leaving the migrants as stateless, because the obvious sane grounds to refuse on is to simply you claim that you have never seen these people before in your life. The problem with doing that though is that the European nerd countries find it quite upsetting, something about citizenship being the basis of international law, and when your entire economy is geared around selling luxury goods to rich countries you fundamentally can't afford to piss all of them off.

Why even give somebody something that could wither away over time? Give a lady something she could use or last. Nourishment, heartfelt creations, money, maybe even a memory.
 
I don't even want to imagine what it was like having Obama as your childhood president.
I don't remember that much of the bush administration outside of jokes of him from family guy. I remember Obama being president around my middle and highschool years. All I saw was rose tinted views on him. I'm not exception cause I was one of the people and kids who thought him being the first black president means racism and societal ill would dissappear. I think after graduating in 2016 did I realize how full of shit he was. I remember not knowing who the hell Trump was till he ran for president cause everyone around me talked about him like he was some kinda monster.

Question is how long does it work before they realize ICE is underfunded and slow, currently.
We have at least a month or two of freshly energised ICE agents carrying out their orders with a religious fervour while working for peanuts, as they have been waiting for this moment for four years. That'll help a bit.

As it is, we should expect 5-10 illegals to self deport for every illegal forcefully deported.
 
Also I thought humanity started in Africa and we're all originally from there as a species? (according to the soyence) If that's true then why isn't the entire continent a Greater Wakanda?
That's a pretty easy one. Genetic bottlenecks emerged outside of Africa and culled the genepool of less viable genes for the varying environments. Europeans are large and smart to survive winters, the Chinese have to be smart enough to survive an insane bureaucracy that seemingly exists for the sole purpose of culling the population, and jeets lost brain function to be able to sustain themselves on a diet of cow shit. I presume aborigines are some sort of human-koala hybrid.

Even Africans have their own selection processes, Somalians act like and look like insects. Conversely, you get some highland Kenyans and Ethiopians who make the world's best long distance runners. Africa just apparently lacked any social and ecological niche that favored high intellect over physical advantages.
 
They have to deal with these NGO’s and religious organizations supporting this. What’s infuriating is all these “humanitarian” agencies - and yes I’m including churches - that are inviting them into small towns and making sure they get all the gibs the natives could never dream of. This is a massive industry and if it isn’t dealt with this will never end.
There was a point several years ago when I was inquiring into Roman Catholicism. I went to one of the big Newman centers and dropped by for a mass. The priest was giving a homily about how we need to give a ton of money to Africans or something, and there were fliers in the hall about accepting refugees.

I asked the front desk if there were any RCIA (Roman Catholic Initiation for Adults—basically catechism classes for people wanting to become Catholic) forms, and they had none. Apparently nobody had bothered to keep them stocked.

By the time I was called back, I was living elsewhere. Eventually, I was baptized Orthodox. Not for that reason, but I never forgot it.

I would help do the needful if they let me I've got my own pick up truck and some bear traps and a bag of taco seasoning
