How does this even happen? She's an adult woman and her dad is still illegal? How long did he plan to stay there before getting any papers at all?
That usually means that he's a criminal. The mom likely also came undocumented but because she had a clean record, they could do a petition for an alien relative. When the father cannot do it, it's usually because he has a permanent bar and is fucked. Because Trump is currently targeting criminals, it wouldn't surprise me if the dad has some drug charges or something.
 
Can we please finally get away from talking about Jan. 6th? The pardons happened. Get over it. There's no taking them back, and people are fucking sick to death about hearing about it.
I know you're sick of it but it's completely fallen off the radar here, so if you have some good seethe post it. I'd prefer journalists or politicians though, I'm starting to take the social media retardation for granted at this point.
 
The Chinese began making incendiary weapons out of gunpowder about as soon as they discovered it. A universal human instinct is to try and find ways to kill other humans with a new thing as soon as you invent it.
As much as I do love their rocket propelled little things you're just proving my point. They used gunpowder for parlor tricks like fireworks and really didn't change much. Sure they're incendiary but Europeans had already invented and forgot more devastating devices like Greek fire by then. It takes much more imagination to invent a gun
 
So there's two local/regional supermarket chains in my neck of the woods + your Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, other national chains etc.

I went to one of the local chain stores today for the first time since Trump got back into office

Half the fuckin store has price drop stickers on it, ranging from 30 cents to a dollar on the items

I was in there the week before inauguration, yeah there were not price drop stickers on half the fuckin store then

Don't tell me he isn't having an effect already

Also the people that invented it still thought of it as a magical substance for a very long time, and even after they realized it could be used to make things explode they really didn't fuck with that until the Europeans showed up, and by then it was too late.
 
They were fear mongering about Trump when he announced his run when I was a senior in highschool. I couldn't hear the end of it. I joked about voting for him and I got looked at like I was crazy
TDS in the online left was born in 2011. This is where it starts:

Spring 2011: Trump joins the movement
Three years later, Trump began pushing the issue in television interviews as he was considering whether to run for president in 2012.

“I have some real doubts,” Trump told the “Today” show. He claimed to have sent his own investigators to Hawaii, where Obama was born. "I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding."

Trump raised another falsehood in an interview with "Good Morning America," suggesting Obama was trying to conceal his religion by withholding his birth certificate. “Maybe it says he's a Muslim,” he said. Obama is Christian.

April 2011: Obama releases his long-form birth certificate​

After weeks of Trump stirring the pot, the president called a White House news conference to release his long-form birth certificate. Obama called the issue a distraction pushed by “carnival barkers,” an implicit dig at Trump.

In response, Trump bragged about forcing Obama to release the document. He said he was "very proud” of himself and the birth certificate would have to be examined to ensure it was authentic.

Obama got the last word in this chapter.

At the White House correspondents dinner, in front of high-ranking lawmakers, top journalists, powerful Washington insiders and Trump himself, Obama skewered him.

"Now he can get back to focusing on the issues that matter,” Obama said while the New York businessman sat in the audience, unsmiling. “Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?"
They got insanely mad about the birther stuff and obsessed from that point on. Here is a small example. In May of 2011 Osama bin Laden was killed. On identical online left hub #243453253 aka Metafilter.com it only took four comments (archive) to start making dumb jokes about Donald Trump's hair instead of just talking about the death of Osama bin Laden. It's 14 years later and the hair jokes have never stopped.

Donald Trump was generating heat for his later political efforts by starting a feud with Obama. Had Obama and the online left just ignored Trump instead of becoming obsessed with him, he probably never would have been President. But, here we are.

Anyway, people have been ranting and raving about Donald Trump for way longer than that. My earliest memories of Trump were from the early nineties when I was in elementary school. A kid down the street had a copy of Trump: The Game, which was a Monopoly like thing. Despite the presence of the game in the house, this kid's Dad ranted on and on and on and on about what a fucking dumbass Donald Trump is and his son echoed it. I bet if I had an audio recording of what they were saying, I could pass all of it off as something that was just said this year. It's all the same stuff.

Obama got the last word in this chapter.
Too bad that was only one chapter of a very long book.
 
Remember the Chinese invented gunpowder and for a couple hundred years all their inventive mines could think to use it for was parlor tricks.
The Chinese began making incendiary weapons out of gunpowder about as soon as they discovered it. A universal human instinct is to try and find ways to kill other humans with a new thing as soon as you invent it.
The Chinese did try to weaponize gunpowder in a few ways but strapping black powder rockets onto big ass arrows is nowhere near as effective as a cannon
For reference, the Chinese are the way they are for similar reasons to those of the Japanese. The Far East is fucking chaotic and you never know when the next disaster would hit. This resulted in extreme conformity and reliance on hierarchy for the Japanese, but especially the Chinese and their traditions.
A major difference between the Chinese and Japanese here is that when the Japs on Tanegashima island got their hands on a few firearms their first reaction was "reverse engineer this immediately" (it is only in modern times that the chinks do this as standard practice) and were able to manufacture their own in a surprisingly short amount of time. Samurai loved the fuck out of guns. Also, even during the Edo period where Japan entered into an isolationist cultural stasis they still kept up with discoveries from the European world by buying books off the Dutch and transcribing them.

The Japanese let the Dutch use one of their ports and had foreign books translated to Japanese. IIRC, after fighting so many wars with each other, they saw the gun's strategic advantages immediately.

Sure they did invent hot weapons, but they didn't really invest and innovate with it like the Euros did. The Chinese got the basics down and for their needs of dealing with rebels and steppe nomads that was enough. Meanwhile a lot of wars in Europe between are won or lost on firearm innovation so the technology flourished.
 
Congrass has summoned the mayors of prominent sanctuary cities for a spanking. I'm only going to post one summons because they're all the same.

Boston Mayor Michelle, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johns, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
