Maine State Rep Deqa Dhalac says she will always prioritize her home country of Somalia

Once again, Arnold Schwarzenegger, married a Kennedy, had political aspirations, was told the highest office he could ever hold was governor, but these somalians can just hold whatever office they want?
 
To be honest, given how Britain is right now, with its former colonies overriding it, chances are we’d still get to this point, if not worse.
it's hard to say. one could argue without the American revolution you'd never have the French revolution which is where a lot of these problems in the west originate.
 
They believe that while simultaneously believing Americans with rifles can't resist their own government.

The difference is that Americans that are ready to resist their government are just normal everyday American working routine jobs while a drug kingpin has a very recognizable mansion begging to be smart bombed.

These retards also forget that the Mexican Armed Forces does not have an air force capable of defensive or offensive operations. As such, they think that because the Mexicans are impotent the Americans must be as well.
Have the cartels ever had to fight someone that can fight back?
 
This is also kinda why I’ve always looked side eyed at union factory workers. When shit started going overseas, you’d always hear about these smug assholes with quotas they hit by lunch time and then they’d sit around for the rest of the day flipping off their bosses.. like the pride was fake and they saved it for the picket line

Idk. The teamsters president there, Sean O’Brien? He got me thinking by endorsing trump and seeming to give a fuck about the state of industry, but before that, I’ve always disliked factory unions
I work in the UAW, and unfortunately the way things are you don't have an incentive to give a shit while you work other than maintaining the hourly rate/breakneck speed quota they demand. I work every single bit of those 10 or more hours I'm in the plant, It is often back breaking metal related work for the majority of us where I am anyway. there is no time to sit down because everyone has an assigned job that must be fulfilled. The UAW doesn't really work for the people anymore as much as they act like the HR branch of x company. They will make a show of being there if your supervisor makes up some shit against you, but they won't really fight for you. I see the union reps walking the floor everyday dressed like they're hot shit while the rest of us are sweating our asses off, greasy and covered in metal shavings. This is common knowledge among UAW workers. We are apathetic yes and there's no pride anymore, but we work in dirty hot hellholes working a mile a minute for our good hard earned money building vehicles we can't afford but we don't take pride in the useless faceless Union. They don't even save jobs from being cut.

P.S It is well-known fact inside and out that half of the stupid fucking funds they get for stuff is embezzled. sometimes there will be family picnics or something but the vast majority of fundraising they do is never seen again.

I've just realised John Felted-man missed ANOTHER massive opportunity for a PR win. If he were the only democrat to stand and clap for no tax on tips, overtime, social security; if he were the only democrat to stand and clap for the cancer kid or the russian penal victim, he would immediately be seen as 'the reasonable one' and had a +15 boost to his opinion ratings. He's again completely fucking up his 2028 chances by failing again and again to be seen as any moderate, democrat-capable-of-bipartisanship potential candidate which he alluded to trying to be.
What a gigantic fucking retard.
Not going to lie, I don’t really think he had any chance in 2028 due to health concerns. But otherwise I completely agree, it was a big missed opportunity.
The Democrats, any Democrat, had a golden opportunity to stand up last night and cheer while Trump announced "no tax on overtime and tips", or the even the cop cancer kid, or anything else that was a no-brainer to cheer for.

If like Fetterman, or any other Dem, had done that, they would've shown themselves to be the lone sane Democrat that all the hordes of disenchanted and disgusted Dem voters could rally behind come the midterms, and finally vote to get some sanity back in their party.
While we denizens of this humble website affectionately consider each other to be autistic…

…are you stupid niggermonkeys seriously unable to comprehend that Fetterman is a *senator*, and not a member of the House, where the speech was given? Yesterday, some of you were thinking Breyer was still on the SCOTUS, now this? Holy shit.

I didn’t watch the broadcast in its entirety, so if Fetterman was actually there as someone else’s +1, then that’s my bad and I’ll bow my head and take my puzzle pieces/trash cans.

Fetterman did actually release something in the hopes of trying to salvage the moderate image he’s been trying to cultivate. Only time will tell if it works.

I almost feel bad for Dem leadership.

MAGA pundits and right-wing influencers are apoplectic over Nicolle Wallace’s comments about President Donald Trump making a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor an honorary Secret Service agent, calling for the MSNBC host to be fired over her “deranged” and “repulsive” remarks.

Midway through his joint address to Congress on Tuesday night, the president acknowledged DJ Daniel, who was dressed in a police uniform in the gallery alongside his father. Noting that Daniel had always dreamed of being a police officer, Trump said that the young teen was a pediatric cancer survivor who had beaten his diagnosis.

“In 2018 DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago,” Trump said to loud applause, before surprising Daniel with another announcement.

“Police departments love him. And tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service,” the president declared while Daniel’s eyes grew wide.

Following the president’s nearly two-hour speech — the longest ever before a joint session of Congress — Wallace and MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow took exception to what they felt was the president exploiting and politicizing Daniel’s cancer survival.
supporters to blast Wallace online over her “sickening” commentary while accusing her of “politicizing” a moment from a highly partisan political speech.


“This is genuinely the most repulsive comment I've heard in a very long time from anyone on television,” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk raged, adding: “MSNBC should fire Nicolle Wallace. Disgusting.”

Megyn Kelly’s executive producer Steve Krakauer labeled Wallace’s remarks the “most odious thing” he’s ever heard on cable news. “Totally broken-brained punditry,” he tweeted.

Former Georgia state representative Vernon Jones decried Wallace as a “liberal racist piece of sh*t” while also urging MSNBC to “fire her effective immediately,” while far-right provacateur Ian Miles Cheong fumed that the MSNBC star was “unhinged.” Other conservative social media personalities, meanwhile, described her as “deranged” and “depraved.”

A representative for MSNBC declined to comment.

The comments are amusing

You can always go further back if your going down that particular route, a lot of the aspects of the American Revolution took their inspiration from the Enlightenment.

SOTU speeches are given before house and senate together

I think that’s the way unions end up when the margins are gone. We just really, really fucked up with the outsourcing, and we paid these other countries to build their industry so they could undercut ours
