I am very receptive to the arguments that the Venezuelan gang people should have gotten a day in court to make their case.

I am also extremely concerned about the judicial branch and its politicization.

And I am outright enraged over my principles being taken advantage of by bad actors so that they can do awful things that hurt me and the country.

Ultimately this whole situation has come about because the judiciary got way too involved with politics and now the level of distrust in the law as an institution is at critical levels. Trump should give the gangbangers their day in court and he was wrong not to do so, but Trump has legitimate reasons not to trust anyone in a black robe.

It is a sad state of affairs.
I've gotta disagree with you there. Every sobbing gangbanger you'll see in the coverage would have told you he knows where Jimmy Hoffa was buried if it meant he could go home. They'll say anything. If they wanted to come here, they ought to have done it by the books. This problem doesn't have a pretty solution, and it's not the baby or the bathwater that need to get thrown out, it's the entire tub. It's an extraordinary situation that requires an extraordinary use of the executive's power to begin to put on a reverse track. We simply do not have the time or the money to litigate each and every one of them, and these are the ones ICE already had the details on. The worst of them, and the priority.

More than that, the government has at this point given them several options and a generous amount of time to log in and self-report. Do it now the easy and dignified way, or face the consequences of being a criminal migrant. Being here illegally is in itself a crime.
 
If the punishment is to be thrown into a foreign prison and forgotten, I would want to make sure they are actually gang members. A person that has only committed the crime of illegal entry should not be sent to a place like that and if they get scooped up in this, that is awful.
Its has a ability to be a kafhaka like nightmare.

But I ve said it in another thread.

This lies at the feet of Venezuela, they should be running jets to save their people not using them political games. like revoking landing clearances or saying they need to be treated humanily

Same for the judges, if they werent playing games and inderstood the admins top priority is the removal of these people from the country, it drove the admin to make the deal with el salvador.

all Venezuelans should be lining up to go home or flee the US.

Also the contract for one year should be honored and those people be sent back.
 
Hopefully someone else can better explain my confusion.
now that the democrats have chased off every kind of moderate, they're the liberal white woman part now. liberal white women are only able to view men through two lenses:

- someone who must be feminized and weakened so women can maintain their status as superiors in work, relationships, politics, courts, etc

- a poor little pet dancing monkey that is misunderstood and dindu nuffin wrong

the first category are for people they view as possible equals, which is pretty much just white, straight men. by keeping the conversation away from providing these men tools and skills to support themselves and be independent from the government, liberal white women can make sure they're ensnared by societal oversight that prevents them from doing too much wrongthink. tricking them into being trannies is also acceptable since it pushes them into the category below

the second category is for every other type of man. gay, black, latino, disabled, crazy. people who are beneath them. liberal white women don't view these types of men as people. they're closer to pitbulls. women are more than happy to let these men run around and hurt each other because in their mind they're literal animals and they just need to be trained properly and then they'll fall in line, but not have power over them

every democratic suggestion to "help" men is to either feminize them or to train them to be pets
 
In reality no amount of alcohol is healthy for you.
It’s good for the world. Could you imagine a world without booze? Fat chicks would never get laid. No one would laugh at my posts. We wouldn’t be able to decompress and would genocide all niggers, troons, furries instead of laughing at them. Communists and the USSR would be a major world power instead of a dump. Police footage of 40+ year old moms getting felony charges at the airport would vanish. Everyone would just smoke weed and be even more lazy and gay.

I don’t wanna live in that world. A beer or shot in every hand, a fat chick gumming scrotum on every hard up dude.
 
Speaking of buying countries, if I was a private citizen wanted to buy the cheapest country possible for my own amusement, how much money would I need?

You forgot the third lens: a person to dump all their histrionics on.
 
His $5-$7 million net worth puts him in the top 2% at least and it's likely he has more unless you think the "anti-rich people guy" wouldn't try to conceal his wealth. It only takes $12 million to join the 1% crew. Where are your 4 orders of magnitude?

My comment was based on the assisting assertion that someone with his wealth could be considered an oligarch (or in the most charitable reading, couldn’t be opposed to oligarchs)

Top 2% is SEVEN MILLION AMERICANS. Do you not know what an oligarchy is, it’s a SMALL group. Your kids paediatrician is in there, middle management is in there, FAANG engineers are in there. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of small business owners are in there. His net worth is about what you’d expect An 85 year old, drawing a 200k salary with minimal costs and six successful books to have.

I was thinking 5 mil net worth and about 50Billion for oligarchs. Or 10^4 (four orders of magnitude).

I was too kind in my question, I think the real question is “do you know the difference between a million and a billion?”
 
Reddit is absolutely melting the fuck down over the FBI forming a unit to investigate the Tesla attacks.

Muh SS, Muh freedums.
One of the smartest things the right ever did was delay pot legalization while not ever enforcing possession among the middle and upper class.

It led to a generation of leftists who ignore laws instead of trying to change them.

Now they’re so retarded that a politically motivated act of violence being labeled as such is a surprise.

This is another thing that keeps getting overlooked, exactly. We've only reached the El Salvador Solution because Venezuela wasn't willing to play ball with their own citizens. We gave them a chance to take their people back, and they decided to try and wear the big boy pants and demand we take on the responsibility. That is not how this arrangement works. More to the point, if it's so bad that we're throwing poor dindus in supermax, then why didn't you want to take them yourselves, El Salvador, could there possibly be a reason you didn't want these specific people back? One struggles to find a reason.

The United States is not your shithole's daycare, nor should we expected to be responsible for saving each and every migrant stuck in some backwards third world hellhole; their leaders need to be held to account and improve their own citizens' standards of living before they have a place next to us in world politics. It's so utterly tiring to hear libshit judges and bleeding hearts point to us like it's our fault instead of simply asking "huh why did those migrants want to leave in the first place?". You should want for the US to pressure them into getting their shit together, as their enrichment serves to benefit everybody involved. But, no, the poor widdle dindu gangbangers and the politicians of their home countries perpetuating the conditions for their existence domestically aren't at fault whatsoever and the blame is (apparently) entirely on the US.
 
Yeah I know. That's one of my criticisms of Tucker Carlson's whole supermarket shtick in Russia where he soyfaced about how cheap Russian food is when they spend more on food as a percentage of income than Americans.
The segment was meant to show that Russia had no problem with supplies despite being under the most extensive sanctions regime in the history of the human race. It wasn't "wow, Russia #1!" it was "Look how normal all of this is, despite our best attempts to crush their economy for over two years." The fact that everyone misses the context further sends home the point.

But we can accept anyone who will be a productive and good citizen.

It’s like taking a test. If you do well, you get in and enjoy the land of freedom. Illegals are like those retarded kids who don’t show up on the day of the test, demand an extension, and then fill out only one answer out of a 100 while misspelling their own name.
