Immigration judge rules that Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported

I'm slightly acquainted with this judge IRL and I would have bet the farm she was going to rule the other way. The times they are a changin'.

I do wonder why they think trump is Hitler 2 like what exactly makes trump like funny moustache man?

Don't try.... that the same people that think karl marx is the saviour of mankind.
That gazillion migrants good and woman with penis is normal.
That children should chug puberty blockers and be owned by a mommy state.

In all account they don't make sense ...the mentally ill run the asylum.

Same shit with Che Guevara.
The people he would gladly shoot for sport, praise him.

Marx was a liar. From the inception of the manifesto. He was no coal miner. He was a nepo baby with a loving family. He would be proud of the mess he made of the world. The ends justify the means comrade.

Do they even have autism or are they just developing at a different rate to their peers? It's pretty normal for kids in my family to be ahead of their peers intellectually but very socially innocent and late to a lot of pre-teen/early teen social norms. It looks a bit like high functioning autism but it's not. There is no learning to mask, just eventually catching up on the social stuff and adapting enough to know that nobody else is as interested in mag-levs as you are this week.

Slight PL, I work with diagnosed autists and a lot of them are like how you described your family. They essentially grow out of it as they learn societal rules, albiet slower than their peers. The only reason I deal with them and not people like your family is, im betting, nobody tried to test your family for autism. We are pathologizing a non issue that most people grow out of.

The thing is China can make high quality products, but they aren't any cheaper than any other countries products. The chinaslop is incredibly low margin and is incredibly vunerable to tariffs here.

China has a serious problem because of exactly what you said. Mexico is only a little more expensive but the labor is 10 times as good. Vietnam is the same. China only works because of slave labor making things retardedly cheap and at massive scale.

Edit: also the cause of autism is most likely something fucking with the gut biome. There has been cases where people get basically poop transplants and it cures their depression or gives them depression. If I remember right some dude with autism got a transplant and it went away. The real question to ask is this. If Chris gets cured of autism like he's always wanted, does he kill himself for fucking the barbussy or does he pretend he was trolling the entire time?

Trumps old. Even if he lived another 4 years after this term, after he died the country would go to civil war 2.

Vance is a worthy successor. He's enough of a asshole yet smooth when he needs to be. In a way he is Trump's last apprentice. Vance is young enough to have a future in the country. When I saw him shoot guns with the Marines like old times, I knew that he was something special.

Part of depression is learned helplessness.

I get that. It was a random example.

 

[Dumbledore's Onlyfans]

I guess I'm literally the asshole uncle lol. I don't personally care. You either love me or you don't. It doesn't mean I will be rude around more liberal members. But I'll defend my positions if need be; I'm no doormat.

You do you, I guess. Personally, I would rather exchange a bland, insincere pleasantry with my butch gay aunt and simply not talk to her for the rest of the night than get into a yelling match with her about trans rights over the turkey and piss everyone off, not because I'm wrong, but because I made the awkward holiday celebration even worse for everyone.

And if that bitch dares to try and put me on the spot, I just say, "Oh, I don't know, I don't follow politics that much, but did anybody see that [new thing] lately, is [new thing] any good/worth the money, etc.?" and refuse to engage when I'm being baited. If they won't discuss it calmly with me over a beer in private, I'm CERTAINLY not to discuss it with them in front of the entire family. There's nothing in it for me.

Remember, folks, if you argue with a retard and win, you're a bully, and if you argue with a retard and lose, you're the retard. So there's no point in arguing with retards.

It's almost like no one has even gotten a cliffnotes of the Art of the Deal. The senate hearing of the new director even had a contradiction to what the proposal suggest. By doing this is lowballs everything and also putting in a guy who said he will do the opposite it's an attempt to speed up the appointment to start fixing Nasa.By also shifting the focus on 'science' it will allow massive cuts in the other parts go a bit less noticed.

The way that Trump is reorganizing different gov dept missions, it's possible that he's going to put Space Force in charge of some of the research that NASA used to do..

This should be required of all politicians. I wanna see Jasmine Crockett out there yellin "oh lord".

Monterrey is run by Americans basically.

We've already had 4 years of really high inflation. Is this related to the housing market? 6.1 Million Americans are in default on their mortgage.

They said its in relation to treasury bond auctions. For very short term bonds.

@Gehenna had a comment, may he rest in peace and god I wish we could get his opinion on the past week, that they had figured out a lot of Autism diagnosis is just a complete lack of social skills, yeah.

I think that a lot of people are misdiagnosed with autism when all they need is more socialization. I remember thinking I was autistic when I was a teenager and autism was a new thing in the cultural zeitgeist, but people older than me said "no, you're just an asshole." Turns out they were right. When I started exposing myself to more social situations instead of being afraid and staying inside all the time, I improved. Fear is a killer.

God is good and I have faith.

They could easily just go look and see that moving away from neurologists being the diagnosticians of ADHD and Autism lead to insane upticks in diagnosises. When any tom dick and harry can diagnose a discord (including parents and teachers just giving ONE self-report) of course there is going to be an increase especially when it leads to government gibs.

A rare, remarkable thing to see an American politician actually say "white" in a non-disparaging context, much less the word "genocide" in the same passage. Last time Trump posted about South Africa he just eluded to "certain people" being treated "very badly". I'm liking this progression.

You can argue, win, and not be a retard. You just make your positions clear. Don't cross the line, don't get hit. They learn to respect you that way.

My professor had what I can only describe as a mask off moment. Basically claiming that news needs to be controlled as a necessary part of a democracy, controlling access to news that promotes "emotional manipulation" like Fox.

I forgot to touch on this point earlier. It's a shame people are discouraged from independent thought because it ruins The Narrative(tm). Anyone looking at the media with a critical eye likely realizes that pretty much every media outlet has some sort of slant, spin, bias, etc. Sadly, the current trend is "Our bias is okay; yours isn't," when it should be, "Okay, why do they say/think this, and what's really going on here?" Small wonder many view the media in a skeptical light.

Nowadays, when you have kids with autism, parents coddle them to hell and back, making them even worse off and retarded than they would have been if you taught them the hard and practical way.

The bigger problem is parents coddling their kids - autistic or not. At one point, I knew someone with kids who absolutely coddled the oldest and refused to let that kid suffer any sort of adverse or negative experience that most experience at that age as a lesson in overcoming disappointment or as a character-building experience. It's no wonder kids can't cope as they get older and we see some of the horrible things we do today.

For parents of autistic kids, I can understand the instinct to keep them protected from harm, but smothering them so that the can't do anything for themselves causes more damage than good. Unfortunately, parents see it as too much work to learn what their kids can and can't do and teach them to have the maximum amount of independence for their situation. It also doesn't help too many parents are too ill-equipped to be parents and shouldn't be having kids in the first place.

They don't think there's anything wrong with literal domestic terrorist (violent criminal gangs) being in the country North American economic zone, and are offended that you might disagree.

Thunkful, perhaps, but myself and others I know suspect the foreign nationals being rounded up might be people sent to the US to cause trouble or sow distrust within the US while the media tries to downplay them as innocent, harmless students or members of academia merely wanting to educate themselves in America.

We going to 0%? I know Trump wants to refinance government debt by June. This maybe a two birds with one stone situation. But it would also increase inflation, unless this money went to building some new factories. Which would reduce inflation, and get around tariffs.
@WelperHelper99
I got into an argument over BLM with two family members and they didn't talk to me for years.
