If Intelligent Aliens ARE out there I promise you either they KNOW that we are the first recorded species to have developed atomics for the use of weaponizing against THEMSELVES then then backworked it into energy tech, or when they find us for the first time they are going to be as horrified as they could be.
It is the height of human arrogance to anthropomorphize every conceivable alien all as the crusty hippie chick who sold homemade jewelry in college.

But self-described "enlightened, intelligent" people do it anyways, every damned time. And I always did kind of want to dick her down, to be honest. Nah. White chicks with dreads are a disaster.
 
Fun fact about MS13, you know how other gangs will have alliances based on shared financial interests and or for protection?

Due to their utterly psychotic and unpredictable violent behavior even for a street gang MS13 does not have any allies, they are marked kill on sight for virtually every other South and Central American street gang.

An MS13 gang tattoo is not something you get for funsies, if you have one you are a member with close to 100% certainty.
 
No, but seriously. Build that wall up north too. There's no point in annexing anything until the people are gone.
That makes me think of when I played that one South Park game "The Fractured But Whole". I remember an area you could access in the wilderness or something where you'd eventually reach this massively impressive wall along our northern border. There's even a shit-talking leaf sitting on it telling you to go away.

It's one of the few times South Park ever got it wrong. Oh sure, they're a country full of arrogant niggers with a superiority complex, but they're also limp-dicked do-nothings who'd never manage such an accomplishment without daddy America's help.
 
Wait, I thought that WAS added. Like he didn't literally have those letters and numbers, he had finger tattoos and there was a picture that added ms13 above to show which symbol was interpreted as each letter.
DHS, who would be considered an expert at identifying gang tattoos, released the photo with the letters above the tattoos. Trump was saying that he had MS-13 on his fingers because that’s literally what those symbols mean. The journoscum tried to pivot it as ‘disputed’ (it isn’t; nobody familiar with gang crime has actually disputed it) and then said he wasn’t ‘an expert’.

Regardless, the man himself admitted to being afraid of getting killed by a rival gang, so him being in a gang should not be in dispute at this point anyway.
 
Saw a book at the library about how there is a "battle" to prevent the "far right" from taking over small towns.
Was it this one or something similar?

And no, this isn't a joke, either. This is a serious book published by Routledge in order to "warn" parents about the right, which supposedly "preys on them [young men] for recruitment." The description of the book also describes its target audience as "parents, educators, and anyone with a young person in their lives."

You know the game they're playing is proof they're parents should have beat them as children. Simply put the media is hanging it's hope that if they focus on the wrong details nobody will actually read the article and people will genuinely believe that the guy was here legally shoved into van and sent to mega-Auschwitz. The saddest thing is I have seen people in the wild who are dumb enough to believe it.

Wasn't that book, but it looked like it's some sort of "woke" crap. Book has a mostly red cover, and part of the cover illustration was a guy wearing a MAGA cap (of course).

Sounds an awful lot like what SJWs are trying to do, especially with LGBTQ. And they have succeeded at infiltrating education and academia with that "ideology" of "woke" BS.

I saw that interview clip. What the journo was doing seemed to be trying to get in the last word real quick and move on so the headline would be "Trump thinks the letters in the picture were a real tattoo lol." From the exchange, I wasn't 100% certain whether Trump was saying that, or just the interpretation of the tattoos was clear, because he doesn't acknowledge the point about the photo; but he might not even have been thinking of that particular picture. In either case, the other guy was entirely uninterested in clarifying the point.

He was desperate to take control of that conversation. Too bad he's utterly shit at it (I think even Biden could have talked circles around this idiot) and Trump is a master of dominating conversations.

They picked him alright. Picked him to end his career on a low note fucking up an interview with the POTUS.
 
"Turn the other cheek" doesn't mean let your enemies kill you. There is no such concept in Christianity.
Exactly, turning the other cheek really means be the bigger man when someone insults you, especially for your religion, which was vital at the time when Christianity was heavily mocked and is still widely in practice today. It’s the fundamental difference between Islam and Christianity. Christians are supposed to rise above insults and minor offenses, Muslims will murder you for doodling a face.
But it was never meant to say “don’t defend yourself.” Jesus’s apostles carried swords, and Christians have never been taught to avoid self defense when facing harm or threats. It all boils down to more people having never read the Bible
