Honestly, the fact I have a bunch of 2nd and 3rd gen friends that identify as Mexican over American is fucking infuriating.

I'm 1st gen angl*id and I would never dream of going around claiming I'm Br*tish. Fuck you, my parent's home country is shit and I thank god every day they fled here. At least the British had accomplishments at one point that made you proud even though they're a pitiful shadow of what they once were. Mexico never was and only has a history of bloodshed and poverty. Nothing to be proud of whatsoever.
 
National Guard is armed but no bullets in chamber

The National Guardsmen on active duty in Los Angeles are carrying weapons but don’t have rounds in the chamber, and they aren’t using rubber bullets or pepper spray, according to a U.S. official.

The Rules of Force that they are operating under call for them to de-escalate any incidents as much as possible, two U.S. officials said. They also have the right to self-defense.

The Marines and the National Guard personnel receiving orders to deploy to LA will operate under similar rules of force, according to two U.S. officials. That means they're tasked with protecting federal buildings and federal personnel only; they won't patrol streets, try to engage people or detain rioters on behalf of police, the officials said.

These Marines and guard personnel aren't using rubber bullets or pepper spray either, but they will carry ammunition as part of their uniforms that can be used in the rare case of self-defense, the officials said.
I repeat, what is the God damned point? Is this Trump or Biden again?
 
Good luck getting Tony Bagga Doughnuts in NJ going to work in Apple's new Factory on the river for $3.50 + Piece rate nigga. Cause that's the only way this changes. Capitalism can't compete with Communist labor engines. Not until they fail, at least.
Steve Jobs tried to get manufacturing in California to work in the early days, but a host of issues, some quite substantial, doomed these efforts. By the year 2000, Apple had given up on domestic mass production.

Pay people livable wages and they will come to work.

CEOs and the c-suite will need to take pay cuts. Sorry, you can't buy another vacation home or a new yacht.
 
Seems like every retard wants to make this communist riot about their pet political issue. Ironically, California has "free" healthcare for all citizens, non-citizens, and people who don't work because of AHCA's Medicaid expansion so I'm not sure what they're complaining about. A lot of people complain about problems they don't understand, or complain for the sake of complaining.
Californians are mostly ignorant of what they have and don't consider themselves American, but Californian. The Feds dropping in to remind them that they are but one of 50 states has been fun.
The boys are back in town
 
Well idk bud, I think in this case a better description, a description more faithful to what actually happened, would be like “near maximum effective range,” because “point blank,” even if misused as a colloquialism (as is so much of our current era’s degenerate niggerspeak), it calls to mind images of being dangerously close

In my mind, if you say the Australian bitch was shot at “point blank range” with the non lethal foam projectiles, you’re a fucking faggot, is what I’m saying, because you’re using exaggerated rhetoric to act like this was some kind of outrage and not an upside down cunt standing directly inbetween the LAPD and a riot they’re trying to control because she was high on herself and having a blond moment while simping for agit prop
Like I said, it's an uphill battle trying to take the sting out of the phrase "point blank range". Retards probably think it's something like the range at which you could still kill someone even though your gun is loaded with blanks. But journalists will say things like this when they are technically true but give people an incorrect impression, and the only thing to do about that is try to inform people what a term actually means and how it's actually not a big deal, i.e. point blank range is the most normal range at which to shoot someone with a given weapon, and should give the expected results with things like less than lethal rounds.
 
At this point, it's very clear that a lot of people on this website are actually perfectly fine with private companies having infinite power and violating privacy laws as long as [Popular Politician] says it's fine
They’ll deny it but what you said has nothing but truth to it. But with the cuts to the CIA and FBI how would they properly handle digital autocracy? It’s something someone else had pointed out.
 
newfag here - what is the highlight system?
Posts get made, people rate them with stickers. Then the "highlight system" chooses "the best" posts as a highlight you can jump to using the double-arrow buttons at the top or bottom of the page. The system doesn't always pick good highlights though, so sometimes you just see the highlights of a slapfight that got a lot of stickers lol
