and the Democrats are too stupid and lawless to realize they’re defending the cartel.
Late since I'm catching up, but no, they are not too stupid, they know what they're doing and they're probably getting kick backs for their support.
"Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity" is a saying that needs to be reversed when it comes to Democrats.

Edit: I see some posts that expressed exactly what I said, I should have read forward a bit more before bothering with this post.

Modern stories using archetypal conventions of previous works is a testament to the cultural strength of those previous works, not the modern iteration. There is more to generating an actual cultural mythos than just imitating the past. Everything you say about star wars can be said about sonic the hedgehog, pokemon, or my little pony. Real mythos is MORE than recognizable character tropes and emotional attachment to a childhood series.
Ok, but how many elementary-school-aged boys in the 80s/early 90s didn't have their heads filled at least 50% with x-wings and lightsabers?
 
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on the ICE raids: "This is the US if the South won the Civil War"

The southern states seceded into a separate country and never had any intention of conquering the North. The US would be the exact same except with 11 less states.

The fuck is this moron even saying?
 
"We have 1500+ protest locations!!!!" I checked where these protests are and most of them are in tiny towns in the middle of nowhere. There's one in a town in Maine called Cherryfield with a population of ~1,000 in the middle of nowhere. A gathering of six aging hippies outside of the local general store isn't a real protest.
 
Anyone have that 4chan meme where it's a kid in school and in the first panel the karen teacher is teaching him about how he's evil repeatedly, and then the next panel is the kid is saying "I am evil" with a helmet on similar to this?

I feel like it fits well to this situation. We're being told we're evil for supporting these deportations and such. And now I think the general reaction of the population is just saying fuck it, I guess "I am evil" then.

Are you really saying that Shia Muslims don't qualify suicidal actions as worth it? They are death cultists who believe they will get 72 virgins in heaven. You can't let people who don't value life and are aggressive have a nuclear weapon
Sure, some Muslims. But a nation committing suicide to “own the Jews” is not only such a vain prospect on both sides, but also completely insane.

An entire nation dying to remove one spot of Hebrew and radiating holy land would cause such insane fallout that every single Muslim on earth would be considered a threat and treated as such. A nuclear strike done suddenly without proper cause would doom Islam on earth forever and the Iranian people would be officially gone in just a short moment.

And it’s not like Iran can just hand off a nuke to a third party for them to strike. Everyone, anyone, knows any nuclear strike on Israel would be 10000% Iran and treated as such. They have a responsibility if created to secure them.

Even NK, more insane than Iran, has nukes. They still have not blown up SK or Japan. They effectively cannot use them except in diplomacy and even then, it’s a terrible bluff. Let Iran waste its money, imo.
The fuck is this moron even saying?
I think he is saying he’s the south atm and the fact that the feds want his slaves gone is very upsetting.
 
Maybe just let California leave? They can then fund all their welfare immigrants themselves.
TBH, Im down for that. That's what people have been saying for years anyways. Let them find out how expensive it really is to house and give free shit to illegals when they don't have the rest of the US to financially support them.
 
God, you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing.
President MatPat.

Alright, guys, buckle up, because today on *Game Theory*, we’re diving into a controversial topic: what’s the *best* method of deportation for keeping a fair and functional society? Now, before we get into the theory, let’s lay down some basic assumptions—deportation needs to be efficient, humane, and prevent future complications. If you look at the game mechanics of border enforcement, the optimal strategy is to balance speed and resource allocation. Let’s start with the "airlock" method—akin to a vacuum chamber in *Star Wars*—where deportees are sent back in a streamlined fashion with minimal friction. A more *efficient* version of this is a multi-tiered approach: first, a strict vetting process that identifies high-priority cases, then a rapid transport system that involves drones or automated pods to *decentralize* the process. If we’re talking long-term, however, the best method doesn’t just focus on deportation—it involves ensuring border control has a self-sustaining ecosystem where tech, enforcement, and diplomacy play on the same team. That’s the real trick—deportation isn't just about sending people out of the game, it’s about resetting the playfield to create a balanced system. But hey, that’s just a theory... a *GAME THEORY!*


Thanks ChatGPT.
 
It's funny that folks don't understand some folks have been shitposting and fucking around online since long LONG before they were born. aim/yim/irc and hell, some newsgroups back in the late 90s were a blast. Internet forums like this have been around since 2000 if not before.
I was on alt.tasteless back in the day. Like tears in the rain... Grogan tears, not eye tears. You had to have been there.

We've moved on from "he's another hitler" to "He's a Stephen Douglas" which is a new level of hyperbole that needs to be studied.

"If the confederates won we'd have a 50 state union and the president who presides over Georgia and Virginia would be from New York."
