As based as this is, I wanted to see Commiefornia cuck themselves to death.
This is part of the problem. ‘I want to see California suffer’ doesn’t work in practice. Something like the EV mandate would have been a disaster for the country as a whole, driving up used car prices, the cost of gasoline, the cost of ICE vehicles (to make up for the loss of revenue in California), electricity increases due to California buying more power, etc.

Yeah, I think they get off on slave labor. I could probably think of two solutions that COULD work over illegal immigration.
if I get to keep what I pick? hell yeah, i'll get all the fucking corn and green beans I please for 5 dollars a hour.
 
AXIOS - White House envoy Steve Witkoff privately warned top Senate Republicans last week that Iran could unleash a mass casualty response if Israel bombs their nuclear facilities

I seriously doubt this. They will launch a ton of missiles, but purposely targeting civilian targets will alienate Irans allies they would desperately need for a long term war effort. Its a handwringing 'what-if'.

At worst case scenario there would be an estimated 15,000 - 20,000 Israelis dead. The last time Iran attacked US based there were more injuries from the explosion then actual casualties.
The risk is going to be far greater if they are allowed to proliferate nuclear warheads and threaten Arab countries which would destabilize the region beyond just Israel. This was inevitable.
The talks were a good try but its clear Iran isn't going to give up their nuclear weapons and as such, must be forcibly removed.
 
said it is more about being able to easily identify an individual
Yeah this part is basically the A.I. moratorium part of the bill. States no longer being able to resist the federal government using A.I. catalogue and track citizens. Think along the lines of a lesser version of China's social credit surveillance system, that is what people are worried about. Palantir being involved with Golden Dome is a separate but related issue. For those who are critical of Israel or Jews (left and right) this Palantir thing is doubly concerning because a company that has such close ties with Mossad and the IDF (and by extension the ADL) might potentially have access and observe most of the country. That means more deportations of pro-hamas green card and student visa holders.

California triggers my xenophobia because they made themselves so profoundly vulnerable that the risk analysis is at a point where a californiectomy seems like it might not be a bad idea.

They’re announcing “hey, we’ll stage any foreign op as long as it fucks with America”
 
REPORTER: "How imminent is an Israeli strike on Iran?
"Trump: "I don't want to say imminent, but it looks like it's something that could very well happen. Look, it's very simple, not complicated. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon."

Damn is it that easy to scam everify or is the employer lyin?
E-Verify only checks if the SSN is valid, not if it belongs to the person claiming it as their personal one. So yes, unfortunately it is that easy to scam, but its better than nothing.
Literally all hispanics:
I'm friends online with a Tejano and I constantly joke that his love of dark-skinned anime babes is his Spaniard genes asserting their dominance.
Trump ran and won 2016 on criticizing Obama's immigration policy but I'm suppose to believe Obama was somehow more tough on the border than an administration that's raiding home depots? come the fuck on.
I can't wait to see whoever is in charge of Home Depot try to explain away their losses in sales to the shareholders and investors.
There's a group of National Socialists -- yes literally -- that have been pushing the 1830 map for years. They've been intentionally moving fighting aged men and cartels into the southwest under the theory that the US is weak, won't defend it's borders, won't throw them out, so eventually they'll just take back that land and turn it into a Mexican Socialist Ethnostate. I forget the name, it's something starting with M. Razorfist did a video on them a year or two ago. They've even started pushing candidates in the southwest states and I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if they don't start pushing Judges since apparently we let FUCKING NON-AMERICANS be judges in our country for some goddamned reason.

Posted up a Wiki link about them here. They're a lot more influential than people think in the Southwest, with guys like the former Lt. Governor of CA, Cruz Bustamante, being associated with them.
(And aside from that, what the globohomo faggots who push variants of this narrative always leave out, is that labor in many cases is the smallest part of costs. The labor part on an iPhone for example, is 10-30$)
When Argentina was looking for someone to build some battleships for them in the early 1910's they went with the USA because we were the cheapest option. Not because the labor was cheap (quite the opposite) but because the steel was.
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.

Remember this and how there was sperging about "muh Israel" and then it turned out it was just an old, poorly-maintained helicopter sent into a bunch of inclement weather in the mountains because Allah would keep everyone safe? Never, ever underestimate Islamic stupidity.
The last administration was pro making peace with Iran though? John Kerry famously illegally met with Iran to negotiate, Biden took the Houthi off the list of terrorist groups, and Obama was in DC directing talks with Iran behind the curtain. The Dems had Ariane Tabatabai in a high ranking position with access to critical data when she had been shown to communicate with IRGC leaders.

the sheer amount of retardation to claim that the democrats were anti Iran is staggering. This also relies on the IAEA and UN to be somehow complicit.

So pro-Iran even Politico of all rags felt the need to run an expose on their shenanigans.

And yeah, I'm 99.99999% certain I'm late as fuck on all of that, but this thread moves way too fast for even me to keep up with.

"My father gave his life, making this country what it is. Murdered by the British with all of his men on the twenty-fifth of July, anno domini, 1814.
Do you think I'm going to help you befoul his legacy, by giving this country over to them what's had no hand in the fighting for it?
Why, because they come off a boat crawling with lice and begging you for soup?"
OH MY HECCIN SCIENCE IT'S JUST LIEK GANGZ OF NEW YORK GUISE.
Neil might be gay but that's no excuse to be gay back.
 
You'll also see this in your place at work, if you ever worked in food (especially with a lot of women) everybody has had that coworker that accuses another of doing something that really wasn't that bad, but the accused starts getting defensive.

I used to be this way and I don't really know what changed, but eventually I figured out that if you just say "hmmm? oh yes I did cut the tomatoes that way. You are correct i did do that" not even in a smug way, just factually, things go much better. Your accuser won't even know what to do, their brain never conceived a reality where that happened and they don't know what to do next.
I have a coworker who loves to blow up about things. Just part of who he is, he's an intense individual, but he easily misjudges things and assigns weird blame for little things.

"WTF why are there a ton of phones in this drawer??"

"Because I put them there since we were responsible for deploying them, they are spares."

He didn't want to get mad at me, he wanted to be mad at a situation that gave him an excuse to complain and go off the rails. My calm owning of his perceived wrong completely defused whatever anger was brewing as a result of something else going on in his life.

Everyone wants to rail against "them" until "them" is a person you wouldn't actually want to argue with or make angry because it's fruitless and just makes the work environment weird. Pretty interesting.
 
Trump says he's going to bring The Kennedy Center "back to the highest level, higher than it ever was before" at the opening for Les Mis.

I'mma be honest, if I were president and in charge of the kennedy center, i'm setting up a fund for writers to make new plays and shit. not no damn shitty hamilton, no. I want Ibsen, Shakespeare level work.
 
So this shit is also international I just discovered, which means if they have the entire globe, then that 6 million+ figure they touted as possible attendees includes the literal rest of the world.

"This is bigger than politics." = "We don't actually have a goal in mind."

Are they retarded?
Yes.
So this will be a bigger nothingburger than 50501.
I hate Nothingburger. Can we get Happenings Fried Chicken instead?

I recall seeing a tweet that talked about how some Muslim militants deal with failure and loss. They say "Allah will protect them" and in the same vein, if anything goes wrong, they point fingers and say its was just "the will of Allah" and shrug. I see the behavior in Afghanistan and poorer Muslim countries, but to your point, Islamic stupidity represents more deaths than you would think.
 
Are "our great Farmers" willing to adjust their business and operating models (adapting planting patterns, SOPs, adding additional automation, etc) in order to pay even minimum wage for the grueling manual labor they have become accustomed to paying near slave wages for?

If not, they can fuck off.
