They're concentration camps because people are being sent there simply for being brown with no due process.

On this 4th of July, truly we are reestablishing what made America great.

At the end of the day, Elon is a fucking beggar. His companies like SpaceX and Tesla rely so much on government subsidies, yet all they've cooked up is mediocrity and failure. The fact that his companies can't fly on their own yet they have so much in terms of mistakes and mishaps goes to show that Elon is all talk, no brains. He's a fake gamer, a fake businessman, and a terrible CEO, to the point where he has to rely on federal hand-outs to stay afloat.

2025 by the numbers.

SpaceX is the US space program at this point. If not for them we would still by paying Russia's Roscosmos for rides to space. SpaceX Starlink has dragged internet to every corner of the globe. This is what non-Starlink portable satellite terminals look like btw:

And you have to buy sat time in blocks of 8 hours or pay 5 figure fee's for monthly sat time. Starlink has consoomer plans that are under 100 bux for the whole month unlimited. And its just a pizza box you toss outside and don't really have to aim. Their technoligy is so far ahead of the compition its not even funny. Those government contracts let SpaceX burn cash for years to drive this inovation.

Tesla's are gay and I think EV's are a meme but Tesla did mainstream them and built out a ntational charing network that allowed it all to happen. Before Tesla if you where gay enough to be one of the few hundrad people to own a EV your only real charging options was your house.

SAAR I suggest you cope more. India will never be a superpower.

I think once the left realize that they can negotiate with MAGA, they would exploit it, and suddenly we are back to where we 20 years ago, with the Dems taking miles when given inches and the republicans letting them do it in some misguided virtue of "always taking the high road" (and bribes).

And do you really think the Modern Democrats can put down their ego and seethe enough to actually negotiate?

Take for example the guy you're replying to Lord Imperator.

He'll jizz his pants as Republicans lose their health care and starve.

They can barely put on a front, much less cooperate.
Give a week and they'll find some new thing to drive more people away.

Every other week there is some mask slip from them.

A general consensus I see is that illegals come from shitty situations and the normal immigration process takes far too long for them. Deportation would just place them back in said shitty situations, a hard sell if you're empathetic to them, so it should be the job of the more fortunate (us) to lift them up. The 'ideal' world in this case would be to make it much easier to legally immigrate here.

This reminds me of the copypasta Catholic dioceses in blue areas use every election cycle to encourage the faithful to look the other way at people entering the county illegally: The migrants only want a better life and depriving them of that by enforcing immigration laws is some sort of affront to their dignity - notwithstanding, "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's," or the simple solution of entering a country in a legal manner.

I will agree the immigration process has plenty of red tape; I've seen a small part of it in my past professional dealings. The Trump Administration should streamline the immigration process as part of its desire for more efficient government and to make it clear they support and encourage foreign citizens entering the country legally.

I'm beginning to think George Soros was carrying the entire American Left-wing on his back. It doesn't matter how much money you throw into something, if you don't spend it wisely or organise that shit properly, you may as well have done nothing.

I'm convinced Soros is happy as long as he sows division and chaos amongst the citizens and he's willing to spend every last cent of his to do that even if the current batch of protests aren't as effective for now.

If nothing else, this bill has highlighted just how few people understand the difference between Medicare and Medicaid and treat them as the exact same service.

I think some of the confusion comes from senior citizens who have so little income they have Medicare and they qualify for Medicaid as well, so people erroneously believe they are one and the same.

Even with these restrictions getting Medicaid seems ridiculously easy to get.

Part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA/Obamacare) allowed states to expand eligibility to people making as much as 133% of the Federal Poverty Line. In states that chose to do this to get more low-income people covered, their Medicaid rolls increased significantly. I'm not sure if the bill has anything addressing this expansion or if it simply requires those deemed able to do so to put in 80 hours a month towards self-betterment (job, volunteer work, education, etc) to stay eligible.

That used to be NASA's job. They were far more competent and lost way less spacecraft than Space X did

Also, if Elon had his way, we'd be swimming in Indians.

Now go on Twitter and say "I don't like Islam."

This Republican party is trump party. He removed RINOS for the past 8 years and cleaned house.

BBB is the result.

If he expands his majority with his people in both houses, trump will have a triumphant latter half of his term and his successor will cement his legacy.

And then we are back to the new cycle where Dems win again here and there.

To repeat myself the last time I saw this kind of announcement: It's nice to see, but I can't help wondering why it takes a year and a half to make this change unless these companies are hoping something happens during midterms to allow them to keep the bad ingredients in their food items.

In order to execute their plan, they have to reformulate all of their products to use the new ingredients. Then they have to secure new suppliers for the new ingredients or sign new contracts with existing suppliers. Then they have to update their tooling to accommodate the change in ingredients as well as train their staff on the new process for making their products. They also have to update all of their packaging to list the new ingredients and updated nutritional facts.

All of this to say there is a lot of prep work that goes into removing the artificial dyes and the company itself is motivated to announce the change as soon as possible.

This is a meme. Getting into Canada or literally any European country the legal way has more red tape than the US. The reason it takes longer with the US is because everyone and their mother wants to come here, so the system is backed up.

People bitching about healthcare…
I haven’t been to the doctor for anything in about five years because I am fit, I have an actual job wherein I get benefits for dental and glasses, and just because you’re a fat, entitled, useless groid who eats Church’s four times a day and can’t speak recognizable English doesn’t mean I should pay one red fucking cent towards your continued existence.

How many spacecraft did Space X lose? This should be funny
