exactly, it would be a catastrophe. so many industries would grind to a halt without their trained laborers, and even if you did somehow manage to backfill all those with documented workers (yeah right), the cost to do so would be insane for less skilled, less efficient workers. the inflation would make post-covid look insignificant by comparison.

I don’t think this has anything to do with covid. Trump’s entire 2016 campaign was about building a border wall, and Fox cranks up the border talk leading up to every single election cycle.

not to mention, as if any Americans actually want to do the jobs that undocumented immigrants are doing for us.

Deporting illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes, for example, would fall under that.

The actual phrasing in the poll was, “The mass deportation of undocumented immigrants”. I kind of doubt most people would think targeted deportation like for criminals would count as “mass deportation of undocumented immigrants”.

but very close to not being protected, hence the warning.

it’s easier to win elections with shitty candidates if you’re not worried about the opponent winning.

gerrymandering.

“The FBI visited my house today for free speech acts they knew were not crimes.”

Uh, calling for violence is NOT protected under the first amendment, so you can fuck right off with that.

“It is well understood that the right of free speech is not absolute at all times and under all circumstances. There are certain well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any Constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or ‘fighting’ words – those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. It has been well observed that such utterances are no essential part of any exposition of ideas, and are of such slight social value as a step to truth that any benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the social interest in order and morality.”

just having to go into an MRI tube every couple weeks without it turned on would probably rewire your brain a little bit. that’s not a comfortable place to be mentally.

the man demonstrated integrity by not giving in to pressure. if he never cared about corruption he would have just said fuck it and let all the offenders off like his peers asked him to. then yes, after all that he filed suit for retaliation, as he should have.

I wouldn’t even say it’s half finished, it’s just a fundamentally flawed game design. I too am a huge Bethesda fan but their implementation of an open “worlds” space RPG is just awful and there’s nothing that can be done to fix it without making a whole new game.

so what else was he supposed to do?

do you want all the decent cops to quit?

well if we were following the rules this wouldn’t be happening in the first place.

if only we all could retire from politics.
