AOC, is that you?

"Exactly! Those Nazarians should NEVER have been allowed into Bethlehem! Joey, Maria, and "Hey-suuse" should be DEPORTED!"

So you're taking the opposite extreme that Bill is. Neither of you are really thinking about the ramifications of your rhetoric. You really wouldn't want the US to be like Egypt 2000 years ago.

"Some people getting picked up had TPS designation well over 10 years and kept being extended."

Why would they be getting picked up if they had a legal extension?

"Why didn't they pursue becoming a citizen?"

That's a moot question when they've been picking up and deterring people who are in the process of becoming citizens. If they have TPS designation, the only practical way they could become citizens is by marrying one to get permanent residence first.

"I think it is absolutely bananas that people are protesting the US government enforcing US government policy."

The scope of the protests are much wider than that, and to pretend it isn't is disingenuous.

"How would you advance the President's Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired."

So according to the OP, if you agree with even one or two things on policy, then you "back Trump"?

You know this feeds right into their TDS narrative.

"The prize itself is not transferrable, although she could offer him the medal, diploma and cash to try to placate his ego."

Hmm, hate to say I told you so...

AOC is salivating for the day she gets her hands on this much power.

refuse
noun
1. matter thrown away or rejected as worthless; rubbish
Example: heaps of refuse

So, Clinton's rubbish is going to appear for a subpoena?

"Night mouse?"

Close.

"Go save a drowning swastika."

You want to talk about swastikas? Okay, thanks for bringing that up! "Swastika" is a common name for women in India and among Indian populations abroad, as the term means "good fortune" or "well-being" in Sanskrit and is an important symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.

Notable individuals and recent news stories featuring Indian women named Swastika include:

Swastika Ghosh: An Indian professional table tennis player who is currently the India number three and has a world ranking in the top 110. She has represented U Mumba TT in the Ultimate Table Tennis league and has been recognized with the Shiv Chhatrapati Award.
Swastika Chandra: A woman from Sydney, Australia (who grew up in Fiji where the name is common) who made global headlines in 2024 after her Uber account was banned due to the app's global policy on "potentially offensive words". She refused to change her name, stating pride in her identity, and her account was eventually reinstated with an apology from Uber after intervention from the Hindu Council of Australia and the NSW Attorney-General.
Swastika Mukherjee: A prominent Indian actress who commented on the controversy surrounding the use of the name and symbol, stating her pride in her name and hoping that governments would understand the distinction between the political and personal uses of the word.
Swastika Budhathoki: A young woman who called into a local radio station in New York to discuss her name when a town called Swastika was considering a name change.

I would gladly save any of these Swastikas if they were drowning, and also defend them from bigots such as yourself.

"One news outlet Ed scooped this using two anonymous sources."

I think we exactly who the sources were for this story. One of them rhymes with "tight blouse" and the other is often confused with DHL.

Stay in your lane, Alexa. That's LMD's line.

"Transvestites???"

I thought that word was verboten. Or has come back into vogue now?

"LMAO. you giant ---."

Is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment?

If we can't even agree a giraffe costume is provocative, then nothing is.

What I want to know is where PETA when you actually need them? A poor baby giraffe was slaughtered so someone could cosplay in its skin.

Still, I'm sure some of the ICE agents probably found it oddly arousing and wanted to spend more time with the giraffe man for ... reasons.

"I was blocking traffic, along with 100 other protesters but they only arrested me."

That's what you get for wearing a giraffe costume. Sorry, but there are situations where wearing provocative clothing will inevitably attract unwanted attention.

"Over 200 comments.
You people are idiots."

I'm sure Rcade isn't complaining about it. Whether it's ReinheitGayBot, Lamplighter, Bellringer, or Boaz, they're all helping to keep the site afloat.

>"Behold, slobbering MAGAts have their new Kyle Rittenhouse."
>And progressives now have their own Ashli Babbitt.

Both of these comparisons are crap.

"She was there with intention. Just like Ashli had been at the Capitol building when she got shot."

Ashli was at the front of a violent mob that was literally breaking down the door into a highly restricted area of a government building. Renee was in a public place in her neighborhood, at worst being passive-aggressive before attempting to leave the scene.

#201, you mean the National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes?

From what I've seen, DEI or diversity training or whatever-you-want to call it consistently falls into one of three categories. One of them is the toxic crap that Bellringer is referring to, which gives the right a wedge issue because many on the left refuse to call it out for some reason. Another one is well-intentioned but comes across as extremely patronizing and places too much emphasis on "special needs". And the third one is actually what it should be, promoting the values it claims to without the hypocrisy or tone deafness.

Unfortunately, I don't believe anyone here wants to have an honest or good faith discussion about it. So, carry on.

The prize itself is not transferrable, although she could offer him the medal, diploma and cash to try to placate his ego.

"so why are they leaving out the skinny ones."

Or the short ones.

*could have

Come on, you trolls can do better than that. You have used this as an opportunity to hijack the thread to talk about vaccines and anti-vaxxers.

" Isn't it standard in civil, liberal and socialist societies, where the social compact includes an acknowledgement of our obligation as members of the community to obey lawful orders of law enforcement officers?"

This is a fair point. It's also a fair point that it's unacceptable for law enforcement to angrily engage in excessive and punitive behavior just because someone disobeyed an order and disrespected their authoritai.
