I've walked through swarms of bats without a care in the world. You came within ten feet of a sleeping bat and put your family through a medical grinder. Different strokes.

Ten million illegals allowed to enter in 3.5 years, plus God knows how many "asylum" seekers is more than about "cultural".
His supporters realize he is a blowhard and adjust accordingly. Shut down a TV network? Lock her up? It's BS. I don't like it much, but for him it's a rhetorical device.
By contrast when Biden calls me garbage, I'm pretty sure he means it.
If people were compelled to take Ozempic to keep their jobs, there would be "issues".
I always wondered if there was a way to effectively "burn" one's entire wealth, creating a small deflationary event that would increase the value of existing dollars. How could one do this? Donate to the Federal Reserve? Or would you literally have to cash everything out and burn it?
Like when Ebola was discovered near the Ebola River, it got the name "Ebola", which made everyone hate and loathe residents of the area around that river. Or Marburg, Germany, which became anathema after the Marburg Virus emerged. Or the "Hong Kong Flu" which nearly killed Lyndon Johnson (and did kill many others) and whose name resulted in the longstanding economic depression in Hong Kong. Even today people avoid Spain because of the dreaded Spanish Flu. I could go on.
Israel used letter bombs for a long time to assassinate and terrorize. People didn't stop using the mail because of that, but upgraded their opsec.
Does anyone know how USPS/UPS/Fedex trucks can start and stop their engines over and over and over without running down the batteries? Do they have 400 amp/hour monsters installed and recharge them at the depot, or what?
I learned that tweets by nobodies on topics such as Hunter Biden's laptop or Russiagate or Israel's behavior in Gaza have more credibility than the entire mainstream media. I fully understand the danger of lies (more than you ever will) and that is precisely why I support free speech for ordinary people.
Umm, almost every media outlet does that.
By the way, this whole thing is like the "He" in the bible:
I believe students of composition will usually "cover" that era and intentionally write music like Bach, but it would be very strange if the teacher then said, "That's it. That's the pinnacle. Now, get working on your resumes."
I await your Subaru Outback rant.
But really, imagine how made-in-Mexico Mexicans feel about Taco Bell. It's just marketing.
I think he's referring to illegal aliens voting illegally (which does happen sometimes) or, once they become legal through whatever means, they will become reliable Democrats. Or, their children will do the same. One way or the other, replacement-Americans tend to support the left. Always have. It's proveable.
Also, these sorts of shenanigans:

Some variation of that in nearly every "Western" country. East Asian countries have similiar challenges with low birth rates, but aren't targeted for demographic replacement for totally mysterious reasons
That's not bikeshedding, but the product of these types:

...bikeshedding is when you have that all-day, all-teams meeting where marketing and design and management argue about whether to put X content in the header or footer.
Try that at a coffeeshop open mic night where they don't have a BMI license.
What is this song that he mentions but never seems to name or link to?
A return to isolationism would be best. The next 1000 years belong to China, for demographic reasons--this or that sort of "Great Game"-style meddling won't fix anything.
It didn't need to be this way, of course.
The US has had extraordinarily high mass immigration (both legal and illegal) for decades.
I wonder what it's like to live in a country full of people you hate, and want to destroy economically. It doesn't seem like a fulfilling life.
Does anyone know why wolframalpha is plotting this with cute little arrows?

just pushes it underground
Why is this an argument? So push it underground. As a rule, old folks aren't going to take their pensions to Fast Freddy's strip club backroom poker nights. People think that because a law doesn't work 100 percent, it shouldn't exist.
If it happens at the state level it will be YIYBY.
Ten years for a dual income to afford a down payment. Nuts. With ten years of savings I could buy two houses where I live, and I don't make that much. How people in CA stand it I don't know.
It's wild watching the Democratic party engage in brazen class warfare. "Did you go to work in a factory instead of going to college? Good news, you're paying for college anyway!"
Obviously, a levy on college endowments would be a better path, though still bad.
People who consistently use birth control tend to be less impulsive and more future-oriented than people who have to resort to abortion (a last-resort form of birth control). ie, the type of people who aren't your typical criminals. That would be the thinking, I suppose. For my part, I think mass incarceration is probably the main reason for crime going down.
They're really going all-in with this 2+2=5 stuff, aren't they? And not just Scotland, but all over the place. Seems pretty coordinated.

All governments are basically mafioso. Consider the existence of national security laws of every government. These are a kind of legal Omertà.
So much trash and they ban this trash because China controls it. I honestly can't think of one thing China has done to harm me. The people who control the US media, however...
The primaries are pretty well decided, so I suppose the conspiracy would be "trial run".
