You’re usually pretty reasonable but then you go all leftoid edge lord and say “jack boots”… they’re doing the job the American people overwhelmingly wanted. I do like you as a poster though.
Sorry, I hadn’t, but I do now! The website always acts weird on my phone, and that thread gets so many posts that I wasn’t keeping up with it. Will respond later.
I had to look up edge lord, but I don’t need to look up what National Socialists were to know that ICE is nothing like the Gestapo.
For some examples of “Our Democracy” in Maine, Lewiston’s delegation is sponsoring legislation to end school budget referendums. Instead of a vote by citizens of the district, budgets would instead be approved by city councils.
This is due to the embarrassing and shameful way they rammed last year’s school budget through after it was voted down twice.
They literally had the city council president and superintendent shuttling “Lewiston voters” who needed translators to the polling place last year. It was OBVIOUS and ANY reasonable person would have a hard time believing the hundreds of new voters were citizens.
Today I also learned that Maine began paying the newspapers for “public relations” under this Democratic Socialist administration. We are fed pure propaganda, and we have to pay for it.
It’s a bit of hyperbole, like eggs being down 92% perhaps, but when people are not in uniforms and rolling up to people on the street, not identifying themselves properly and taking people away it certainly has hints of jack boots
Frankly… it doesn’t bother me. I did plain clothes stuff as a cop plenty of times. Criminals gotta pay. That simple.
I’d like to see a more expeditious citizenship path. I know a lot of very proud to be American immigrants that do enrich our country. It’s the non-contributing anti-American vermin that need a one-way trip outta here.
I more or less agree, id like to see it handled 5% differently in the case I posted above but by and large I think we are in agreement on that particular issue (criminals gotta go)
America definitely has issues we need to work out but having been all over the world, we’re no different than any other country in that regard, we do, however, have a hell of a lot more freedoms in many regards.
Just a head scratcher seeing so many openly anti-American types that either keep coming here or refusing to leave.
In the Philippines non-citizens cannot participate in political activism. I guess I can’t go live there, call everyone there hateful bigots, and then try to overthrow their political order to replace it with race-based Democratic policies.
Holy shit don’t get me started on Duterte! His extra judicial killings mowed through some 30,000 civilians many of whom hadn’t even done anything wrong. Journalists and political dissidents somehow continually found themselves on hit lists because they all happened to be drug dealers (hint: they had nothing to do with the drug trade).
It got so bad a known loophole to get away with murder was “plant some drugs on someone you don’t like, rock up that persons house, shoot them dead, show police the drugs” and you’d get off no questions asked
That being said as an expat with money the Phillipines would be awesome
Almost like they should have some kind of process people are due
It’s countries like that that paint such a stark picture of where the process can go when you skip certain steps that make people here wary of giving an inch on it
