Social media vetting? Sounds like censorship to me…

That’s one million young people each year who won’t be attracted and blighted by what has become a fraud of a nation, and look elsewhere to develop themselves, for instance Europe. :wink:

Lots of people hated this for what it said about America in the present. The more objectional bit is its protoMAGA sentiment calling back to the good old days of the 50s-60s.

Whenever a country starts looking back towards so-called ā€˜better times’ in the past, it’s a sure sign that it is declining. The same could be said from individuals too btw.

Yes. Aker Scholarship was concerned that this particular student could get in trouble regarding his visa (there are very many Norwegian students studying in the US). But they have evacuated one particular student, yes. He/she is anonymous of course and there are no real details.
They were concerned that the student could end up in internment . But it’s better you read an article than I write about it :slight_smile:

I am guessing that he/she may have dual citizenship and/or have been politically active (probably regarding Gaza), but that is pure speculation.

To be fair, that was kind of the premise of the show - we were in a decline and part of that was what a sham corporate news had become so they were going to save society by doing a better job of delivering the news to people.

Yet again, this exact scenario was not only predictable, but predicted. By people on here. Pointing to the fact they already did this in their first term - unable to get anywhere close to meeting absurd targets they set themselves diverted resources to simply deporting anyone they could get their hands on, even diverting resources away from actual criminal cases.

And to those people who credulously disagreed saying :they are only interest in violent criminals" I say ā€œgo fuck yourself you bootlick prickā€

This is just so insulting. It’s like they are in a competition to justify a policy with the most brazenly untrue argument.

Is Rubio setting himself up to revoke his own birthright citizenship? Or does it not count when you punish the speech the government disagrees with?

Might be why the Norwegian student was evacuated. But I don’t know.
