The Rosetta Stone for understanding the way this movement talks about immigration and immigrants is that actual legal status is irrelevant. To them, “illegal” simply means “undesirable” and they will change the rules post facto to remove your legal status overnight even if you have done everything right up to that point

This absurd trade war has sort of overshadowed the magnitude of what Treasury did last week. Buying long-term and selling short-term bonds is a form of quantitative easing, and really affects money supply. That is the role of the Federal Reserve. Leaving aside the fact that the only time that the US ever did this (as in the Fed) it was a slow-burn failure, a 4 year slide, it really gets to the foundations of who controls US money supply.
The Fed has always been somewhat more trusted than either its dual mandate or is structure as executive branch agency would suggest it should be. That is exactly the kind of norms/trust/precedent based institution that Trump has largely destroyed

One quote claims someone in the DOJ left a meeting not being sure if the person they just spoke to represented the White House or Live Nation
I can’t help but think that an anti-vaxxer stance is the red line.
An anaphylaxtic reaction to a measles vaccine is WAY more likely than winning the lottery, and even if I’m vaccinated I might still get measles??
Hang on…the risk of dying if I contract measles whilst unvaccinated is somewhere between 1,000 and 350 times greater than the risk of that TREATABLE anaphylaxtic reaction?
It’s fucking criminal these cunts are allowed to walk amongst us.

Trump asked should he do this. Even the morons in his inner circle said it was a bad and told him why. But he did it anyway. And has shown the morons to have been correct. But what a tremendous show of bravery and conviction it was. Bravo, Mr President

Not sure I like the word “ultimatum” being used here though, as one should only ever use that word if the stick is credible.
Note, there is more on this in the Ukraine War thread. Also note, this visit isn’t normal and comes after a period of Russian escalation against NATO states. The last time the CIA chief visited Moscow along with a Vatican delegation, was a couple of a few months before Russia commenced their full scale attempt of conquest of Ukraine; where the US and Vatican delegations essentially told the Russians that “we know what you are planning, don’t do it or you will regret it” (Vatican delegation spoke more about the moral evil of launching an invasion of course)

Theissen is an absurdity in the US Inteligensia. He writes nonsense like that every single week. And it is nonsense. He is supposed to be an intellectual for fuck’s sake. But he speaks like a tickheaded ignoramus with particular tunnel vision.
I don’t take him seriously and think it odd that he is still a “respected” personality.
Not that I go through his time-line every day, i don’t follow him. But sometimes I click on it and scroll down (other times I often see him retweeted), and it is just shallow feel-good BS severely lacking in actual substance.

2 years outside of high school I was living in a house with 9 other room mates so we could afford rent, in a house so run down the heating was unreliable enough that we’d sleep in sleeping bags and fully clothed to make it through the cold winter nights. This isnt a “back in my day” thing, but you’re supposed to be poor when you’re 20. You dont know shit and you havent done shit to be anything else at that point.
