POG Politics Thread Version 3
Come on in! Since Dustin is taking his ball and going home, it's time to start a new politics thread.
Mars is a scam btw. No one is going to Mars.
The message is we don't need this planet, we can just jump to another one.
But it's a lifeless airless desert with a surface temperature a hundred degrees below zero. It ain't happening. The only thing going to Mars are probes and mining equipment.
don't forget the workers - it will be the adventure of a lifetime on the new frontier!
Broadening Definitions: It broadens the definition of "crime of domestic violence" for immigration law purposes, potentially encompassing a wider range of offenses than currently recognized.
Critics, however, argue that the bill is politically motivated, potentially duplicative of existing laws, and could have unintended consequences, especially for survivors of domestic violence who might be involved in legal proceedings due to their situation.
mom would rather dad hit her a few times than raise her kids alone, so now she doesn't report it
How much thought do the deportationists give to the kids left behind?
Is it just "too bad" because their parents can't afford immigration counsel? This is the logic used by courts regularly to lock up dads for drug addiction (and it does not look like that's going very well for us).
into the head of the golem its makers carved the word,
TRUTH
and when the name of God was breathed into its ear
it ravaged the towns until its makers pleaded for its peace
The concern is not whether Trump will be popular in 2026; the concern is whether it will matter.
lol, husband of the senator.

You're forgetting... immigrant woman stands up to abusive spouse, deported because spouse claims retaliatory violence.
No sense in appealing to Mark's humanity...he doesn't have any for anyone but his own.
"spirit animal" isn't really an ok term to use
people don't understand what spirit animal means, and misuse the term. and expose that they don't know any natives, and/or don't care what natives think

The term "spirit animal" is used in works that appropriate Indigenous American culture, as demonstrated by Michael A. Sheyashe in Native Americans in Comic Books: A Critical Study (2013). However, the term itself does not originate from Indigenous American culture. It is an invention of a Scottish anthropologist who has been criticized from using Judeo-Christian vocabulary to describe the practices of Oceanian Indigenous Peoples.
Goddamned Scotsmen, always adding effing words to the English language.
Vice President Trump better reign it in or President Musk is gonna be angy
Dudes a hero. Meanwhile Biden gives Soros an award.
he won't seem so heroic after the tunnels he's digging under Vegas collapse the city
He has wanted to be a hero since he called the guy who rescued those Thai children from the cave a pedophile because he saved the kids before Elon could ship out his idiotic steampunk submarine.
So now he can rush in with his bullshit space junk low-orbit satellites and save the day. Or, maybe not if he doesn't feel like it! How interesting!
I want to register that bombing HOSPITALS is now completely normalized.
hospitals, neighborhoods, schools
there'll be no shelter here
the frontline is everywhere
