SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics)
Welcome to the Official SE Politics Thread. The aim here is for high quality political discussion and debate. The concomitant aim here is for that high quality discussion and debate to NOT devolve into MAD posting, BAD posting, trolling, name-calling our community fracture.
We embark on this project hoping to encourage fair and thorough exchanges of views, and also fair and thorough advocacy for positions. We should learn a lot.
Rules
1. Posters are required to have 50 posts in SE over the last 365 days. This thread is not a proxy for the Politics forum, or an arena for goal-based issue advocacy from people we don't even know.
2. Pure devil's advocacy will not be tolerated unless it is identified by that poster as the aim of the particular post. There will be no run of the mill nitpickery for the sake of nitpickery.
3. This will be enforced loosely, but you are obligated to outline your basic position on whatever issue you're debating. We will not have loaded, gotcha-style internet-standard race to the bottom terrible posting in this thread. That does not mean you have to state every closely-held belief in every debate. You just can't hide the ball. "I'm not sure what my position is" is a completely valid position to hold.
4. Insults are out. You will not resort to that in this thread, because that will ruin this thread.
5. If you demonstrate an ongoing commitment to lowering the quality of discourse through incessant trolling or simply being really terrible, you'll be removed from this thread.
6. These are subject to significant revision as this thread develops.
There is a tradition in SE of better, fuller, funnier discussion of a really wide range of topics. Let's continue that here.
I would never tell anyone to willingly check out politics but the former top dog mason mouthmouth is on one and it is hilarious
anyway, so where does uncontrollable wildfires in january rank among the reasons why orangeman wants to conquer canada?
I’ve been wondering about the implications of the palisades fire for a while today (removing the emotional aspects from it and looking at a pure dollars and cents move)
1. The homes that burned down had a median home value of I would have to imagine at least 4 million
2. The homes that burned down almost certainly had their insurance coverage pulled within the last year
Knock on wood I’ll never have to worry about insurance on a home burning down but to the best of my understanding the insurance payout is based on what it would cost reasonably to rebuild the home, not the value of the home
To that end, do you rebuild out of pocket and sell the house? Do you just sell the land for significantly less than the home would have been worth? Removing the human element of it I wonder if this compels a lot of people living in hazard areas in Southern California or way up north to just say **** this **** and bounce
thought this was maybe a touch conspiratorial (legit have no idea, know ~nothing about the guy), but then i heard that he cheerfully turned up to receive the presidential medal of farts or whatever alongside ****ing bono and messi etc, and now i kind of believe
go ahead, murder my employees on multiple occasions, all good as long as you give me a lil prize. spook or pathetic doofus, not sure there is a 3rd option here
just an absolute ghoul of epic proportions.
apartheid clyde paying random asians to game for him so he can pretend to be good and impress the lamest ppl oat is pretty funny ngl
I’m surprised that wasn’t obvious from the jump
As soon as I heard the story of him being the top Diablo guy I’m just sitting here like that’s literally ****ing impossible. The extent this dude is going to make people love him is literally insane lol
Someone did a list on Twitter or somewhere, but it was kinda crazy. He got caught liking porn, so he made likes invisible. His ex blocked him, so he changed how blocking worked, etc. etc.
Dude is the worlds biggest pick-me.

Lol the Elon Simp in the Elf costume at the beginning. "He launches rockets, builds EVs, runs a government agency, I think he's an alien, unless he's like paying people to do them..."
Ignoring the other bullshit, does this idiot not realize how "companies" or "organizations" work? Yes, people pay others money to perform tasks. Holy ****

hell yeah, lock up all the genociders
They literally lost the election because unconditional support for genocide was the most important thing in the World.to them. Incredible.
This will be what defines Biden and Kamala's legacy. The genocide lovers who thought giving Trump power was better than not supporting a genocide.

the same people that spent 4 years whining about Trump being Hitler 2.0 and then gave awards to Ukrainian "journalists" just sat in their seats while that guy was thrown out.
