Anyone know what he is filibustering?

I’m assuming he will just run as VP with Vance or one of his sons as President, but still functionally serve the same role.

The amount of times I have tripped on a charging cord and sent my phone flying…

Look at what humans have done with breeds of dogs. Before we even knew what genetics was, we understood that if you bred two small dogs, the offspring would be small. Then, if you bred those offspring with other small dogs, they would be even smaller still. That’s how we got from a wolf to a Chihuahua. That is how we manipulate the forces of evolution for our benefit.

There are countless little “tells” that species evolve. Human skeletons have a tiny tail. All embryonic mammals look virtually identical. Whales have vestigial pelvis bones. Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics after generations of repeated exposure. Sickle cell anemia is an evolutionary adaptation in human populations frequently exposed to Malaria. Moths have been observed becoming darker in color so their camouflage matches trees darkened by pollution.

That situation is completely irrelevant to matters of immigration today. It’s frankly highly insulting to even say such a thing. It is literally a white supremacist talking point.

The money is being pissed away by tax cheats who are stealing from the American public.

Incorrect. By law that money is owed to the government as taxes. Doge hasn’t changed that. They have only ensured they don’t have the staff to collect.

Destroying is always easier than building.

You know that the first immigration law in the US was called?

The Asian Exclusion Act.

Immigration control was and always has been about maintaining white racial supremacy.

I think that the thing that made the protests for George Floyd and Covid policies so widespread was people were out of work. The capitalist system has done a very good job of binding us to our jobs. we need a change that will put large amounts of people on the streets with little to lose. An economic collapse might do it.

I would argue that immigration is a right, not just a privilege. If people want to be Americans, the government should not be able to stop them.

There was a theory a while back that Napoleon died from arsenic poisoning due to the damp Mediterranean climate causing the decay of a green wallpaper using an arsenic based dye. It didn’t end up being entirely true but he may have been slowly poised by environmental arsenic throughout his life. Here is an article about it.

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the Earth’s crust as metallic crystals or combined with other elements. Being a heavy metal, arsenic bioaccumulates. That is, it builds up in the body over time, so slow poisoning is possible.

Don’t forget those that want public education to fail so that they can make money off the private schools and people who want private schools so they can discriminate legally.

Go over to the conservative sub and try and talk people over to your side. See how that goes for you.

MAGA is a religion for these people. No amount of protests or good arguments are going to change their minds. They only understand fear and force. They will happily shove every protestor in the country into concentration camps or deport them regardless of citizenship. I wish you were right, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

We can argue all day how to define Democrats politically, but they are not far right by any stretch of the definition. They are at worst centrist.

There is absolutely no reason the US government shouldn’t be launching their own public satellite internet.

Look at North Korea. People get killed for smuggling in flash drives with western media into the country. We could be streaming it from uninterruptible satellites. We could be fighting the global information war on a level most other countries could only dream of.

On the domestic end, if we get Internet access to every corner of the country, it opens up remote work to every American. That could bring an incredible economic boost to impoverished rural areas.

No, they aren’t. That is objectively false. Fascism is inherently a far right philosophy.
