All those things are proven true, and if I take the time to post the sources and data you’ll deny it


The problem is I think you are exaggerating when you say things like they are bankrupting our healthcare system. Certain locations around the country are having their systems stressed but nationwide data is limited and what analysis there is that I have found does not prove what you are saying and suggest the opposite. But please share...Im open to new info and analysis

You guys are vastly underestimating the percentage of Americans who support mass deportation



Someone mentioned that segment was from Jan and it starts to break down when you get into the nitty gritty like family separation and folks that have been here working for decades. The fact is most folks havent really thought that hard about the issue and the consequences either way. As time goes on and various loony factions join the fray and the violence ratchets up IDK which way the public will go.
quote:

We really need to make an example of anyone who commits an act of violence. The consequences should be front page news. That means hard prison time.


As far the immigrants themselves acting out violently.....I mean for some the choices are deportation to S.Sudan, CECOT or wherever...... Spending time in American prison isnt a threat. Some will decide to go out with a bang.

I suspect that Trump got confused over the world "asylum" and genuinely doesn't understand that we are not talking about mental health instutions


:lol: To be fair the Biden administration played pretty fast and loose with the definition of asylum as well. Both parties have made a mess of immigration over the past 30 years and have flip flopped on the issue of migrant workers with each side taking turns being different levels of pro and anti immigration over the years. I just dont see how continuing and massively increasing ICE operations of going into these large immigrant communities and indiscriminately arresting folks is going to end in any other way than violent confrontation. At that point we will have to decide as a country whether we continue down that path or not. I prefer another way.

They all must go.


I'm go out on a limb here and say that is probably not the majority opinion in this country. Violent criminals and drug traffickers yes. Hell even Trump keeps vacillating on the issue of migrant farm workers and for some reason hotel workers. The Republican House majority leader Steve Scalise worked towards getting an Iranian women that has been here for 50 years released from ICE custody this week...much to the chagrin of Homeland Security.
quote:

“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.


Most Americans are not at this stage and for the most part will likely never reach that stage...at least not any time soon. But those living here illegally...facing unemployment, no means to provide for their family, and deportation to possibly a country not of their origin are at that stage. You can say frick'em bring it on but they and their families are far more motivated to fight than anyone else. This is going to get far more brutal.

There is a mountain of evidence showing us these leftist doctors are mentally ill and would hurt and possibly kill their patients.


What about your dentist, accountant, pharmacist, mechanic, bartender, chef at your favorite restaurant?

will only see white or Asian male right wing doctors, so I know they aren’t DEI products and not mentally ill.


So Asians and whites cant be mentally ill?

hey must think Tigerland is worse than Gaza.


In college we affectionally referred to Jennifer Jean b/t Nicholson and Burbank as the Gaza Strip. And it wasnt even that bad back then.
quote:

Me when I’m retarded.


Characterizing this report's assessment as proof of blatant politicization of intelligence that was “unprecedented in American history" according to Ratcliffe, is indeed retarded. Nowhere does it conclude that the 2016 assessment’s findings were wrong or politically skewed. The report made no recommendations for disciplinary measures or corrective action. This is hardly the bombshell that Ratcliffe alleged.
quote:

They doubled down and continued saying it wasn't partisan blah blah blah.

When the CIA Ratcliffe pdf report says differently.


Does it really though? Ratclifffe is interpreting it that way but it doesnt seem to even attempt to prove or conclude partisanship as the issue. CIA.gov link LINK

quote:

The review of the 2016 ICA revealed how
departures from established processes and
tradecraft standards can affect even
fundamentally sound analysis. While the overall
assessment was deemed defensible, the identified
procedural anomalies and tradecraft issues
highlight critical lessons for handling controversial
or politically charged topics. Adhering to
established analytic processes and rigorous
tradecraft is essential to ensure credibility,
objectivity, and accuracy—particularly when time
pressures, sensitive information, and high-level
attention create risks of compromising standard
practices

Awakenings with Robert Deniro and Robin Williams. When Leonard starts to physically shut down again and Paula and him have their date... dance and that walk to the widow to see her go... :wah:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind should be on there. Hell, when I was younger my girlfriend at the time said she wanted to watch it so we put it on. After the film she said “and this is why we should break up.” fricked up!


Damn ...that some cold shite. .....but Im sure a lot of couples had some thoughts after watching that film.

He’s cutting government funded babysitting after school? Holy shite!!!!!


He isnt cutting anything yet...but after care programs, especially good ones like Girls and Boys clubs are pro-family programs that I would think would have bi partisan support.
quote:

Good. Like most government spending, completely unnecessary.


FWIW Boys and Girls clubs do good work for poorer communities. My daughter went to a school briefly that Girls club handled the after care and I was extremely impressed with the services they provided for the cost. They provided after school snacks, help with homework, tutoring, taught them gardening, field trips all for like $70.00 a month, I dont mind my tax dollars going to services that really do help the community and Boys and Girls club is definitely one I support.

Didn't they remaster it for the 360?


Yes they did back when Xbox Live Summer games was a thing.

I'm disappointed about Perfect Dark. Seems like that's a property that should print money.


Loved the N64 game and thought Zero was ok for a 360 launch title but that was 20 years ago.. so not so sure it would be a hit. TBH I wish they would do a full on remake of the N64 game.
