Unbelievably brilliant idea (yeah, I know)

It would cause maximum melt in the world, PR and on this board.

In the age of AI, all H1-B's should be first - annually cut back to 0; then slowly eliminate the millions of positions they occupy currently.

I think both are excellent... I'm still willing to adhere to the following guide, setting up Rubio to be the best President my daughters will know.

Besides, he'll look great for the presidential portrait with a little grey in his hair.

That is a HOOT. Gollum's spawn, all grown up.

PS- The LSU gear just tops it.

Because they don't have money in the stock market, couldn't buy on the dip, their sexual partner can't get an erection anymore and Starbucks is firing more than hiring.

This news will warm your heart. Why the Netherlands? Why not France, England, or Somalia?
Because redditors all directed them there.

Turns out, they're in a camp, on sleeping bags... because other countries have immigration laws...And the Netherlands doesn't think a 'rando death threat' as reported by the figs in their (let's see - here liberals call it a 'concentration') camp. Also, others in the camp, who want to end up in America are stunned; how do you leave the US?

BTW, you get one appeal. I'm loving it.

Ter Apel, a small, unassuming Dutch town near the German border, is a place tourists rarely have on their itinerary. There are no lovely old windmills, no cannabis-filled coffee shops and on a recent visit it was far too early for tulip season.

When foreigners end up there, it is for one reason: to claim asylum at the Netherlands’ biggest refugee camp, home to 2,000 desperate people from all around the world.
...
But in the last year they have been joined by a curious new cohort: a bunch of Americans, who say they have feared for their lives ever since Donald Trump returned to the White House.

Their presence has surprised many of the camp’s residents. “My dream is to go to America or the UK. America for me is the paradise,” said Usama, a 21-year-old Libyan-Algerian hanging around the main gate. “You can work, you can make a million if you have a good idea. Why they come here?”

Watch the first 60 seconds for the best summary by theoldermilliennial(I normally don't like videos-in-videos style of reporting).

To those who don't like this story, downvote and move along figgets -- your presence on this board bore me.

If true, the former Press Secretary should legally be renamed to Sean Spicy, or Spicier.

We can play the long game as well, it seems...

A decade-and-a-half ago, while on a research visit to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) in Tampa, Florida, I had a candid exchange with a senior military official (now retired) deeply focused on the Iranian “file.” Even back then, the regime’s energy weapon loomed large in American strategic thinking. CENTCOM’s nightmare scenario, he told me, was not a complete closure of the Strait but a deliberate “narrowing” of it. Through tactics like minelaying, naval drills and the harassment of transiting vessels, Tehran could constrict the flow of oil through the Strait enough to cause a spike in global oil prices without ever presenting Washington with a clear casus belli.

The planned countermove, however, was equally revealing. If Iran ever interfered with the Strait in a meaningful way, the official told me, the waterway would “remain closed – by us.” Such a response would accomplish two critical objectives: it would rob the Iranian regime of its most vital source of hard currency, and it would quickly turn every country relying on Gulf oil into a stakeholder in the containment of the Iranian regime.
