It should be no dual nationals at all. Even if you are a natural born citizen and later get citizenship you have dual loyalty.
Indicting Raul plus the news of the "offensive drones" is clearly our excuse to begin "police" actions there. It'll be we have to go in and do stuff to secure a wanted terrorist and prevent retaliatory attacks.

But as seen in this thread--with multiple OTers who are always reasonable--it's not so cut and dry.

I guess when combined with the comment, you could say it was provocative. Physical touch + flirtatious comment = sexual intent.


If some creepy old dude is calling my teenage daughter hot and trying to hug her, I'm perfectly okay with him getting slapped with a misdemeanor assault charge at a minimum.

Bunch of weirdos between the original thread and this one trying to defend this dude.

In Kentucky's 4th District, millennials significantly outnumber "boomers." Likewise, GenX constituents outnumber boomers in KY-4. What's your beef?


Results by Age

Gallrein was polling below Massie in every generation but Boomers with Massie having 81.5% with Gen Z and 68.6% with Millennials. Massie even had a slight edge, 53% with Gen X. It's the Boomers support that pushed Gallrein ahead.

Boomer MAGA circle jerk: Massie is 1 ineffective member of Congress why does anyone like him?

Also Boomer MAGA circle jerk: We need to spend the most money ever on a House race PRIMARY to get rid of this guy.

It's just pure Jew hating IMO



There's a huge difference between hating Jews, which is wrong, and hating the fact that Israel has an extremely overproportionate amount of influence on US politics, which is totally legit to be concerned about. Israel could be predominately members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and I would be just as bothered by it.

Screw that guy - idiot and should be charged


I sort of feel this way too. Maybe not charged criminally necessarily, but the NPS and/or California should come after him for the cost of fighting this fire.
Looked up the island to see how remote this is, and seems like this dude may have overreacted.

There's a commercial ferry that run at times to the island, you can get camping permits, and it is part of the NPS. Did the guy not have radio equipment and/or a cell phone?

Guy is out here shooting flares and spelling out SOS like he is stuck in some uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific.

When you 5x the amount of guys becoming plumbers because they now aren't going get their business degree at directional state schools, what does that do to the job market for plumbers?
quote:

the nate storyline that is, is to portray him in the most cuck like manner possible.


I think they are trying to show that the 2 people who were so confident and powerful in high school, Nate and Jules, are now weak. Nate went from the jock who ran the school to having his wife do OF and being constantly beat to shite. Jules was hooking up with all these older men and so self-confident in seasons 1 and 2, but is now totally dependent on some man that uses him/her as a sex toy.

Rue on the other hand is clean and starting to take more control of her life, arguably. She broke free of Laurie and was in control for a bit working with Alamo, but now is back in the control of the DEA.

Cassie has the most power of any of them ironically, but is too needy for validation to recognize any of it.

I kind of like the Maddie storyline. Feels like they are doing a "boss bitch" storyline well for her. On one hand it's all girl power, but then on the other hand it's through the exploitation of other women. It's, at least superficially, a complex story arch.

I think overall what I like about Euphoria is that on the surface you can enjoy it as just trashy TV, but Sam actually has some deeper thoughts buried into it if you want to dig.

I rarely, if ever, care when Congressmen are having affairs with other consensual adults. I absolutely do not care that Massie is getting laid as a widower.

Here’s how I know for a fact I’m on the right side of the Israel / Palestine situation.


The right side is saying "who the hell cares" and letting them fight it out. Both sides are equally shite, and we have no reason spending money on a conflict we didn't create (for once) and doesn't impact our national security. We tried peaceful diplomacy with them for decades, and clearly it isn't what either side wants, so let them kill each other until they figure it out.
Thank you President Donald J Trump for lowering our prices! Promises made, promises kept! :usa:

Is Blood of My Blood worth watching?


I enjoyed it. Lot more political wheeling and dealing than Outlander. I know the book purist dislike it because it’s not canonical, but overall a good first season.

Did anyone watch the finale?


Extremely disappointed with the finale, and really the season. Thought it was supposed to go past the book material and into what is supposed to be in book 10. Ended the show when there’s another 500-100 page book left of material is dumb. There was so much unresolved storylines just hanging out there. Besides the montage, nothing felt like a series finale.

My only thought is that there’s a handshake agreement they will come back after the 10th book is released for a season.

It also aligns with the ruling they made in Geo Group v. Menocal back in February that said Geo Group can't claim derivative sovereign immunity from law suits. That one was also 9-0.

So if you can't defend yourself from getting your arse beat... when CAN you use a gun, in your state?


Generally self defense must be proportional, but there is also an exception that you can't claim self defense if you instigate or escalate the encounter.

It's possible this Chud guy can claim self defense or it's possible he is going to jail for a long time. Seems impossible to tell with the current amount of info.
