Immigration is such a horseshit issue. Why are people dumb enough to fall for this shit?

Immigration will be "solved" come January, but not because Trump will actually do anything about it, but he'll just say the problem is solved and then stop talking about it.

Too late for that.

Small acts of rebellion. Take extra long breaks. Automate parts of my job and then don't tell anybody that I did it. Break some shit on purpose and act like it was an accident. Steal as much stuff that isn't nailed down as possible. The list would go on, but I'd honestly have no idea what I would actually do in that situation.

I'm certainly not giving it 100% at whatever job I'm working at. I would say form a union, but that's hard to do when you are working for 56 hour workweeks plus commute, not including overtime. That's assuming the 7 day workweek remains 8 hour shifts rather than moving down to something like 6 hour shifts with an unpaid lunch break.

Tons of cities got screwed in 2016 and in 2020, why did they think the guy who is well known for not paying his bills and actually brags about it to his throngs of adoring fans would suddenly pay up? Unless the cities planned to host him knowing that he would never pay, at which point it becomes the taxpayers problem. Should absolutely be grounds for a class action lawsuit.

He'll have plenty of time to catch up on some Z's in a prison cell.

On that note, Melchior would make for a metal af middle name.

Normal people: Biden being silly for the kids at an event.

Conservatives: Biden, running critically low on adrenochromes at a White House event, goes full mask off and attempts to bite a baby in the full view of the public to get at the nourishing blood supply in it's youthful veins before the foul necromancy that binds him to this mortal coil wanes and the shell that houses his damned soul is reduced to the dust of aeons gone by.

I'd like to believe that the only reason 2020 got so ratfucked in the first place was that Trump was intentionally not putting the screws on anybody to do their jobs.

A second Jan 6th won't happen, at least not this year. A MAGA mob will show up at the capitol and be met by a fully prepared and well armed national guard, because Biden is the commander in chief and he's going to take threats like that seriously.

If the house declines to elect a speaker, Biden could in theory put pressure on them to pick one. The constitutional crisis can swing both directions - yes the Republicans will likely try to avoid certification, but then Biden could threaten to not step down unless the certification happens, or hand over the reigns to VP Harris anyway by resigning. I don't see it working in their favor to try something like not certifying or not electing a speaker, because they don't have the luxury of Trump in the white house to look the other way at their bad behavior.

I imagine that a university level coding assignment and the backend code that runs the Twitter.com website (albeit just fractions of it) are several orders of magnitude apart from each other in terms of size and complexity. I don't know shit about programming though, I took C++ in high school and got a D+. Should've called the class Introduction to D++.

Calling a genocide a “single issue” is offensive as fuck.

It's literally objective reality. It is one single issue among many. If you're unwilling to consider other issues when voting just because one of them is genocide, that makes it a single issue and it makes you a single issue voter.

I don't give a fuck if that offends you. Get lost.

The political culture is embracing you to never think past the next election.

I am absolutely thinking past the next election. I want to make sure, at any cost, that the person who has vowed to become a dictator on day one, deport millions of legal immigrants, terminate the constitution, and use the military against his political opponents does not win.

In other words, I am voting in this election to ensure that there is a next election.

Since the bad faith leftists seem adamant that genocide is genocide and that there are no shades of grey involved, then my support for either candidate hardly matters in that regard, so I'm not going to let it stand in the way of casting my vote to support other issues that I care about. Women's right to bodily autonomy and the rule of law are two big ones in my book.

I'm sorry that innocent people are dying in Palestine in a senseless conflict, truly I am. I hope the people of Israel do their own part to hold their government responsible for these atrocities, because ultimately that's what needs to happen. Israel could continue the war indefinitely even without U.S. support. We are not the lynchpin holding the Israel-Hamas war afloat, we're just one cog in the machine.
