Yes of course we always hated women in our movies. No one has ever said a woman could be a star or a hero in any movie.
Where do they come up with this? We've literally had strong good and evil women in our movies since silent pictures. Also all my examples below are at least 30 years old so that they were made all in the most sexist times imaginable.

Every time they trot out this PR line before the movie, you know the movie is bad.

@Muffinforall1 @memeticsisyphus It's not arbitrary, and they aren't Americans.
The people from which America derived it's power were pretty explicit to the founders.
English
Believing it is okay to revoke citizenship of American citizens for what amounts to arbitrary reasons is a distinct indicator that you don't beleive in American values. One of the foundational philosophies of the US was that the government derives it's power from the people. Not the other way around. One of the tools of tyranny the British used against the colonies was denial of citizenship to colonists.

“doesn’t this open the door to the government withdrawing citizenship from people who were born here?”
Yeah that’s the whole point…

Kentanji Brown Jackson is too good for this court. I don’t have a transcript yet but she basically asked: “Didn’t they put birthright citizenship in the constitution in order to avoid this type of debate over who gets to claim a domicile?” And Sauer just stuttered. And then Sonia Sotomayor comes in with the “doesn’t this open the door to the government withdrawing citizenship from people who were born here?” More stuttering.

Is there any fictional race or faction that y’all are unironically racist towards? Like legit u see them or even think of them and ur body fills with disgust?
For me it’s the kingdom of Nords from Warband.
Every playthrough they piss me off.

@135ks @orntwo @JeffreyLuscombe Liberals work by digging ditches then filling them in and getting paid by the government for it.
So the person who isn't wasting everyone's time and money on go-nowhere make-work projects is better than setting cash on fire for sinecures.
English
@orntwo @JeffreyLuscombe What’s worse a liberal working or a guy on twitter fighting invisible liberals

Why do Conservatives hate this so much? Anyone?

@_mimiyori Cowboys were poor and abused workers with horrible living conditions.
Same for pirates, but as criminals at sea, also always afraid of violence and thirst.

嫌味とかではなく本当に素朴な疑問なんだけど、アメリカ人の皆さんはなんでそこまでカリフォルニアを嫌っているんですか？

I have another proposal. We swap California for Japan geographically and leave everything else as is.

@MorosKostas @PenWrangler The recent drop is the floyd effect.
Not so much effective policing but the chilling of 2 years of purposefully worse policing and encouraged unrest.
Entirely a government caused spike in violence.
English
@PenWrangler The drop in homicide the last few years has been so dramatic and so rapid it is certainly not due to magical advancements in medicine the last few years.
What you speak of is true, but thats a decades-long gradual decrease.
English
This country is literally the safest it's been since we started comprehensively recording homicide in the 1950s or so.

No White House fires their Attorney General if they believe the administration has effectively reduced and prosecuted crime. Trump took his eye off the ball and America is less safe because of it. propublica.org/article/trump-…

@feelsdesperate Unfortunately, the greeks lost at Thermopylae, and the chuds don't have an army gathering at Marathon to actually accomplish anything after the meme fight.

Online politics are like the Battle of Thermopylae where it’s like 300 chuds successfully holding back millions of NGO libs.

Gavin Newsom has an entire team of functionaries whose sole purpose is to write dunks on Twitter—and they are absolutely terrible at it. The pronoun people lose again.

@seanmdav Us citizens living overseas vote in the district they last had legal residence in.
If a baby is born in the US, and goes straight back to China, is the hospital of their birth their last legal residence when they vote?
If so, what % of California votes are just Chinese?
English
Well, shucks. See that there 20-acre data center/incubation farm owned by the communist Chinese government? The one right next to the U.S. Air Force base and nuclear research laboratory?
I reckon that the tens thousands of test tube babies forcibly harvested from CCP slaves and waiting to be implanted into enslaved CCP brood mares who were illegally smuggled across the border are just as American as you or me. Or they will be, at least.
You were born here, and they’ll be born here, and that makes all of us Americans. John Roberts said so.
English
@KurtSchlichter I think they might punt and say Congress could maybe pass a law defining away birthright citizenship for illegals and temporary visas under their enumerated power to control immigration, but that the president can't EO it.
Knowing that Congress never would actually do anything.
English
You guys understand we’re going to lose the birthright citizenship case, right?
Before you completely freak out, the traditional understanding of the 14th Amendment, which we are seeking to change, is not an insane reading of it. Nor are our arguments insane like the left has been same. That’s baloney to just shut us up. Neither side is frivolous.
It’s a tough call legally and objectively speaking. But when we lose it, and I think we will, don’t freak out that this is some sort of conspiracy. It’s a hard legal decision. Sadly, we have three judges who aren’t even going to try to examine the question and will always vote for what leftists want. But the rest of the court has to make a tough legal call.
I think our reading is the correct one. For various reasons, I think they’re going to rule against us. Don’t freak out when they do. It’s not an utterly irrational ruling like so many of the district court opinions we’ve seen.
English
@Skizzle07364136 @greg_price11 Wong Kim Ark didn't cover the question at hand, retard.
That's like saying US v. Miller covered semi-automatic rifles already, and so bans are already ruled unconstitutional.
Somehow, they keep bringing more 2nd amendment cases to the court to figure out new questions.
English
@Oh_Pee_Em @greg_price11 It was litigated you dummy. The entire argument today at the Supreme Court cited United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) like 100 times.
English
It just feels so painfully obvious that the 14th amendment does not mean that a 9-months pregnant woman from Mexico can cross the Rio Grande illegally, give birth, and be allowed to stay because her child is now a natural born citizen.
English
@Skizzle07364136 @greg_price11 The meaning hasn't been fully adjudicated before.
You don't get to just declare a phrase means what you want and that it can't be argued or litigated. That's the opposite of what lawyers do
English
@greg_price11 U aren't a lawyer so understand why u are so confused. U are either an originalist like Thomas/Scalia class, or not. The term subject to the jurisdition thereof means 2 cases – child born of alien enemies in occupation or child of diplomatic rep of a foreign State, period.

@BigDickBarclay I think slumdog millionaire is the only well made one I know of, but the one where they use palm trees as catapults to launch soldiers over the wall is probably pretty good.

@AngryAndHere @kokesi_nojob Texans couldn't handle the winter of being there.
They shut down the state for an inch of snow.

@kokesi_nojob I have a better idea.
I put us next to Sapporo so we could be close to the beer.

@RicharD1ckJohn @CoopDelMar Pretty sure it's referring to the emperor that was, not the corpse of the emperor that is.
English
@CoopDelMar I barely know anything about either shows, but I'd believe Princess Bubblegum is a cruel despot. What do you mean the character from a little girl's show is WORSE than the God Emperor of Mankind? These are insane comparisons I lack sufficient context towards lol
English
The fuck you mean the God Emperor of Mankind is the Centrist option?

@mintelworld He's not wrong about the state of British forces or their broken policy positions, though.
Can't even stop an invasion of rowboats crossing the channel, if they were smart enough to want to.

NEW: US President Donald Trump criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for refusing to join the American-Israeli war against Iran, questioning Britain's military readiness and the Royal Navy's capabilities.
“You don’t even have a navy. You’re too old and had aircraft carriers that didn’t work,” Trump said, taking aim at the state of the British fleet.
When asked if the Prime Minister should increase defense spending, Trump dismissed the issue, instead attacking Starmer's focus on green energy. “I’m not going to tell him what to do. He can do whatever he wants. It doesn’t matter. All Starmer wants is costly windmills that are driving your energy prices through the roof,” he added.

@Y192814512 @magdalenepop maybe you should read her dissent, even if you dont agree with it, it's not "woke black woman only hired for her genitals". Justice Jackson was one of the best Federal judges in the country.

multiple liberal judges voted no??

The Supreme Court has struck down Colorado’s proposed ban on conversion therapy for minors in a vote of 8-1.
English
@memeticsisyphus Basically every position on the left relies on being able to freely change definitions.
It's just "2+2=5," again, where every proof required changing what 2 or 5 meant.
Like asking what "fair share" means in tax policy.
English
Correct it’s a semantic piggybacking onto the public’s disgust with things like electro-shock therapy for gay kids, but that’s not at all what’s being discussed here. Very typical liberal form of arguing.
Jerry Grey🐊@Jerry__Grey
@memeticsisyphus "Conversion therapy" is a poll-tested buzzword. The law prohibited a therapist from telling a confused child that they were not of the opposite sex.
English
Btw “conversion therapy” here includes therapists questioning kids stated gender. Not saying they’re wrong, just asking them about it and making sure they’re not doing it out of social pressure or emotional distress.

@Ebarr12 @Aaron1598618 @sleepy_devo It didn't establish on lawfulness in either way, as it wasn't a thing at the time.

@Oh_Pee_Em @Aaron1598618 @sleepy_devo No Ark did not establish lawfulness was needed just perm and focused on Ark being born in the US and not parents status
Plyler addressed 14a jurisdictions and says everyone on US soil is under US jurisdiction

if the SCOTUS decides that trump can simply overwrite parts of the constitution with an EO, then america is effectively finished.
nothing stopping trump from overwriting any other amendment with an EO, either.
