@varadmehta Democrats have a purported "lifelong Republican BUT" at every event and shove him in front of every camera they can find. Generally uses "retaliation" as an excuse to be anonymous. This tactic is so consistent that I suspect there must be activist manual which includes it.

@heatguyj81 @Skwerilleee @nuIIpoint3r And yet it wasn't capitalist. Slavery consisted of a small elite, using its control of the government, to take from others by force and without compensation -- because they (the elite) were superior and could make better use of it. Socialism is that, at scale, mutatis mutandis.

@heatguyj81 @Skwerilleee @nuIIpoint3r False. Slaves were recognized as "persons" in law. But they were denied the right to own and trade their own labor. This denial was supposedly for their own good, and the good of society. Socialism is the same thing, but applied to everyone.

@ingelramdecoucy Favorite Stephen Wright joke: My girlfriend asked me, "If you could know when and how you were going to die, would you want to know?" I said "no." She said "Oh. Never mind, then."

“At some point you’ll die. I can’t say when, I can’t say how, but I’m sorry to say that you will die” 60 minutes: “Brilliant! Groundbreaking thinking!”

@robbystarbuck Dual citizenship gives their (former) home country a veto over their U.S. citizenship, since it can simply refuse to let them renounce. We could have a rule that immigrants may not EXERCISE rights of citizenship in their former countries, though.

My humble immigration policy: - Deport illegals at speeds never seen before. - A voluntary trial immigration exchange program with Canada, Cuba and Venezuela where we trade leftists who want to leave the US for people who love America. We’ll even throw some $ in. - Expand genius visa for top 1% of graduates, artists and wealth creators in other nations. - End Chinese student visas entirely, open a route for top 1% from Chinese schools to renounce Chinese citizenship to come to America. They must never return to China. - A seasonal farm worker program that if you overstay you never get to come to America again. - Legal immigrants can’t have dual citizenship anymore. Allegiance must be pledged to America. - Citizen applicants must be fluent in English. - Make citizenship test more difficult so we know they truly understand our system. - Institute assimilation clause for new citizens with deportation on the table for violations. Thoughts?

@BocaDuk3 @shipwreckedcrew This was my (obviously failed) attempt at a joke based on the potential double-meaning of "cut in half". Cutting the NUMBER of staff 50% vs. vs. physically bisecting them individually.

@ingelramdecoucy Why do people stereotype woke white women as joyless scolding schoolmarms? It will always be one of the great mysteries.

One thing that has become more apparent the longer I am on here is that a substantial number of people don’t actually believe in anything. They just adopt positions based on where their side—itself a happenstance—is at the moment, with no embarrassment about changing on a dime.

Have you ever taken a moment to savor the disturbing, dystopian, Orwellian fragrance of the very term "human resources"?

@greg16676935420 The Pentagon banned trucks from roads adjacent to the building after 9/11. The Wienermobile staff either didn't get the word, or didn't know that it's legally considered a truck. This led to one of the more entertaining force protection reports I've seen. Good times...

@AndrewCFollett Sadly at my age I've got too few TU-per-turn to be useful in the fight. And I don't have enough hair to grow the regulation anime-style mop anymore.

@ingelramdecoucy Online Commie Cliche Drinking Game: one shot each time they say "bootlicker". Granted, one gets drunk pretty quickly, but that's the best way to deal with Online Commies. One does not look upon the face of the Gorgon sober. Some say I've got a problem. I say it's a solution.

Easiest way to know you’re over the target on a post mocking or criticizing any DSA member’s policies or policy proposal is when a bunch of accounts with 30 followers start flooding into your replies calling you a bootlicker. Means you struck a nerve.

@iowahawkblog Perhaps he misread it as CVM. (Someone should start a prep course for it called "Ready for CVM". They might not get many clients but they'll make a fortune off the merch.)

@AuronMacintyre "Pro-Israel groups" ≠ "a foreign country" Many people are "pro-Israel" because they think the relationship benefits the United States. Maybe they're wrong about that. But that's a different question.

@varadmehta By nature, erotic fantasies are often unrealistic. But most people have the decency not to share theirs in public forums.
