@HansSling63 The country was settled when white people got here, too, you fucking idiot.

Immigrants have always been part of the lifeblood of the country, even being the people who stopped some of the absolute atrocities committed by those born in the US.
The lies administrations like the current one have spread are incredibly evil.
Tuki@TukiFromKL
the CATO Institute.. a libertarian think tank funded by the Koch brothers.. just published a study showing immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits every single year from 1994 to 2023.. not a left-wing university.. not a Democratic PAC.. the Koch brothers' own research institute.. they reduced the deficit by $14.5 trillion over 30 years.. they earn less per hour but work at higher rates.. which means higher per capita income.. which means higher taxes paid.. the country spent 30 years being told immigrants were draining the system.. turns out they were funding it.. and the people who told you that knew the numbers the whole time

Trump is a blundering idiot who can't do anything right, there is no plan, he even bankrupted a casino
Also he orchestrated an assassination false flag with a fake Democrat intel sleeper in front of hundreds of journalists pulling off a circuitous plan to justify his ballroom

@Variety Just awful she didn't get to work with Lisa Dunham.

Lisa Kudrow says the "Friends" writers were "mostly men" who reprimanded the cast for forgetting lines and stayed "up late discussing their sexual fantasies" about her female co-stars:
"Don't forget we were recording in front of a live audience of 400, and if you messed up one of these writers' lines or it didn't get the perfect response they could be like, 'Can’t the bitch f---ing read? She's not even trying. She f---ed up my line.'"

@sociopath_watch @azarias416 @hoodfarquaad The insipidness of long distance travel is subjective. It's insufficient to justify spending trillions on it. Metro light rail has a very poor record of success.
English
@JonesScorpius @azarias416 @hoodfarquaad Because long distance road travel is insipid as domestic plane flights. Metropolitan light rail is also incredibly space efficient, more timely than busses, and safer than cars by a factor of 20.

the United States’ lack of transit is honestly a global embarrassment

All of the Counties with subways:

@JonesScorpius @hoodfarquaad Not enough, and they should also carry people.

@azarias416 @hoodfarquaad We have railways. They are used for cargo.
English
North America used to be a global hub for railways from the mid-19th to 20th century but because automobile industry lobbying, they built a world for cars and now mfs gotta drive for hours everywhere, be stuck in traffic all the time and spend thousands a year on gas, insurance, repairs, etc.

🚨BREAKING: Virginia court REJECTS Republican lawsuit in challenging the legislature’s authority to alter the 2021 congressional map. A HUGE victory for our client the DCCC and the voters of Virginia. Another defeat for the GOP. democracydocket.com/cases/virginia…

@DrOBrienMD CATO is vile.
Why would you accept excluding 9/11?
Why would you ignore the left's attacks on America in the 60's and early 70's?

Factually false. We have a violence problem, and when it comes to political murders it is disproportionately right wing.
But let’s start with addressing gun violence, oh wait YOUR party dismantled all the infrastructure we had for that.
Heritage Foundation@Heritage
We have a left-wing violence problem.

@FamedCelebrity I'd save the $450 M. You can buy a new wife, girlfriend and friend. Your mom? Well it was her time.

When Democrats take back the White House, two things are non-negotiable:
Raising the minimum wage.
Universal healthcare.

I've known Dave Grusch for a few years now. He has shown high integrity in our dealings. He has never contradicted himself or played games with me, and my impression has been that he is as forthright as someone in his position can be. For what it's worth.

"[UFO Disclosure will] be a little uncomfortable. There'll be some truths that [will] be a hard pill to swallow." ~Grusch New David Grusch: "There's truly anonymous signatures in the skies [and] the U.S. government understands it represents a form of sentient, non-human intelligence. I know that sounds very Star Trek, a la, you know, Gene Roddenberry and Rod's dad's Sci-Fi series, but it is true. "And I want, you know, the American public to be comforted that the Universe is teeming with life, it seems, and readily able to be explored. And the U.S. government does have a lot of information that I think will inspire Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the American populace at large. And it will be a new era. "It'll be a little uncomfortable. There'll be some truths that [will] be a hard pill to swallow, but I think it's, ultimately, a good thing to get this out there. And I think the people of the world and the American public will be very happy to understand their place in the Universe, so to speak. Without sounding too much like Carl Sagan."

We don’t need to build a new ballroom. It’s a stupid idea.

Will American political discourse become calmer once Trump leaves office?

NH is a real-life example of selection bias. A lot of folks across the country can’t understand how our politics can be so different than the rest of the Northeast. Here’s why.

@NYCMayor You're either disingenuous or delusional. Pick one.

At our city-owned grocery stores, staples like eggs and bread will actually be affordable.
And we're going to do it the right way, without cutting workers' pay or dignity.
Because in the wealthiest city in this country, buying groceries shouldn't be an unsolvable equation.
It should be simple, fair, and within reach for everyone.

South Africans summoned Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and other non-African shop owners in South Africa to board meetings in order to force them to dismiss any other African nationals they employed, because they do not want other Africans working for them.👀
