Well one of them sent an email with a picture in their signature out to all the staff letting them all know to update their signature to the official one. To which another reply-all’d asking how to do such, others thanking them for the signature. 774 reply all laters they got through the does mine look okay, please stop clicking reply all, why do I keep getting more of these, STOP SENDING THESE TO ME reply all messages that were sent out. That made up the first 5GB of emails and most of the first 2 days they were in office.

“Immigration matters are civil matters, meaning that immigrants – whether they are naturalized citizens or not – do not have the right to an attorney in such cases.”

How can immigrantion matters be considered a civil matter if you criminalized someone’s immigration status?

Example in Tennessee: "The legislation, criminalizing the act of being in Tennessee without legal immigration status, would come with both jail time and an eviction notice from the state. Judges would be required to issue 72-hour warnings to leave Tennessee to anyone charged or convicted of the crime.

The first offense would be a misdemeanor, but would rise to a felony if someone is charged a second or subsequent time."

That means Tennessees courts should immediately shoot that down as unconstitutional because it is a civil matter according to the federal government.

No I haven’t said anything about my sentiment about Waltz. He has said we can’t allow what is/has happened to the people in Gaza to happen, and supported immediate ceasefire though. Which go completely against why you say you dislike him.

…also “lying to us” really? The sentence made no sense. Even Fox pointed out he misspoke and he said Israel instead of Iran. And made fun of him for it. There was more wrong about the sentence than just that… it’s 2 sentences jammed together incorrectly like he looked down and read the next like or something.

That’s not his take though is it, that’s just what you want it to be for some reason.

What’s his take?

I still found that crazy. Bury your kids mother (your ex wife) on a golf course, extremely underwhelming grave for a “billionaire” and then somehow not have it mowed when you are hosting an international tournament. Like they had to mow the golf course, the landscaping company is clearly already being paid…

So your quoting something that was clearly misspoken as why you dislike him so greatly. The sentence makes no sense as many pointed out on every news station at the time saying he misspoke.

If it wasn’t two sentences garbled together like everyone assumed, who exactly are Israel proxies that he wants to expand? It very clearly was meant to be something along the line of Iran and it’s proxies (referring to the actual subject of the conversation, Hezbollah) are expanding. Hezbollah “expanding” at the time was considered a big threat because the U.S. was dumping shit tons of cash to stop the attacks on ships instead of telling Israel we would sanction them and cut all further support unless they withdrew from Gaza and called an immediate permanent ceasefire. (Which is why Hezbollah was shooting at ships).

Biden should have made an executive order to do so and demanded the sanctions be placed. (which Congress would have said no too, but if the president bluffed, we don’t know if Israel would have stopped or been certain they could wait for Congress to say no).

What do you have against eating orphans? It statistically should drive down homelessness and potentially rent prices. Probably not good for the economy or moral though. Your parents died in a traffic accident, sorry kid… You’re off to the buffet.

So your plan is to give up, or try to change the Democrat party to move further left? A new party couldn’t place a member on the Presidential ballot by 2028. They have to hold positions in multiple states of lower positions to do so, and that would split the possible centrists from the leftists and guarantee another Republican win.

Hating on individual Democrat members who drive the party Congress/Senate to the right makes sense. Hating on the entire party just helps lose support for their party and thereby support the “true” villains as you labeled them.

Could have done what when Biden was president? A bill like this was impossible to pass under Biden even if you could get the Democrats who notoriously don’t line up together to get on the same page. It has to pass both sides of the legislature, and they didn’t have a majority in both sides like Republicans do now.

According to the article it says it requires only 51 votes to override. So “real” or not if the Republicans actually fall in line like always it once again doesn’t matter what the Democrats in the Senate do. There are more than 51 (53) Republican senators, also Vance would vote for it. So they can have 3 people not vote for it and it would override it apparently. I thought the parliamentary would require 3/5 to override, but maybe that only pertained to some of the clauses they took out to ensure it did not require 60+ votes

Exactly, then you outlaw homelessness and deplete protection programs. This will ensure we can fill privately owned and operated prisons and use their labor to work the low paying jobs at a vastly lower pay.

Note from the article below. They claim “some of the most violent prisons” yet some of them are allowed to work 40 hours and some go home for the weekend to stay unsupervised. That doesn’t sound like a very dangerous person… In fact why are they holding them at all. Commute their sentence to probation at that point and let them get paid the actual wage. It would decrease our prison costs, while increasing taxes paid to the government and economic gains. We need to rework the prison systems to rehabilitation with much earlier releases if they are deemed safe to be working around the non incarcerated population. After all they are only supposed to be locked up because they are “a threat” to to the non incarcerated population.

And yes, that chart says the highest minimum wage is .35 cents and hour for incarcerated people. 5% of the federal minimum wage that is unlivable… meaning they can’t make anywhere near the money they need to save up for a roof and transportation to a job if they can find one when they get out. Throw in that many prisons charge inmates for being there… They have debt when they get out they need to pay off, so their credit will likely be shot.

No, right now if your parents aren’t citizens, and you are born here, you become a citizen. Say you come on a student visa, get pregnant your junior year and drop out of college to take care of your baby and try to figure out a life, the baby is a U.S. citizen. Very clearly as you can see that mother and child are a huge risk to national security. A person going to work and paying taxes while raising a kid and helping with the birthrate decline they supposedly care about is something we just can’t have.

Hard to say where he really sits without knowing more about him, but voice wise it seems he was calling for people to protest Israel’s actions while not performing them specifically at Jewish events. Which I get. Bringing the protests to specifically Jewish events in the U.S. isn’t protesting Israel, it draws the idea that if you are Jewish you are Israel, which is false. His comments that Palestinians should be able to live without fear I haven’t seen anyone mentioning and the fact that they are quoting him from 2021 saying Israel should be more surgical, 2 years before things escalated from the Oct 7th attack and prior to any ground invasion.

A U.S. Senator speaking about Israel overreach in 2021 is actually surprising.

So your saying you would support if they updated it to, everyone who is here as of Jan 1st, 2026 (or whenever it passed) is legally a citizen whether or not they were in the naturalization process, and only their decendents can get birthright citizenships. (And all future citizens who get naturalized by sponsorship)

I could be fine with that IF every workplace is mandated to sponsor every person they hire on a work visa. If they are caught hiding that they hired a worker the company is dissolved and the owners/executives get life in prison. All student Visa’s allowed a fast tract acceptance to a work visa while attending school or a period of forebearance while it processes if applied for within 90 days of leaving the educational institution.

Asylum applications need to be updated to NOT require the person to be on U.S. soil and made accessible online. If a person applies for asylum and any personal information down to just giving a name is leaked by any member of our government or institutions set to minotor/run those applications, the penalty is life in prison.

It’s just the title, it even says in the article he would move forward with trying to redefine the 14th amendment. Basically it’ll be if your parents are citizens, and your born here, you’ll be a citizen. (My best guess)

Maybe but it’s a lot harder to start a fire with a cigarette than most people think. You need to be in a dry area for sure, and have good air flow. The tests people point to a lot are that if you drop a cigarette into gasoline, it will just put the cigarette out. If you drop it in grass, it is highly unlikely it will ignite anything. When they set up dry hay to test it they had the best odds of setting one. There were studies where they lit cigarettes and left them on different fabrics, and found 5/300 fabrics could actually catch fire.

If you pick up a leaf and try to light it with a cigarette it will fail unless it’s fall, and even in fall I have lit a leaf intentionally and dropped it to he ground and the leaf burns out without catching anything else. Your best shot would be to get your kindling all together, dried and knock the cherry into it, then start blowing on it like you were trying to start a camp fire. Wood doesn’t ignite till about 600F/300+C or so if it isn’t a continuous heat. (Assuming it’s dry). A cigarette burns at around 400F/200c unless someone is pulling on it, then temperature goes way up, which is why you’d want to blow on the cherry to get any kindling to catch.

Sidenote: I worked at a movie theater back in 2006 for a few years. At the end of the night we would throw away large amounts of popcorn. That stuff makes a great fire starter. It’s light, airflow around it is great, and because it has the oil on it it burns fairly hot and the fire tends to stick to kindle and such really well. I used to take a couple gallons or so and tie it to my backpack because it added hardly any weight, and you’d have a spare snack when drinking around the campfire after you get it going.

Seems like bad legislation decisions though. Maybe write in a clause that says if you upload a book to train an AI, then once completed you have to get rid of the book, in a manner than can include donating them to libraries or charities.

Any way it goes it’s a loss. Why waste the paper, glue, ink and such. Would be great if they created a database when they uploaded each book and shared it to the world with direct purchase of the digital copy to the owner of the work. So the other 30 AIs that come along can just download them there, and they already know a set price, so if we see the company doesn’t pay at least that much, we know they are stealing the works

Anyways. The article has a laundry list of antisemetic quotes made by Republican propaganda pushers.

The classic pull out game.

Fred: “We can protect ourselves” Terry: “nah we’ll just raw dog it.” Fred: “we just pushed no protection pertaining to sex because we wanted higher birthrates, this will cause more deaths without protections, it’s a medical issue…” Kennedy: Let’s have HIV parties so everyone can build strong immunities.
