During the earliest debates he was just about anti-vaccine until he noticed Rand Paul and Ben Carson (the two ACTUAL DOCTORS on the stage) were also and he walked it back to being for vaccines but against how often they're administered.

I dunno, Americans are pretty dumb. I work in an office and we get a fuckload of sick time and people have been coming in ultra sick for the past two weeks. I go off on them, and they say "I was raised to never skip school or work unless I am physically unable to move."

I'm a permanent contract worker in an office full of full timers. Every day off I take is money I can't use to buy food. They don't use any of their sick time when they get sick, though, which means I get sick thanks to our open office layout, and I keep coming in because I like food and shelter like some kind of greedy rear end in a top hat, so I get other people around me sick, and no one seems to be able to put 2 and 2 together on why everyone is sick all of the loving time.

Give me some sick time and, oh man, will I take that poo poo when I'm sick.

Not much, probably. Remember, this clown can't handle literally anything more administrative than telling whoever's taking his food order that he wants a scoop of ice cream for dessert. I mean it'd be a crisis and they'd have to distract him down, but nothing substantive would come from it because we are not getting into military incursion territory with Mexico.

Honestly probably nothing, Trump already thinks that cartel death squads are killing people by throwing bales of drugs over the barriers.

Also the dominant cartels employ a bunch of people with combat experience and former SF guys etc who are very well armed. ICE and CBP are full of dudes who have never been closer to combat than getting beaten up in elementary school and have no combat training or experience so unless the actual full strength of the military gets deployed, idk what a bunch of fat sweaty dudes are going to do. Trump personally does not give one single solitary gently caress about some random jackboot who rides around the southern border and tbh you probably couldn't even get Trump to publicly pretend to care, either.

Like if you have vet status and have preferential hiring going for you, you're not using that advantage to go into the absolute dead end, horribly paid, shitshow jobs that cbp and ice are struggling to fill


It's darkly funny how totally universal it is that cops are literally the worst people to arm

Neither the US nor Mexican administrations want or are in a position for a hostile crisis of any sort. Aside from the camps, the border wall stuff has been a huge defeat for Trump and he's only half heartedly lying about the border wall at this point.

Also I think it's far more likely that the 'immigrants have no standing against the federal govt' stuff is intended much more as a shield for ICE camp guards than anyone else.

Yeah I saw that yesterday and I don’t think it is a good move for Reddit. If Reddit had good policies for following their own guidelines over the years and didn’t have a history of trying to silence things that makes them look bad it would be one thing. I am perfectly fine with the idea of trying to discourage hate speech anywhere and if it were used in that way awesome. But I know that they will use it to silence dissident or something that is not positive for them.

It is one of the difficult issues of free speech since you have to accept that in order to be free to speak your beliefs you also must allow others to as well no matter how ugly or hateful they are.

Now as a non government entity Reddit can do whatever they want with their service. Free speech matters not there nor here for that matter. It just doesn’t paint a good precedent when it happens because it causes people to fear making their opinions known, limits debate and encourages “group think”. Granted Reddit encourages that with its walled garden approach to forums in the first place but that is neither here nor there.

A better solution for them would be for problem Reddits to have their moderation removed and have the company take it over for a period of time.

Somehow a bunch of idiots over the years have managed to get the absolute privilege of saying anything anytime anywhere to anyone conflated with the right to free speech and it's one of the dumbest things about this country. Yeah free speech is great, no you can't just say 'there are no rules wrt speech' in any sphere, public or private, digital or otherwise and have it not turn into a huge dumpsterfire. The sooner people writ large accept that the better.

No, you really don't. That's techno-libertarian bullshit speaking. Reddit pays millions of dollars for servers to run. They own those servers. They control _everything_ those servers do. Reddit absolutely can and should police the speech on their servers.

This is not Reddit policing what you say in your home or on the street corner. This is Reddit policing what's posted and served from machines they own and run. There is _zero_ expectation of first amendment rights on their servers.
