When people gently caress up like that, and the context doesn't help them all that much, don't give them the benefit of the doubt. Chances are, their real self is coming out when their filter temporarily went down.

Literally nothing will happen, nothing in the south has more local power than a sheriff, they're basically little god-kings, since the sheriff's dept isn't a police department (which would ostensibly be regulated by the municipality) and can write their own rules of conduct with no oversight. It's loving stupid but it's built as another way to keep minorities down.

Believe women.

Border Patrol and CBP want to be like the Army but don't like having to refer the media to the PAO.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/biden-administration-limits-what-border-patrol-can-share-media-about-n1261133

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is restricting the information Border Patrol agents and sector chiefs can share with the media as a surge of migrants tests the agency's capacity at the southern border, according to four current and two former Customs and Border Protection officials.

The officials say the restrictions are seen as an unofficial "gag order" and are often referred to that way among colleagues. The officials requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media about the topic.

Maybe, but I'm optimistic. I think we all get taken in by the tropes of "new" media--my messages elsewhere here are often enough filled with poorly researched hot takes I've sent to friends, excited about somebody touting ideas I agree with but demonstrated by more wit than evidence. Some of those friends are willing to call me on it, and that helps me stay true. We're on enough different social media sites that we're not just here because of inertia any more--I think people are here because it's a more elegant social media of a civilized age. In its archaic fashion it provides diversity of opinion and nuance that algorithms and short formats lose while engendering more meaningful discussion than one-way vectors like blog posts and videos can accomplish. If people are here for that, then the occasional reminder to be critical can be valuable.

"People werent smart enough to understand how good donald trump was and biden should have to take a mental competency exam to remove him from office and what would happen to our freedoms without him here from the fascist communists in charge"

This loving karen hit every qanon talking point in like 5 sentences I am amazed. Thr kids in the cages should be sent back because theyre just drug mules paid for by george soros and m13 (not ms 13) the worst gang in the world to flood every middle school and highschool with drugs, you see the power of the communists protecting biden in the way the criminals were tearing the cities apart during the summer etc. In the middle of a hotel lobby to her husband. Just amazing. Cuomo didnt do enough to let old people die is the hottake hill i will die on.

There are like 150 countries more densely populated than the US, we are way down on the list of who needs to be concerned about crowding.

But of course "crowded" is just his more acceptable way of saying "not white"

This is one of those lying through omission things that Fox is really good at. There were about 100k border apprehensions in February, according to CBP. Thry focus on the fact that it is 2.5x times higher than last February. Perhaps there was something going on last february which caused that number to be artificially low. Perhaps there was an x factor that is now subsiding, causing a reversion to the mean.

For context, there were 144k apprehensions in May of 2019.

(As an idiot who knows nothing about farming, the numbers seem to me like they ebb and flow according to traditional harvest seasons.)

I served my country, went to college, got a good job. I’m the American dream. I’m what a republican thinks the model citizen looks like.

I still wouldn’t be able to afford rent if I wasn’t pulling a medical retirement pension. And that’s for a studio or a 1br far enough away from the metro that I’m hoofing it a few miles or buying a car.

So uh... I guess go get permanently scarred for number if you want a decent life bad enough?
