bengy81 posted:It's 100% this. They are having a very hard time finding anything with substance (regarding Biden) to get the base fired up over. So they've decided that THE BORDER and CRITICAL RACE THEORY are gonna be those things. Yeah, the bottom line is that Biden has more or less been Trump-lite in border policies. Biden's allowing for asylum requests to go through again, but they're still arresting hella immigrants. There was a massive, massive surge of youngs at the beginning of the year that flooded DHS/HHS facilities, but a lot of that levelled off with the Biden/Kamala "do not come" messages. It's pretty clear that four years of Republican rule absolutely wrecked the immigration system, especially on the humanitarian/asylum claim side. Republicans are treating it like the surge never stopped and Democrats are treating it like Biden's not doing Trump-lite things. The news coverage is abysmal about everything.

For what it's worth, the NCAA is now fully allowing people to profit off their Name/Image/Likeness, loving finally. As such, some players are getting that bag: https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1410453504007806976?s=19 Expect more in about a week - a lot of colleges are request one-week notices with morality clauses (no booze/cigs/porn).

https://twitter.com/NickJFuentes/status/1411597101746724866?s=19 As for voter ID, the issue polls in the 70% range nationwide, because we're a nation of brokebrains that puts car access above constitutional voting access. It's an ideal tradeoff item for a Congressional bill - loose voter ID requirement and funding to make them free in exchange for state voter overturn/subversion bans and a reform of the Electoral Count Act.

The bottom line question is if someone at the NSA or an Intel Agency leaked to the media that Fucker was on a call with Russians. That's the only real no bueno thing here, because Fucker's name should've been masked if it was the NSA doing the intercepting. But of course, absolutely everyone involved in this story is a liar. So basically, gently caress them all and they all deserve each other.

Mr. Nice! posted:The judge said "everyone who signed the kraken filing will appear either in person or on zoom." All of the lawyers hired another lawyer to represent them and asked the judge if they still had to personally show up or if their lawyer could handle the hearing for them. The judge replied "did I loving stutter?" The judge was just offered more information from the City of Detroit (Michigan Senate Republicans have referred these lolyers to the state AG because they're pulling campaign contributions that could be going to state Republican reps) and the judge just responded with "nah, I have enough already, see you on Monday" https://twitter.com/KlasfeldReports/status/1413568779448209411 I'm still 50/50 on if the judge is going to yell a lot or if they're going to impose sanctions.

My favorite thing that the Biden Adminstration does is firing Donnie holdovers as soon as they get the legal clearance to do it. Then, when the underling predictably refuses to resign and runs to the media, they promptly tell the underling to gently caress right off. https://twitter.com/GlennKesslerWP/status/1413609047908098052 quote:As the head of an independent agency whose leadership does not normally change with a new administration, Saul’s six-year term was supposed to last until January 2025. The White House said a recent Supreme Court ruling gives the president power to replace him. Buddy, I didn't even know your name a half hour ago, you're hosed, get out. quote:“Since taking office, Commissioner Saul has undermined and politicized Social Security disability benefits, terminated the agency’s telework policy that was utilized by up to 25 percent of the agency’s workforce, not repaired SSA’s relationships with relevant Federal employee unions including in the context of COVID-19 workplace safety planning, reduced due process protections for benefits appeals hearings, and taken other actions that run contrary to the mission of the agency and the President’s policy agenda,” the White House said in a statement. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/biden-replaces-trump-era-social-security-commissioner

My insurance covers vasectomies at 100% (reversals are covered at 0%!), so my first consult is Thursday. Would've had it done last year, but I didn't want to potentially get a snip and COVID at the same time. If I change my mind, I can adopt, and my younger brother is already talking about having a second kid in a few years to keep my parents happy. I figure abortion will be partially-outlawed in the country in about a year or two, so better to be shooting blanks before then.
