All I hear is that China was sucking up copper to make cheap shit which was just another way to keep the US from making competitively priced goods.

I don’t think you can call it sucking up when they have 80% of all the refining. That means 20% elsewhere in the world, and I don’t believe that the US has the majority of that reminder of refining.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer Thurston orders a stop to arrests or searches done by border patrol along the border. If any such stops are done, the border agents are to immediately write and email her an essay on why they did it.

How much further do these mentally ill people in black tutus have to push before we tell them to fuck off? "Border patrol isn't allowed to patrol the borders because I don't personally think we need borders" is fucking madness and she should be disbarred and removed from the bench immediately. Via black bag tactics if need be.

This seems performative and toothless - First page there establishes that they cannot perform the stop "Unless they have reasonable suspicion" that the persons an illegal. "Reasonable Suspicion" is just "A normal person would agree that they may be suspicious", and for that line on a Border Patrol Officer, "I found them skulking around unusual areas of the border away from the designated crossings" is already going to pass this hurdle.
 
They're still dying on the "tattoos are photoshopped" hill, eh?

The tattoo's on his knuckles were real. What's deliberately being misinterpreted as "photoshopped" is the meaning and context for each individual tattoo on the knuckles. Kilmar legitimately identifies himself as MS13. You don't just get those tattoos for a reason.

Or it's to inconvenience CBP by burying them in paperwork just to do their jobs.

I'm late to this big stink, but was this that interview with a senator? Why would they photoshop in MS13 tattoos if it was trying to make him look sympathetic?

No. When he was dragged in front of a judge, they showed a picture of his tattoos with "M S 1 3" written above them by the Anti-Gang Specialists explaining what each symbol stood for.

The idiots on the left are pretending to think that Trump meant "look, literal letters MS 13" when he was talking about that photo when he was obviously talking about the Marijuana Leaf, the Smiley Face, the Cross (for 1 God) and the Skull (which has 3 prominent holes in the center of it). It's all hilariously performative by the freaks who are just absolutely SEETHING with anger that someone might throw a bunch of illegals out of the country when they feel that everyone in the fucking world has the right to be here. As well as SNEEDING that Trump beat them again, despite everything including election rigging being used against him.

I posted an Imgur thread a few pages back that shows how their raw reaction is. It's hilariously unhinged.

No. This was the ABC interview in which this faggot kept deflecting and trying to say that the tattoos were photoshopped. The moment he got the absolute pushback from Trump on it was when he wanted to pivot and start kvetching about Ukraine, but Trump wouldn't let it go (which I'm glad on). He wouldn't shut the fuck up about the photoshop and Trump kept denying that particular narrative surrounding it.

Exactly, turning the other cheek really means be the bigger man when someone insults you, especially for your religion, which was vital at the time when Christianity was heavily mocked and is still widely in practice today. It’s the fundamental difference between Islam and Christianity. Christians are supposed to rise above insults and minor offenses, Muslims will murder you for doodling a face.
But it was never meant to say “don’t defend yourself.” Jesus’s apostles carried swords, and Christians have never been taught to avoid self defense when facing harm or threats. It all boils down to more people having never read the Bible

It's about defiance. Turning the other cheek is saying, "Strike me again, if you will. I won't be swayed by petty violence."

"Be sure to get the other one, pussy." Would be a better translation for modern times. Don't fall into the mistake of laying down and taking it when you are being actively targeted! Sass 'em a little. Call their mothers whores. Tell 'em you're glad their 401ks are now worthless if you really hate them. Call their prophet a pedophile! That kind of thing.

It’s Protestants. Protestants have essentially turned Christianity into a hippie religion.

To be fair this isn't unfounded, it's just a classic example of something being taken way too far and without any hinderance at all.

Basically the righteousness the bible preaches was in opposition of an incredibly evil world and incredibly evil acts that most people today can't even fathom. It's asking you to go from a -10 to a +2 on the "kind to the point of almost self destructive" scale, but since our society is at a +5 baseline leftists think it's asking us to go from a +5 to a +10

The hippie thing isn't completely invalid, entire point of Jesus' teachings and the new testamate was to get jews to pull back from the rigid obsession with legalism, and "mechanical" interpretation of god's word. He was trying to remind him that these rules are sacred, but they're a means to an end. An end that the jews of that time had lost sight of, and were now using the rules to embrace the opposite spirit of what god wanted.

Protestantism was essentially that again, but because the catholic church was become too rule obsessed and politically involved, martin Luther was right at his time but times have changed since then. The catholic church of today isn't what martin Luther criticized.

But the idea leftists spout that Christianity demands you throw away your self preservation instinct and throw away all forms of society is absurd. There is a lot of nuance to the bible, rules, borders, civilization, and even organized war are not outlawed, they're basically described by god as being a necessary thing to deal with our brokenness.

Christianity isn't telling you never to fight back against invaders or evildoers, it's telling you to keep an eye out to make sure you don't become the evildoer yourself, and to sometimes make exceptions if you think doing so would match the spirit of god.

Ie: "in this time, shutting down our border is necessary to protect our christian nation. If violent gangs attack us, we will use violence back. But, we don't need to intentionally target their 6 year old kids... that's too far." Or "don't nuke one city just because a lot of them live there" or "don't torture them out of revenge" etc.

Honestly for anybody who doesn't want to read the Bible, Tolkien's works are a perfect layman's lesson in this and that was by design.

Remember, when they say Net Zero, they don't mean the 1990s era "free internet" thing. They mean "we will undo the industrial revolution because our ecofascist cult of white liberal women and their simps says we're killing the earth mother and you will be forced live in neo-feudalist "15 minute" villages for the rest of your very short lives as penance." (They, of course, will be living on private islands flying around on private jets with AI powered robot slaves to tend to their every whim.)

There should be a program where government officials go door to door and ask people if they would like to participate in the "Net Zero" program, and then if they agree, throttle the shit out of every one of their amenities. Limit their power consumption, food consumption, internet consumption, phone consumption, everything that effects the environment. Then throttle them down to zero around September so they can feel what it's going to be like when winter comes calling.

Write an essay that says "because it's my fucking job" and leave it at that

I thought it meant "Treat me as an equal not as a slave".
