I'm sorry, why the fuck are we talking about taking Greenland when the Trump admin has literally 10 months left before becoming a lame duck? There has been absolutely no indication that they are even interested in securing power beyond 2028, and morale among the right is completely gone. They should have spent the past year kicking the third worlders out and arresting those responsible for importing them, now it's looking to be too late.

I think Trump is doing it so you have more material to doompost about since it's been so lean for you lately

I think most of our current immigrant problem comes from student visas where the people graduate then just stay here and visitors who overstay.

I agree 100%
There are zombie universities which should have gone under years ago but are staying afloat with jeets and Africans, and hire only jeets and Africans. Look at some of these obscure schools graduation ceremonies, they look like little Mumbai. Its a hostile takeover. Jeets are making degree mills in the US now.

Pairing this with the 11th Airborne, I think we’re going to see some shit go down in Minnesota. Probably not a hot civil war though.

If I were to offer a prediction, I think they're going to arrest either Frey or Walz for obstruction/conspiracy to impede. They issued subpoenas yesterday and might've found something incriminating in internal communications. If this is the case, they're likely expecting riots in response. I could very well be wrong but it seems logically consistent enough.

Andor is really fucking good. Leftists trying to use it to make a statement about modern politics aside. It's a fantastic show and well executed on every level.
But you have a SW pfp so your taste is shit. Can't help with that.

I can't even imagine what someone who calls something like Andor "slow" would call The Sopranos. Not that I'm comparing the two, Andor is good but obviously not that good. It's just an example.

The average Star Wars fan is blissfully unaware that the Democrats are the Empire, MAGA/the populist-right is like those Separatist-derived factions of the Rebel Alliance and we live in the bizarro timeline where the first Death Star was taken out by a Vulture Droid

its stupid to start bitching about individual welfare queens in section 8 (who are not even comparable to the somali fraud) when you have exactly what you're complaining about on a nearly organized scale with these insular communities.

apparently black people don't have a culture of exploiting EBT and they benefits now despite that being a well known thing for over 50 years and the reason why black people are on the Democrat plantation

its pathetic at this point

you also clearly didnt read the article you cited

Still, the Census Bureau’s latest poverty estimates, based on the 2005-9 American Community Survey released last year, do not take into account the community’s tradition of philanthropy and no-interest loans. Moreover, some families may be eligible for public benefits because they earn low salaries from the religious congregations and other nonprofit groups that run businesses and religious schools. Nearly half of the village’s residents with jobs work for the public or parochial schools.

“If people want to work in a religious setting and make less than they would earn at B & H, that’s a choice people make,” said Gedalye Szegedin, the village administrator, referring to the giant photo and video retail store in Manhattan whose owner and many of whose employees are members of the Satmar sect.

“I don’t want to be judgmental,” Mr. Szegedin added. “I wouldn’t call it a poor community. I would say some are deprived. I would call it a community with a lot of income-related challenges.”

All of which prompts a fundamental question: Are as many as 7 in 10 Kiryas Joel residents really poor?

“It is, in a sense, a statistical anomaly,” Professor Helmreich said. “They are clearly not wealthy, and they do have a lot of children. They spend whatever discretionary income they have on clothing, food and baby carriages. They don’t belong to country clubs or go to movies or go on trips to Aruba.

“They’re not scrounging around, though. They’re not presenting a picture of poverty as if you would go to a Mexican neighborhood in Corona. They do have organizations that lend money interest-free. They’re also supported by members of the community who are wealthier — it’s not declarable income if somebody buys them a baby carriage.”

David Jolly, the social services commissioner for Orange County, also said that while the number of people receiving benefits seemed disproportionately high, the number of caseloads — a family considered as a unit — was much less aberrant. A family of eight who reports as much as $48,156 in income is still eligible for food stamps, although the threshold for cash assistance ($37,010), which relatively few village residents receive, is lower.

It's funny how absolutely nobody is complaining about the ACA biden covid thing going away since it mostly only was helping people that could easily afford the increased premiums anyway. That was a total scam of gaslighting to fear monger for sure.

shit makes my bloodboil, coming after a guy ALONE for the great crime of wearing the nation he is in flag on his back and is threatened with PHYSICAL HARM, if he dosent remove it.

you couldent come up with a more faggy premise than that if you tried.

Going to take a few deep breaths and not fedpost but holy shit, thats the kind of shit we have to lock arms about, people need to come RUNNING if that kind of talk is brandished.

I want to circle back to this with a slightly more level head. I know the man in the video appeared brown, maybe even indian, ill be honest in that moment all I saw was an american in need of help, call me a brown lover, a hypocrite, whatever

My grandpa was in the guard back in the 60s, he was slightly up on the command chain, thats all I wanna say, posted "just south enough of Mobile they dont mark it on maps" my grandpa told me the story of a time him and his buddies were out at a local tavern having some libations (allegedly) and a towny came up and started to give a senior memeber of my grandpas unit guff for "drinking with white men"(he was black) my grandpa then told me that without a word every other (white to a man) individual got up from the table and proceeded to "beat the tar" out of the towny.

My grandpa told me that story when I was a very young man and its stuck with me to this day.

Our beef with is niggers not black people and I guess that gets lost in translation

I could be way off and making a point based on nostalgia but please let me show one stat as an example

we need to start locking arms with the good ones, you want to beat on the jeet with the American flag, your going to need to go through my white self first.

Hope this lands the way I want it to, not defending browns, just the good ones who go through the right channels and play the game like white men do, they are few and far between but they exist.

I don't understand the praise for Andor. I tried watching the first episode and nearly fell asleep. I heard it was a "slow burn" show but it was just shit to me. Is it because the main character is Space Che Guevara? I know these Redditors have a fetish for the Gormans. I think it is hilarious that these leftards always dispute the existence of conspiracy theories in reality but can grasp the government pulling off a false flag operation in a television show.

I could go on and on about this show. It's a "gritty take" on star wars which for me kind of sits between something i like and something I find extremely gay. I definitely hadn't the childish vibe of the disney trilogy and wanted something more old school EU like but andor kind of goes way too far with it and gets masturbatory.

You're also correct that the show is boring as fuck and while i do think the slow burn works sometimes the show is not nearly as good as it thinks it is. It's stuck up its own ass to a tarintino degree.

The real world parallells are obnoxiously on the nose. Lucas took things from history and smashed them together. Take geonosians for example:
Geonosis_arena.webp
Geonosians are bugs who fight in a roman collosseum and speak a subsaharan african style language with clicks, with a collectivist culture and are aligned with a confederacy, that wants to seperate from a republic. Everything in lucas' star wars is all over the place like this and it's better for it.
Meanwhile in andor, there's a planet that is france. The architecture is french, they have french accents, they have a lot of sexy french girls, they're occupied by the empire (germany) who plays kind of nice with them, they're known for artsy fashion, they have a resistance that hides underground and communicates through radios using code language. It's exactly fucking france in world war 2. That's how andor handles every parallel, there's also an entire 3 episode arc about an ice operative raping an illegal brown woman on a farm.

All of that is kind of irrelevant though because the simple fact is that they clearly want to paint the picture that authoritarianism is bad at a time when really we need more of it. It's very clear that for the writers the empire = america, palpatine = trump, mon monthma = every wine aunt who think she's saving the world, and andor is an illegal immigrant.

Though despite the writer's obvious intent the show fails even at being political propaganda. Every reddit thread and film critic has said this show is a warning against fascism when really it's about authoritarianism. The empire in this show is no more fascist than it is communist, that is to say we don't know anything about how they handle property rights, there's no evidence of them glorifying the past (in fact they hate the old republic and the jedi), they don't solve things through a "strong must rule" system but rather a "always obey the system" system which it has in common with communism. Palpatine doesn't plaster his face everywhere which is extremely disappointed for somebody like him.

The entire message of Andor boils down to: people in power are bad and you have to fight them. This message is 100% aimed at for leftists who hate trump, but it's just as applicable to right wingers who hate the EU, right wingers in Canada, atheists in Iran, chinese who hate the CCP, anybody living in north korea, etc.

Basically it's the most reddit show ever made.

Firmly don’t think everyone has grasped how bad China’s population crisis is. They’re set to be losing an entire nation’s worth of people yearly for decades.

Honestly, while I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it, I think there may be something to all those people who think China's lying about how big their population is to begin with. Maybe not by dramatic numbers or anything, but they lie about everything else. Chinese and Indian cultures are remarkably similar in certain places, although China is nowhere near as retarded about Face as India is, it's still a big thing for them.
