You deciding to grow food on your own land was sufficient to be considered impacting interstate commerce for the purpose of the federal government being allowed to intervene. Low level terrorists harassing citizens, intimidating them, and demanding papers all the while local and state government enable them is so absurdly within the realm of federal government purview only a retarded activist judge would say otherwise. Which of course they would right before letting all the petty terrorists out with no bail requirement.

But better to do that and force the supreme court to make an absurd ruling radically limiting the power of the federal government or win and begin mass arresting every time they pull this stunt.

Sometimes I legitimately feel like the caveman meme. Why aren't things simple anymore? What happened? Why is it that you can't simply arrest someone when you have video of them committing a crime?

Grog just thinks bad people should go into the bad people cave, simple as.

I think your missing the forest for the trees, this isent an "up for debate issue" as to IF its happening

Colleges are already realzing there isent enough students being born to sustain their "buisness model"

the birth rate is already in free fall, so im not trying to discount your anecdotal evidence but the "boots on the ground" situation is half of gen z guys aged 18-25 say they have never even talked to a woman in a romantic way EVER, thats terrifying.

The current student slump is commonly attributed to the baby slump during the 08 financial crisis, also more 'college level intelligence' young adults are starting trades or their own businesses instead of college.

I'd have to see the specific questions they gave for that 45% number. Also "never asked a girl out in person" =/= never spoke to a girl romantically. Among zoomers it's common to know a girl irl and start flirting over text before you explicitly say or do anything in person. Young people are extremely self conscious and zoomer men are often afraid of being labeled 'weird' for approaching women irl. It's bad, but not as bad as you're making it out.

Ted Budd better have a reason for why he sided with the Democrats. Maybe leaving a message at his office will result in him putting out a press release.

It turns out he did put out a press release on his voting decision:
“Yesterday, I opposed a procedural vote for the appropriations package over the inclusion of several troubling earmarks. Unfortunately, not enough Senators supported stripping them out.

“While my concerns about these earmarks remain, I agree with President Trump that Congress must avert a government shutdown, and I voted to advance this bipartisan package that will benefit North Carolina’s military families, infrastructure, and disaster recovery.

“Because our state is still recovering from Hurricane Helene and faces an onslaught of severe winter weather, I would have preferred the pre-negotiated full-year appropriations for DHS stay in this package. Still, advancing stopgap funding for DHS ensures that core agency components, including immigration enforcement agencies, FEMA, the Coast Guard, and the TSA, can continue their missions over the next two weeks.”

The news cycle has been orbiting Trump for over a decade at this point. Like a star, a beautiful, huge star, bigger than any star you've ever seen, giving them life with his shining golden rays. We like that. So it's not just Trump himself giving him unwarranted self importance. They need him. They need him to act bigly so that they can bitch about it and I'm at the point where I don't mind the Prince of Orange leaning into it if you wanna know the troof about it.

I have reached a similar point. When people get all outraged about shit now I just shrug and say "Well, the people elected him a second time, they knew what they were getting. So... *shrug*... might as well enjoy the ride and laugh."
