What do you mean “refused”? Any time they have a warrant for a civilian, you don’t get to fucking refuse.

Mother fucker still doesn’t know how tariffs work.

Their sales will actually go up as more people on either side arm themselves. The rich get richer, the machine of death keeps rolling.

It’s the same fucking people. 80 year olds sitting in power right now were in power then, too.

They didn’t wake up this way, they’ve won through incrementalism and can now go mask off.

He saved that woman’s life, but I cannot imagine how she feels right now. I would be sick with survivor’s guilt.

My area isn’t doing shit, but that doesn’t mean I’m not.

You don’t know me. I’d wager you don’t know any of the people you hurl such a poor excuse for an activist comment at.

I’m willing to bet that I’ve done more to fight back against fascism this week than you have your whole life and I wasn’t even born in the US.

Gotcha. Thank you for answering.

fight back

Define, please.

I’m not being glib here. I hear people chant for people to “fight back” and I honestly want to know what they think that looks like.

If protesting, filming, following them, warning others, blocking their entry into places, etc doesn’t count to you, what does?

Again; I’m asking in earnest.

This is how he’s always conducted “business”.

Threaten to destroy something, thinks that he’s pulled the “value” down as a result, then “offer a deal”. This is just how he operates.

He never had the intention or ability to take control of Greenland. He just wants to force them to the table.

Chin up, shoulders back, still tough, cuz Black don’t crack!

It’s like fucking 4chan is running the goddamned country.

Sounds like good ol’ Austin behavior!

I love excel, personally. I’m a big ol’ nerd and love putting shit in a spreadsheet.

It’s so bizarre seeing people capitulate to toddler tantrums. We’re all being held hostage by an ipad kid.

It’s crazy that I’m kinda hoping for a civil war, at this point. I don’t see any way out of this that isn’t an armed conflict.

I didn’t come here until I was a teen and I was deposited into a state that is pretty hostile to everything that I am. My wife came to the US when she was 17 and its been a struggle for her since day 1.

I am so beyond exhausted.

We’ve been in a cold civil war for years now. It’s just getting hotter and hotter.

I’ve been to marches that were literally planned by children afraid of their futures and boomer men showed up with guns to scare them.

I seriously cannot picture this happening. More of Trump’s dementia addled Twitter rambling. Even the puppets pulling his strings wouldn’t want this.

I mean, crazier shit has happened, but I see the US going full Handmaid’s Tale long before I see them invading a self-governed nation full of almost exclusively white people.

My money would be on Russia making that play before the US.

Just took a look at Costa Rica’s residency requirements:

• Pensionado (Retiree): $1,000+/month pension.
• Rentista (Fixed Income): $2,500+/month from investments/business.
• Investor: $150,000+ investment in real estate, stocks, etc.
• Nómada Digital (Digital Nomad): $3,000+/month income from foreign sources.

Sigh…

I do think “digital nomad” options are fairly new for a number of countries and that may be my best bet. My field doesn’t really have virtual jobs, but my wife’s does.

That has been what I’ve found. Over 35, no degree, no savings? lol get fucked.

Best I’ve been able to find is Uruguay, but languages have always been really hard for me.
