Put another shrimp on the barbie!

Agreed. On an H-1B, you’re locked into the handful of companies willing to sponsor, and switching jobs is near impossible. Seriously who gets hired in 30 days? Even 60 days is crazy short.

There are quite a lot of unhoused people who would rather remain homeless. From the conversations I’ve had, it’s not always just circumstances beyond their control. Some have had negative experiences with shelters or social services, and many feel more freedom living outside the system than being tied to its rules and restrictions. It’s not the case for everyone, but for some, homelessness is a conscious choice rather than only the result of hardship.

I was interested in this story and tried to search but couldn’t find any news articles about it. Do you have a source article about this happening?

Why shoot someone that is already dead…

Not to mention, Japan surrendered 3-4 months after Germany did.

ICE’s job of removing people who are in the country illegally is not in violation of the Constitution.

I’m only replying to the comment that you made. No need to argue in bad faith.

Deportation isn’t unconstitutional. Skipping due process is. Learn the difference.

The initial suit was brought in December 2020. These things don’t happen over night.

Real Americans do want to provide support. It’s the Russian asset and his smooth brain cult following who doesn’t.

Who? The US? That ship has saled. The Us consumer doesn’t want to pay what it costs to manufacture here as evidence of all the cheap crap everywhere and discount stores. We can’t compete with global wages, nor should we. Plus we don’t have the factories anymore.

Bullshit. Almost all of the aid given to Ukraine from the US is in the form of non-repayable grants. Ukraine doesn’t have “huge debts” to the US. Trump wants to change this.

Can’t be bothered paying our teachers a good livable salary, so we need to implement a 2hr a day AI school. Fuck this.

Chopper Dave!

Well said. I’ve had countless conversations about this as well. Either people are too ignorant to understand military aid or are arguing in bad faith. It’s kind of insane how many upvotes these comments get.

It seems like you don’t grasp the concept of military aid still. And now you are changing the subject. It’s ok to admit you don’t understand military aid and just say you used it the wrong context. Taiwan has a right to protect itself, full stop. It sounds like you are anti-American and anti-Taiwan, so I’ll end this conversation here.

I see these comments every time military aid is talked about. Military aid isn’t just sending money. It can include weapons, equipment, training, or other support to help a country defend itself or strengthen its military. Sometimes, the aid is in the form of funds, but often it’s specific resources like tanks, aircraft, or technical expertise. Believe it or not, it helps the US economy while also helping our allies protect themselves without risk to american lives. Taiwan has the right to stand up for itself, unless you are against that policy stance I’m not sure what else to say.

What Tina Peters did is clearly immoral. She tampered with voting equipment and spread lies about election fraud, which directly undermines trust in democracy. I don’t care if she thought she was doing the right thing. Breaking laws meant to protect elections is not just wrong, it’s dangerous.

Get a grip. It’s absolutely crazy to compare Tina Peters to MLK Jr., Rosa Parks, or Gandhi. These people fought against deep systemic injustice, risking their lives for civil rights and freedom. Peters’ actions, spreading lies tied to election denial and abuse of power, don’t come close to that level of sacrifice or historical importance. Trying to equate the two is a huge stretch and undermines the legacy of true leaders who changed the world for the better.

I get what you’re saying and agree, but patriotism doesn’t inherently lead to xenophobia. It can coexist with openness, respect for diversity, and global cooperation.

Patriotism is defined as love for one’s country, a sense of pride in its culture, values, and history, and a desire to contribute to its well-being. In its positive form, patriotism encourages civic responsibility, unity, and respect for a nation’s traditions without hostility toward others.

Of course in some cases it can lead to ultra-nationalism, but it doesn’t have to.
