You seem to go quite a bit too far in your judgment.
Then do something to change my mind.

For example, pretend you're the one that the desperate little Palestinian girl in the following video is talking to....

https://youtu.be/c4CnoqvI_bQ

...And when she points at the bombed-out rubble all around her and cries out,...

"...what do you expect me to do?...Fix it?...I'm only 10..."

...tell me "the precise words" you would say to her in order to "encourage" her...

(as per your aforementioned "foundational view")

...not to migrate, but to stay there so that she can work on the politics and economics of her own ̶c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶r̶y̶ open-air prison.

Again, tell me precisely what you would say to her (assuming that there would be enough time to talk before you were both blown to smithereens by another American made bomb).

I do not perceive myself as involved with dark sentiments or desires.
Yes, and that's the problem we all have in that it is near impossible to see ourselves as others see us.
Alexis Jacobi wrote: Mon May 12, 2025 5:08 pm There is nothing “dark” in my sense of social policy vis-à-vis the immigration crisis of late.
Only others can be the judge of that, not you.
Alexis Jacobi wrote: Mon May 12, 2025 5:08 pm I have nothing personal against those who took advantage of the open borders.
Nah, there's nothing "personal" in applying the denigrating (pejorative) epithet "criminals" to such people.

It's just who and what they are, right?

Never mind that the biggest and most violent criminal on the planet (the U.S. government) may have destroyed the countries of those who "...took advantage of the open borders..." of America.

I thought you lived somewhere in South America.

If you don't mind revealing the information, where, exactly, do you live? (I live in Michigan.)
Alexis Jacobi wrote: Mon May 12, 2025 5:08 pm You tend to really go off on these moralizing rehearsals!
Well, first of all, these aren't "rehearsals," no, this is the real show.

Take it away, Bugs...

("...no more rehearsing and nursing a part, we know every part by heart...")

And secondly, if I tend to moralize over these issues, it's because it breaks my heart to see anyone - especially children - suffer due to the general idiocy of so-called "leaders" who are nothing more than self-serving, over-inflated bags of ego gas (some bursting at the seams like you know who).

You're no fun anymore.

Has the energy-sucking futility of arguing with BigMike for months on end, taken all your spunk away?

Play the game, for crying out loud.

When I throw a left hook to your liver, you're supposed to counter that with an upper cut, or perhaps a left hook to my jaw...

...(but no groin punches, that's BigMike's ploy, that and jumping thru the ropes and out of the ring to avoid the hard shots).

Pam Bondi Says Trump Admin. Won’t Comply with Judge’s Ruling on Deportations

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Trump administration will not comply with a federal judge’s recent ruling on deportations. She confirmed that the administration will continue to deport Venezuelan immigrants, despite the judge’s order to pause these efforts.

“These are foreign terrorists, that the president has identified them, and designated them as such, and we will continue to follow the Alien Enemies Act,” Bondi said on Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime on Monday.

The judge’s ruling came on Saturday when U.S. District Judge James Boasberg temporarily blocked President Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act, which would allow him to detain and deport people from countries considered threats without much legal process.

Bondi sharply criticized the judge for trying to intervene in the administration’s foreign policy decisions.

“He can’t do it,” she said, calling the ruling an “intrusion on the president’s authority.”

As America further spirals into a former democracy, we are indebted to Walker for keeping tabs on the regime's efforts to remove all checks and balances and rule of law by undermining the legal system that occasionally holds them to account for things.

This time we have that most epic little cuck (his wife just ran off with an immigrant drug addict called Elon) spouting:

Something must be done about these courts. District courts and now international trade courts are starting to issue these nationwide injunctions that are overreaching, unlawful, and politically motivated.

Step 4 of the Butterfly revolution is effectively done now. The Republicans are going to vote to extend the budget deficit by 5TRN dollars rendering the party effectively and finally neutered.

Luckily the declaration of martial law seems to be on hold, so step 5 of the Butterfly revolution is going slow. Sadly Trump has started punishing academic institutions

But they seem to be skipping ahead by savaging the budgets of academic intuitions, especially those that turned him down and may have turned down Barron Trump, but did host the Obama offspring...

Well, trump has now militarised policing in DC and is about to do the same in Chicago. He's telling the mayor of DC what crime figures she's allowed to publish from now on.

ICE is now funded like an army and manned like a terrorist organisation, and enemies of the president are getting raided by the FBI just for vibes. So step 5 of the butterfly revolution is pretty much done.

As for the elite media and academic institutions, well I didn't know Bert and Ernie were part of that, but apparently PBS has to go so that there can be room for PragerU in Florida classrooms.

Who would have thought that would be how American democracy would come to an end?

We'll see, won't we. DC is a bit different than Chicago. The law regarding DC allows him thirty days before needing Congressional OK.

There is no law that would him send troops into Chicago without the Governor's asking for them. And in fact, there is law forbidding (Posse Comitatus) -- unless provided for by law, what I referred to with regard to DC)

Not exactly. It’s called The National Guard … not the State Guard, and the name describes the function.

Domestically, when the incompetent Democrat-ruled governments can’t protect the citizens, the president has the duty to protect the citizens' lives and civil rights, and can step in and activate the military reserves (National Guard) … no permission from an incompetent governor who is posturing and politicking with hair-brained Leftist social policies, such as Defund The Police, is necessary for the president to do what the governors or mayors refuse to do, which is their job.

The Leftist Philosophy of … Democrats Can Destroy The Country And There’s Nothing You Can Do About It … doesn’t apply in this situation.

When the Left will not enforce laws on the books to protect the citizens, it comes down to the gun.

9 days without a murder in Washington DC? Unheard of. Get those troops out of there, the Left demands their ration of murders to keep an appropriately Democrat-level of chaos, to campaign against. They've been making the same promises for half a century or more and folks are catching on. Voters are fleeing the party, donors are the fleeing the party, fleas are fleeing the party. Just desserts.

I haven't frequented that city in years. We take our biking vacations elsewhere even though it's a great biking city. But now? We'll first see what the future brings.

I wonder what the crime rate is in North Korea? If anyone dares to break the law there, they'd probably be shot on sight. Sounds like it might be a biker's paradise to me. Apparently, democracy has proven itself to be an inferior method of running society.

Imprisoning a population is a crime even if you don’t call it that.

Bicycles are probably very popular in North Korea and sneaking into the country without permission just might get you shot as a spy, because who would be stupid enough to sneak into a country where folks are shot for trying to sneak out?

I hear in Singapore you get tossed in the can for not tossing gum in the can. This is likely because rich folks in Singapore don’t like their soles gummed up. You know those billionaires ...

True democracy is now possible with the help of technology True democracy would make tyranny of** the majority a reality.

In the representative constitutional republic of the USA …

… happy days are here again since common sense is exposing the tyranny of** the minority that has corrupted the representative process.

For example, The Democrat Party That Hates America has gerrymandered congressional districts until there isn’t much left to finagle. As a result, Republicans in Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts and other states with congressional districts that look spider webs, are drastically underrepresented in Congress, and there are a lot of Republicans in those three states. Massachusetts has no Republican reps in the House of Representatives, and Maryland has just one.


**Correction because we care: tyranny by the majority, and tyranny by the minority.

Soon, whoever has control of the army in DC will be in charge of who succeeds Trump. Does somebody perhaps fancy themselves ahead of Vance, or did Trump and Hegseth bring the soldiers in to prevent anyone using the 25th amendment too soon?

Only Trump's thrice weekly drip and his exploding cankles can tell you exactly when it all goes down.

Per the title of this thread, when it comes down to who is in control, is it a matter of good billionaires vs bad billionaires, or is it just billionaires vs billionaires? :?
