  • I don't believe that. Not the same America that elected Obama. I think Trump's first term convinced people he wouldn't be that bad compared to a party that tried to do a "Weekend at Bernie's" with their candidate. This is a different Trump than we had last time. This one is willing to do every word of what he says. And that caught people by surprise.

  • In this specific case? We've spent the last two decades watching overly broad anti terrorism laws get passed under the implicit agreement they wouldn't be abused. Then comes Trump. Americans have been asleep at the wheel since the 1970's. That's part of why right wing rhetoric keeps getting more extreme. They need to keep their voting base engaged. Most people don't want anything to do with politics. If that doesn't change then no amount of reform will prevent us from voting ourselves out of a democracy.

  • I'd believe it all except you leave out any details. Almost like this is a canned response for any allegation of ICE detaining Puerto Ricans. Because to be clear, a simple Google search reveals there are multiple allegations of multiple instances.

    No amount of sane washing is going to push this under the rug.

  • The official attitudes about this are interesting. In some countries they're more worried about protecting the privacy of the accused. In other countries they identify the accused because they're worried about people being disappeared.

  • Dude. He's already breaking the laws by sending people directly to CECOT. He's ignoring court orders and the need to get an order of removal for people. They're arresting people just for speaking Spanish without having a passport on them, like that Puerto Rican family.

    If they're ignoring all the rules for people who can't pony up citizenship paperwork in time then there's nothing stopping them from quickly deporting a natural born citizen. Hell, anyone on the street without documents on their person is a valid target under the observed tactics.

    They are not being honest with you.

  • Wow, nothing like a shove forward as you step back right? I got news for you buddy, this isn't the kind of thing just a few people can fix. The country actually elected him. We need to build a movement to fight this, to prevent the country from just electing the next one.

  • Pork loin is 7 dollars a pound. Ground beef is cheaper. Chicken or tofu are by far the cheapest proteins.

    And I'm sorry but you cannot survive on spinach, oranges, pork, rice, and beans. Not to mention that rice is a 20 minute cook and dried beans take literal hours.

    You can't just say something is cheap when the knock is time, money, and mental energy. You sound like those yuppis born into money, just telling people to buy a house to get on the financial freedom train.
