Ah, my bad, I misread, I thought they said he was a US citizen. I've seen people making that claim and wanted to correct it

At least in jail, they get food.

For now. There's already reports of immigrant detainees being starved.

Just for clarity, he's not a citizen. He did have a legal protected status which was supposed to allow him to remain here or at the very least not be deported to specifically El Salvador. Still fucked, but just want to get the facts straight.

EDIT I misunderstood, he is a citizen of El Salvador, but not the US. I'd seen people claiming he was a US citizen and wanted to correct that.

"But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

-12th Amendment

Also, succession skips other people who would be ineligible, as the requirements for being a member of the House allow people who are ineligible to be President to serve as Speaker of the House, who is otherwise 3rd in line.

Oh it did, they fed it data from Stack Overflow.

School vouchers are actually terrible. They take funding from already struggling schools and give it to private institutions which already don't have to follow many of the policies outlined above (they can discriminate in a lot of ways that public schools can't). They also mostly end up being a subsidy for the wealthy.

Oh, you didn't hear? He doesn't care about that anymore. Says the rest of us should stop whining about it.

And remember, their entire reasoning for putting him there was that the military was too "woke" and that that was harming its readiness.

Small note for the summary: "probationary" in terms of government employees does not necessarily mean new, it means new in that role.

So, someone who has been working for the government for 20 years and was just promoted to a senior position is a probationary employee.

Except it doesn't

Ah, looks like you're correct, I guess I got the claims conflated myself.

Let's assume for a second that the claims about the MMR vaccine had merit. It was specifically claimed that the cause was the addition of thimerosal as a preservative agent. Despite there being no evidence supporting this assertion, thimerosal was removed from nearly all vaccines decades ago. Which means that, if he was genuine in his beliefs, he shouldn't have a problem with any of them anymore.

EDIT It appears the thimerosal claim wasn't actually linked to MMR, as that vaccine never had it to begin with. My bad.

He is a citizen. Now, there is some evidence he may have obtained that citizenship under false pretenses, but as of now he is legally a US citizen.

He legitimately might not remember. Someone asked him about calling Zelensky a dictator today and his response was "Did I say that? I can't believe I said that." And that was something he said just over a week ago.

It's a shot across the bow. It gets people organizing and coordinating. Once people start working together on something, you can then direct that and focus long term on a boycott of, say Amazon.

Yeah, I'm not declaring victory yet. Celebrate the wins where we get them, but this is far from over. We have successfully thrown some sand in the gears, but there is still a lot of damage that can be done. This coup is ongoing, popular support be damned. He's not going to stop trying as long as he's in office.

Pearson has been operating like that for decades. I had similar issues with their online homework systems ~15 years ago.

No, it didn't, but it is still regarded as the inciting incident that brought the US into the war. Stop apologizing for Trump being an idiot.

This isn't some obscure statistic or random battle that he is ignorant of. It's literally the inciting incident that got the United States to join the war. The Japanese forces launched a sneak attack on the US there, that's literally all he needed to know.

You either don't understand that either, in which case you're showcasing your own ignorance, or you're making excuses for him, in which case you're a sycophant and can be disregarded.

They're offended by being called out. Doesn't matter what it's about, it's just the being called out that's the problem.
