You still fall into it

But Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese

Etc

Yeah, suppose so. Though i think when you see it alot of the time its just a overbearing attempt to be polite or PC.

Honestly i just wish identity politics would not be a thing, or at least less of a thing. People frothing at the mouth over it, on both sides, just makes me want to go deaf to the world sometimes.

Well thats probably a result of mixing

Like why alot of spanish have a slightly darker tone

And why Scandinavians are often enough 'very' white.

Looked up some Tommy stuff since Shiv posted he really gets misrepresented.

He really embarasses himself here,"Whats wrong with my accent? The way i talk? My backround?" And then talks about his backround in Luten, and alot of emotional outcry.

Seems to be more reasonable when he's being calm then my impression of him, but he says and does alot of really rather stupid shit here and there.

Have to admit, i appreciate her style if nothing else.

The way she sits in that chair.

Well he keeps saying "Why do you love Obama?"

And she keeps saying "I dont."

Also keeps asking why she didnt march for something a significant number of years ago

And she looks.... 20ish?

She was a fucking teen

Apparantly.

She doesnt appear to be a Obama lover at all.

Which doesnt suprrise me actually, considering what she said

If she's the kind of leftist that calls themselves a 'literal communist' then it'd be weird if she liked Obama.

The 'Abolishing ICE' part of her platform is i think the only part that caught me off guard.

That being a thing in general caught me off guard.

I get wanting to change how it operates, okay. But just killing it?

Doesnt feel like the idea was thought through.

I wouldnt call it rambling

But somebody said it in public

People for some reason thought "This is a good idea!"

And uh

We ended up here?

??

Im honestly quite confused.

How they actually ended up stating 'Abolish ICE' as part of their platform.

Do they? I remembr when i first saw it, i skimmed over, and mistook "ICE" for the 'DEA' (I was tired or something)
But then i saw it again, googled ICE, and was very confused.

Abolishing ICE would be both very difficult/Alot of work, and i likely not gain them the result they want

I wonder how many people have that misconception

Because that's a entirely seperate agency

?

We arent talking about people who love CNN though.

This comes from the 'Justice Democrats' and what's her name, Ocasio Cortez

Yeah i got that name right.

These are people in a similar camp to Bernie

Not Clinton

Ocasio Cortez? I cant imagine she does. She must at least know the gist (IE; Google search) of what they do if she put it in writing as part of her platform

"Ocasio-Cortez wants to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and believes there should be a "clear" path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants.

"As overseen by the Trump administration, ICE operates with virtually no accountability, ripping apart families and holding our friends and neighbors indefinitely in inhumane detention centers scattered across the United States," Ocasio-Cortez said on her website.

She also wants more protections for young unauthorized immigrants known as "Dreamers" and immigrants who have temporary protections from deportation."

I dont think so?

I believe she has the correct understanding of ICE here?

Well, eh, maybe.
If you actually ended up abolishing ICE, it'd be a big job, and you'd probably end up changing the rules that make ICE do this in the first place

But again, it's much easier to simply reform ICE

Then kill it

Here's something she was handing out, summary of her platform

What do you have in mind other then 'Abolish ICE'?

Im not.

Her group are anti war, but very pro treating veteran mental problems more seriously/consistently then they have been.

Well its politics, they can call it a 'universal job guarentee'

but it wont play out like that.

The describing text just says 'living minimum wage'

Also in terms of what they actually talk about, i dont really ever hear 'universal job guarentee'

It's usually just minimum wage stuff

She probably wants the 15$ minimum wage

I dont follow.

Depends. Unemployment from minimum wage hikes are usually only short term, so long as the hike is found to be tolerable.

Yeah but if you sit down and think about it, it'd be better to repurpose the agency. I guess you could kill the agency and move the personnel to something else, but just exploding it and calling it a day

would be pretty pointless

That seemed to be the general idea i saw until very recently

Dunno where the 'Abolish ICE' people came from honestly.

Im going to assume the fad will fade sooner or later.

Some of it can be called 'common sense' like universal backround checks

Limiting the magazine to this or that, or making strange rules for what is and isnt allowed though

Not so much

Plastic. Dyed black. Presumably?

Im a Canadian thats never been near a fired gun

But Jesus christ man

This is embarassing

Well they did say 'temporary'

I think they were just genuinely shaken by the experience.

And failed to describe that well

Still, being so terrified of a firearm you yourself are firing is quite embarassing

I dunno

Maybe actually knowing how a gun works mechanically

Really dispels alot of this

He probably has zero idea

... Is it?

Long term irritability rarely happens for healthy reasons

Often its due to stress

Isnt that the thing they mount on the Kodiak?

(The bushmaster)

Yeah, it is.

Nope, 25mm M242

Seems like it.

I cant.

Maybe you have individual permissions?

Yup, that's what i get.

That gif reminds me too much of Mirror B.

My childhood.

That's not because those liberals stopped existing you know.

The Anarcho-Communists dont want communism to be associated with stalinism/maoism anymore :p
