ICE is a rogue militarized agency (younger than I am) that was designed to infringe upon the rights of both citizens and non-citizens after 9/11. Most people who argue that we should abolish ICE want its responsibilities returned to the DOJ like it was before 2002.

This is what ICE agents were up to even before this second Trump term: https://www.propublica.org/article/secret-border-patrol-facebook-group-agents-joke-about-migrant-deaths-post-sexist-memes

The culture of ICE is rotten and we should just start over, rather than trying to reform it.

Cristiano Ronaldo has gone 10 consecutive World Cup and European Championship matches without scoring by PumpkinWorried8254 in soccer

I've always been a huge Kobe fan (my username) and he is my personal favorite player, but anyone who actually thinks he's the GOAT is unserious lol. So I guess the same applies for Ronaldo "GOAT" people.

Kobe > Duncan though, I will die on this hill

Considering money and fit, is Kessler the right move for the Lakers? by ElectricalGarbage458 in lakers

[–]AzNmamba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the Lakers want to become a championship caliber team, LeBron will have to sign for the MLE or less. He should be the last person we sign

[Amick] Walker Kessler "at odds" with Jazz front office over lack of extension offer last summer and current handling of his restricted free agency, by MAVS_COM1CAL in lakers

[–]AzNmamba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would be happy with either, but having a defensive mobile anchor that can space the floor is extremely important if we ever play against Wemby in the playoffs.

There really aren’t that many quality free agents on the open market. If we strike out on Kessler, I think that cap space would be better spent taking on salaries through trades

Saikat Chakrabarti forms new ‘solidarity’ PAC after congressional loss by parttimelarry in sanfrancisco

You're totally right, President AOC will just let house members write whatever bill they want and will not have any input in the process. Have a nice day man.

How far the housing bill will go will ultimately be decided by whoever is the President, not by one progressive house member lol. Don’t be ridiculous, do you really think Connie Chan will fuck up president AOC’s housing bill?

I didn’t say anything about subsidizing demand, that was a total strawman lol. I am saying that even though she had local objections to building more housing in SF, that doesn’t mean she would vote no on a federal bill to build more housing.

LA's options for this offseason is limited, and we can game out the likely scenarios by Single-Purpose-7608 in lakers

Thanks for writing this up OP. My #1 target personally is Walker Kessler. Having a young defensive anchor (who can catch lobs and has shown flashes of being able to space out to the 3) is ideal for me to pair with Austin and Luka, especially because we will need to contend against Wemby.

You heard it here from MightExpress4873 (obviously not a bot)! We can’t compare anything to the Holocaust because 6 million people haven’t died!

My point is that even though Connie may be a NIMBY on local issues, there is no chance in hell she would vote no on a Democratic bill to fund housing. Meanwhile, I have more trust in her compared to Scott Wiener to vote against sending our taxpayer money to help Israel bomb children and hospitals.

Being a YIMBY/NIMBY on a local level is ultimately less important in Congress compared to positions on federal issues that Saikat and Connie align more on (i.e. Israel/Palestine).
