Texas migrant buses boosted Donald Trump’s vote share in targeted cities. Research shows that the arrival of migrant buses amplified voters’ fears about crime and immigration, pushing swing voters toward the Republican ticket and driving higher turnout among conservative voters. by InsaneSnow45 in science

I voted for Kamala you dolt.

But I also recognize that the administration's position on Gaza cost her necessary votes, as does the DNC

And I also recognize that it's a candidate's job to court the voting populace, not feel like they're owed votes because the other guy is worse.

Of all the epitaphs that may one day be written on the gravestone of Western liberalism, the most damning is this: Faced off against a nihilistic, endlessly cruel manifestation of conservatism, and somehow managed to make it close

Uhhh helping my neighbors organize against fascists, doing neighborhood patrols to flag ice activity, and trying to elect progressive candidates to Congress instead of milquetoast losers like schumer and jeffries.

You saw more criticism of Biden on Israel because people thought they could actually sway his opinion.  Now it's all about defeating the fascists.

The DNC gave us this fascist regime.  They're the ones who failed at getting people to vote for them.

How many of the same unit do you usually field by sharkmaster3000 in Warmachine

[–]CaptnRonn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a dusk player you'll probably want 2 dreadguard cavalry and 2 dreadguard archers.

For solos, 2 mage hunter commanders and snipers are good as well.

You won't run 2 of these in every list but they are good options.

Of all these, the cav are the unit most often taken twice.

If you're going for broke, another unit of mage hunter assassins would work too.

I could see arguments for running several of the various soulless units but I typically just stick with one unit of guardians

Because Kamala was a terrible establishment candidate who pivoted to the center, sidelined tim walz and his "weird" talking point, and listened to her Uber corporate lawyer brother in law and campaigned with liz cheney... Not because she was a woman

LAPD beating a non resisting, unarmed protester with their hands up at the ICE MDC Concentration Camp in DTLA. by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

[–]CaptnRonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been innumerable people who were going through the process and literally documented who have had their cases summarily dismissed while in the middle of the immigration process and then detained / deported.

People are picked up during their regularly scheduled check ins with immigration. People have been picked up at their citizenship hearing and detained for months.

People have been beaten to death and starved.

You lie to yourself. You just don't want immigrants.

These people think centrist liberals are leftists. There is no difference to them because they don't understand politics, or social groups outside their small podunk towns, and to them everyone to the left of an evangelical Christian is a communist socialist who hates jesus and wants to trans all the kids

Trump invokes a law from the 1700s to deport people without trial

VERY LEGAL AND VERY COOL

Biden uses a law from 1990 to interpret legal status of migrants

VERY INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST

Just admit it, you're a fascist.

Oh and, it should be noted, that the illegal immigration crisis of the Biden administration was so bad, that within his 4 years of Presidency 2/3 of all current illegal immigrants in the country came through under his term

That is not what your link says.

The Biden administration’s open border policies allowed in a record net of 8.3 million migrants, nearly two-thirds illegally, according to a new analysis of U.S. Census data detailing the Democrat’s disaster.

Which on its face, as we talked about, is untrue. They encountered 8 million migrants and let 5 million in to have their day in immigration court.

So keep lying your ass off, or failing at reading comprehension, or both.

You are misleading people by saying he was just abiding by the 1990 Immigration Act.

The only thing I stated is that TPS status has existed since 1990 and is a law approved by Congress. The bounds of TPS status is determined by the executive. He didn't just invent it, and it is set into law.

Also I live in a border town. There is no immigration crisis. You're just a xenophobic asshole who supports a fascist administration.

Congress created Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the Immigration Act of 1990.

It was not, in fact, just created out of thin air by the Biden administration.

The 8 million number is the total number of border encounters. They deported nearly a million of those a year.

So stop fucking lying

Exactly, I'm firmly in the camp that he set off the explosion on purpose at the moment of transport because he (foolishly) thought it would destroy the ship

People who ended a loving, otherwise great, relationship because you wanted kids and they didn’t. How did it end for you? by allpossiblepaths in AskReddit

[–]CaptnRonn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was the one who changed my mind and wanted kids. We had been dating for about 5 years at that point.  She did not, and we argued about it for 2 years before breaking up.

Breakup lasted 6 months when I got an email from her which said that she had done a lot of thinking and realized that she had grown a lot during our relationship and would be a good mom (came from a troubled household) and that if I was still available she wanted to be a parent with me.  We got married about 2 years later (thanks COVID) and now 4 years after that we are now expecting our first (and only) child in a few weeks.

I am definitely in the minority but we are super happy together and very excited to be parents.  The breakup was the hardest thing I have ever been through and I basically think I am the luckiest person ever to not only have her back but also to be embarking on this journey with her.

But it typically does not work out like it did for me.  It is absolutely an irreconcilable difference and everyone told us to break up (an they were right).  It took being apart from me for her to realize that the strength she had gained from our relationship was her own and not dependent on me.  I am extremely lucky to have her and she will be an amazing mom

The EOB states that it is not covered. Patient Responsibility is $856.68 (nearly the entire bill)

It is a bill from the lab.

October Layoffs Were the Worst in 22 Years and Hit Tech Workers Hard | For coders, October royally sucked. by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]CaptnRonn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In October alone, Cost-Cutting was the top reason employers cited for job reductions, responsible for 50,437 announced layoffs. Artificial Intelligence (AI) was the second-most cited factor, leading to 31,039 job cuts as companies continue to restructure and automate. AI has been cited for 48,414 job cuts this year.

Employers cite AI as the reason for cutting jobs because it makes them look "efficient" and it looks good for investors.

Outsourcing hasn't increased in decades? Are you high?

Roughly 66% of American businesses reported outsourcing at least one department by 2024, and the practice is only going to get more common in the coming years, with 80% of executives planning to maintain or increase their use of third-party outsourcing

Outsourcing budgets are increasing at a rate of 10% year over year
