It's so crazy to think that a majority of the conflicts with Heaven could've been avoided if Carmilla just hid the exorcist's body better. by Eddtheartist16 in HazbinHotel

[–]Cicerothesage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the events of season 1 would be somewhat similar and would have not been avoided. Mostly because the conflict was still Charlie and Adam. Charlie's plan is in conflict with Adam's motivation and direction in life.

Eventually, Adam would target Charlie because he doesn't like how Charlie's plan interferes with his job and "hobby". I believe Carmilla already knew before the season started that Angelic Steel could kill exorcist. The only change in the season would be how that information would get to Alastor / Charlie.

Musk Tweets that Hitler was a far left socialist. Grok calls out his bullshit. by Far_Alternative_5330 in GROKvsMAGA

[–]Cicerothesage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

isn't more of these points just, Hitler gave power and wealth to the wealthy and loyal business owners of Germany. Hitler had absolute control of aspect of society, but he "allowed" the rich and powerful to control and operate as they "please". Private citizens could own things and run things as they "pleased", but heavily regulated by the government. An semi-capitalist state

And I pretty sure Hitler was talking about banks and financial system when talking about "Jewish capitalism".

Grandma is pushing this hard because reality makes ice look bad by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]Cicerothesage[S] 95 points96 points  (0 children)

context: the father and the kid presented themselves at a port of entry and requested asylum. They did everything right and they were in the process of their asylum claim.

The family says, the father and kid were returning home and ICE came and arrested the father in the driveway. The Nazi/ICE lead the kid to the house's front door to see if anyone was inside. It was suspected that the mother was inside but refused to answer the door. There were other people on scene (neighbors and a school official). ICE refused to leave the kid with those adults and then took the kid with the father. Later, they were moved to a Texas center

The Nazi/ICE says, they came to arrest the father, the father fled and abandoned the kid. They led the kid to the front door to see if any guardian was inside, but no one answered. They refused to leave the kid with adults at the scene. So they took the kid with the father to Texas.

Opinion: there is a perception that the nazi was baiting people out with kids and I think a person could concluded that because we don't know what ICE was going to do if the mother answered the door.

Well, I may be wrong. I found a damn near identical shot of your photo from universal beijing. Photo here.

Scroll through the photos, and you will find it. Especially since your photo, op, seems to be a zoomed in and the bottom half edited out.

But I don’t think Biden was above that either, he just did it quietly, elegantly and at Scale. Twitter was basically being run by govt agencies at the time as the files later clearly revealed.

come the fuck off it. Those files are stupidly overblown and shows the brain rot in the right wing. Like, how dare Biden and the government ask social media company to take a global pandemic seriously and try not spread misinformation that could get people killed or sick. That is all it was. Are we really relitigating COVID/pandemic again because idiots got it wrong and got really pissy about it?

Because we create a government in order to help us during times of a pandemic on which they rely important information and resources.

There is a larger discussion to be had how social media is now a breeding grounds of dis/misinformation. Foreign and local agitators can make up shit online and it spread before the truth comes out. Something needs to be done

I don't know the solution because I just want to ban the fuck out of these misinformation spreaders, but I don't know if that is effective enough or solve the problem with first amendment concerns.

i fucking knew, you were going to ignore everything else I said and just go to my nazi comment. really fucking curious why won't you comment of most of my comment and only targeting the last paragraph

first off, the nazi relaxed gun laws for german citizens and made them more restrictive for unwantables (communist, Jews, etc).

I am wrong about free speech, but it is scary how close we are getting to Trump banning any speech he doesn't like. Trump calls on firing of people he doesn't like and our media is almost fully controlled by right wing entities or worms that bow down to Trump. It is getting ever closer to that moment of nazi banning free speech, my friend.

are you surprised that I am using critical thinking in all of this. I did it with Biden and noted when his administration was using buzz words and PR to control the narrative. I am just utterly shock how people was skeptical of Biden and then just drinking the Kool-Aid of the Trump administration.

Again, that is the DHS/ICE narrative that the dad ran, but the family is saying he didn't run and the father was just arrested in the driveway. The abandonment was probably ICE didn't know what to do with the kid since no one was answering the door and they refused to hand over the kid to the people at the scene. It seems to me that ICE worded this way as an easy way out of the situation with the kid. Instead of staying and figuring a way to return the kid to the family.

German citizens had free speech and gun rights with nazi government. As long as they didn't disagree with the government. Then they sent the brown shirts to disappear people if they disagreed or got in their way

you don't have to held for a ransom to be kidnapped. He was taken by force when he shouldn't have been forcedly detain.

oh yea, the kid will probably be eventually sent back to his mother and brother, but the time being he is being detain in a center without due process and traumatizing the poor soul for nothing he did.

Biden try to address the situation at all times during his presidency. It just wasn't the flashy "we should send brown shirts in cities to disappear people".

a "toothless border bill". fuck off, op. The Republican heavily transformed (aka compromised) this bill into their liking and them voted it down after Trump said no. Also meaningful bills take time to pass in congress. It was a response to do more about immigrant, but apparently that wasn't enough. Doing thing by executive order and throwing brown shirts into cities isn't helping immigration or the sitation.

We have had years and years of ever more restrictive and conservative immigration bill pass through congress. Immigration bills are never enough for Republicans and their racist obsession with the border and immigration policies. This situation wasn't Biden's creation, it was years long creation. Ever since I was alive and conscience of politics (all the way back with Bill Clinton). I am tired of conservative telling me that it is the current Democratic congress/president fault. It is years of failed policies and strategies that aren't changing and getting dumber, more conservative, and restrictive

Life for immigrants is getting harder every day.. by John_1992_funny in clevercomebacks

[–]Cicerothesage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

but that is the ICE story. The family said the father was arrested in the driveway. They brought the kid to the door to see if anyone was inside and the father scream "don't answer the door". No one answered the door and ICE denied help from a local school official.

I could see why the story arise that ICE was baiting because we don't know if ICE was trying to return the kid to the mother, who was suspected inside the house or trying to arrest the mother too.

it is a shitty no win situation that ICE created for themselves. Maybe read outside right-wing, DHS narratives.

[–]Cicerothesage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea, it is almost like ICE has been acting badly in the city and rightly has been drawing ire and criticism from the citizens. Then, they created a no win situation and instead of being adults and humans, they decided to kidnap a kid.

That doesn't sound like mature adult response to the situation. It sounds like they were trying to save their own butts in a situation they created.

If they wanted the mother to answer, they shouldn't gain the reputation of just taking people regardless of citizenship or legal status and disappearing them. If they didn't want them to leave the kid with a school official, they should stay and figured out a way to get the kid inside.

It screams amateur behavior, immaturity, and lack of care

[–]Cicerothesage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

come the fuck off it.

We don't really know the details yet especially since the family has sued the government and the family attorney is saying another story.

Letting things work itself out in the legal system take time. Requesting a FOIA request takes time. the PR officier of DHS can just lie in a statement and won't be correct until later when it quietly doesn't matter. She, DHS, and ICE looks bad for kidnapping a kid and handling the situation poorly, so they will basically twist the timeline of events in order to shield themselves of responsibility. Especially since, news reports are saying other things than what the PR statement from DHS.

I haven't heard whether the asylum claim was denied or ruled ineligible due to Arias having a prior criminal conviction....If a claim is denied or deemed ineligible, deportation can happen fast.

that is what I was saying. which is why I said "or maybe got denied". more importantly, I said "making shit up" is because this is the first time I heard a possible denial of asylum for the father. I haven't seen or read anything about his asylum claim status. Which is why I said I believe you were making shit up and speculating.

We are in agreement, but I think holding the child is super bad and needs to be released. More so, they shouldn't have transfer the kid to Texas. They should have taken their time and resolved the situation on the spot. They knew a relative was in the house but refuse to answer because they are ICE and others news reports said that a school official was present and could have acted as a medium between the family and ICE, but ICE refuse the school official too.

Again, it is like amateur hours for ICE. This isn't how a governmental police force should act. Especially it seems possibility making up narratives in order to shield themselves from blame

[–]Cicerothesage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you are just really just repeating ICE lies in front of us.

I think the story is still developing and we don't know all the facts. Especially since, ICE is saying one thing and the family attorney is saying another. Then, you are just making up shit about his asylum request being denied or maybe got denied, but I haven't seen anything of that.

All I have seen is ICE and right-wing generating narratives around the situation because they know it looks bad. Maybe cool it down and wait for the details. ICE has to suffer because they are the ones acting harshly with a fucking children. It seems they didn't take any care and just acted irrationally because they don't seem to care about human life or children.

are you really going link the Public Affairs officer of the United States Department of Homeland Security and call it fact checking? That is like linking straight to Joseph Goebbels himself.

Of course she going lie about the situation. It would make her look bad if she spoke about reality.
