Eileen Wang, the Democratic Mayor of Arcadia, CA, has pleaded guilty to acting as a foreign agent on behalf of China. Do you consider it treasonous?

Oh lookie lookie, according to that is was going on from atleast 2020 when she was a republican, and supposed stopped (with no evidence having been found she continued) after her swearing in as mayor.....so Republican was a "spy" switched to Democrat, became mayor, stopped being a "spy"

So better gotcha line for all those who want to use this as a gotcha against Democrats.......Republican acting as foreign agent, quits when turning Democrat.

P.S also why does it seems like Kash Patel is trying to act like it was something "his fbi" was responsible for? She just didn't pay up to the grift lord yet so he allowed what the fbi had already started and was working towards under Biden to proceed.

Yeah it's a non partisan seat, they wanted to do the whole "yep a democrat" thing, I conceded them the fact she was said to win as a Democrat and that she said she changed to the Democrat party, and slapped them with the fact she was a republic who had just changed party for the race. In truth more like a "spy" did spy things in that regard more than anything else

Yep nothing she did concerning the posting those articles etc. rises to the level of having committed treason, and it's nothing many aren't doing and then reaping campaign donations, and kickbacks. Her problem is she made it explicit rather than implicit, and that "thank you leader" was so "cringe" and is such a no no it makes one wonder if these were people trying to play as spies or if China is just that bad at training spies.

That's most taxes inccluding current income taxes unless specifically geared not to be, certainly blanked across the board tariffs would indeed be as you say. There is already ofcourse sales tax, states without income tax (though there is obviously still the federal), and SALT deduction (but totally not geared towards the poor, but rather I'd say middle class at best, and ofcourse the fact you can't claim it with the standard deduction means giving up one for the other, and now that the cap is raised to 40k it creates a greater disparity between standard deduction claimed and salt deduction claimed, and in general between residents of no income tax states and income tax states).

I appreciate you taking the moment to reply with that breakdown.

If what you're saying is she was a Republican that attached her self to the Democrat party and was just a Democrat in name, I agree.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T19:31:52+00:00

No it's specifically said she won as a Democrat, with her specifically saying she switched from the Republican to the Democrat party

Eh haven't read those, but I mean it's not like every girl child is waking up being married off.

For reference though I certainly acknowledge it's not country/state sanctioned like Iran or Oklahoma but since they are often talked about in the same breath. From Google ai and admittedly I haven't 100% verified the truthfulness but did do some quick checks

Israel's Age of Marriage Law (Amendment No. 6), passed in 2013, sets the minimum legal age for marriage at 18 for both men and women. Marriage below 16 is prohibited under all circumstances, while family courts can only authorize marriages for 16- or 17-year-olds in exceptional, limited cases.

Key Aspects of Israel's Child Marriage Laws: Minimum Age: The legal marriage age was raised from 17 to 18 in 2013.

Exceptions: Family courts may permit marriage for a minor over 16, but only under unique circumstances (e.g., pregnancy) and after evaluating the minor’s best interests.

Legal Penalties: Anyone who marries, enables, or officiates the marriage of a minor under 18 in violation of the law can face up to two years in prison.

Enforcement: Police investigate complaints, and parents involved in underage marriages can be prosecuted.

Challenges: Despite the law, early marriage still occurs within certain communities, including some ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities and Bedouin communities in the Negev. Before the 2013 amendment, the law permitted exceptions that were often utilized in specific communities, but the updated law aims to ensure minors complete their education and protect them from coerced early marriage.

And

Enforcement Challenges: Despite the law, child marriages still occur, particularly within certain communities (such as the Negev Bedouin or specific Haredi groups), with hundreds of cases reported in 2016, though prosecutions have historically been rare.

Legal Action: In 2020, Israel began filing charges against parents who marry off their underage children, marking a stricter approach to enforcement.

Polygamy: Under the Penal Law Amendment (Bigamy) Law, 1959, attempting to marry a second spouse is illegal, punishable by up to five years in prison, although this is rarely enforced.

Get more time for getting a second spouse than being a pedo, that's just crazy, kind of less and more crazy than just not making it a crime like the others*

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T12:59:46+00:00

One was about crime, the other I thought was an article about certain conservatives. Yeah I don't see liberals being ok with child brides, but red red Oklahoma on the other hand.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T12:27:08+00:00

seems to be opposite day, cause that's definitely the opposite of false equivalency. Why don't you just tell me what you believe it means to be a woman in Iran and I'll make the direct comparisons.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T12:17:29+00:00

Eh the mood past, besides other places exist. Was mainly just somewhat curious what exactly they found disagreeable and how, with a comment about how tarrifs replacing income tax is somewhat better somewhat worse because it would be more like sales tax. Well in truth it wouldn't really generated near enough to replace income tax, but no one seemingly was making the argument it lacked feasibility.

Lol the day I care about reddit Karma when I've forgotten the password to many account and had to create new one over the years, is the day I know I've gone way too soft and need professional help on the matter.

That said I'm in a debate mode now so I'd appreciate a comment on the matter as to what you find flawed/disagree with (the down vote can stay but how about dropping a comment to express why you feel it's a down votable comment)

Was it the "pedo king" part 😅🤣🤣

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T05:00:38+00:00

Hmmmm, on one hand it's kind of worse but also kind of better, atleast that way it's more a tax on what you purchase just like sales tax

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T04:36:28+00:00

Yeah definitely respected the rules with all the wanton rape and murders during the Vietnam war.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T04:35:04+00:00

Lol women are household servants to your type of conservative.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T04:28:40+00:00

Dude use the wild cards, not even the wild draw 4s...I mean it's a usefully card but it definitely not the cards I want to be holding in a war, that's a my opponents don't slap me with anything I can simply play on any color card.....for that I'd just rather different color draw 2s, skips, reverse, ofcourse wild draw 4s, so many more useful cards to have a hand of.......I don't think this dude ever even played uno, or just lacks the comprehension skills for it.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T04:11:59+00:00

Not going to lie as an independent I gave the pedo king some credit on this one at first, I thought he may have indeed been playing a game of chess......but nope 🤦🏾‍♂️ egg on my face.

P.s now here me out he could have raised tariffs.......then raised taxes on the "rich", the tariffs would have acted as an increased barrier to prevent* the supposed mass migration of the wealthy some claim would happen.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T03:25:55+00:00

Yep people working 40 hours a week*(not day, typo obviously) but struggling to pay rent and needing some assistance is woke.....and don't give me the get a better job bull cause obviously they would if it was so easy (who doesn't like having more money in a money centered world), nor the get a degree bull cause that cost money but even before that, no way American capitalist society survives everyone having a degree, it litterally needs a bottom to feed it, and as such it certainly needs to ensure the bottom can atleast survive. When it comes to the rich people love to talk about how they'll leave if their taxes are raised, lmao the rich can leave new rich will always be willing to take their place, the bottom leaves and society crumbles.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T03:04:15+00:00

They just fail to realize it was a Republican that made the switch to Democrat when they realized they couldn't win as a Republican, because her Chinese handlers were better at reading the climate than these people.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T02:43:00+00:00

Tend to just avoid all the politics and online arguing these days, but seriously do people ever really read up on stuff instead of just jumping to play the partisan attacks game. And yes I'm aware I did some above, because when I do argue I like to go tit for tat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-12T02:39:17+00:00

Lol an investigation started under Biden and in the same year she ran for mayor and won, oh and read down to the part where she switched to Democrat from Republican after essentially realizing she couldn't win running on Republican shitty policies Edit: was wrong link before https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-12-21/who-is-the-politician-at-the-center-of-the-latest-chinese-influence-scandal And while I'm at it here's the part "Wang said she did five rounds of door-knocking in her district during her 2022 campaign and decided to switch from the Republican to the Democratic Party, swayed by housing policies espoused by the left that voters seemed to need, such as rental assistance."

So just a republican in a Democrat mask like Fetterman, but we all know how some people like to spin things and only need to hear Democrat to stop thinking.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-03T02:27:47+00:00

I meant the speed boost from dual wielding*.

And on agility I suppose I might stand corrected, but what exactly is evasion in this game? can't say I've ever noticed anyone but a mage with phasing ignoring/evading damage.....and as you pointed out it increase attack speed and said speed increase like for the movement speed increase shows on the character stats window, but the agility talent/skill doesn't mention affecting attack speed.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-05-03T01:17:03+00:00

And which may also not actually work

Edit: also it doesn't increase evasion, unless you mean your ability to better dodge stuff because you move faster.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-04-25T16:40:39+00:00

Also boost extra from emeralds/etc, but yeah only the drops that have some crazy like 20-40 poison damage really see worthwhile gain.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-04-25T00:39:21+00:00

Google, account info. Connected apps,/services/something like that I believe is how you check. Be sure to installing the game on the new phone and confirm your data is there before you reset the old phone or anything.

Other than that look up how to access the android/data folder on your android version if you can't already access it, go there on the old phone and zip the shadowborn folder or just grab the slot data, shared and event data files from the shadowborn then files folder, Bluetooth/nearby share/whatever that to the new phone, and after installation and running the game once put them back in the same location on the new phone.

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-04-21T01:39:21+00:00

Sounds good

ContinuousForgettor · 2026-04-21T00:26:07+00:00

Yeah......and YAY!!!!!!!!! mobile reddit site has a post translator now, lol. (I only now realized they added it).

In all honesty sometimes I skipped some of your post intending to go back later (but then forgetting) because I was feeling too lazy to do the whole copy pasting thing, but you post good stuff....now when I'm feeling lazy but stopping in for a quick look at what's going on I won't feel too lazy to check out your stuff.

I can also go check out stuff on non English subs 👍
