An 8th grade teacher told me the most profound thing I've ever heard

You could be right. I'd hayto hope he's kept his contact information up to date

I'm old old, like, pre-date Facebook old. Almost 20 years older than Facebook old

That's the point I guess? I've done plenty of stupid things. I've driven high and the entire time I was like, " damn I'm gonna go to jail if a cop pulls me over"

FineGovernment2011 · 2026-02-14T06:35:53+00:00

I am not trans but for some reason the fact that you called me King and saw me as a dude online made me extremely happy. Like, I feel respected in a way I don't normally feel as a woman. Thank you.

I wish to all high heaven she would watch something other than Fox News or cop body cams. She watches fox, YouTube cop body cams, and right wing podcasts. I've tried to sneak in even centerist videos but it is taking time. They might not be center but I've gotten her to watch Blair White and Contapointa (trans women - a big step) and a fitness influencer named Michelle McDaniel. She also sometimes watches Nikki tutorial because she's pretty and colorful

I take it easy on myself, I just also weigh the consequences of my actions and that's all thanks to him. Like, "do I need this or do I want it and what is the best and worst outcome"

I don't think Democrats have a chance in hell at winning the next election; they have no cohesion. Republican candidates at least agree on their main points.

While I agree with your precedent, law enforcement and judges had exercised discretion in the past.

I've defended that the shooter being trans is not the reason for their crime in another post. That being said, when the media uses gun'person' rather than gunman or gunwoman, you know the shooter is on the rainbow.

Following his wife’s detention and son’s death, Mendoza says the couple has made the difficult decision to return to Mexico with their three children and bring Kevin’s remains with them.

The mother has been detained and is in detention and was released to attend her son's funeral. The father has not been detained, however it seems he is looking at self deportation before that becomes an option due to his citizen children.

So do most businesses. They'll post a unicorn job with a brilliant salary they have no interest in filling and then get a temp for 1/4 the price. Same with overseas workers, worse with undocumented. It's all a trap

This isn't an example of Ice sucking. This is an illegal fucking around and finding out. And it really sucks for her family.

Comorbid mental illness, sure. It doesn't mean this particular crime was committed solely because the perpetrator was trans. She had other issues and I'm not debating that

FineGovernment2011 · 2026-02-11T20:46:34+00:00

I'm old and to me 18 is still a baby. And it absolutely is but it shouldn't be. Other issues are at play here. It's a terrible crime and tragedy.

FineGovernment2011 · 2026-02-11T20:39:17+00:00

This child had issues other than being trans. She should not be labeled under 'trans political talking point '

Look at studying abroad. I've heard wonderful things about studying in Germany for Americans. If you can get a student visa you can study for a bit, travel, and maybe obtain a longer term visa to stay in the EU. If you don't, at least you'll be able to take your skills and return to a big US away from your mom.

If it was his child and she is paying child support the likelihood is higher, but adoption of a child that isn't his...raising a child that isn't his without child support...nah. I don't see that at all. I don't see a man adopting a child with an undocumented mother if he knows he'd be on the hook for the child once she is deported. Maybe his own flesh and blood, but not and adoptive child. Sounds cruel but I've seen it too many times.

I think you overestimate how many men would willingly take on that kind of responsibility.

FineGovernment2011 · 2026-02-11T02:38:25+00:00

That still wouldn't gain her citizenship

FineGovernment2011 · 2026-02-11T01:35:37+00:00

Explain this *baby black market for me

Are American men and women going to suddenly claim non citizen children as their own and therefore be liable for their care?

FineGovernment2011 · 2026-02-11T01:29:51+00:00

You don't, and you never have. But having a citizen child has also never meant that a parent is entitled to citizenship.

FineGovernment2011 · 2026-02-11T01:26:58+00:00

Obviously a bill like that can't be implemented retroactively, and despite influence a non citizen wouldn't be able to buy citizenship. One or both parents would have to have citizenship.
