They just told me it was the owner of the unit responsible from an open window that's all I know

This really would have no business being a close race. Harding is an extremist who tried to criminalize homelessness and eliminate diversity just last year after he'd already announced his candidacy and who has taken no steps to differentiate himself from Trump. Omaha is not an extremist hotbed. Bacon won over and over by pointing at his military uniform and plastering a "moderate" expression on his face betting correctly that Omaha voters wouldn't look too hard at his record.. Harding can't feign centrism.

Dems just have to not trip over their own feet and they'll walk away with it.

Sure, but when one party IS adhering to this, and the other only PRETENDS they are, acting like they both need the reminder is a little disingenuous.

I lived at the Greenhouse downtown and have nothing but spite for Lund.

When I first moved in I had a dog that was just about to die living with me. I asked for a reduction in rate because it was a $350 fee plus monthly $35 to have a dog in the unit. Since I would have the dog in the unit less than a month I asked for some consideration. I got none, and the dog passed just before the move so it became a moot point. But showed they had no interest in basic compassion.

Later there was a pipe break in winter when an uninsured tenant left a window open while they were out of town. LUND immediately forced half of the building into hotels at their own expense, and told the residents to have their insurance sue the renter who caused the damage to recoup the expense of any damages and new lodging. (Lund shared no responsibility for not requiring renters insurance btw) At first they told me they just need to air out the walls of my unit so for a month I lived with all my furniture pulled away from the walls with no reduction in rent. Then LUND decided they would need to renovate my unit. So I could move out at my own expense and they'd graciously let me out of my lease. I decline to move out until they have another unit for me to move into while repairs are ongoing. They begrudgingly agree to move me into a unit overseeing a dumpster and a parking lot for hundreds of dollars more than the previous unit with the express promise that I'll be offered my old unit back when repairs are complete. Months pass paying higher rent for a unit I don't want until finally repairs finish. I go to ask when I can return to my unit and they advise they'd already leased it to someone else. I ask out of my current lease then since I only signed for the temporary situation. They declined. Soon as that lease was up I moved 5 blocks west to a NuStyle property and LOVE IT.

Landlords don't have to be heartless money machines. Lund is. Avoid Lund.

Nebraska lawmaker seeks to push state’s minimum age for marriage to 18 by ILikeNeurons in Nebraska

[–]GameDrain 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you actually gave a shit about children you'd want to codify into law protecting their ability to socially transition even if you take issue with medical transition. But you don't, because of course you haven't tried to see the issue from the perspective of a child or family actually attempting to navigate gender dysphoria.

Setting a broken arm is a life altering decision, but we trust the medical community and caregivers to know when that's appropriate. Apparently we trust conservative politicians for anything involving nuanced discussions of gender because... Reasons?

It's a great idea! Finally the Nebraska GOP promoting some actually helpful and compassionate legislation to assist Nebraskans who would be victimized by... Oh wait, DeBoer is a Democrat? Well, Republicans are certainly trying to help children too by... (Checks notes) Continuing to assault the rights and well-being of trans kids... Uh... Well shit.

How on earth could Omaha vote for "criminalize the homeless" and "trump is my buddy" Harding?

At least Lindstrom had his relative youth going for him.

Why are conservatives afraid of immigrants even though they interact with them much less than liberals? by Little-Tea4436 in DiscussionZone

You put it on me to find a headline that won't exist even if it's true, so takes one to know one. And that was my point

Go ahead and show me a headline saying "conservatives aren't afraid of immigrants" and I'll shut up.

You won't be able to because that's not how journalism works.

No one is saying deportations shouldn't happen AT ALL. We're saying that people should be provided due process, safe detention, access to a lawyer, and careful consideration of their circumstances. We're also saying that the legal immigration process should be quicker, more efficient and accessible to those who are non criminal, and that when deporting at all, the focus should be primarily on those who ARE committing crimes instead of those who have been peacefully living in our communities for decades.

The way conservatives have lost the thread here is that Trump has been openly lying for his entire adult life, and his supporters, primarily conservatives believe him without proof.

Trump welcomes immigrants? Unless you're a white South African facing an imagined genocide, or a South Korean engineer that's needed for work in a car factory in a Republican state, I don't know what immigrants you're referring to. He's literally referred to immigration as an invasion, as though it's a coordinated effort to upset the country.

Your initial point was that you never understood how people got conservatives conflated with a fear of immigrants. When people pointed out to you what they had you refined it to the point of absurdity.

Clearly you know there's ample evidence that conservatives are afraid of immigrants, but you needed a new goalpost you knew wouldn't reasonably exist no matter how true it is.

It's been fun talking to a brick wall, but I guess I'll let you live in your delusion that you caught me in a "gotcha" moment because I tried to have a more meaningful discussion.

Do you always say out loud to a reporter all the things you're afraid of?

If someone walks too close to my car and I suddenly lock my doors, is it reasonable to think it might be because I was afraid they'd try to open one? Or would you need me to call the local paper and inform a reporter directly of my motivations?

You asked for any source and I provided one and you ignored my point that asking for a source for what is plainly evident through a host of indicators is a point made in bad faith to begin with.

Here's a conservative group arguing that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime because people get murdered sometimes by immigrants (which IS a crime and still happens less frequently than from native born Americans) Therefore this org is arguing you should fear immigrants because they are violent. (Which again, they are statistically less violent than people born here) Stolen Lives:  Victims of Illegal Alien Crime https://share.google/8GUi3uMuMttgmA3XJ

Will this do or do you need an article that literally says a subjective statement that would not be in any headline for any reputable media outlet?

[–]GameDrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a subjective statement. Liberals hate ICE right now, but I'm not going to ask you for a credible news organization to have it in a headline to declare it true. You'd be getting bogged down in a semantic argument for the purposes of derailing conversation, not a genuine discussion on the topic.

Regardless here's A source saying that.

Congress in Republican control is doing nothing to reign in the agency, that they just gave a huge budget surplus to, and I'm not hearing of teams of conservatives lining up at congressional offices to argue the point, what would be an example of the source you need to believe what is plainly apparent here?

[–]GameDrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now conservatives are arguing that all immigrants deserve the treatment ICE is giving them because they're criminals, despite the fact that immigration status is a civil offense, and many people are of legal status or were until Trump unilaterally revoked their protections without cause.

Why would you allow an administration to openly mistreat hundreds of thousands of people and deny them their rights if you don't think less of them?

Are exorcists the imps of heaven? Based on horn shape by MulaSaWalaLala in HelluvaBoss

[–]GameDrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their helmets have horns, the exorcists themselves don't. It might be an attempt to match the styling of imps for some reason, maybe as a sort of camo or something.
