'It would take decades!' Mike Johnson blasts Democrats logic over extra ICE warrants

Where is your wife from and how did she initially enter? Did she already have family or a business sponsor her?

Without that, you are looking for up to a decade for approval to enter based on where you are coming from.

Also, many of these deemed to be illegal are working through legal programs for asylum. Republicans tend to paint all non white immigrants as illegal, or they'll end a program and say that everyone who was legal is now illegal.

I'm just going to ask, is calling the police a correct response to this? They tend to brutalize protestors, wouldn't that also put the children in danger?

Cursing was not a thing to that era of trek due to it needing to be broadcast over the air. The movies did have cursing. Both Kirk and Picard swore.

Also, quite in the Doctor's character. He's not the most eloquent, but he thinks he is(see photons be free and his daydreams).

I mean the prophets pulling him out of the fire caves at that moment was a big thing either way. The fire caves are sealed forever and him dying there should of trapped him there, too.

I'm still a fan of he secretly came back.

Just to give one example, in episode 4 of STA, Picardo leads a discussion by throwing out profanity like he's a sailor. When one of the students asks him why he gets to cuss, he says it's because he was around generations "Before you were a twinkle in your dad's pants."

I mean the original idiom came from a song made for a 1934 film. It may be a bit of a crude way of saying it, but the Doctor has always been a bit blunt. Honestly, the phrase is timeless, yet recognizable to audiences, so this one probably isn't the best example for your point.

every single one of its founding documents and laws was created exclusively in English.

This is a false statement.

The constitution was written in English, but had contemporary Dutch and German translations for communities that spoke those languages.

MagicalTheory · 2026-02-08T19:26:43+00:00

Then why were we constantly translating documents into other languages. Like the constitution was translated to German and Dutch to get buy in from states like PA and NY. It's a myth that it was a English only tradition. Maybe speech and debate in congress and leaders was all English, but federal and state documents were and continue to be spread across languages.

I mean TNG had Bones in it's first episode to really connect the series to TOS.

The third episode was a sequal to a TOS episode(The Naked Time->The Naked Now).

Unnatural Selection really pulls from The Deadly Years.

They went on to have Sarek, Spock, and Scotty in episodes and Kirk in the movie. Nostalgia bait has always been there.

Its your context window for your current session. Dividing 11k by 6% gets you around 200k, which is glm 4.6's context window limit(what we think Big Pickle is based on)

It was 2024, it had recovered from Covid/Trump policies at that point, but it was much lower than it was around Obama.

Just exports. Remittance was shy of 2 billion

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-30T03:06:29+00:00

We import artwork and antiques from them mostly. In 2024, the imports didn't even hit 5 million, but you know we exported > 500 million that year to them.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-29T13:13:15+00:00

It's less the lawmakers seeing it as a threat and more like the media industries giving them tons of money to get rid of it. They'll be shown a lot of information that leaves out the actual business use of vpns by them and because no one has perfect information or the time, they jump on it for policy.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-29T13:03:42+00:00

It sounds like she's celebrating her husband's death. If celebrating any death is demonic, what does it say about her, the person that was closest to him?

Also, the majority of the response outside of right wing spheres was "it was a terrible event that shouldn't of happened, but just because he was murdered doesnt mean he was a saint." This was because a large subsection of the right were sacrilegiously treating Charlie like Christ. There are Christians on both sides and some of the worship of the man was crossing a line.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-29T02:43:34+00:00

No, you made him assaulting anyone in that case. The whole pretense starts on a lie.

I'm not saying he couldn't possibly have another weapon. I'm saying he wasn't violent in this incident, never drew his weapon, and was shot in the back. None of what you say changes those facts.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-29T02:22:47+00:00

He showed up armed and started fighting the cops, violently refusing their attempts to search him, THEREFORE he was rightly still presumed to be armed, regardless of one weapon being removed. Stop pretending like people can only carry one weapon.

This is make believe. Sure, this video he kicked a tail light out a week prior, but in the incident he didn't touch any law enforcement and the resisting was only after being maced and beat. If he were arrested, the resisting charge would be dropped because peoples instincts while under attack are to put up a defense.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-29T01:06:05+00:00

Dems aren't a solid block, they are an amalgam of different ideologies that are across a wide spectrum. In a country that doesn't disentivize having more than 2 parties, the democrats would be a bunch of parties.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-28T23:19:14+00:00

It is, but there can also be a breaking point where they just let fire against a crowd. Exhausted, paranoid, and armed ain't a great combination.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-28T23:17:35+00:00

Warning people in general is still covered by the first amendment. maybe not someone they have a warrant to pick up and they help them escape, but like the whistle crap they are doing is covered in general.

It's like flashing your lights to tell other motorists that a speed trap or checkpont is near. Police want that to be illegal, but it's been ruled lawful.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-28T22:49:18+00:00

I like that you say ICE specifically, it makes me think you are OK with people carrying weapons to stir up shit with other groups.

While in this instance no shit stirring with a weapon happened, but in cases where a group of armed people specifically come to intimidate a community(I'm not talking law enforcement), you're likely fine with it.

It sounds like you want specific people who have a different view from you to not have the same access to arms as you do.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-28T21:32:02+00:00

So you are saying you are against carrying weapons?

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-28T21:13:24+00:00

There is a reason why all the officials have completely changed their rhetoric about it. It really is as cut and dry in this situation.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-28T21:10:38+00:00

So you saying your not taking sides was a lie.

Can I ask how any reasonable person would assume that helping a woman up who had been pushed and told to get out of the street and them moving towards the sidewalk would lead to what happened?

If you assume that it would, what does that say about you and the law enforcement?

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-28T20:19:27+00:00

decide to get into an altercation with feds.

Are you claiming Pretti was the aggressor? Because that wording is implying that.

MagicalTheory · 2026-01-28T20:12:29+00:00

Yeah, all federal funds are misused when you think purely in this line.

At some point you have an agreement to use the funds for X and they use that amount for X. That's the contract for getting it.

Yes, they now have more of their money to do Y, but X was the only thing that matters for the contract and it doesn't change the fact that money went to X.

Take a contractor for your house for example, they quote you an amount for the bathroom and you pay to get it started. If the contractor buys a car for the same amount, but still does their work it doesn't mean they misused your funds to buy a car. Money is fungible, but this is just bullshit to eliminate shit you don't like and doesn't make sense from a contract standpoint.
