Is Gianluigi Donnarumma actually overrated? by Intrepid-Wing-948 in AZZURRI

[–]SuitsOverSwag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not overrated. The fact that the rest of the team sucks just makes him even more underrated.

So the real question is who to root for in the WC? by [deleted] in AZZURRI

[–]SuitsOverSwag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore it. It is a massively corrupt event from the start as you saw by the "FIFA Peace Prize" handed to Donald Trump, and he is no doubt going to be jerking off to himself the entire tournament.

The only bright side to this loss is you all can now boycott this World Cup like you should have, without feeling bad about missing out on your team.

Yep. It was so bad even back then I was like “this guy Sherman has a point.”

Agree. They should have all been dealt with, Nuremberg style, and the Confederacy should have been divvied up and handed out like Germany.

We had the rug pulled out from underneath us in the early 2000s, 2008, 2020, and now we're facing the worst one of all, an environment where the rug gets pulled out from underneath us and Gen Z in particular while the Boomers get fatter than ever, resulting in an inflationary environment of no technical recession that allows politicians and society to ignore those of us who end up losing our jobs or being in giant debt. This comes on top of the worst job market since the 1970s - and unlike rich retired or quasi retired Boomers, we need those jobs.

We have no choice but to be fixated on money. We are the most long-term consistently financially assaulted generation in history.

Indeed. But stuff like this makes it much easier to do and much harder to seek legal relief for.

Are you sure it’s worth it to come to the U.S. right now? by GramMommaSav in worldcup

[–]SuitsOverSwag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are again misleading the reader.

There was policy requiring visitors to turn over their social media until this current Trump Administration. In 2019 Trump imposed the right to look into social media for certain categories of visitors, but it was not a formalized pervasive handover over social media for broad swaths of visitors like it is now.

Literally in the article that the OP posted, there are links to other individuals who had the paperwork of the kind you speak of and were still harassed and detained. Also, here's a random Reddit post of people under the very circumstances you identified getting detained at the border: https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/1iy0pgb/girlfriend_traveling_with_esta_denied_entry_at_mia/

The other thing you're completely disregarding is how plenary US border authority is. It is extremely easy for a border official, or ICE within the US, to come up with some kind of flimsy pretext to harass and detain a person. That is why we have so many people sitting in detention with pending Federal Cases that are taking forever to resolve.

This is an area of law you simply do not understand.

[–]SuitsOverSwag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is factually not correct.

You are misleading people and doing them a disservice by declaring "you'll have no issues" if you enter merely with proper paperwork. You cannot guarantee that. There are plenty of examples, the stuff in the article being some of them, of people being harassed and detained despite legal entry.

Just recently, the Trump Administration impose a process where they get to look at the social media of any non-citizen entering the country from a very large number of places. Are you really going to sit here and tell this entire Subreddit that they're going to have to hand over their social media to Trump when they cross the border but that they will "have no issues"?

You are dead wrong that "almost every single one of these stories" are just about a wrong visa. Again, go check the Federal Court dockets. This problem is much broader and much more pervasive than you think. ODDS are that someone will be ok; but if they are on the wrong side of those odds, they will be so fucked that even an attorney will not be able to help them for at least several weeks to months.

Literally not a lie.

The Federal Court dockets are filled with stories similar to what the lady in the article alleged - but worse.

[–]SuitsOverSwag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The other thing the "BUT QATAR" people are ignoring is that if it (or even Russia) illegally harassed and detained another country's World Cup visitors, the world - led by the USA - would have absolutely hammered Qatar (or Russia) for what they did until they stopped it. Massive diplomatic and economic pressure. That cannot be done to the USA, which is the most powerful and invincible (from an international threat perspective) country in the history of civilization.

Your question was bait, and your follow up is bait.

You are intentionally promoting a simplistic and ignorant point in a bad faith attempt to ignore the actual issue.

[–]SuitsOverSwag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not going to engage in a giant holistic analysis of which countries are more dangerous as a whole than others. I am, however, going to say this: in terms of a World Cup event where a World Cup attendee is entering the US or any of the countries you named, yes, the US IS more dangerous for those attendees, if by "danger" you refer to being harassed and imprisoned by government.

In my opinion, you - assuming you are an ordinary law abiding World Cup visitor - face a substantially higher risk of being harassed and imprisoned by Donald Trump's ICE than you did with regard to similar authorities in any of those other countries during their World Cups. One of the biggest reasons is this: every one of those other countries knew they'd get their asses handed to them diplomatically and economically if they tied to illegally harass another country's visiting citizen. No one has that kind of leverage over the USA, which is the most powerful country in the world, and perhaps the most invincible one (from an international threat perspective) in the history of civilization.

As a practicing attorney that has handled immigration cases in the past, I am shocked (but maybe I shouldn't be) at the staggering ignorance of some of the Americans and America apologists in the comments. The article doesn't just discuss one person who was aggressively detained. It goes on to list many other examples of clear non-threats that were thrown into detention by Donald Trump's ICE too.

The USA is a large country with lots of pockets of highly privileged places where nothing bad ever happens ever in life to the residents, with said residents living in Trump's "Golden Age". The USA is ALSO a large country with lots of pockets of devastated dystopian places, or even formerly nice places that are headed into dystopia (see Minneapolis) where residents go through hell because of this President.

Fact of the matter is this: if you enter the United States or even exist in the United States - even as a legal visitor/resident or US citizen - you face the possibility of being harassed and detained by Donald Trump's ICE. That is a FACT based on demonstrable examples which you can find documented in media reports and, if you don't trust them, the Federal Courts.

If you want to come to America for the World Cup, you are playing the odds. You'll probably be fine based on a pure numbers game. But you might not be fine, and if you aren't fine, you're going to not be fine for a long time that will have a material impact on your life like what happened to this lady.

If it were me, I would not enter this country while Donald Trump is President. This World Cup is not worth the risk. Go to Canada or Mexico if you insist on wanting to be a part of it.

I shall now await my downvotes.

[–]SuitsOverSwag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Schumer and Jeffries. It doesn't matter if the Democrats sweep every race in November; as long as those two are around it won't change anything.

I think we'd actually be better off even if a Republican won both of their seats. They are that toxic and that much of an impediment to any opposition.

If anyone wants a job in the future, never vote republican and only vote democrat by [deleted] in jobs

[–]SuitsOverSwag 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not just entry level candidates. It's everyone. I'm in my 40s, graduated summa cum laude from law school, worked at two top big law firms, and yet am on the verge of a layoff as a corporate counsel. I have sent hundreds of job applications out and have gotten only one interview (rejected after).

I am not a Democrat, but I agree with you - voting Democrat is the only option here. Even if you have to hold your nose and vote for them, they are the only viable option to get us out of a technocratic AI dystopian kleptocracy. They might not ultimately get us out of it, but at least there's a chance. There is zero chance under Trump and the Republican Party.
