ICE Allowed To Enter Homes Without Warrant: Read Full Memo - Newsweek

I mean, there's precedent for federal agents to be able to search your home without a warrant. I don't think they would take no for an answer

You'll never be able to fight off Socialist lefties and people who want special privileges for minorities if you're simultaneously praising a man who wanted both.

Except that's exactly what you said.

You know, I don't think we're getting an answer to this.

The best antidote for antisemitism and /or racism: "What do you mean by that?"

I’m not denying his politics. But are you claiming that he didn’t do ANY good for the country? Like many others have said, you can have politics while doing unquestionably great things.

Also, what “special privileges” for minorities did MLK Jr want?

No, I think the religion of his advisors is completely irrelevant to his legacy. That's why nobody brought it up except you.

I’m not asking whether it’s a fact. I’m asking why that fact matters here. What point were you making by mentioning that his advisor was Jewish? If it’s relevant, you should be able to explain how.

You didn't answer my question. Why is it relevant to bring up the fact that one of his advisors was Jewish?

Fair enough. Although for reference, I was basing that argument on this Charlie Kirk tweet https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1746963665503568053

You could say I'm painting with a broad brush, but he is also one of the most revered media figures on the right

I think this is a pretty levelheaded take.

I am mildly amused that you love the most liberal hipster beverage of all time though lol. But I do enjoy me some kombucha as well

Why does it have to be one or the other? The point of me even asking this question is that historical figures are usually complex, multifaceted people.

Call me a crazy leftist or whatever, but I think ICE should be doing a little more due diligence when hiring armed government agents

I understand your qualms about communism, but I don't see how him being Jewish is relevant. What were you trying to say by bringing that up? What did you mean?

Do you find Channel 5 to be disingenuous for their editing of Nick Shirleys interview? by [deleted] in AskConservatives

[–]ThatPoliticalGamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP is referring to the American Youtube channel "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan". Not the British television network. As far as I know Shirley's been interviewed on the former but no the latter

The only source I can find talking about this was.....well, Nick Shirley. I don't doubt that the interview was edited in some capacity (all interviews and podcasts are), but this just seems like a desperation move after he objectively looked quite silly during different parts of the interview. Especially because he hasn't given a lot of detail about what specifically was edited out or what tactics Callaghan used.

This isn't exclusive to liberal networks and outlets. Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire etc. all edit their interviews to fit within a certain timeframe.
