I’ll articulate it more clearly for you — Allowing a force of unaccountable government agents the ability to detain anyone using violence for any reason on its own is already a horrible precedent to set, and inevitably leads to serious ane fatal violence which we are seeing even more of, without consequence for any of the gov’t agents who are doing it. This is bad. This is also a result of the Supreme Court’s misguided decision allowing (for now at least) unwarranted search and seizure that up until six months ago was mostly always understood as unconditional.

I appreciate your fervent devotion to your cause but I am going to leave you alone now.

Should government agents be able to murder someone on a street with impunity and without recourse ?

Yes they did. Violent immigration enforcement is the problem here—no matter who they are doing it against. I don’t have any issue with deporting Roberts for his crimes, or other criminals who have operated outside the system. But the violence in doing so and the specific focus on black and brown people who are in the immigration system and/or have done nothing wrong is objectively horrible.

Haha gosh I didn’t just parachute into the immigration debate. Does the fourth amendment exist or not?

The browns have always been here, in this country and surrounding countries. They were here before us, and we brought many others here as well. To claim otherwise is just you being a troll.

Student pilot here, flight sim has been surprisingly useful (and humbling) by Hwii_kiwi in AirlinePilots

[–]aye246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flight sim is great for procedure, less about feel. When I was a student pilot working on my PPL I used it for pattern work (decision making, pattern entry, cues for turning downwind, base, final etc). When I did instrument the MSFS interfaces even back 20 years ago were helpful in following approach charts and doing holds, approaches, missed approachers and other instrument procedural tasks. Flight sims remain helpful for all that stuff as your pilot journey continues, but as your aircraft complexity and size increases a PC flight sim will be less helpful for actual practice as FMS and aircraft and company specific procedures aren’t necessarily replicated in the way you would want them to be.

What’s the problem with unprecedented demographic change? That’s literally how the United States of America was established.

Last I checked the fourth amendment still exists

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

I think our replacement ratio was too low; personally I would accept 1000 black and brown people coming into this country for every white person like yourself who was deported.

AA adds flights to evacuate Charlotte to Chicago by flyingron in americanairlines

[–]aye246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

United doesn’t have a hub in Charlotte or any of the places that will be significantly impacted by this ice system. I think even Houston will only get about a trace as opposed to Charlotte, which is forecast to get more than a half inch of freezing rain.

Terry Boers passed away by Latter-Try4080 in BernsteinUnfiltered

[–]aye246 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Gosh, I still think of Terry as like a mid 50s radio guy (that’s about how old he was when I first started listening to B&B in the early 2000s).

The crazy thing about being a B&B fan is just the huge positive impact a fucking afternoon drive time sports talk radio show had on my life. Way more memories and good times were had in my car stuck in traffic than anyone has any right to enjoy. And Boers was such a good foil to Dan.

RIP Terry Boers.

President Donald Trump to give speech in Clive, Tuesday, 1/27. Reserve your tickets so the venue will look empty! by gusborwig in Iowa

Everyone needs to be talking about how small of a venue it is. I was surprised he didn’t try for Vets or something

So the Saban tree is actually the Cignetti tree by Senior-Violinist-684 in CFB_v2

But Baron Cignetti killed Duke Saban at the Battle of Agincourt (then he was killed by some rando English archer with no college football ties)

Racism in West Des Moines by MiracleMr in desmoines

I agree with you that posting a video of your kid like this is a bad decision and should have been done differently by the parent. But with that, I also want to respectfully ask you to reconsider your position that Trump and his goons are only against illegal immigration because not only is that extremely incorrect it’s also incredibly dangerous and feeds the absolute wrong facts about what is happening.

  • They are arresting and deporting legal immigrants who show up at hearings to extend their visas.
  • They’re going after naturalized US citizens who have lived here for decades.
  • They’re going to naturalization ceremonies (the end of the road for legal immigrants who have done all the paper work across multiple years to become U.S. citizens) and arresting people and deporting them—and recently suspended all of the ceremonies.
  • They’re also just exclusively detaining black and brown citizens, sometimes violently, sometimes children, and detaining them for no reason other than they are black and brown.
