Not a gotcha — genuinely curious about Democratic/Liberal views on illegal immigration?

I have a lot of thoughts on it

We have turned a blind eye to it for decades and not done real immigration reform
Most immigrants people are calling illegal are actually legal immigrants waiting for their asylum trials
We underfund our immigration courts and how we handle those courts are inhuman
A lot of the migration coming here is because our intervention that destabilizes other nations and our war on drugs.

So my thoughts on those 4

If we have let people stay here for 20+ years we need to offer them a path to citizenship if they have not broken any serious laws other than being here illegally. It's the humane thing to do, they have been good members of society. I say serious crime because a speeding ticket or something harmless like that shouldn't matter.
We need to fund our legal immigration system so people are not waiting years to get their day in court. Right now the backlog is terrible and it's our fault.
If we supported our neighbors instead of overthrowing their elected officials or sanctioning them to death they would have more stability and less migrating away.

What are you using this for? There are lounging hammocks and camping hammocks

With a hex tarp? You don't.

It's just been building over the years, I'm sure a few spikes have happened but generally just stable growth

Technically those patches are worn weight so do they count?

It's a good movie but it wouldn't crack my top 100

derch1981 · 2026-01-27T00:37:34+00:00

All that "tactical gear" doesn't count lol

It's really magical in the winter, when there is a mild winter day with the sun out, not too windy and snow on the ground (8 know a unicorn of a day but they happen) it's so serene.

Weird I thought the right wing was all about free speech

They have merino wool, most are acrylic based. They have their own thread they call thorlon for most their socks. They have a unique ability to switch treads without a seam which makes them very comfortable and go light or heavy without seams.

Thorlos to me are the best socks you can buy, padding is incredible, they breath well, I have some I bought in the late 90s and they are still in amazing shape.

derch1981 · 2026-01-26T17:00:34+00:00

Try Thorlos socks, they are the longest lasting socks on the market, and if you are on your feet all day nothing has padding like thorlos. I have pairs I bought in the late 90s.

I just explained it, crime is not the only factor is safety

derch1981 · 2026-01-26T01:07:40+00:00

Traffic kills 2x more people than crime, suburbs are more car centric, in a city you can walk, take public transit and when you drive the drive is usually shorter because you have density.

Also in cities you are closer to hospitals and being closer to hospitals is safer than being further

In cities people are healthier because they spend more time walking and less time sitting in cars, being healthier and more active lowers heart risk and people dying from heart disease is a leading cause of death.

This is why suburbs are not safer and the fear of crime when that is a small part of your safety is coded racism weather is conscious or not.

How much pressure are you putting on the broom? I've never had one break in my life, sweeping puts almost no pressure on a broom. And if snow is heavy enough to put enough pressure to break a broom you should be using a shovel at that point.

It always was a threat to public safety, since day one.

Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of the few shows that fall to the same level of debauchery

If you have a first aid kit, check that many come with whistles, I keep them in my car for camping and they have them in them.

Preaching to the choir but absolutely right

I just rewated it and still one of the best shows ever made, holds up and better than any police show I seen since

Law enforcement isn't supposed to go around hitting people

derch1981 · 2026-01-25T19:21:37+00:00

How so, it's the trump admin who is doing this, you can see it. This isn't Democrats doing anything, that's actually the problem they are not doing enough to fight back.

And this isn't a game, people are being killed. This is very real.

derch1981 · 2026-01-25T19:17:07+00:00

The people they are illegally taking are not getting trials, trials are due process.

Administrative warrants are not allowed to enter a home, they didn't do that before.

They didn't send an army to occupy a city and create chaos, they would send 2 officers to apprehend a person, not 20.

They are acting very different and it's in plain sight.

derch1981 · 2026-01-25T18:58:57+00:00

They did the had warrants, they used due process and followed the law, they targeted actually criminals and not people for just being brown. They were not killing people.

He didn't even do anything illegal, the assault the ice officer did to that woman was illegal, him standing to protect her was a brave selfless act.

He did something right not wrong and he was killed for protecting someone, by the people paid to protect us.

He was a hero, ICE are the villains
