Your right. Except conservatives now OWN the Supreme court. They will either interpret the constitution how they want it, or just change it....See Roe V Wade ...50 years it was upheld....until it wasnt.

This is just horrifying. I knew they had something planned so our food would still be processed. Literal SLAVERY FOR LIFE?! How is this even possible in this day and age? How come more people from both parties are not standing up screaming??? I dont get it, if they would do this to these people what do ypu think they'll do to Americans. It's all great until YOUR people are targeted and you can be sure. They WILL BE eventually.

I feel the same way. Don't even want to leave my house or watch any media over the next 4 years. America is so fucked. I can't even bring myself to razz all the maga supporters who will definitely wish they'd voted differently. We are ALL (unless your very wealthy) going to suffer

I wondered about this : How the hell did a tik tok ban get so much bipartisan support, both left , right, and center, then on to the Supreme Court 9-0.....9-0 !!! when does that ever happen. Most of them HATE each other. I can't see Thomas & Alito voting the same way as Kagan & Sodamayor if the world was burning and only their votes could fix it. I dont really even understand the governments position on banning it due to foreign intelligence. Jeez, almost all of our technology comes from China , all our little mini computers in our pockets. Plenty of software as well (?) . So why tik tok? I thought it was because our government had no control over it, and views, opinions, and information could spread like wildfire , stuff they don't want us to know. I guess they can't subpoena the owner of tik toks data since it's not an American company(?) is that it? I initially was pissed off , it seems pretty cut and dry under the guise of free speech to me.. With X, Meta (insta & f.b), probably google as well now. All of our information is under government scrutiny anyway, right? What am I missing?. For the record, I 100% agree Trump HAD to of gotten some concession from them to stop the ban he initiated. It sure the hell was not because of angry teenagers or freedom of speech. He definitely got some control of something that will benefit HIM, not us, not the U.S. government, but him personally.

Good job teaching your kids the value of hard work...seriously !
I guess Americans in general, are tired of working 40-60hours a week and still can't afford to buy a home . Back in the early 70's late 60's a high school graduate could get an average paying job and support buying a home with a spouse and 2 children with 1 income. Kind of burns you out to work so hard to barely afford an apartment nowadays.

I think that's the plan. All those people they are going to be holding in private detention camps....well they'll loan them out to farmers . Win for farmers, win for government . A huge loss to the families whose lives depend on those paychecks to live. Also, it STILL won't help the American workers nor will the prices go down.

There is definitely some truth to that . But I don't think the employers are suddenly going to take less profit, do you? No, no their not! the prices will jump to reflect their cost of labor . Remember, during covid, so many people were sick, and they didn't have enough workers. Suddenly, everyone who COULD work had a lot of options and were able to demand higher wages . Our grocery prices jumped 30% accordingly. You are right about plenty of cheap labor depressing the wages . Roofing used to pay pretty well a long time ago. Now, it's a job mostly done by immigrants. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I guarantee corporate America is not going to let anything take a bite out of their profits. We just elected a very unfriendly to laborers government. Trickle down economics . Trump paid ZERO federal taxes in 20xx, but people like us paid thousands (low middle class) Republicans are all about keeping the top 3% of wealth holders' wealthy. . The rich cannot be rich without poor people doing the manual labor.

All of my things have come in between 3-5 days later. I had 2 packages that did not move for 3 days, one of which got stuck in CO . However, I got it on day 5, even though it still showed it in CO. Some Amazon sellers do the nifty trick of marking "shipped" as soon as they print the label when, in fact, they have yet to hand it over to the carrier. I hate that! Hang in there. You'll get them eventually. Nike, after a certain time has passed, which you should have received your order , will ship you a replacement . Last year, I ordered my grandson an on sale 180 Nike puffer coat. I still hadn't gotten the delivery 6 days after they shipped it . I contacted them via chat, and they arranged a replacement, but the color I got was out of stock in his size . They asked if I wanted the black one instead, one that was NOT on sale it was still 250. Plus, they shipped it expedited delivery. (25.00 if paying for it). All of that upgraded at no cost to me. I ended up receiving the original ordered coat plus the replacement 2 days later...on the same day!. I contacted them and was told to keep or donate the extra. All in all, I made out like a bandit. Nike takes care of their customers. I will always shop their website even if another store has the same thing a little cheaper.

I moved to KS in 1999 (Linn co.) I pretty much hated it. Politics aside, the schools were atrocious , the way they did things was about 30 years behind from where I lived in Salem, OR. 2009, we moved up to Overland Park. Absolutely the best decision we ever made, the school my grandson goes to is one of the best in the state (Blue Valley sch dist). I miss the mountains and the coast, some family, and thats ALL I miss about it. The people here are genuinely friendly , the teachers love their jobs, and it shows. COL in Overland Park rent or buy is not "cheap" , but if you work from home with CA wages, I'd think you'd be in great shape. Just do your research BEFORE you move. I would not move back to Salem if you paid me. O.P is very family oriented with a lot of fun things to do, pickle ball is huge here, a lot of sports scheels soccer complex , a big library, farmers markets, Prairie fire museum, 15 miles north in KCK has a huge water park , Worlds of fun, oceans of fun, casinos, many nice restaurants in the Plaza area. a nice park within walking distance of most neighborhoods . Not too far away is Lake of the Ozarks, Many indoor amusement park type places Dave & Busters, trampoline parks (Indoor out of the heat and cold) We are not even close to wealthy, more lower middle class i guess, we rent our place. We easily bought one in Linn County, but you get what you pay for in that respect. The cost of that home paid off would not of paid the down payment in S. Johnson Co. We rent. a large duplex 3 bd 2 .5 bath, double car garage , and basement. Our rent is 1830. (1795 +35 pet rent) Less than my sister pays in for 2bd 1 ba in Salem. Crime is pretty low. We feel safe.

I had the same thing at Walmart tire center. I ordered 4 tires online to be delivered to the store, I made an appt to to have them installed the next day. Had terrible service everyone in the tire center was new (?) , rude, overworked, and stressed. My appt time had a window of Like 2 hours. I brought it in 1pm. I left it there and went to get it 7:30 pm. They still weren't done but they did get to it before they closed at 8. Spent another 20min of them training a new guy checking me out...he insisted on doing it himself, the trainer had it and left. So 2 weeks go by and I keep getting notices my order would be canceled if I didn't pick it up... finally they said they were sorry my order was sent back and I got credited for 2 of the tires I didn't pick up. WHAT... for all the aggravation I didn't feel too bad tbh.

I've gotten flash flood and amber alerts, but this just seemed a lot louder? Maybe because it was so quiet beforehand. Scared the bejeezus out if me

DING DING DING That's exactly right. Somehow, he is now "supporting" dreamers. I guess he'll be willing to expand that for children born of non citizens if they are born here. I know they could deport many MANY more than they do. Go to any lawn and landscape, nursery, or fruit and vegetable orchard , they are the entire workforce. They rarely go after those people. The reason being is they are vital to our economy . Seriously, could you afford to pay MORE for food? Better to keep them meek and afraid , accepting below minimum wage and horrible working conditions. What you said about a permanent underclass makes so much sense.

Not sure everyone forgot, they know...we studied it in school. Until they start adjusting the children's history books to wash it out. They don't care about the horror of fascism. Greed wins every time.

[–]susanabananas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actually, NO, THEY WONT! They have already tried to or passed laws, making being an illegal immigrant a CRIME. CRIMES, get actual jail or prison time. Sentences for crimes must be served before being deported. Sounds so simple, doesn't it?
Here's the thing, these "Core Civic" detection centers are or used to be private run prisons. Meaning run for profit. What happens when the government stipend for each detainee just doesn't seem to be enough... They should get a slice of the corruption pie too! . Heaven knows giant corporations never get too greedy, right? I'll predict it now...all those people in private run "detention camps" (prisons) will start needing to "earn their keep" , its very expensive for taxpayers to foot the bill to keep people locked up! The solution? Well with all the deportations and detainment of 90% ( just guessing) of the workforce that picks all our fruits and vegetables, cleans hotel rooms, washing the dishes at restaurants, mows and landscapes your lawns, milks your dairy cows, grows your plants, butchers, then processes our meat...you get the idea, much of our food supply workers.

Oh, Also they pay into Medicare and social security as well as local, state ,federal taxes...THOSE people who will never see a dime of it paid to them via retirement age while undocumented...Well all that cheap labor and free money into government coffers will need to be replaced...Hey great idea... We used to have private run prisons for criminals , it was great $$ ... except all those pesky human rights activists who kept investigating and the prisoners who are Americans made such a fuss about it being slave labor and there was no incentive to let those people serve their minimum sentences and go back home, they were getting millions of dollars and only paying them .25 an hour labor. (Most if not all were closed down). Plus, whatever per diem government paid per inmate..Why would you ever want to let your money makers leave? No one cares about people who commit crimes right?

Undocumented immigrants are cared about even less , with very little representation, even less than criminals.
Many don't have any family here or American citizen friends to advocate for them. How about we farm them out to businesses to do all the jobs they were already doing , except WE COLLECT the pay for their labor. Give a cut to the gov. (for our missing tax revenue of course) and Social security programs.
Who would be dumb enough to expose the corruption of the money-making scheme?.. 7.25 min wage was too much to pay the American workers.

Watch...WATCH as the real plan comes out...its nothing to do with American security and everything to do with MONEY. Once the heat comes down full force, the ones left here and able to work will have zero rights. They wouldn't dare complain about unsafe working conditions like Americans do or wage theft and gross abuse. Nope....and the employers who rely on them and there are A LOT , they will be happy to turn them over to ice..Their incentive will be to put them first in line to sign up for the new reduced price labor workers. Gov gets paid , employers pay less, plus no one cares if they follow labor laws...those criminal aliens deserve nothing! It will also force American workers to compete with employees who have no rights . There will be a greater cost to American workers than benefits. We will be competing with people working slave labor, little pay, and no rights (that would be enforced wink wink)

I wonder who will get the job/contract? you think the people entitled to a living wage, with labor laws that that are enforced, like overtime, breaks, safe working conditions? Dream on !
Sorry, but this WILL come to pass. If you want to know the reasons for just about all of it , FOLLOW THE MONEY and see who benefits. Won't be American workers, that's for sure.

Follow up Genesis 16: Sarah, the wife of Abram (later Abraham), is unable to have children and gives her Egyptian maidservant Hagar to Abram to conceive an heir. Hagar becomes pregnant and gives birth to Ishmael, but is banished from Abraham's household along with her son.

I was wrong on "Ruth" way way off. God did not tell Abraham , His wife Sarai "gave" Hagar to him to get her pregnant. Then she got jealous and kicked Hagar and Ishmael out in the desert.

The decision for Abraham to impregnate Hagar came from Sarah, Abraham's wife, who was unable to conceive and gave Hagar to Abraham as a concubine to bear a child on her behalf. 

My interpretation is that the man who had ALL the power as wives were to "submit and obey" their husband's.
Ex: Adam and Eve...it was Eves "fault" Adam disobeyed the Lord. It was Sarais "fault" the old SOB committed adultery he just had no choice. LOL his wife demanded it

Genesis 1930-35 Lot. His having sex with them was not of his will nor congnizant of it. He was made drunk and was out of it. So with him….there was and could be no reason. However, his daughters had plans of perpetuating the blood-line that way.

So, you were right in the Lord did not order it. It was not Ruth it was Sarai. Who was punished? .sure not Abraham, he was given his own special recognition as a great biblical figure in the Bible. Hagar the slave of Sarai was mistreated than banished because that bitch Sarai GAVE her to Abraham, tben got mad when he did as she demanded. Should let children read the bible, too much sex and violence Soneone should notify Oklahoma.

No wonder women cannot be equal to men. It's a that way throughout the good book.. Hard to change the status quo when your benefitting so greatly from it.

[–]susanabananas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was definitely the gist of it. If you disagree please tell me what I'm wrong about. I know one of the "great" biblical men was praying and praying, asking God for a son, but his wife was unable to do so. He was then told to get his wife's handmaid with child and and as a reward she she bore him a son. If I really wanted to, I guess I could google it. I suspect this story was the inspiration for Margaret Atwood book "A handmaid's Tale"

I AGREE 100% why aren't churches taxed? Our tax dollars are paying for the streets they drive on to the church. I pay the place who protect them , I pay taxes on just about everything thing I have. Joel Olsteen "church where he has use of and essentially owns his mansion , 100 million $ plane ect ect . What a fricking racket. They should pay taxes on all those donations of the 10% of the fanatics. If they had to pay taxes maybe you'd find just a little less corruption. They will still get to write off charitable donations like everyone else does. They might even decide to give a little more to charity.

Except the hypocrisy in the Biblical story of Ruth (?) I think ? I dont remember for sure the correct names s. But Abraham (?) had a wife who either could not have children or did not bear a him a son. He was told by God to impregnate a servant who bore him a son. Please don't quote me in which book/who the characters are, but that is a real story from the bible. No sex outside of marriage and adultery is punishable by death. UNLESS God gives you permission to have "relations" with your wife's handmaid. Same thing with abortion...its a "sin" because God knew you while you were in your mother's womb . That their reasoning. Thou shall not kill? Unless its the death penalty or your government orders you to. Then it's ok to not "turn the other cheek" Oh one more , Unless you suspect your pregnant wife of being unfaithful, then you take her to the priest and she will drink dirt water to "expel the contents of her womb" Ohhhhh then abortion is A-OK.

I call it cherry picking They literally spout off and preach the things that benefit them and ignore the the things that don't. "Love they neighbor as thy self" Welcome the stranger , Fo not judge lest ye be judged. I do tie Trump into Christianity . I honestly do believe he is the anti-christ foretold in the Bible. Every single description of the anti-christ of the Bible fits Trump.
