The Real timschochet 6,421 Posted October 5, 2024 @jerryskids I actually agree with the CATO opinion piece you linked, and disagree with Walz on the question of restricting free speech- in terms of general principles. Nonetheless I regard your statement that Walz is a threat to the 1st Amendment as an exaggeration. There ARE specific instances where it might be OK to curtail speech, as Oliver Wendell Holmes famously pointed out. This is a complicated issue IMO with lots of nuances. I don’t fear Walz or any Democrat as a threat to democracy. I DO think Trump is somewhat of a threat to democracy- not quite at the level some liberals do but a threat nonetheless. But that’s a different issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dizkneelande 1,085 Posted October 5, 2024 If the Twitter files taught us anything it’s that the left is perfectly ok with fascist free speech restrictions as long as it benefits their side and, will completely ignore the uncanny alliance of academics, journalists, intelligence operatives, military personnel, government bureaucrats, NGO workers and tech companies. There’s nothing wrong with military contractors like Mitre being part of the Aspen Institute's "Information Disorder" report along with NGO and academic colleagues. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s a new film coming out about how awful they were the first time around; this time they will be worse. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt33029968/ I get that undocumented immigration worries people. I get that a lot of folks are scared about the costs, that it’s out of control, etc. But separating families? Rounding up millions of people? Is that truly who we are? I hope not. Separation is not the goal and never has been. Separation of families was a necessity thrust upon us by the overwhelming surge of migrants. The shear numbers forced us to build temporary camps. Camps in which it would be dangerous for minors to mingle with adults, some of those adults being predators, trafficers, and generally violent. We could not protect the minors if intermingled with adults so we gave them their own facilities. Yes, some were not reunited or only slowly reunited with their parents. This was and is due to poor or no documentation by the parents and the large number to be processed. This was the migrant's choice, not our goal. I note that the Biden/Harris regime has continued this and has lost tens if not hundreds of thosuands of children in their more human use of the bureaucracy. I note that separation also began before Trump. One might conclude that uncontrolled, overwhelming migration which overwhelms our capacity is to blame. One might, but you don't. as for rounding up millions. We round up millions of americans every year. It is called law enforcement.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ss for rounding up millions. we round up millions of americans every year. it is called law enforcement.. I strongly disagree with you on both points. On the first point these people weren’t separated out of any humanity- just the opposite. It was deliberate cruelty designed to make people afraid to come here. Completely wretched and unamerican. Watch the movie. Second, law enforcement doesn’t “round up” anyone. They arrest individuals who have committed crimes. They don’t arrest whole groups of people. That’s the tactic of dictatorships not this country. Enjoy your day in the high country. I am off to Pittsburgh to see the Steelers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don’t care if you give a fuk about it or not, (though if you don’t I’m sad for you.) Forcibly separating families in order to scare people from coming here is wrong.

Forcibly separating families in order to scare people from coming here is wrong. It’s objectively evil, and nothing you write can ever justify it. Is it wrong? Maybe there should be inherent risk when you enter a country (or stay in one) illegally. Look... if you can keep the families together as you remove them from the country, great. But why should we be going out of our way to make sure of that? I am a generally compassionate person but I totally understand a lot of American's being tired of our country putting other countries first. ----------------- slightly different note, I have a friend who dates an illegal Brazilian. I know exactly how she got to the US and exactly how she stayed, and of course... why she can't travel now. Since she came here, she has been able to get her half brother here, and she is working on getting her daughter (23) here as well. It's an absolute shame this stuff is allowed to happen. When people who defend this claim that these people are not taking jobs from American citizens, it's pure BS. This woman works as a hair stylist, paid under the table of course. If she was not in the country, and could not be paid less money under the table, there are plenty of legal woman who would love to have that job. Where this woman happens to live, there is a huge Brazilian population, many here illegally and looking for American men to marry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 14,934 Posted October 5, 2024 Real Tim can’t think of any good reason to separate a child that shows up at the border form the person they showed up with. Good thing Harris/ Biden did away with DNA testing of kids so there wouldn’t be an inconvenient revelations. Now he’s making excuses for easier child trafficking. You are pure garbage Tim.

The Real timschochet 6,421 Posted October 5, 2024 Very good interview here with a pair of posters, one Republican one Democrat: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/10/05/what-the-polls-are-really-saying-00182588 They go inside the numbers with good and bad news for both parties. The consensus seems to be that Harris is going to win, but that Republicans will win the Senate to keep her in check. I think that’s right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,421 Posted October 5, 2024 Lots of Steelers fans here in downtown Pittsburgh but also a lot of Cowboy fans walking around. Just visited the Andy Warhol museum and it was crowded with both. One main impression I am getting from my visits this week to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh: people here are sick to death of this election. Trump and Harris are everywhere, you can’t escape it. I imagine the folks here are probably proud of the fact that in all likelihood they get to decide this thing for the rest of us but I also think they’ll be happy when it’s finally over.

Reality 3,097 Posted October 5, 2024 I know it's all fun and games on this site but, imagine meeting a white male in public that actually admits he's voting for Harris\Walz. Seriously, imagine it. In the everyday world, it simply didn't exist. Next time you argue with somebody on this site about this election, remember that. These are white middle aged men who are voting for Harris. These are the most pathetic men in US history, not really a close second... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
