Well you opened with nuance failure about progressives / open borders. But sure... You sidestepped whether progressive policies indirectly suppress wages. You blamed libertarians and companies but don’t answer the question. You admitted illegal workers keep costs low, yet ignored how they undercut citizens’ pay. Your ‘who else will do these jobs?’ assumes no one would, with no proof. And you dodge the issue by insulting uneducated workers. Many words that Avoid. Deflect. Contradict. the core claim that progressive policy for lax border enforcement allows more illegal workers into the U.S., which suppresses wages for low-skill American citizens.

Was a chunk removed or was it a scratch? Superficial wounds heal quickly and is plausible.

Plenty of self-identifying progressives believe in open borders. https://fpif.org/progressives-should-support-open-borders-with-no-apology/ I'm ignoring the 'what about' libertarians... of which also have some that do and do not support open borders.

...a 1 minute google pulls up AP articles that claim the FBI, which hates Trump, confirmed he was shot in the ear, and he was medically reviewed within ~30 minutes of the incident at Butler Memorial Hospital.

Nobody is picketing mitochondria. Worldview is scope creep.

Outlandish? ...that progressive outcomes can actually work against social justice? "Social justice means giving everyone a fair chance at a good life, no matter who they are, by fighting unfair stuff like being poor or treated badly, using teamwork and changes." Progressive enable unfair wages via illegal labor through open borders and lax enforcement. Open borders and weak enforcement leads to more illegal workers. With illegal workers willing to work for less because they are here illegally and cannot demand better, their wages stay low or drop. Actual citizens lacking skills and education cannot compete with illegal alien wages... and an increase in illegal workers can cut wages for low-skill citizen workers. Progressives (and others) that support illegal labor are screwing American citizens. ... A similar line of reason extends easily to criminal rights over victims, etc. The words sound nice and the deeds are not...

Ignorance isn't bliss forever... In my state, I’d start with every kid opted in to public sex ed, flood parents with clear details on the curriculum and their power to pull out... guaranteeing transparency and parental control.

i give it a B for trolling. but also true…

Yea this is true on abortion, sex ed, and religion in ed. All very touch subjects with sound reasoning behind the beliefs.

Progressive outcomes seem to undermine justice. They enable unfair wages via illegal labor through open borders and lax enforcement. They prioritize criminals’ rights over victims. They define rights / benefits by race. They strip personal choice / freedom. Words vs. deeds...

I see and appreciate what you are saying... but pitbull is a stretch. Progressives are less about defending their territory and more about dragging everyone into their yard. A pitbull doesn't care what you are doing in your yard but they will end you quickly in defense of theirs. If not a jack russell terrier, a progressive is more like a border collie. A collie had a lot of positive traits that fit... but the progressive has less discipline...

It’s not about progressives living their views or ruling themselves; it’s when they force those views on the majority, stripping freedom, grabbing resources, and breaking trust. That’s when the patience ends. You can replace 'progressive' with most ideologies and cross a line. The math is not in the progressive's favor is the point being made, in a dogmatic manner of speaking.

I'm not starting anything, I'm sharing math.

It would be ugly and unwanted by everyone sane. Remember that gun ownership is 3 to 1 in favor of one ideology, the ideology that knows how to use them while having the discipline to use responsibly. Sometimes the little terriers nip one to many heels.

Yes like a 10 pound Jack Russel Terrier... hyper, loud, relentless, scrappy... and completely outmatched by the 200 pound Mastiff... sleeping through the noise until the line is crossed... then game over. Thankfully the Mastiffs have enormous patience.

the defense needs cuts; not more. disgusting. but cheated by DOGE? no!

It wasn't fully rhetoric and it wasn't about Harris specifically. The calm, clear-eyed stoics would eventually move to violence if there was continuation of progressive culture and policies. It takes a lot longer for the silent majority of strength to respond, but it would be effective and efficient when moved to act.

What is a critical thinkers framework to 2020 election being the most secure ever? Observe oddities, ask questions, seek answers... Oddities The Spanish flu pandemic saw a decrease in voters. Yet the covid pandemic saw 23M more votes in 2020 compared to 2016, and more votes than the "most consequential election in U.S. history” 2024 vote. 19 states had no ID rules. Ballot harvesting is legal in some states Counting was paused Real people testified to problems that resulted in 60 court cases; mostly tossed on standing rather than merit. Favorito's Georgia case (145K ballots) still lingers in 2025. The Biden laptop suppression... The "Cabal" steering outcomes... “Hundreds of millions” spent to change rules, influence media, and control info flow. The published article in the Times about "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that saved the 2020 election." You mentioned Dominion... okay The University of Michigan computer science professor J. Alex Halderman hacked the Dominion ImageCast X machine in multiple ways from seconds to minutes in front of government officials. Now ask questions... And seek answers...

I didn't say J6 is propaganda, I said propaganda is spun throughout. You seem to see it through one lens and not through both. This doesn't reflect well critical thinking. Very similar reflection on election security rhetoric. There are many signals, you brought up "Dominion." That isn't one that I was thinking of... though I wouldn't exclude it based on evidence.

It would be best for the consumer if the Toyota Hilux was available in the US. GIVE US THE HILUX

"The 2020 election was the most secure in U.S. history" is more rhetorical than provable. There are many unanswered signals that run counter to it... suppressed/omitted/spun by the trusted media and judicial system... J6 has so much propaganda spun throughout... Someone is not thinking critically when they believe what the media and government organizations said about those...

We are in the wait and see mode. Where if you have funds, it is time to buy. The timeline ends in late 2025/early 2026 based on Trumps push for a economic rush in 2026.

So my first question is why Tesla has factories in other counties. I don’t know but wonder if it relates to tariffs that other counties impose on the US. Germany is not cheap.

Actually some of those Republican survey results paint Democrats in a horrific light.

I wonder if there is a reboot nightly or every Sunday at 3AM to clear cache and reset memory? Seem's like a just-in-time restart approach. It's blazing fast after the restart. I'd wager with our small community that this is a one to two server self-hosted setup and we don't care much about a 5 minute down time weekly in favor of performance.
