You don’t have to imagine. Just ask a question: why would a court release someone with an immigration detainer on them?

Now, if you’re so inclined, you can research that answer. No imagination required!

the law that determines citizenship. Not identifying.

Which is funny, because these folks are probably more American than I am.

Companies that buy single-family homes say their businesses provide renters the opportunity to live in desirable neighborhoods where they otherwise couldn’t afford to buy.

That’s true, because companies buying SFHs make it unaffordable to buy homes in desirable neighborhoods. They are the solution to the problem they created.

Eran_Morad: Warning for violation of Rule #1.

This is clearly false, but let’s assume it’s true…how is this different DeSantis’s own dumping of immigrants into Martha’s Vineyard?

Can confirm.

There is nothing in the article that supports the headline. As far as I can tell, it’s just another way of saying ‘Americans are worry about the economy’.

I’m specifically worried about jobs, though. We need more jobs with better conditions and higher taxes on them. That sounds like a recipe for disaster, but that’s only true if we continue to allow the 1% to own more than the entire middle class. An excess of private wealth necessarily leads to an excess of public squalor.

All the science agrees; being sexually attracted to children isn’t something a person has control over, any more than a person can choose to be straight.

Okay, does it really say this? Where?

Always go to the study!

The disparity between red and blue states has little to do with anything Biden has done, experts interviewed by ABC News said, noting that federal policy typically holds minimal influence over state-by-state economic trends.

Instead, they added, the dynamic owes in large part to the appeal of warm weather states for workers and businesses, as well as the combination of company-friendly state policies and Democrat-leaning cities that attract young, educated workers.

Warm weather and Democrat-leaning cities are responsible for economic growth in red states.

Or on the flip side

"Dating back to when the president took office, he has enacted a set of historic legislative accomplishments that have very directly driven the historic labor market recovery and historic economic growth we’ve had,” Daniel Hornung, deputy director at the National Economic Council, a Biden administration group that advises the president, told ABC News.

Moreover, Hornung rebuked the notion that Biden’s policies have little to do with the particularly strong performances among red states, citing** legislative achievements that, in some cases, have disproportionately benefited red states. ** Biden’s legislative accomplishments are responsible for economic growth in red states.

OR, on even a third side, somehow…

“Presidents don’t really have a lot to do with state economic performance,” Terry Clower, a professor of public policy at George Mason University, told ABC News.

Instead, experts said that relatively strong red state performance results in part from business-friendly policies and attractive weather.

But George Mason University is basically a conservative school, so he would say something like that.

Okay, now do the genocidal anti-Palestinian support.

Warning. Violation of Rule #1.

Your post was 100% until that very, very last line.

That was found unconstitutional, too.

Originalism strikes again!

By using the Bruen ruling, the judge can ignore that very real safety issues of drug users getting guns, and just say “Well, drug tests weren’t historically required for getting a gun. And today is the same as the era of the Thirteen Colonies, so, they should still have fun! I mean, guns!”

Originalism as a legal doctrine is incredibly stupid. It basically boils down to 'We can have everything nice they had in early American history and no more! Don’t like them apples? Probably shouldn’t have been born in…modern America, where embryos are children, which wasn’t true in early American history!"

Yeah…I’m curious as to how this is going to go. It’ll be interesting, that’s for sure.

Am I totally misunderstanding what is being said here?

You are not.

So, I know where you’re coming from because I’ve read stuff by Edmund Burke and other conservatives. But, unless the conservative you’re talking with is the intellectual type, they probably haven’t. They’ve probably just internalized some version of social conservatism but would also be appalled that you’d accuse them of supporting social stratification even as they support it.

I learned some time ago that this particular argumentative strategy is incredibly pointless. They don’t care that you know the historical and philosophical foundation of their beliefs. For them, that foundation isn’t there for them. They probably don’t know it! Their life experiences inform them more than anything else.

Noncitizens aren’t totally barred from voting in San Francisco. In 2016, after multiple attempts in previous years to pass a similar measure, voters approved Proposition N, which allowed San Francisco noncitizens to vote in school board elections if they had a child who went to school in the district.

What’s wrong with voting in school board elections?

This isn’t merely disagreeing with someone. Telling someone to “shove this gun grabber shit” up their ass is just disrespectful.
