  • Under the law, the word “reasonable” is not the loophole that it looks like at first blush.

    Reasonable suspicion requires some degree of concrete evidence, it just means it doesn’t have to be a smoking gun. For example, reasonable suspicion of stealing would be something like a person being in possession of an inexplicably large number of unopened electronics when there has just been a burglary of an electronics store nearby. They dont have to have you on camera recognizably stealing to arrest you in that circumstance.

    Being black and in the vicinity of the robbed electronics store would not be something that “reasonable suspicion” covers under the law. This ruling is no different. It basically says that ICE cant just stop random brown people on the street, or conduct raids on random workplaces. They have to be looking for specific individuals for arguable reasons



  • No, Im saying you should fuck off because youre too lazy to neutrally asses information, and too pathetic to question your obviously understudied opinion. You made no real argument whatsoever originally other than saying Obama wasnt a neoliberal president, which is just baseless and stupid. You refuse to asses information from an article that well predates the Palestinian Genocide by a longshot and has nothing to do with the conflict whatsoever. Youre just outright ignorant quite frankly

    Best of luck living with your head in the sand, Im done responding to someone who doesnt converse in good faith



  • Lol dude. If you think my perspective is not sound and that Obama isnt a classic neoliberal politician then you need to study his presidency yourself. The only one here confused about what actually went down is you.

    Here, have an article to get you started

    Literally the only thing remotely distant from neoliberalism that Obama ever accomplished was Obamacare, and even then that was just a half-assed version of actual progressive policy like single payer healthcare or medicare for all. And the reasoning behind why we never got real progressive policy when they pushed Obamacare is because the DNC is a neoliberal party in sheeps clothing. Just as Obama was. Read a thing or two before you say dumb shit online. The democrats had full control of the government, they could have revolutionized our country just as magats are doing now, instead they barely accomplished anything. They didnt because theyre a bunch of neoliberal fuckers. Its factual, not subjective


  • Calling the death of Del Monte foods a tariff casualty while attaching graphic evidence that Americans just dont want canned fruits and vegetables anymore is pretty stupid.

    People are now more health conscious on average than American consumers have ever been. Most consumers are wise enough now to realize that if they want greenbeans or whatever its best to buy fresh beans and cook them. The canned alternative has so much salt in it that it might as well be a corned beef hash.

    Like seriously, if you put as much table salt onto fresh cooked beans as comes in the average can you wouldnt even find them edible anymore. That is the death of Del Monte. Not tariffs. Tariffs were just the death knell of what consumer behavior already started decades ago. No one wants to eat 30% of their DV of sodium in a serving of beans




  • The DNC is definitively a neoliberal party. Obama was one of the most neoliberal presidents we have ever had, as far as social attitudes go. He massively carried water for the whole “if I made it, anyone can” and “black people suffer from a culture of poverty” type of nonsense, both of which serve an agenda that is against providing social safety nets and actually helping people improve their lives. Neoliberalism is all about blaming individuals for the failures of government as a means to avoid bolstering social services

    “Neoliberals have been run out of the DNC” is absolutely nonsense. Neoliberals running the DNC is 99.9% of the problem with the DNC today. Its the reason why true progressive politics fail so often


  • A state that is captured by the voting power of land over individuals. Missouri state government is completely beholden to the hoosiers in the boonies because there are more rural counties even though there are far less rural people. And then secondarily the rural people are propped up by dumbass McBee-wannabe suburbanites that vote conservative and wear cowboy boots recreationally.

    Governor HeeHaw 2.0 is one such dumbass suburbanite who went to Chaminade in St. Louis, grew up rich, and now cosplays as the hoosier’s champion

    Missouri at large is far more purple than the state government allows it to appear. It was purple for a long time and its still purple today, but a purple state that gives more voting power to land than people ultimately ends up red. Just look at our federal electoral system, its the same thing








  • The justice department also released video surveillance of the hallway outside of Epstein’s cell, although the digital clock on the tape skipped from 11:58:58pm to 12:00am. Officials did not address the jump and added that no further materials would be made public.

    Ah yes, the hallway footage with a minute cut out of it. The only footage we have because the camera in his cell was coincidentally not operational. And the only account we have of the events because both of the guards who were assigned to watching the most high-profile dude in the prison, while he was on suicide watch, in a camera-less cell, happened to both be asleep.

    Surely this guy totally killed himself
