The best place to get coverage of the protests in LA is from video from individuals on the scene. The totalitarian government is lying about them and the traditional media is largely unreliable — complicit or fatuously both-sidesey.

In many cultures around the world, the guest-host relationship is practically sacred. Hospitality is a moral imperative. What happened yesterday will have shocked neutrals around the world. Such rudeness to a guest in one’s own home is unthinkable. It was barbaric behaviour.

Sometimes I wish they would use the bones of Dragon Ball GT and re-adapt it within the Super timeline to take place after Super. Even if they switched up who went on the adventures, I'd be fine if it was Goten instead of Goku or something. I'd be down for like a GT Brotherhood or something.

Yes. The AG shouldn’t be under investigation by the DOJ. The Director of National Intelligence shouldn’t be on a TSA watch list. The HHS Secretary shouldn’t be an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. The Secretary of Education shouldn’t have a history of allowing men to abuse children. 🤷♂️

2) Trump's base wants him to arrest A LOT of enemies right now. But a goodly number of their desired targets will make fairly compelling martyrs around which to form a resistance.

Two points about Trump's admin. 1) There's a different between being incompetent and competently pursuing bad policies that will have detrimental effects. Mass deportation will get caught up on BOTH: it's hard to deport efficiently, BUT ALSO, it will drive up food and housing costs.

Just so everyone knows, the "mass deportations will bring down high housing costs" is a soft eugenics argument that comes directly from the Tanton network. It's an old chestnut of theirs, just like saying that undocumented people take care away from veterans. It's all bullshit
