Trump pardoned literal conmen for things way worse than Hunter had done and no one noticed or cared.

the thing is that this isn't a moral question but a legal one. And there are enough points against this fellow than worrying about it happening to citizens is a non starter and to me just a sign of virtue signalling.

When the right identifies with orcs it's usually about behaving exactly like the orcs do against the Others.
I don't think normal people identify with orcs so much as act like orcs due to being a Role Playing Game.
When the left identifies with orcs it's usually about the orcs being less evil than they are pictured.
but first they have to see themselves and their client minorities in the brutish war like Orcs, and THEN comes the new editions with Orcs no different than mexicans without a dental plan.

to add to what SteveKirk already said that I agree 100% with, I would consider the poor smuck on twitter that was sounding the alarm about the poor messaging for men days before the election, for which he was dragged by his own side (can't remember his handle, but he had his 15 min of fame), as a more valuable signal than the Ezra Klein or Matthew Yglesias of the world.

I get the feeling that a lot of these people wanted to speak up more loudly sooner, but it was only once progressives were properly on the back foot that they felt empowered to do so.
that sounds like cowardice, that they were unwilling to breach the party line, up until the catastrophe befell them and everyone was scrambling, like a chicken with its head cut off, asking what happened. Personally I would look for the lefties that didn't care to be excommunicated from the party and searched for the truth. After all, what good is a yes man?.

My humble opinion is that they (the wokies et al) notice, and they will continue and double down and berate you if you point at it at all. They simply don't care if you watch or not, its their vanity project, but that is ok because they are making it better for their people (hint: not you). They are the middle management, the marketing people and the danger hairs with liberal arts degrees.
So far they have been getting their way because they were propped up by pension funds like Black Rock and Vanguard, but now that there have been significant outflows of capital there have been some purges, but it won't be enough. Looking for example at Hollywood, the writers guild's strike looks to have been successful in getting concessions from the studios (chaperoned AI [meaning, AI can only be used by the writers themselves, not the studios to replace writers] and a minimum number of writers in each writer's room of 5 I think).
Battlefields I have seen:
Hollywood
Videogames
Tabletop Games (W40K)
Novels (Nebula award)
Localization of Japanese Entertainment
Gundam Model Kits (This one I think is more a product of the imagination of the antiwoke people, as yuri is an staple of Anime/Manga)
CoC's in Software Dev Projects (This plus the ousting of Linus)
The push for Woke language in programming (example: the Master/slave controversy of a few years)
Marketing in general (Always mixed race or minority pairings, sometimes ads not even related to the product but for the purpose of browbeating their core demographics, the Budlight fiasco, the Gillete ad of "boys will be boys")
The point of it is trying to change the culture from the middle down (remember they are the middle managers and their minions, while some CEO's are probably true believers like the Ice Cream dudes Ben & Jerry, the majority are only looking up to enrich themselves and their cronies like with Bobby Kotick), and if you have any objection it just means you are an enemy and your opinion doesn't matter to them. Just look at the bruhaha that is happening right now with the female Custodes or the Blowback the Lovely Complex Localizer got for giving ammunition to their critics when he went mask off.

If the choice is a 5-10 year wait or hop the fence, I don’t think you can act shocked when a lot of people jump the fence.
there are people that have no path to inmigrate legaly to the US, be that a 5-10 year wait list or 2 weeks, and that their only way forward is through fence hopping. Think gang members, non-skilled people, minors, etc. the only way to stop them is going to be enforcing the border one way or another.

“Honestly, I think you are going to have to let go a little bit or she might go crazy after she gets out yalls house. All of her behavior was appropriate for a 17 year old. I was doing these things at 17. Almost all of my high school and the high school down the road were doing these things. And worse…. The way you go forwards is going to determine whether you are in her adult life.”
There’s a significant attitude of “Teens are going to engage in risky behaviors no matter what, your punishments and restrictions will have zero deterrent effect, and the best course of action is some kind of harm reduction.”
I'm more of the opinion that it is preferable to not be in their life when they aren't your responsibility anymore, than being present in their funeral when they still are. That sub sounds like a bunch of childless kidults with a "hello, fellow kids" attitude.

I personally are fine with anti-conservatives content IF it is something true or reasonable. But more often than not the post is a thinly veiled screech and the poster is Darwin's clone #346322 with no intention of engaging in good faith. This last tactic of deleting top level comments is just anoying, I didn't even know what the 2 deleted posts were about, just something Trump related; which is the reason for my question (plea).
I don't think no one who does that is really looking to engage in good faith.

in my opinion The right wing gets free speech and all it entails, and the left wing freeze peach and all it entails. That means I'm judging them based on their own standards without any hypocrisy involved and I get to keep my moral high ground, thank you very much.

Well, of course it's better to be with your biological parents in the mayority of cases. But the point I was making is that if it isn't possible for the child to be with them, there are other options.

If it was the same energy I would have been slapped too. I gave an example of what is more probable to happen in the hipotethical of 40% muslim country using past behavior, you just snarkily took what I said and twisted it into the less charitable way possible.
As for your your snark, it's not necessary for every Hispanic to be a Latin Kings member, they just need some members in the neighborhood. That is how territory works with gangs.

It's a genuine problem: a citizen can't be deported, but what if the citizen is a minor (a very young minor as in this case)? With no closer legal family members than a possible aunt by marriage?
I would assume in that case the foster system is the place to put them

Last I heard about it, the poor performance is due to the Original engine to the game still being in the background and using the UE 5 for the updating of graphics and what not.

I'm not at all convinced that that "pair bonding" is a super significant phenomenon
How do you explain entire animal species mating with only one partner for life while other species don't?

I don’t recall anything that could be considered a mistake from her.
she laughably refers several times to project 2025 in connection to Trump and repeats the debunked "fine people on both sides" story.

I think a good way to avoid that trojan horse scenario would be to only permit entry to high achieving people from that region of the world as I would assume they are more likely to follow medical advice.

"But GW isn't introducing female space marines. So that's a non-issue." is the "it's just a couple of kids in college campuses,..." of tabletop. Anyone paying attention to the hobby culture wars already knows what is the next step, especially after the "Warhammer is for everyone" message.
The whole point of the suit is that the process by which Musk's award amount was reached was biased in his favor, not a neutral process.
This isn't true, as the NYT puts it, the targets were a "series of jaw-dropping milestones" or "laughably impossible". It's biased in Musk's favor in the fevered mind of that stock pauper, but the lawsuit and subsequent rulings are just political activism fueled by anti-Musk animus.
EDIT.- I'm going to go one over and affirm that the only people that are against the pay package are political activists like the plaintiff and the judge or people that don't know the details of the package and are just following what their peers are telling them to believe. That is how good of a freaking deal it was to the shareholders.
what is more probable to happen is that the Latin kings will close off their neighborhoods (like they did during the summer of love) when the islamists begin to act up and you will be one of the first to appear in the local newspaper.
