Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Tweeted in support of the NFL protesters and added that JFK quote, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” Which. Is unfathomably woke for NASCAR

Obviously, I’m not linking to the article, because when I step in dog shit, I don’t turn to someone and say “You gotta try this“, but also because the joke tells itself

Seeking asylum is legal.

To dive into it a bit more: Pretend the US economy collapsed largely because of Canada’s repeated interference in US economy or the economy of neighboring countries that might have been functional trading partners. After taking resources from America over the course of decades, installing pro-Canada politicians in local and state governments, and possibly even aiding in the creation of these roving gangs, Canada withdraws humanitarian support. They say that America needs to support itself and its own people and that sure they might have done some things a very long time ago (It wasn’t) but now America needs to create a functional government of its own. One not filled by the corruption that they helped to create.

None of which helps with the roving gangs breaking into homes and killing people.

But, seeking asylum is, on paper, legal. In order to legally cross into Canada you need to fear for your safety or for the safety of your family and seek asylum. Well, there are roving gangs, abuse is rampant, and the police force is either functionally useless or in the pockets of these groups so, hey, you have that down!

But you need to move quickly because there are people who want to make this PERFECTLY LEGAL means of immigration illegal, in which case there are no other nearby countries that you could flee to. And the current Prime Minister keeps saying they’ll close the border entirely, threatens bringing in guns, and it becomes increasingly clear that the longer you wait, the more violent and unlikely it is that you’ll be able to find a home in Canada.

So you cross. Legally.

Canada takes you at gunpoint, strips your two year old of anything that you’ve given them, and deports you. Months pass, no word from your child. You hear reports, they could be dead, dying, adopted into a Canadian family, or sold to human (usually sex) traffickers. No one knows, because no one is keeping track of what happens to American kids. You try to reach out for help and you get told that you should have followed the law.

Which you did.

And they stole and possibly murdered your kid for anyway.

What leftists fear isn’t an ~imperfect candidate~

What leftists fear is a democrat will take the reigns from Trump, continue on the same path only with better PR, and suddenly half the angry voices we thought were backing us up have suddenly disappeared.

You guys remember how fuck-off huge the anti-war movement under Bush was?

Remember how it blew away like a fart in the wind?

What climate deniers don’t understand is that it is logistically impossible for anthropogenic climate change to be a hoax or a lie or fabricated for a political agenda.

You have essentially all scientific institutions and independents all over the globe in all natural fields under all political environments reporting phenomenon consistent with a sudden, significant shift in global climate trends.

There is absolutely nothing they have to gain by backing one another up. They don’t share money. They don’t even share cultural reasons that would ever explain sharing the same “bias.” There is no “big science.” The majority aren’t even doing for-profit work or ever CAN make more money depending on their findings, nor has the scientific community proposed any solutions that they even get paid for. They’re literally telling corporations and politicians how to fix their own shit and how to do it with extremely minimal loss in profit margins.

Meanwhile, the self-proclaimed “experts” who deny climate change or deny a human influence on it ARE consistent with a profitable agenda: there’s only a handful of them, they all contradict each other, they seldom even have reputable scientific background and they are connected to the same big businesses who might lose a couple bucks in profit if we tighten environment laws. You truly have to have ZERO comprehension of science, nature, business, politics and the world in general to believe for even a moment that there’s a “climate change conspiracy” intended to make some science guys into millionaires. It flat-out does not work that way.
