Trump Admin Needs To Be More Aggressive On Illegal Immigration

The Trump administration can't allow its deportation policies to be dictated by the outrage of the left and the propaganda press.

Civil Asset Forfeiture is incompatible with our "innocent until proven guilty" system of jurisprudence.

Holy shit I got a question that was "which type of radiation has the greatest penetration power?" and I at first thought it was alpha but then I remembered this image

does anyone else feel like we need to raise the standard for writing quality across all mediums like right now

[up-north-values]

While this is a sentiment I agree with, the presence of the incorrect plural of medium, combined with an utter lack of capitalization or punctuation, suggests to me that OP is part of the problem.

Black coffee has no filter,no sugar, no mask. Just pure, honest, exactly what it is. There's a quiet lesson in that.

Série de gravures sur bois de la Renaissance allemande, réalisées l'artiste allemand Erhard Schön vers 1535, représentant différents types de lansquenets (Landsknechte), célèbres mercenaires d'infanterie originaires des États du Saint-Empire romain germanique.

Ces œuvres illustrent la diversité des fonctions militaires – officier, maître artilleur, sergent ou fantassin – ainsi que les tenues extravagantes qui firent la renommée de ces soldats à travers l'Europe.

It's just kind of alienating, really. Majority of people who read way below their grade level in school continue to be borderline illiterate as adults, and they still consider the ability to parse meaning and subtext as some kind of bizarre act of deception and dishonesty. Like you're just making shit up to fuck with them when you can infer meaning from words, unlike everyone else who is just blindly stumbling through life.

Scary now watching live as the barely functional readers around us are now slowly melting their brains with chat gpt.

Dude... allow me to add to your trove.

I have a folder of these on my phone... I'm not sure what that says about me!

Most of these look like they wanted to emphasize those words, the way one might use bold or italics.

But their questionable use of method gave an opposite effect.

[beaked-whales-in-exile]

Yep. Sometime around the mid 60s or so, in American English, quotation marks became used for sarcasm rather than their previous use for emphasis. So you see them used for emphasis by older boomers and before, but younger boomers, X, and after use them exclusively for sarcasm.

My usual go to example is an old pizza restaurant from my hometown that's been there since the 40s. Their boxes sport the slogan that I'm sure hasn't been changed since the very beginning:

"Quality" you can taste.

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

That barrel is all chamber. Probably not even rifled 😬

[up-north-values]

Also, isn't there someone here on gunblr who demonstrated that he could conceal a pump shotty? For some reason, I'm thinking "Remington" was in his username...

[mexicain-sans-frontiers-v2]

@call-me-remi could probably CC a serbu super shorty or a Mossberg 990. He makes a mk23 look like a Glock 17

[up-north-values]

Thanks, that's who I was thinking of = )
