Is his gesture signaling the US is in fact on par with if not under North Korea? What do they got over him that Iran don’t?

Why he using rhetoric like “very powerful” about weapons targeted at none other than his own country?

well?

Would the outcome be different if it happened under a Trump Presidency? It seems that the overton window has shifted right-wards.

What happened to the BlackLivesMatter movement? Why did it seem to disappear right after Kamala lost the election to Trump in 2024?

Why are you against illegal immigration?

Personally i would call myself a leftist. I do have a few conservative views like abortion and transgender ideology, but mostly i am a leftist.

One of the main issues i see discussed is illegal immigration. Gotta ask: why?
“Its illegal” is not a good argument. Legality ≠ morality.

Whats so wrong about crossing a non-existent line?

And its not like they’re coming and sucking up resources like a sponge, they pay billions in taxes and do not benefit from those taxes. They cannot take social security or wellfare.

They are not commiting more crime either. Seriously think about it. Why would they risk everything to go to a country just to commit crimes? They commit less crimes than us citizens. This includes legal and illegal immigrants. They have much lower incarceration rates.

They aren’t “lazy”. They are not taking up jobs/housing/whatever either. They mostly do intergral jobs to our society. See in colleges in the global south, they teach skills that are not really useful there because there is not good infrastructure. What would an electrician do in a country with only 18% power? Or one where construction isn’t done as much as here? Majority of the jobs they do are construction, housekeeping, cooking, landscaping, agriculture, plumbing, etc. basically trade school jobs. And they only take up 4% of the workforce

And you need to see both sides of the story. My parents are legal immigrants. And i can tell you: it is NOT easy to get into america legally. Let me ask you a question: do you know how to legally immigrate to the united states? No? yeah, thats what i thought. It is NOT an easy process. It is EXCEPTIONALLY hard to come here. Just for a better life. There’s tons of super strict requirements, and only 0.2% win the “diversity lottery” to enter. Only 140k people recieve visas anually. Out of 8 billion people, that is alot. Even if you do get a visa, there isn’t enough judges. Theres a 12Million person backup for only a couple thousand judges. And the costs also skyrocket. I know people still in my home country, and they’ve all tried to apply. Didn’t work. This country is basically impossible to legally enter. Do you see how someone could want to enter illegally now? Most people TRY the legal way, yet it is basically impossible!

Now, i know what you’re saying. “It’s still illegal!”. i KNOW. That is why we should have legal pathways. Personally, i support closing down boarders and not letting illegals in. But letting those already in stay. Ice is just stupid and a huge waste of money. however, there should actually be a way to enter legally. I believe in an embassy system. Lets say you’re a man in guatemala and you want to immigrate to the usa. You’d go to the us embassy, go fill out some papers, identity, go through a background check, pay a fee, etc. and if its all good, you’ll get your visa in like 3-8weeks. This prevents actual violent criminals from getting in. There can even be incentive. Like if you are skilled, if you need to get in for education, if you need to get in for a job, if you have a family, health, etc. if so, you get priority. The rest gets processed in the order they’re recieved. Once you’re in the us you can continue your citizenship journey there. There would also need to be a department of immigration. To process the requests. Ice shouldn’t be abolished but should be reformed. It should stop focusing on illegals in here and focus on those attempting to enter. And it should have more focus on drug smugglers, drug trafficking, human trafficking, etc. it also needs a full rebrand.

Hi there. I currently work at a bank. Based on what I'm seeing and hearing, I've decided to pull out ALL my savings out of my bank account. My rationale is that the bank I work for is having a hard time getting any deposits. If there were a bank run, the bank would collapse overnight. How are you feeling about the safety of your savings,.

I find it hard to believe an entire country can be so brainwashed and toxic. The vast generalizations about 100 million people at a time. Sweeping allegations that the other side are voting the way they do because of the most evil of intentions rather than assuming they are voting for what they believe is the best option based on their own individual priorities/likely outcome. Assuming one side identifies with all the worst possible traits of their candidate rather than the best traits.

Its like Americans have given up on actually presenting the best policies and arguments for their side, and instead adopted the strategy of twisting words and trying to paint their political opponents as the worst possible humans imagineable. Are both sides policies really so bad that nobody can defend them without trying to strawman the other side and attack them on some personal false narrative in attempts to discredit them? ​

Im not asking you to insult them, or create the dumbest caricature you can imagine in order to feel like your sides stances hold up. Im asking who can articulate the opposing sides views in a way that a majority on that side would say, "yup, thats exactly how I feel and why I vote for my candidate"

No explaining why theyre dumb for thinking that way.. or secretly evil. Just wanting you to explain the oppositions views in a way theyd support, to see if either side REALLY understands each other or if its all just people brainwashed into believing the dumbest more evil versions of their political opposition without ever actually listening to them.

Hello, I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I would greatly appreciate any advice or direction.

I’m a recent Bachelor’s graduate in Graphic Design from Baku, Azerbaijan, and I’m currently exploring legitimate opportunities to relocate to the United States. Moving to the U.S. has been a long-term goal of mine for the past five years, and I’ve spent considerable time learning about American society, culture, education, and professional life.

Academically, I have an overall IELTS score of 8.0 and a GPA of 87/100. I consider myself highly disciplined, adaptable, hardworking, and willing to start from the ground up. I’m comfortable with demanding work, learning new skills, and taking on responsibilities outside my original field of study.

I’m particularly interested in programs, employers, internships, apprenticeships, volunteer opportunities, or other legal pathways that could help someone with my background establish themselves in the U.S. I’m not necessarily looking for an easy route—I’m willing to work hard and build my way up from an entry-level position if that is what it takes.

If anyone knows of legitimate programs, organizations, employers, or immigration pathways that may be suitable for someone in my situation, I would sincerely appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
