I see. Thanks for clarification. I assumed we were talking about snorting lines of powdered fruit. When it comes to putting blueberries into my butthole, I’d say I could manage half a pint, maybe more.

This is true but less interesting to me because I once had a job in a bakery making blueberry muffins. I had 50 lb bags of frozen blueberries that upon opening, would emit large clouds of blueberry aroma. Day after day, thousands of pounds of blueberries, so much blueberry vapor. I grew to hate the smell. I begged to be put on some other kind of muffin, but nope, I was the youngest and therefore lowest status in the bakery. So I’m not really a fan of blueberries.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

I’m trying to imagine what a bump of rass would be like. i just… hmm.

Be real man, you put a lot of effort into this community in the beginning, and then you just kinda… dissapeared. 'The lazy fuck they gave it to" indeed. Where were you?

Aw don’t worry you guys. The last time the US went all crazy with tarrifs was 1930 and that eventually worked out fine!

Ok thanks for straightening me out. I realize I was looking at this: https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/white-collar-crime/most-wanted

All i saw was “Most Wanted” and apparently ignored everything else.

This post inspired me to go and look at the fbi’s most wanted list and I shit you not, there’s no violent killers, there is a long list of people wanted for fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, fraudulent investment schemes, tax evasion, etc. It made me think: hey, wasn’t the president convicted of fraud? And tax evasion? I’m pretty sure.

So if the dept of education doesn’t exist anymore does that mean federal student loans don’t exist anymore and don’t have to be paid anymore?

The liberals are certainly not my comrades.

You can absolutely make rhe case that the origin of the current homelessness crisis goes further back, but it is undeniable that Reagan accelerated the process beyond any other set of post war policies.

You can also point to some short term benefits from that administration but you don’t mention that Reagan (and the party of fiscal responsibility) increased the federal debt from $738 billion to $2.1 trillion, thus transforming the USA from the worlds largest creditor to the worlds largest debtor.

Since Reagan, many people who called themselves conservatives and those who called themselves liberals both embraced neoliberal policies, and some benefited a lot. The long term consequences we see are dissapearing middle class, ever increasing income inequality and record levels of homelessness.

It also seems like no particular person or party is really to blame, these are just the natural results of late stage capitalism, invisible hand of the market and all that.

Good.point.

This is the same reason I don’t trust any Italians from Rome. Those Romans are always going around waging wars of conquest, demanding tributes, look what they did to Carthage! I still hold them dang Romans responsible for all those crucifixions. Horrible!

And don’t even get me started on those Hittites! Constantly conquering people, they had slaves too! Just as bad as the democrats if not worse. Whenever I meet an Assyrian I like to personally thank them for taking care of those Hittite bastards.

Yes let’s be honest. Your concern for immigration is really just a cover for your racism, isn’t it? Yeah I thought so.

What is happening here? Could it be there is a tiny progressive streak in that cold conservative heart of yours? Soon you’ll be admitting black lives really do matter! Glory hallelujah!

You really should get your TDS looked at before it becomes more debilitating

That’s all you got? People so concerned with crime are voting for a criminal, and all you can say is “TDS”! That must be how you deal with your cognitive dissonance.

OK, I can’t argue with that. In my defense I didn’t expect you to come at me with facts and logic, but when you’re right, you’re right.

I would accuse you of playing dumb but I don’t think you are playing.

You should understand that aside from the big cities, most of the state leans right. You should also be able to grasp that local officials have some influence over local political issues, like the implementation of various ballot measures. But you’re so hot to blame them dang ole democrats for ever bad thing, you want to act like you don’t know this?

I wont argue against the fact that democrats are largely useless, but how is going back to the war on drugs a better solution?

Not in Josephine county they aren’t.

It wasn’t democrats dragging their feet (or straight up obstructing) on treatment and social services for Americans in need.

The problem with democrats is that they are dumb for continually trying to collaborate with republicans, who don’t want to cooperate on anything.

Irrelevant. The issue here is the flaw in your thinking: you have been conditioned to believe that every desperate person who crosses that border illegally is a murderer, a rapist, an arsonist, a thief, a drug dealer, etc. You have been conditioned to think this way by a constant stream of propaganda.

undocumented immigrants have substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses. Relative to undocumented immigrants, US-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes. https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2014704117

If someone believes that a person who crosses the border without authorization is by definition a criminal and is subject to consequences, that would be understandable if they weren’t also planning to vote a convicted felon into the Whitehouse.
