  • the Democrats had military storming our streets and black bagging US residents en masse

    The Posse Comitatus Act is what generally prevents military from “black bagging US residents” and leaves that job to police.

    Texas was the first state to allow for the national guard to assist in immigration efforts back in 2021. Democrats did nothing to stop, delay or prevent the expansion of those powers which were further pushed and nationalized in 2025.

    The other loophole is invoking the insurrection act. While Biden did not involve it it was repeatedly threatened during the Gaza war protests, however the protests never got too riotous for the Dems to risk damaging their image and the local police were perfectly capable of documenting and black bagging people for it.

    The cases of Kahlil and Mahdawi where Trump attended to deport individuals participating in those protests was made possible by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. That specific bill was introduced by the Democrats, passed the Democratic majority House and Senate, Vetoed by Democratic president Truman before being overridden by the house/Senate.

    You are correct that they are “not the same”, but stating that the shield of your enemy is your friend, just because it isn’t a sword is fucking insane.










  • That isn’t what he was convicted of. The charges brought that could’ve made this true were related to the 2023 federal indictment consisting of:

    four criminal charges of conspiring to defraud the government and disenfranchise voters, and corruptly obstructing an official proceeding.

    However, on November 25, 2024 Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the case without prejudice.

    The felonies he was convicted for were related to the March 2023 state indictment “The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump” which consisted of:

    34 criminal charges of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

    At no point has he been convicted of having:

    engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

    He was convicted of being a fraudster, con-man, liar and sex pest but not for being an insurrectionist. This isn’t a “illegal” problem, it’s a classic case of dual tier justice and the consequences thereof. The justice system is beyond fucked, and has been for a long time. Solutions will not be coming from that line of reasoning.







  • Those children grow up to be the ones writing policy. They are people too, don’t forget that you were also once a child.

    The “stupidest shit” that is said is often due to them being isolated and in a social bubble where those beliefs are the norm. Those “Internet arguments” may be the only exposure to ideas outside and social pushback outside said bubble.

    Lack of evidence of outcome is not evidence of outcome.

    If you’re getting heated you’re doing it wrong.

    The payoff isn’t to convince the other person one way or another, it’s to provide others reading the discussion alternative viewpoints. In this case pushing back against the idea that children’s thoughts, feelings and questions should be ignored.

    Base 16 is used all the time in computer science. The symbols for 9+ aren’t arcane or unrecognizable it’s 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F. It’s often written with an 0X in front to indicate hexadecimal or something like 'h for hex and 'd for decimal.

    Examples:

    • 'h7 = 'd7
    • 'hC = 'd12
    • 'hF = 'd15
    • 'h7CF = 'd(7 × 162) + (12 × 161) + (15 × 160) = 'd1792 + 'd192 + 'd15 = 'd1999
