Bets when someone over night will put up a crafty sticker to alter the official signage being erected. Its becoming clear from recent social media there is a section of conservative social media influencers who wants the illegal immigration debate to move from "illegal imigrants" to any and all native Spanish speakers. First Laura Loomer called for essentially genocide to be conducted against the Hispanic population (she is allegedly the Presidents former mistress, but there is debate what influence she has, or if she is expressing private beliefs held within the Cabinet). Now this; So a twitter account doesn't want to hear Spanish spoken again, and his answer/wish is for all Spanish speakers to be deported. Curtis Yarvin, aka Menicius Moldbug, is the founder of the Dark Enlightenment movement, and cited as a key infliuencer of Peter Thiel and JD Vance, and has previously championed a techno-monarchy system to replace US constitutional democracy, as well as ruminating on the reintroduction of slavery. His response to this poster is to suggest another social group should be put to work in the fields. We know who he means, and he doesn't mean ruddy faced good ol' boys. We will see more of this talk being put in the open, and normalized. And there are people on this forum deeply sympathetic with this position, and will likely cite a lack of these sort of policies is why they have to live in a Cambodian brothel.

I can't help it if your mummy's drinking caused you to develop ADHD coupled with OCD (you felt compelled to reply to a post you didn't read).

No, there is another way, based on innovation and IP. Additive manufacturing ("3D Printing") creates some interesting possibilities about where the value in a company lies. Europe and the US have a 200 year old industrial legacy. What that means is we have a hell of a lot of under utilised industrial infrastructure, mostly smaller factories and workshops. Perfect for microfactories, which are the oppositie to Henry Ford's now outdated approach to manufacture. Sure, the Chinese could build some huge factory, churning out lots and lots of virtually identical cars, which might or might not suite different drivers. A microfactory built around additive manufacturing, is at much smaller scale, producing models more in line with what you want, potentially at the city level. A conventional car factory, in order to switch to a new model, has to close down, retool up, and retrain the workforce. There is an enourmous supply chain to chase down, even for a styling change. Microfactory, no issue. The workforce is minimal, and constant; their role is to not make things, but monitor function. To update a model, you send a new set of instructions to the printer. Got a factory in a foreign clime that you need to pull out from? Send the code to brick the printers, write them off. No one is going to be able to use the printers again, and they can't even try and copy what was made there before. To compete you play to your strengths, not your weaknesses. If we have any faith in our societies being superior to authoritarian societes, its throught freedom that encourages creative thinking, reduced prejudice that ensures we are not blind to those who are the most capable and our innate consumerism; we do know what the customer wants, because we are there listening to them. The supply chain for microfactories will be completely radical. https://knaufautomotive.com/microfactories-how-will-new-technologies-shape-the-automotive-industry/ https://www.home.sandvik/en/stories/articles/2019/11/microfactory-driving-local-motors/

More likely due to bureaucratic snafu, due to Federal manning shortages, because of all the layoffs. The US government has also started a process of "denaturalization" which creates the possibility of a practically endless pipeline of illegal immigrants, which could be quite a useful thing to do during the electoral seasons. Once a person is stripped of US citizenship, they are automatically in breach of the Law. The government would be fairly free to shift the goalposts of who could be denaturalised. For instance, there are many Americans, who might be 2nd generation born Americans, who are automatically entitled to a second citizenship. So, if they are stripped of citizenship, it would be straightforward to argue that the state is not rendering them stateless, because they already have another nationality. eg Irish. Well known individuals who could be entitled to Irish citizenship include Mel Gibson, Martin Sheen, Mariah Carey, Mike Pence, Harrison Ford, Chuck Norris. Other countries that base citizenship on jus sanguinis include Portugal, Poland, Italy, Germany, Hungary. Once you know these countries, and if the government takes that apprach, you could use that fact to rat out neighbors you don't like, get them carted off to some camp for processing, or whatever happens there, which might give you a chance to claim their property by occupation (possession).

Ah, the semi literate scrubber from the Highlands, who said, in 2016, she started life in America as a dirt-poor under age servant escaping the even worse poverty of her native land, within 4 years of arrving in the US, worked as a Nanny, but got sacked, then worked as a domestic servant, but found the money for a return trip home in 1934. Immigration records show she described herself to British immigration as a "nurse". A year later, she went back to the US, now calling herself a "domestic servant" on the passenger manifest. By 1936, the unemployed domestic servant with the unintelligable accent had married her future husband, after meeting him at some sort of "party" where young up and coming entrepreneurs would get to meet poor immigrant girls.

Don't forget Trump Phones. No longer Made in USA, just designed in USA.

Second bet. 10 US citizens will be found there by the end of the year.

I just read the engineers used were sol piss poor, its flooding already. Someone has basically stolen $400m of your money in plain sight; $50m on a chicken wire enclosure, spirit the rest of the money away. What other explanation is there for hiring such poor engineers. The State Attorney General though doesn't understand international law. The United States, like every country, has absolute Sovereign control of it borders. The US government has control over who may leave the US, and who may enter the US, irrespective of nationality. No one has the absolute right, including Americans, to enter the United States. If you are a filthy paedophile who has run out of money in the brothels fo Cambodia, or a loony volunteer from Daesh, even if you are waving an American passport, an American birth certificate, the US can tell you to Foxtrot Oscar. And it cuts the other way. Deportation is a mutual agreement between two countries. Imagine a country like Russia or China, with access to all the capabilities of a super power, obtaining the identities of Americans who have been missing for a long time. They would have the ability, if they wanted, to produce impeccable identity documents, and amass a group of people labeling them Americans who have been found to be living in Russia illegally. They are being deported tomorrow. They have American passports. Should the US accept them? No, of course not. America has the right to keep Americans out if it wants. And the same cuts the other way. Just because some skinny says he's from, say, France, doesn't actually mean he is from France, and France might know he's not from France, so he ain't being deported to France. Gonna find all these smuggled in Taliban will now decide they are in fact Pedro from Tiajuana, so they can get another shot getting back in again and again and again. Placing bets when the first typhus case breaks out.

Out in the open now 65 million refers to the estimated number of Americans with a Hispanic background.

In reference to the contention that "billions and billions" of trade are at stake; in 2024, US exports to Russia amounted to $526m. Imports were worth $3.0 billion, ergo Russia is taking the US for a ride and should be punished with massive tariffs. https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/russia-and-eurasia/russia The amount of US goods at stake is slightly ahead of Tunisia, but behind Lebanon and Latvia. Even Cuba buys more goods from the Gringos than Russia. Haiti spent $1.2 bn on US goods.... Would the US economy be crippled if exports to Haiti or Aruba were halted?

DTRA had originally recommended tactical nuclear weapons. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/19/trump-caution-on-iran-strike-linked-to-doubts-over-bunker-buster-bomb-officials-say The issue is not whether a GBU-57 is dropped onto a target, but whether if it can penetrate the target to the necessary 300 feet depth.

I don't support the inclusion any such material in any school library, or indeed, educational estsblishment. Why are you interested. Which schools do you think should stock those kinds of books, since you have specifically highlighted elementary school libraries should not have them. Logically, then, you think some school libraries should have them. You are attempting to debate using the logical fallacy approach, but along the way making outrageous implications about the ciminality, or not, of forum members. A simple apology would suffice. When did you stop beating your wife?

Reference to this Reel "Rockaway Primetime Reporting" is a partisan account. I think its reference to the tour he gave Terry Moran from ABC before "that" interview. He struggled to describe what President Monroe had achieved besides the Monroe Doctrine. In the context of a debate on whether his mental faculties are failing, its pretty weak sauce.

I think Bush, whatever people think of him when he was in Office, is acting Presidential. His dad went further though. The closest Dubya has gotten, on record, is oblique references to press freedom. We don't really know what he said during the 2017 inauguration; its apocryphal, it kind of fits with his public character, but its better that he just stays silent on the matter. Irrespective of my opinion of a current President, past holders of the office should maintain a statesman like dignity, partly because they know the reality of that office, about what really goes on behind closed doors, and the difficult decisions all Presidents have to take, and life with. And it cuts both ways with a current leader commenting on his predecessor. In both cases, the Head of State represents ALL Americans, not just the ones who voted for him. I'd say the same about Prime Ministers, but constitutionally, that Office is entirely different, and the PM is merely First among Equals (PMs are easily replaced). https://www.politico.eu/article/former-presidents-walk-fine-line-in-trumps-america/#:~:text=Former presidents walk fine line in Trump's America – POLITICO. Yeah, I don't recall any of the former Presidents embarking on some sort of project in collaboration with the current incumbant; whether that's because they don't want anything to do with him, or vice versa, is not clear. When Trump shakes the hand warmly of a departing Biden, or is seen sharing a joke with Obama at a funeral, is it genuine, or just for the cameras. Is the very personal criticism of predecessors genuine, or just for effect? He spent 13 years literally acting a role for the cameras.

Why would Clinton be deported? Watching too much Happy Valley.

To be fair, Corporal Vance made a pretty good fist of standing to attention, saluting, properly attired. Colonel Hegseth, in his shrunken trousers, not so good. He needs someone how to pick a correct fitting suit when buying from JG Penneys. The President, hamfisted.

The controversy is over his transfer from Fordham to Wharton. Wharton's Admission Officer commented in 2019, that the man must have had a decent enough record to be accepted, thought at the time, in the mid-60s, was that more than half of transfers from UPENN were successful, compared to 7.4% today. In 1967, worst at Wharton was worst than most. It was then a below average college, but better than Fordham. In 2011, as a private citizen. Trump demanded publication of Obama's academic transcript. At the same time, as a celebrity at the time, Trump arranged for his own academic records. Its also a fact that on multiple occasions he has claimed to have been top of his class. While his academic records remain private, what are a matter of public record are Commencement Ceremonies Invitations and Deans Lists. https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2019/07/09/trump-overstated-academic-record-report-says He is listed as an ordinary graduand. Its also important to note, he did not graduate from Fordham. He did not attend the Wharton Graduate School of the University of Pennsylvania. He attended the Wharton Undergraduate School of the University of Pennsylvania. In the 60s, Wharton was then considered the easy route prior to transferring to the better College of Arts and Sciences. Its kind of like someone going to Oxford Brookes and 60 years later claiming they had graduated from the University of Oxford. He did not graduate with honors, such as cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude. This is not conjecture, but public record. Its also a matter of fact that the school awarded honours based on GPA. A score of less than 3.40 meant no honours.

Curiously, in the very recent past, the US government has complained about foreign governments interfering in its own internal politics, and has threatened retaliatory action. It must be ok now to do this, for, say, the Russian Government to reach out to various political groups and organisations within the US.

Locomotives and wagons can be kept running. But they can't stop rail from wearing out. Russia isn't a country without communications, and rail is a very important component of that. The road connections to the Far East have always been poor, due to vast geography and a low population in between Moscow and Vladivostok. Pilots flying into Domodedovo airport are seeing more and more cannibalised airliners. As civil aviation starts to break down, then passenger miles on the trains increases. But if derailment rate increases due to worn out track, then what. If the Far East becomes disconnected, then Russia, in effect, ceases to be a country, in that the Far East will increasingly seek their own agenda.

Or someone pretending to be a Russian, and is Barry from the Wirral, and doing a valiant job of trolling.

Depends how you are measuring "making money". The war is making the West collectively poorer. The West isn't making money. Defence spending might increase, but that's really just bringing purchases forward. And if defence spending increases, then there are cuts in expenditure elsewhere. How did the UK profit frm WW2. The Russian economy is converting to a war economy. Meaning more money is flowing to the oligarchs. Far from a price being paid that is worth it, they just see the money coming back to them. Referring to Ukraine as "the Ukraine" is a Russian habit, designed to diminish the legitimacy of Ukraine.

I was thinking more like Gaddafi. On the lam, found in a sewer pipe, bayonet up the jacksie, face his accusers across the bonnet of a pickup, before a coup de grace. Unmarked grave in a rubbish tip. But it won't happen.

You "dare" (drama queen!!) say no more, because you know it to be nonsense. I know what you are trying to allude to, but it is complete cobblers. Has been ever since Mosely tried it on. You are disgracing the memory of Stalin's millions of victims because of sheet ignorance, all because you have a desire to be liked.

Putin might not be an idiot, but he is an ignorant man.
