    Fun fact, Bud The Chud was played by the dude who played Beef in "Phantom Of The Paradise" and the suicidal Q, Quin, in Voyager's "Death Wish".

    These posts are so young, basically children... and you want to cage them up in a different thread?

    You're exactly as much of a monster as Obama. :jayzus:

    The whole Biden Bro thing is disappointing, but not unexpected. Obama did not change the US when he was elected. He sort of kept things going as they were. Biden was more republican than he was, so why would I expect things to reach back to even pre-trump levels under him? That is why I never supported him.

    I see now that his people just wanted to do the bare minimum and pretend something great was going to happen while they cling to what they have and go back to being anally raped by the system. They like to pretend they give to the needy while they really give to charities that just collect money to pay the rich and drop little bits into actually helping people. There are people who want to do things, but the over all consensus is lip service and pretending we did great things.

    This does not just apply to politics, but also to life. Look at @14thDoctor and @Ten Lubak . Really @Amaris have these people been much more than your basic tough guy nothings around here? If ten put in the effort he does for repping me into actually doing something he would actually be a decent poster. The dude spends time every day he comes here searching my posts and repping me, and he has even dug deep into searching my wordsalad of a history, but he cannot even back up his bullshit when I start it off for him. The 14th does a tucker carlson and calls on people to assault Nazis, yet when the Nazis are marching all over the country he was sittingi on his ass when they were probably a 10 minute drive from him protesting.

    This is the laziness of misgendering someone. I tossed that insult out there when I arrived. I could have come here and played female and maybe someone would have figured it out, but I give people that because it lets me know who the lazy morons are. Despite everyone's complaints I do not think I have overly changed many of my evaluations regarding people since I first got here. There is a bit of a disappointment at the trolling level, but really the Biden Bro group is who they always were. Kids in cages did not matter when Bush set up the NHS and ICE outside of our police system so they did not have to abide by the same regulations law enforcement and corrections has. They overlooked it as Obama enhanced it and made it worse. They yelled a lot when trump made it a lot worse, but decided putting someone in who would actually do everything in their power to make it better was way to socialist. So we got Biden.

    Biden is the vast majority of America, and that is the root cause of all of America's problems because the country could be amazing for most of it's people instead of just an elite few.

    @Ten Lubak, I know we have our differences , but I think John is dealing with a lot. Maybe you could back off a little? I tried PMing you this, but apparently you have blocked me.

    There's a lot to go through here. @Amaris, I see that you posted some links when I said "citation needed" a few pages back, and I will look at them. Didn't want you to think I was being dickheaded.

    To gently steer the conversation back on topic, I agree that open borders (regardless of what country we're talking about) are the way to go. However, some level of processing is going to be needed no matter what the American government decides. I admit that I do like the idea of putting people up in hotels, but @14thDoctor has a point that unsupervised minor children will need to be...well, supervised. But let's be real here, all of this would require a massive amount of social spending and New Deal-levels of government job creation for the inevitable influx of immigrants that would ensue if the borders were opened. Even with the borders as they are now, the situation is well beyond the ability of charities to fund adequately. A robust government response is needed (I think I just made @Uncle Albert faint). Is Biden the president for that kind of response? No. I admit that. Even if he was, would he have the support of even a Democratic-majority Congress? No. This country is not going to change its immigration policy anytime soon. So I admit that even if @Amaris is wrong about policy decisions made in the past, she's right that the situation on the ground right now is untenable. I feel like we know what needs to be done, but...it's not going to happen. So now what?

    Starcream sounds like a Transformers porn name.

    Yes, it would take some time to set up what would be needed in some cases. The problem I have with that excuse is it is throwing the baby out with the bathwater because we are just avoiding that road entirely because it would be hard. Is the US putting together something that would use shelter and services we have built to do this? We have a ton of people out of work. We have the ability to supervise things with cameras that are a dime a dozen. We have the rooms and facilities sitting there because the rich would rather them rot than be used. We even know the problem is there because it has been there for decades and yet we do nothing. So that is just an excuse because Biden and the dems have their solution of cages and are using them and deportation. I am understanding about it takes time, but we are stopped and not planning on going down that path so it will never be done.

    As for the kids, if you have food, water, shelter, and some care there most of them are going to stay safe while you find out where they can go. The idea that these are little ninjas who are going to disappear into the night as soon as they can to rape and pillage our people is a right wing lie. They are kids and if they have food, water, and adults helping them they do not need such cages. Yes, we should supervise them to make sure they do not play in traffic, but if we make the place nice most are going to stay around. We treat them like prisoners wanting to escape. I will admit that treatment will make humans want to escape, but if we approached it from a more reasonable stance and actually started setting things up right there would be much less problem and need for cages. The reality is as with most animals the use of cages results in the need for more cages. Humans are not like animals so we do not need to go down that path.

    It's a global pandemic, everyone's dealing with a lot. Most of us aren't being toxic, dramatic, deeply insulting assholes while simultaneously trying to soak up as much pity as possible. :async:

    Not.

    How can you say that bullshit with a straight face?
    After we've seen together from the fucking beginning of this place how many "libertarians" went full fuckin' fash?
    "Freedom" my rosey red ass!!
    Are you fuckin' kidding me?
    Did you take amnesia pills?
    Did you wash 'em down with paint thinner?
    Kee-rist!!

    So, let me tell you how snuggling up to them ends.
    They'll make a token of you like Blair White.
    They'll get you to stab your own community in the back for pats on yours.
    If the fashies ever take over, they'll keep you as a pet for awhile.
    Eventually, they'll tire of you, and kill you.
    They'll blame Democrats for your death, and weave you into their stupid fuckin' conspiracy narrative.
    They'll find another token trans to replace you, rinse, repeat.

    Oh blow it out your ass. You are a fucking troll, just go with it. Maybe you could work on your schtick a little bit instead of spending all that effort making excuses for your lame ass bullshit.

    I have to agree with dicky here. I have met a couple of decent libertarians in my life, in person. However, they tend to go the way of atheists and hard core leftist SJWs online. They seem cool at first, but that is just their way of finding out more about you so they can fuck with you better. They are going to eventually become offended at you and when they do they bring back all the prejudice they were supposedly against.

    I am also going to say right here dickanal is neck deep in that world himself.

    There are a lot of Biden Bros around here who dropped cover last primary who have as many morals and ethics as trumpistas.

    @14thDoctor and @Ten Lubak are really just CHUDs who looked at the right wing Incels and militias and realized they were probably going to be the low end of that pole so they came over to the left and hoped they could look tough and not be picked on so much over here. That is why they are here in the geek world. So they just learn the basic memes and go along with the group trying to not be the lowest of losers. The reason they don't contribute much is because they really don't have much to contribute aside from being a member of the group.

    You’ve been pretty toxic towards me since day one. While you’re not WAB level toxic, you’re toxic nonetheless. I’m no saint either. Don’t mind me, carry on.
