I don't agree with weave but I have to ask when is the DoJ going to go after DHS/ICE/CBP for discriminating based on skin color? Or are they only worried about discrimination against white skinned people but don't give 2 sh!ts about discrimination against people with darker skin?

At least they're putting their bigotry and hypocrisy out there for all the world to see.

They used skin color to profile people and target them.

Funny thing is they then got their panties in a bunch when an independent Hilton hotel property profiled them based on email address and denied their reservations. Karma can be such a bitch.

Wait until a future administration uses the same principle to target bearded white rednecks with confederate battle flag tee shirts and deus vult and similar tattoos. You'll be screaming bloody murder.

Being here illegally is illegal.

Being a bearded white redneck with confederate battle flag tee shirts and deus vult (whatever that is) and similar tattoos isn’t illegal.

I don’t have any Confederate Battle Flag t-shirts or deus vult or similar tats (I’m a rebel- I don’t have tats). So I’m good! :thumb: .

Being a non Hispanic white isn't illegal by itself but according to trump's jack booted thugs it's an indicator that you might be an illegal immigrant.

Being a bearded white redneck with confederate battle flag tee shirts and deus vult and similar tattoos also isn’t illegal but according to a future administration's jack booted thugs it could be an indicator that you're a member of a insurrectionist, white supremacist militia group.

Be careful what precedents you set today, they could be used against you in the future.

Karma works both ways. I don't have a problem with that.

I find the DHS/ICE/CBP whining and crying like little bitches funny though. I thought they were alpha males but they keep demonstrating that they're the opposite.

So do the working poor of which there are more of than farmers.

So if “farmers have work ethic” why do they need socialist programs? Is that type of socialism ok?

And please respond with something thoughtful this time rather than a nervous deflection.

Listen up game boy, while you were still down in your basement playing Xbox and giggling smoking weed, I was out patrolling the Florida Straits. One cannot believe the gratitude in the eyes of someone who escaped socialism on an innertube. They were all so thankful to get out of Cuba and to be rescued at sea. You know socialism is bad when people will risk their life to get out. Too many Cubans got into the axis of the Gulf Stream and drifted right past Florida and up into the colder waters off North Carolina and many were never to be seen alive again. They knew the risk but it didn’t stop them from risking it all by getting into those rickety boats or anything that floats.

Man you get so spun out in these conversations. :lol:

Authoritarianism and wealth in the hands of the few at the expense of the many ain’t just a socialist thing. Ever heard of Pinochet, Milton Friedman and the Chicago boys?

You’re also apparently unaware that Trump has implemented socialist policies. Or maybe it’s ok as long as it’s your guy.

And I’m too old to be a gamer. But since your weed obsession isn’t working out I suppose that will be your next vector of attack rather than trying to stand on the merits of your arguments and level of comprehension.

Here’s your weekly moment of socialist zen from socialist Provence. :)

Because I have seen it, I have experienced it and I have dealt with it… face to face ….. not via some text book or moronic tweet

Why won’t you say that Venezuela and Cuba style socialism are oppressive and bad?

Is it because you have no empathy?

Is it socialism that is bad or the authoritarianism that it can lead to? Is the socialism of a typical Israeli Kibbutz oppressive and bad?

Is there any difference between how oppressive and bad rightwing and leftwing authoritarianism are?

I've said this before, ideology isn't a line, it's more of a circle. The extreme right and the extreme left share so many similarities that they meet at the bottom.
