Even California? California is really big on that, last I heard.

Kamala is 100% corporate Dem, and they helped create this mess. She has zero interest in recognizing that she was and is part of the problem.

Remember that they accurately believed the DNC were horrible. They stopped Hillary. They stopped Biden and Harris. Good for them? Kinda, not really though.

... We know Trump is worse. Far worse. But they saw a legitimate threat, a group of people who were not going to make their lives better, and they took some kind of action to stop them.

And then lots of bigotry. Can't forget that.

If you're interested to try to get to know this person, you can ask directly as others have mentioned. They might naturally interpret it as you hitting on them, if the ages and such are similar.

If you want to be cautious, small talk is fun and less direct. Mention something from the local community or last weekend or whatever. Talk about the weather.

Sell meth to Musk's gang? Get them hooked.

It's kind of amazing how fast everything is moving. I get the feeling that large numbers of government workers were waiting for this opportunity, because if they actually had integrity then they would be protesting in some fashion, or at least dragging their feet and pulling out the red tape.

We all know that just because the big boss orders something doesn't mean it's going to happen this year, so if it is happening this week, it's because rank and file are pushing it. And that's messed up. They should know what they're doing to the country, to themselves, to everyone.

Are you sure that's not the onion?

Of course different people believe different things, but most of the left wing people I know, including myself, realized that the Democrats were not going to save us when the DNC pushed Hillary instead of burning and then she lost in predictable fashion.

You don't get to blame this on the left. Well, do whatever you feel like, but we knew where things were going long before you did.

I do not think so. Even Fox news was calling him out for raising prices on ... checks notes ... almost everything. He didn't win on this, even to them.

At best he broke even. And there are other bribery / corruption cards for him to play using tariffs.

Ah they want all giver workers to quit, but they themselves just got hired and won't quit. Hmm... Maybe those jobs actually have value?

Yes, the whole point was to bring up legal examples, to show the absurdity of trying to read Musk's mind here when we don't even do that for murder trials.

This has everything to do with past presidents. They all wanted Guantanamo Bay to stay open so they could torture and imprison people. They did, and now Trump is.

It's not like nobody could have predicted this. It's not like nobody told them, "You should stop torturing people, stop imprisoning them there, and close the place down." ... In fact, they all heard that advice and ignored it, because they were happy to forget about human rights.

Of course Trump is doing terrible things, and this is one of them. But he's not the first, and he certainly won't be the last. And what you wrote about Kamala is on-point, but you don't even see it, do you. Would she have closed Guantanamo Bay down? Of course not. Because she feels the same way.
