through thousands of posts in D&D over a decade, I now believe I know what I'm talking about. if I post forcefully and confidently, I can convince others that is true. no one sees through my facade.
Some of these comments seem like pure Republican fantasy. Cecilia Muñoz has been on the Biden transition team since early September, she oversaw a 50% decrease in overall deportations as part of the Obama team, she's a longtime immigration advocate and civil rights activist, and she's openly advocated against deporting anyone who is not a recent arrival or convicted of a serious crime. She was picked because of her experience in building out a transparent immigration apparatus out of nothing, which is precisely what the Biden administration will have to do.

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

"Serious crime." How's that defined again? Oh and lol I almost missed it, but why should "recent arrivals" be prioritized for removal? Is there an actual reason for this or is it because those are easier targets? Mentioning "recent arrivals" in the same breath as "serious criminals" is a fun trick I saw her do in an interview, but it seems pretty ghoulish to equate the two rhetorically.

And has she made any public statements about three year olds defending themselves in immigration court? I'd love to hear her take on that if you have any links.

Sorry I know this was many pages ago, but I am working my way through the thread to catch up.

I never thought about it in these terms before, but the choice to say “3 million illegal votes” in 2016 means that Trump’s preference is to have America perfectly divided. He picked a number that meant he was “really” exactly even with Clinton, rather than, say, choosing to be the clear popular vote winner himself.

Not really, the only thing he cared about was whether his vote total was bigger than Hillary's or not. Whether that total was a plurality or majority is immaterial as long as it was bigger.

The OBL raid went as good as it possibly could, but it was a huge risk. Essentially, Obama signed off on American Spec Ops raiding into what is ostensibly an American military ally without their knowledge or approval. The fact that the only real failure of it all was a crashed helicopter they had to leave behind was real lucky on their part. Any and all dust up with the Pakistani military would be a colossal international scandal.

We had a multi-page derail about it yesterday and I'm a firm believer in the basic philosophy of "If I am using someone's gender, orientation, or race as part of my dunk, I should probably not post it", but sure, we can find a way to codify it somewhere.

I personally think the hire more women prison guards meme is overplayed but that's not what we asked people to refrain from posting and there is some truth to it, so it's fine.

It's the same substance, it's a critique of using the identity of the person to mask the inherent badness of their position. IE, bosses are bad, and "girlboss" is not empowering when said boss is doing evil, hosed up poo poo. I can see how it is inapplicable to the current lady being discussed, as no one was saying "she's a woman so she'll be great on immigration." Regardless, punishments that can theoretically lead to ramp for breaking just recently made up rules that aren't actually listed anywhere you'd go looking for rules is bad.

Sorry you feel that way but we're still standing by what we decided yesterday. Again, you can very easily critique how ghoulish that person is without needing to make her gender apart of your critique. If you're unable to do that :shrug:

It's a lot of wrestling jargon

kayfabe - an act put on for the show; pretending to have grudges or that the fights and such are real and serious

dirtsheets - I think it's documentation of the stuff for keeping kayfabe

mark - a person that buys into the act. Contrasted with "smarts" who are in on it

work/shoot - the split between fake stuff as part of the act or grift and when it suddenly becomes real because the actors buy into their own act or put real grudges and vengeance into their fake actions, or that there's another layer to the grift: an obvious one that only catches marks, and a subtler one that catches smarts (who are the true marks for those in on the scheme)

I'd like the word 'Jew' also probation worthy, then, because you can totally say that in a way that makes it sound hosed up, so that means it's also a slur.

Same with 'queer', because the standard is now apparently 'if it's literally possible to be used with bigoted intent then it is'.
