Okay cool you can say that as much as you want, but there are documented cases demonstrating that this effects everyone in the US or attempting to enter.

I even acknowledged already that POC are disproportionately affected in my last comment. Why are you trying to manufacture an argument?

The US is not a safe place for anyone especially POC.

That’s the accurate statement. Yes ICE/Border Patrol are disproportionately targeting POC, but they’re not stopping there.

Like I didn’t say this earlier because in context it was irrelevant and I hate having to write lengthy comments that discuss every part of a large complex issue, but here we are.

I don’t do this for many things but i do use it sometimes

I’ve used care credit because a single emergency vet bill can be pricey and while I could empty my savings that’s not the best idea. So I just pay it off within the promotional period. Worse case scenario I am in a position to secure a traditional personal loan to completely pay off that balance at a more favorable interest rate.

I used a 0% intro rate travel card for a European vacation once and it was great paying that off over a year.

That being said I wouldn’t finance groceries or Christmas shopping. That’s going a bit far

Don’t know if you’ve heard but the US has been arresting white German citizens lately

Now you’re a tough guy™ when you point out hypocrisy

Not very familiar with the lead up to the American Revolution are we?

Lots of things being thrown

Man this is lemmy whiplash. One thread judging Americans for not starting a rebellion and the next saying we shouldn’t throw bricks at cops.

What do you people think rebellion is?

It’s only porn if it comes from the porneaux region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling sex

I’ve seen this sentiment a lot lately. It’s just a very bad argument.

We aren’t going to type out a list of every US war criminal ever. We are talking about current events and want the active war criminals stopped.

Obviously we should try all war criminals, but let’s stop the war crimes first

Every president since Clinton except Obama have been born within 5 years of each other. We’ve given the same generation power for over 30 years now

Makes more sense to just ask Clinton

Which still implies he did blow Bill Clinton, just not very well

Carrot vs stick.

Just give incentives to voluntarily have less kids. Heck, even just education, high wages, and social mobility (particularly for women) typically drops the birth rate at or under 1 child anyway.

We have time on our side. I fully expect him to die before the term is up to some health complication. He’s rather old

Unfortunately the US has allowed president’s to effectively start wars since the 1973 War Powers Resolution Act. It allows any US president to engage in a conflict for up to 60 days without congressional approval.

60 days is a long fucking time, once the military is involved congress knows it can’t just pull out of a country. So we always stay

were arming the kids

No no you misunderstand and male that appeared over 16 based on drone footage was considered a target. They didn’t have to be armed. The only crime these kids committed was being outside.

Now how often do you think other people like women and younger children were killed in cold blood and written off as “appeared to be a male over 16”?

I’d wager the majority were civilians.

I’ll never understand how you can justify classifying every male about 16 as a combatant. The US was literally invading other nations and killing their kids. Like specifically targeting them in precision strikes.

Whoosh

Yes the 4th amendment makes it to where police cannot simply check your ID, and as you said it’s not required to carry either.

enforcment is kinda difficult

Our police should be trained to respect our citizens and their rights. Too bad that makes it difficult for them. Instead they are trained to be belligerent to get what they want.

Are we talking basement or do i have to crawl everywhere
