Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
bolverk replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
Something tells me ChickenSangwich doesn't read the youth minister thread, which -- as you obviously know -- is chock-full of red-blooded, god-fearing, white Christian men raping teens and diddling kids. Of course, the descriptors in that clause are: a) why you probably won't find a single post by him in there and b) why his concern is now suddenly raised. -
Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance

I've read that there were three Christian churches in Gaza. Two of them were bombed during the recent war (one of those two had been partially destroyed in 2007 during a previous Israeli bombing). At a third church, two women were murdered by Israeli snipers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Baptist_Church https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Saint_Porphyrius_airstrike https://www.vaticannews.va/en/world/news/2023-12/in-gaza-israelis-attack-holy-family-parish-two-women-killed.html -
100,000 Eggs Are Stolen in Pennsylvania Amid Shortage The theft of the eggs, which the authorities said were worth $40,000, comes as grocery shoppers across the country are facing empty shelves and higher prices for eggs. The Pennsylvania State Police said this week that they were investigating the theft on Saturday of 100,000 organic eggs worth more than $40,000 from a distribution trailer in Greencastle, in south-central Pennsylvania. The eggs were stolen at around 8:40 p.m. from a facility operated by Pete & Gerry’s Organics, according to a police report. “The thieves could sell them or even use them for vandalizing purposes,” Trooper Megan Frazer, a State Police spokeswoman, said in an email on Wednesday. “We don’t know what purpose of stealing 100,000 would be for at this time. With the extreme increased price of eggs, someone may have thought they could sell them.” “The only thing similar I have encountered during my career,” she added, “was a stolen trailer full of ‘tainted chickens.’” Eggs have been a prominent feature in the national news cycle. Their rising cost was a talking point in the presidential campaign. Suppliers are warning about the impact of avian influenza on availability and prices. And this week, Waffle House introduced a 50-cent surcharge on every egg it serves. (The chain says it serves more than 272 million eggs a year.) In Pennsylvania, the trail has gone quiet, at least publicly, since the nighttime raid. But at a time when shoppers across the country are facing empty shelves and higher prices when shopping for eggs, the theft has drawn outsize attention to what would ordinarily be seen as a local event. “This egg theft incident is definitely unusual and has gained national attention,” Trooper Frazer said. With no new information to report since the theft, local and national news organizations this week are trying to engage readers with egg puns. Thieves “poached” the eggs from a truck, leaving Pete & Gerry’s “shell shocked,” The New York Post reported. “Pa. police scramble to crack case,” Cleveland.com said in a headline, adding that the investigation would take some “hard-boiled” detective work.

Ah man, that takes me back to middle school. Super Dave left me rolling on the floor laughing out loud. (Yes, I intentionally spelled that out in an unironic, old fart, sincere kind of way.)

My typical "strategy" with Quordle is to have three starting words, always the same. Between them, they include every vowel and some of the most common consonants in the English language without a single duplicate letter. So, for this game, I very, very rarely get words correctly at all in the first three guesses, but I do have a rather high "hit rate" in getting everything solved by the seventh guess. That strategy obviously blew up in my face this time and failed miserably. Nothing went right on the first three guesses. Take a look at those first three rows, and you can understand my flusterationication. I'm sincerely impressed you got it by the eighth guess.

I remember the bit but didn't know where it came from. I thought it was in the same vein as mind-bottling. DUMB QUESTIONS AMNESTY: Who was that guy? What connection did he have with Antonio Brown? Same question for LeBron? Are their relationships analogous in some way to Johntay? I don't follow much off-the-field or off-the-court stuff (on-the-court, too, for that matter), so apologies in advance for the questions.

I'll agree with Brian that they could've done more, at least from the margins. Going off of memory and what was made public, I think that Kamala only agreed to meet with pro-Palestinian protestors once during a campaign stop in Michigan. It was, however, only behind closed doors. Immediately afterward, she held an event, and a group of protestors (separate from the one that was met with) protested her appearance. I think most of us who were paying attention remember that. I believe this was also after the DNC, where no Palestinians were seen or heard on stage as if the campaign didn't trust the pro-Palestinian camp from going off script. Now, they may well have had good reasons for not doing so (I, of course, have zero insider knowledge), but that lack of representation at the convention could also be seen as an insult. Does that excuse sitting home, voting for Trump or Stein, or even sitting out the election? Fuck no! But I do agree that the Kamala campaign could've shown more public displays of affection to, at the very least, not make them feel like wayward outcasts. Sure, it'd be a superficial gesture from the campaign's perspective, but apparently, it really mattered to some of that protest bloc.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

It's neither here nor there, but one curious thought just did cross my mind: I wonder how many toddlers there are now in America running around with the name Elon. -

Since xenophobia is all the rage these days, I'm going to have to ask it. Are we sure that kid is even an American? -

Yep. That's how ethnic cleansing works. Conquer a territory Deport most or all of the undesirables--usually along racial/ethnic, linguistic, and/or religious lines Profit It appears that current US foreign policy is now in favor of ethnic cleansing. Yes, modern America is a nation that, as a matter of policy, promotes, aids, and abets in ethnic cleansing. That's our official stance now. Who's next?

The line for me on Palestinians is very much akin to the situation of Hispanic Latinos. I'll mock the tears of the Palestinian Americans and Mexican Americans who sat out or voted for Trump, but I will not make fun of the actual migrants getting deported or Gazans who will get kicked out (except for those who confoundingly supported Trump's election from the sidelines).

As many of us have been saying, this has been Bibi's goal all along. The only shocking thing is WE are going to do it for him, probably foot most of the bill (and shed most of the blood), and likely hand it over on the contingency of granting development opportunities to TrumpCo and friends.

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group. The Proud Boys no longer have control over their own name. Under a ruling by a Washington judge on Monday, the infamous far-right group was stripped of control over the trademark “Proud Boys” and was barred from selling any merchandise with either its name or its symbols without the consent of a Black church in Washington that its members vandalized. In June 2023, the church won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys after the organization’s former leader, Enrique Tarrio, and several of his subordinates attacked it in a night of violence after a pro-Trump rally in December 2020. The ruling by the judge, Tanya M. Jones Bosier of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, effectively means that Proud Boys chapters across the country can no longer legally use their own name or the group’s traditional symbols without the permission of the church that was attacked, the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church. The ruling also clears the way for the church to try to seize any money that the Proud Boys might make by selling merchandise like hats or T-shirts emblazoned with their name or with any of their familiar logos, including a black and yellow laurel wreath. In a lengthy statement, Mr. Tarrio said the church should have its nonprofit status revoked and Judge Bosier should be impeached. “Their actions are a betrayal of justice,” he wrote, adding, “I hold in contempt any motions, judgments and orders issued against me.” The initial judgment against the Proud Boys determined that Mr. Tarrio and other members of the group had climbed over a fence surrounding the church, which is just blocks from the White House, and burned a Black Lives Matter banner it was flying. The episode took place after a violent clash between supporters and critics of President Trump. The church called the Proud Boys’ actions “acts of terror” in its lawsuit and said they had been meant “to intimidate the church and silence its support for racial justice.” A judge agreed, calling the Proud Boys’ conduct “hateful and overtly racist.” When the Proud Boys failed to turn over any money, lawyers for the church sought to satisfy the judgment by seizing control of the trademarked name and by enjoining the group from “selling, transferring, disposing of or licensing” any merchandise using the words “Proud Boys” or any of the organization’s symbols. The ruling was handed down as the Proud Boys were riding high after Mr. Trump, in one of his first official acts in his return to the White House, included Mr. Tarrio and several of his lieutenants in his sweeping act of clemency to all of the nearly 1,600 people prosecuted in connection with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Mr. Tarrio, who was serving a 22-year prison term on charges of seditious conspiracy, received a full and unconditional pardon from Mr. Trump. His four co-defendants had their own prison terms commuted to time served. The banner-burning episode had a dramatic effect on the events of Jan. 6. It led to Mr. Tarrio’s arrest on vandalism charges as he returned to Washington on Jan. 4, 2021. As part of the case brought against him, he was kicked out of the city and was in Baltimore when his subordinates took part in the storming of the Capitol. On the night the banner was burned, another Proud Boys leader, Jeremy Bertino, was stabbed on the street during a clash with leftist counterprotesters. One lingering effect of that episode was that it turned the Proud Boys against the police after years of having troublingly close relationships with officers across the country. Another was that Mr. Bertino eventually became a government witness and testified against his compatriots at the trial of Mr. Tarrio and his co-defendants.
