I think we all know they'll just close every account they're currently charging >10% interest on. They'll just say the new risk isn't worth the reduced squeeze. Good news either way though. It eliminates a lot of usury even if it hurts up front.

It will be easier to pay off and subprime borrowers shouldn't have access to large credit lines anyway.

The fact it took an amendment to "clarify" that states couldn't do what you said they exactly had the power to do puts your reasoning to the torch. You are basically making the argument slaves were always free, the 13th amendment merely "clarified" they always were. No one believed that then, and I hope nobody buys this argument of yours now.

I’m going to go out on a limb and venture that they meant to say “codify” instead of “clarify”

The baseline probability of autism in the adult population is around 2%.


The commenter's intense fixation on a subtle facial feature (nose contouring via makeup), including creating or sharing a zoomed-in visual comparison of "normal" vs. "today," along with expressing hope that it's just lighting while bluntly pointing it out despite agreeing with the person's statements, suggests a pattern of hyper-focused attention to detail and possibly reduced filtering of social commentary on appearance. This aligns with traits more commonly observed in autistic individuals, such as enhanced pattern recognition in visuals and directness in observations that others might overlook or deem irrelevant.


This evidence raises the probability modestly, to approximately 5-7%.

There may be a 5-7 percent possibility.
But you're not calling me wrong. (yet)

Better to send the women. Who do you think the average leftist is in any educational institution? They make up the majority of education from pre-k on up to college from the classroom to the administration. When people say "the long march through the institutions," who do you think was doing the marching? Oh yes, leftist men exist, but they wouldn't have nearly the power or institutional sway if their weren't a host of female "educators" always ready to back them up. Send the women, and replace them with either right-wing women, or right-wing men. Retake the schools, and the future generations will sneer at race marxism.

Also, alcohol was always prohibited and also always unprohibited at the same time.

His predictions usually amount to: “leftists will win everything forever and force everyone else into re-education camps. Everyone in the US will accept gay race communism because right wingers are just that awful and inept.”

Just look at her inability to reason. Why should I want someone whose age of reason is "never" to have the right to vote?
 
smallground dijo:
Can't say that being so attentive to everything happening in the Minnesota shooting has been good for my mental health. Going to take a break.

Leaving some predictions:
- The release of the new footage won't change the minds of anyone on the left. Mainstream media is already dropping coverage. This will be a repeat of the CK media clusterfuck.
In the next few months/a year:
- Someone on the left will refuse ICE to operate in their state and draw a parallel to Northern states refusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave act before the Civil War (basically call it unconstitutional/amoral/inhuman). Probably Newsom, then Walz. It will be theater against ICE but BP will remain untouched.
- ICE operations will slow because the promise has been decently kept for the first year and it's a way of backing off while not being a complete retreat. Think broader coverage across all states and less intense focus on individual cities so no "reductions in field agents" (layoffs) are needed.

Yes I know some won't like these predictions, I'm not saying I like them either, but it's what I think will happen.

I agree with the first two which is why I believe the third won't happen trump very much seems to double down when he's opposed on something

A distinction without a difference. The country used to be ran in accordance with the votes of men, and the votes of those men led to women being able to vote. If you don't think women should be allowed to vote, the blame for this falls on the shoulders of men. If a healthy majority of men said "fuck no", to suffragettes, women would not have been enfranchised.

"Used to be ran" - lol.

Nope. Re-read. As already explained, although the common (de facto, not de jure) situation was commonly white land-owning men, it was not the case everywhere, because voting rights were states' rights to determine. Categories of people were disenfranchised by states. Further, as cited, non-landowner (POOR) white men were not "granted" the right to vote by all then-current states until 1856.

Further, Constitutional amendments relating to voting rights were not voted in by the populace, ace. Do you even know how Constitutional amendments work?

"If a healthy majority of white land-owning men said "fuck no" to poor white men, the poor white men would not have been enfranchised."

I don't think I see a single rifle-slinger amongst that whole crew.

Wouldn't worry about 'em too much, to be honest

Oh, I’m not that worried. They definitely aren’t like the anarchists of the 19th and 20th centuries that would be willing to die just to carry out a single assassination. These guys cower at pepper spray.

I like the idea, but expanding Greenland's population would be difficult without expensive investments in power generation and the economy. Investments like nuclear power stations, hydroelectric dams, and mineral refineries would seem to be out of reach without direct US government support. And it's hard to guess what the US government's involvement might look like since the administration hasn't revealed any post-annexation plans.

Edit: according to ChatGPT, Greenland has enough coal reserves to provide residential power for 170,000 people for 100 years.

I think Trump needs to get a team to investigate the Hiawatha Crater and give it a second opinion on the mineral compounds to properly carbon date it once we have Greenland. I think those Danish scientists lied when they said the crater is much older as a false means to discredit the Younger Dyas impact theory.
