jfc… racist humour is always so stupid and lazy.

Hinchcliffe also referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean” and made a remark about Black people who “carved watermelons” instead of pumpkins for Halloween.

A politician having trash like this warm the crowd for them should be shocking.

So far I’ve only heard about this one boss, so CT still has time to get in front of it. If they don’t go beyond “we’re shocked and looking into it” I’ll be the second to join your boycott though.

Even just to renew their brand image, wouldn’t now be a great time for the CT corporation to come out publicly against hiring outside of the country; make it policy? Could even put together a happy workforce montage advert with a “we’re hiring local” voiceover to publicize the change.

imo the source of the problem is the TFW program itself.

Defense for programs that enable debt bondage and human trafficking hasn’t changed much since the early 1900s either: agriculture would collapse, industry in general would be in ruins, it’s a lot of money to Them, local workers are too lazy, and “if you don’t want to go back to slavery, this is the best we can do.”

We can do better than what the guys in this news bit describe.

She says Jan 6 was about “love” directly in the face of a woman whose life she previously threatened on that day. But she has to say it, because that’s what the cult told her last.

“Nothing done wrong at all,” Trump said.

"There were no guns down there. We didn’t have guns. The others had guns, but we didn’t have guns.

“And when I say we, these are people that walked down - this was a tiny percentage of the overall which nobody sees and nobody, nobody shows. But that was a day of love.”

These individuals need deprogrammers, not debate.

I’m turning into a fan of the Lincoln Project’s work. Does the heart good to see conservatives working against the worst the country has to offer.

Anyone else think this is a direct reaction to Dave Bautista calling him a whiny little bitch? Masculinity by proxy/osmosis??? The fuck is this…

"Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women,” Trump said. “This is a guy that was all man.” […]

“When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable,’” Trump said with a laugh. “I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”

Whole thing was a good read. Thanks for linking it.

So there are eligible voters in the USA literally afraid to try voting in case they’re jailed for it. It’s not just confusion.

Fear also drives reluctance. In the face of confusing eligibility regulations, people who are trying to put a criminal conviction behind them often don’t want to risk making a mistake that could send them back to prison. In Florida, several people faced that exact possibility in 2022, after an office set up by Gov. Ron DeSantis began arresting voters who allegedly cast ballots while ineligible to do so.

…

For example, in Nebraska, the bill legislators passed this year changed state law to allow anyone with a felony conviction to register to vote upon completion of their sentence. This modified a 2005 law that automatically restored voting rights for people with felony convictions but required a two-year waiting period upon completion of a sentence.

But then a non-binding opinion by Attorney General Mike Hilgers suggested that not only this year’s law but also the prior 2005 law were unconstitutional, creating a significant cloud of uncertainty for impacted people until this week’s state Supreme Court ruling.

“We were getting lots of calls from people, ‘I’m not going to bother. It worries me too much, and I’m not going to go back to prison,’” said Smith, with Civic Nebraska.
