Everything is on fire - the US politics thread

To facilitate this vetting, all applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas will be instructed to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media profiles to “public.”

No notes.

I cannot wait for Zhang Wei to apply for a visa and the US Immigration Agent having to go through a few hundred thousand profiles to find the right one… (most common name in China)

Not sure if anyone’s been following the democrat primaries for NY mayoral elections. A self described socialist pro-Palestinian Zohran Mamdani just beat the sex pest Andrew Cuomo in a massive upset, despite weeks of the most insane hit-pieces by the major news outlets. I’m almost certain the establishment dems will be throwing their support behind the republican candidate, despite this result.

A large amount of establishment democrats supported Cuomo, despite the fact that the rental lobby was giving him huge amounts of money to ensure rental prices stay up. Good thing they were representing the general American voter

$25m in PAC money to the Cuomo campaign, beaten in the first round by a grass roots movement. It’s so good watching the liberal media losing their fucking mind. Still think that the dems will try and ratfuck him in the election though.

Trump was asked by a Ukrainian reporter from the BBC about patriot missiles being sold to Ukraine. He spent the bigger part of first questioning where she lived, where her husband was and whether the husband was a soldier. The next part, he spruicked that Patriots were the best in the world and apparently have a 100% success rate before spending a few seconds talking about Israel having Patriots and that they may look into more Patriots for Ukraine. After which he asked her to say hi to her husband…

Some US Firefighters have been sniped responding to a bushfire.

Probably one of those survivalist/anti-government militia people. Domestic terrorism?

Actually looks way crazier. They’re reporting it may have been lit deliberately, so there’s a chance they wanted to kill some fire fighters. They can’t actually tackle the blaze because the area isn’t secure

That’s what I meant. Deliberately lit the fire so he can go and snipe a bunch of first responders. - domestic terrorism.

so that’s why those cunts argue for their 2nd amendment rights eh?

taking down tyrannical first responders while their fucking president continues down said tyrannical, authoritarian path.

fucking idiots

Firefighters are regularly disrupting ICE raids…

Pretty sure that part of Idaho is packed full of white supremisist/neo-nazi militia types

All those Rocky Mountain states do. Oregon & Washington too.

Be nice if they could show some consideration & at least try holding off on the civil war until after the World Cup. Thats all I ask.

Imagine it gets integrated into FM and you have to worry about sneaking your players past ice.

“James Smith, your head of player welfare regretfully informs you that Juan Carlos your 29 year old Mexican centerback, Javiar Rodriguez, your 23-year old midfielder, and Ali Yusef your 30 year old Iranian goalkeeper have failed to return from the World Cup having been arrested by immigration officials during the world cup. At this stage we do not have an estimated time of return as their proof of life status has yet to be confirmed”.

Musk just came out stating he’s going to make sure any Republican that votes for the spending bill losses their primary next year. Are we assuming Musk will join the Russian Oligarchs by falling out of a window?

Also the US is currently looking at overturning a ban of asbestos in industry. They’re still wanting to use it in certain industries as it’s too difficult to change…

Asbestos is a strange way to spell slavery
